The funniest Achievements and Trophies ever, part three: That’s so meta

Sometimes, developers use their awards to comment on games as a medium or point out something silly about the nature of these unlockables. Hang on for this one; it’s about to get deep.

I forgot all about The Dishwasher!

I remember missing the Get Shorty achievement by a few hours... guess I'll try again in the fall.

THR1LLHOUSE4108d ago

I like meta achievements. Those Eat Lead ones are pretty funny. Makes me wish the game had turned out better....

I actually really liked it. Sure, it wasn't amazing. But it was a lot of fun, and the gameplay was decent. I was working at Gamestop/EB Games at the time, and I thought the game was going to be shit. But when it came in we only got 1 copy for PS3, so I was looking at it and I was reading the front/back, and idk I just got the feeling that I should give it a chance. So I did, and I really enjoyed it. Don't regret it at all.

I loved the one in The Simpsons where you got a cheevo just for pressing "Start."

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.

Odd this and the xillia games still haven't gotten remasters yet.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil1d 8h ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai1d 2h ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa10h ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal8h ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.

Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II - PC Wore it Better

Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II was an intriguing and unique RTS title, that sadly suffered in its console port.

dadavis19921d ago

Was just thinking about this game and wishing I had a way to revisit it. The way EA scrubs these titles from existence once their licensing runs out is horrid.

Michiel198913h ago

there is a client made by modders and it also works online.

kevco3312h ago

Indeed. The game can still be played online on PC.

Xbox 360 players, though? Bang outta luck.
