They also shouldnt require you to do the exact same thing over a ridiculously extended amount of time, e.g. Jetpack Joyride, complete the 5th day of the SAM challenge for the 10th time, meaning you have to do this stupid "challenge" for 50 days in a row, long after you have collected every other trophy, this is what I'm currently working on on PS3, Vita and PS4

Currently grinding in FF XIII do I complete the missions.

Fuck that Rayman Legend grinding trophy too
Takes months to do

The biggest problem with multiplayer achievements is that they encourage players to behave in a way that hurts their team. Multiplayer achievements should be feats of skill earned by playing the game well, rather than retarded gimmicks that achievement hunters will die 20 times trying to perform.

Holy shit, this. I remember once joining a discussion about a multiplayer game I liked a lot, where the developers were reading comments, and it at some point became about adding more achievements that demanded stupid shit from the player that detracted from everyone else's experience. Thank god the devs never followed through on it.

Dead Rising 2 had an achievement for killing a bazillion zombies within one playthrough. The fastest way was to get a car and drive over hordes of zombies for like 8 hours.

Devs use achievements like these to gather information on their players.

For example if 60% of all players that own your game never finished the last chapter of the game you might wonder why and look at why they all stopped.

Demon's Souls

Why do we need achievements?
They didn't use to exist. Now, it seems, they're a must for all games.

I avoided Undershit since it first came out because I could tell by the acclaim and fanwank that the community was completely garbage and the game must not be any better. I saw gameplay of it for the first time yesterday when my friend bought her PS4 over.
She got 4 trophies from clicking on a bowl of M&Ms over and over again, in the span of roughly 10 seconds. 3 bronzes and a silver, which takes me roughly 40 minutes or so of effort in a game like, say, Vice City or KOFXIV.
Not only was I sickened by the kindergarten-esque awarding of gold stars, but the gameplay looked like some serious 2deep4u garbage on top of it all, barely an RPG and barely whatever the hell kind of bullet hell it tried to be too.

>>387603683
Jetpack Joyride's "Collect all items" trophy is just ridiculous. It took me a solid year or so of on and off playing to get it, if you don't throw money at the game the most you can get a run is like 2-5k coins.

>>387603804
There's one in the postgame you shouldn't complete at all until you're done farming as it add Shao Longui's to your game which are nightmarish, and the entire last 30+ hours you will just be farming Adamantortoises for Platinum Ingots so if you do that one mission the only one in the game will be that one in Eden next to the save point and it's awful to grind.

>>387606150
oh well karma punished me hard in dark souls 3 where i had to grind many hours for covenant items.

Many of them do, although that data is mostly multiplayer stats used for balancing.
David Cage said once that they used trophies to see that there were 3x as many users with Heavy Rain trophies than there were Heavy Rain sales (indicating a lot of used sales, renting, and friend borrowing).

Honestly everyone hypes up pure bladestone, the truly most difficult demons souls trophy is getting all the rings
>multiple rings you can only acquire once per playthrough
>Each ring forces you to be PWWT or PBWT
>If certain requirements aren't met, you won't be able to get a ring
>Have to literally play through the entire game all over again just to get the ring you missed
>which you can screw up
>Meaning it could take potentially 10 or more playthrough of the game to collect each one

>>387603095
I like achievements that ask you to do unusual or interesting strategies.

> Beat the game with a squad size of only 4.
> Defeat Mid Boss with your bare fists.
> Clear the first level in under 40 seconds.

Nigga, the dev himself made these trophies as a joke because he had no idea what to put in. If you have to sperg, at least do it for a reason.
>Inb4 "Hurrdurr Undertale fan" etc...
I don't even own the game, I don't like it.

It's a fun game, and the achievements are used for comedy at the expense of faggots like you.

>>387605120
Halo Reach had an achievement that was 42 gamerscore, and it required you to:
>play competitive online Stockpile, which nobody fucking picked
>collect all the flags at the same time, which fluctuated based on flag timer, both team strengths, and team cooperation
>pray Little Johnny didn't buttfuck your setup by putting one flag in the capture zone a second before the time runs out or failing to spot check and letting the other team take your stockpile
To really rub it in, the 13 g achievement with it was insanely easy to net. I had no mic for communication, so I finally dialed it down to a wordless method by punching all my team members with the flag when they had it in the zone until we had all 4, and they somehow figured out what I was trying to do by beating the hell out of them and shaking my camera up & down or side-to-side when asked questions.
It tickled my autism for months.

>Bullet Witch gives you an achievement with an odd number for playing 10 hours of the game which is like one playthrough
>To 100% and get rid of the odd number you need to play through the game five or six times total, one on each difficulty, and max out all the magic in a single playthrough which takes forever.
Halo achievements were ridiciulous though, 3's specifically.
>They're nearly all in Lone Wolf the FFA mode.
>"Roadkill a guy with a Mongoose", the thing with the smallest hitbox imaginable that you can barely do even with people intentionally standing still due to how the thing swerves when going in a straight line.
>"Kill two enemies with one Spartan Laser" when the only wya to do that is to shoot them at the exact time someone is trying to board a Ghost or Warthog.
Then to take the piss they added those Mythic Map ones like "Get 30 kills without dying in a FFA game" or something like that.

That new Hellblade game is a fun, easy plat, and takes about 6-7 hours. It's literally complete the game and find 2 optional Runestones (the rest are literally on your main story path).
