5 Gaming Achievements To Be Embarrassed About

WC writes: You know what it is like… you spend hours playing your favourite game and up pops another achievement, reminding you of just what a master you have become at defending the planet, driving fast cars or just running around collecting things.

However, some achievements are nothing to brag about. Here are a some examples.

"Adam Wake is a relatively hidden gem from 2011. I thought it was game of the year. As a fan of Twin Peaks, The Twilight Zone and Stephen King, it was for me like entering the genre of horror suspense itself"

Who the f*** is Adam Wake?

OT: And what about that achievement in Lollipop where you have to look up Juliets skirt. I still haven't done it, haha it just seems weird.

32froshes4286d ago

Oh, I got the Lollipop Chainsaw one! That should definitely have been on the list though.

FarCryLover1824286d ago

It was even 2010, not 2011. Heh.

SockeyBoy4285d ago

Its alright man, I wasn't too serious.

How does one confuse L with D? Pretty far away on the keyboard to be a typo....

also/2010 =/= 2011

muhuhuhu/ Really though everyone is just joking, it's not like you simply lied about playing it...right?....RIGHT!?

ado9084285d ago

Are people really being serious right now? You people get serious for no damn reason. Really 11 dislikes? JamieLee umm it's a typo because he misclicked that's why it's a typo. How does he have "Alan Wake" as a title in one place and than Adam wake in the sentence? It's obviously a typo. I often don't look at the keyboard when Im typing so you would be surprised how many words I misclicked. Even if you people believe he purposely wrote "Adam" wake what is that suppose to mean necessarily? It's a typo and people stop getting your panties up in the bunch. You are grown *** men so if a little comment like it's a typo hurts you so much than I feel sorry for you and who ever gave birth to you.

BlackTar1874285d ago

seriously people need help when they get all bent out of shape over a typo. He spelt it wrong all creditability lost. Maybe someday the internet will grow up but its not today.

ado9084285d ago

Irishguy the 12 disagree's kinda disproves what you said. Apparently people take this to heart. Not referring to you tho.

ShinMaster4285d ago (Edited 4285d ago )

First of all, good sir, you're the one going crazy and to extreme lengths to defend this LIE . . . sorry I meant typo :P
So I suggest you calm down.

* Getting ALaN mixed with ADaM.
* Getting 2010 mixed with 2011.
* There was nothing "hidden" about it. It was popular on the interwebz (lol)

That's just too big of an error to be a simple typo.

Hmm... Adam Wake.

That must be what Mr. Scratch is calling himself.

xstreetsweeperx4285d ago

Adam wake....... is the writer that was unsuccessful and will always live in the shadow of alan, his brother.

yep, closed the page when i realized i'd have to click to another page just to see number 4.

Eyeco4285d ago

He says..

"I didn’t like Resident Evil 5 because I was rubbish at it. I just could not stay alive as I continuously ran out of ammo before being cornered and dispatched with by hordes of Majini."

Resident Evil 5 was the easiest RE game you can play the game by simply avoiding 60% of the enemies, as well as ammo and health lurking around every corner, seriously how do you "run out" of ammo in that game, try playing Code Veronica X for a challenging survival horror

PooEgg4285d ago (Edited 4285d ago )

I don't mind lists when they stay contained to 1 or 2 webpages, but 1 example per page is obvious click bait.

This article sucks. I thought it was going to be about achievements that you'd have to spend hours upon hours on end to earn. Instead it's just the ramblings of a whiny gamer.

How is he whiny? The article seems pretty lighthearted to me.

You left out The Darkness games bring those back

fan_of_gaming7d ago

The head of Nightdive Studios has posted that The Darkness is on their list of games they want to do, so hopefully something comes from that

Yi-Long7d ago

Little Big Planet 1 and 2 deserve a mention, IMO.

Good call on Motorstorm, a game released 2 gens ago but still looks and feels so good. Motorstorm 2 and Motorstorm RC were gems as well. They followed up the Motorstorm games with the brilliant Driveclub, which still manages to put modern racing games to shame. Imagine closing down a studio as talented as that ... (!) Incredible.

A little 'arcade-gem' back then was The Last Guy, a top down 'follow the leader' snake-like game where you had to find and lead survivors to safety during an alien invasion, on terrible looking 'Google-earth' maps. Graphics were poor, even back then, but would love that same gameplay with modern maps and graphics.

Street Fighter 4, once it finally had a full roster, was quite good, but it was always an ugly game, sadly. Imagine bringing that back while using the current SF6 engine.

fan_of_gaming7d ago

Good suggestions, I'd be in for
LittleBigPlanet
LittleBigPlanet 2
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
Motorstorm: RC

purple1017d ago

God damn I love motorstorm so much

At the time I had a low-mid range sony 40” tv, The latency to the controller was waaaay too high, would to play a modern version

In saying that later I got a 3d lg tv and playing the 3d motorstorm in my bedroom with the environment crumbling around the track, was something special, specially compared to what others were playing at the time, will always remember that

Skuletor7d ago

Some good choices here and Resistance: Fall of Man is my most wanted PS3 remaster/remake. Not sure about their claim it was Sony's answer to Gears of War though.

CrimsonWing697d ago

I’d rather have sequels than remakes. Look at Dead Space 1 Remake. Would’ve been cooler if we got a new entry and it failed with sales sealing the fate of a sequel rather than just replay the same game and it fail in sales and we never get a new entry.

Remakes are great for things like PS2 and earlier games to really get a crazy new graphical coat, but I think we should ease up on all these remakes and actually do sequels.

fan_of_gaming7d ago

Yeah for sure, sequels would be ideal. But in the current market environment where many big publishers are risk-averse, I'd rather get a remaster or remake that a developer can do on a budget that will be approved, rather than nothing for an IP.

Inverno7d ago

I rather they remaster and port over to PC and current gen all the games permanently stuck on PS360. Those games don't need remakes, they need to be given a chance to live again outside of their confined consoles and then give a few proper sequels. Like Sleeping Dogs, Motor Storm, LA Noir, should get another entry.

fan_of_gaming7d ago

Yeah I'd be fine with remasters of PS3 games too, they don't have to be remakes.

Rockstar still strying to make GTA plus work
Should be $6 for the rdr game on sale not 6 bucks for a months playtime

Exvalos21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

I hear ya, 49.99 or whatever the price on that game is, is a bit stiff seeing as it's just a port.

anast21d ago

Why would anyone rent this game?

jznrpg21d ago

One of my favorite games from PS3 generation. I have the remaster as there was a buy 2 get 1 free deal a while back but the price they are charging for the port is way too high although not surprising at all.

OtterX37d ago

I still think this release was a big waste of time. I would have been a day 1 purchaser if they had redone the game w RDR2 graphics. I still own my PS3 copy, so don't see the point in picking this up if it's minimally improved.

CobraKai37d ago

I bought the game cheaper than the remaster on 360. There’s no reason in releasing the game at that price with so little improvements if any.

Profchaos36d ago

It's nice to have it as a handheld game I guess if you travel a lot but yes the ps5 release was a joke

kaos8937d ago

It plays at 60 fps on PS5 and a higher res if you value that.

OtterX37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

Yea, PS3 graphics at 60fps and 4k doesn't warrant the price. It was severely disappointing considering they already created so many of the assets north of the San Luis River (New Austin) in RDR2 and could have reused a lot of things, or reworked things bc they are the same area at different times in a fairly close history. It's friggin' Rockstar - you know they have the money and resources to have done it.

jznrpg21d ago

I like that I can play the game on current generation console but it would have been nice if they did more to make it look better.

Profchaos36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

They should have released the game in its current state not the state it launched in. Obvious we all wanted this to be a expansion to rdr 2 given that the original map was already remade in the game lots of people though this was just going to be added in later as paid DLC.

Now the game runs at 4k 60 fps on ps5 and can be brought on sale it's actually worth playing.

At launch the game was priced far to high and was a ps360 era game that couldn't run at 60 fps.

I'm in no way a frame rate snob I defended games like tears of the kingdom in the past for being 30 fps experiences but rdr was a joke at launch
