achievements in games are getting easier and easier over the years

in general they are super easy to get now

for example the old gears of war you had to work to get those achievements

new gears of war you can clear the whole game out for the most part in a weekend

left 4 dead is the same pretty much all easy achievements except for a couple

anyone else agree

i mean now when i clear a game out i don't even feel like i acomplished anything

Meh, think it all depends on the game.

gears 2 the achivement was easy as hell, gears 1 was hard to get "this is annex" for an exampel....

Some might have gotten easier. I think it is more of a quality over quantity thing. I mean when the launch games came out they had what? 12-15 achievements to get? (if I remember correctly) Maybe they made them a bit harder because there was only a few to get. (might not have thought it would take off like it did) They might be a bit easier or it might too be that you are just getting more, more frequently. So it feels like you are getting so many without much work. This doens't exactly match up with what you said about Gears 1 though. Since it wasn't one of the couple of games that came out first. But maybe those few you don't have in Left 4 Dead are like the "hard" ones in the earlier launch games.

I disagree, older games are easier, nearly every launch title 1000 points in less than 15hrs per game, quick and easy, last year I didnt play a single game that ive been able to achieve 1000 points... I say its getting harderBladedNuiasnce

It just depends on the game. Back at launch, there were games hard as hell to complete (PDZ), and there were easy ones to complete (King Kong). It still holds true today, some are easy, some are hard. Just depends on what the developer decides.

Easier, don't think so. If anything they have gotten more interesting.

I think it really does depend on the game. Don't forget to take into account tha you've been playing for years so naturally you will have gotten better at playing the games too.

Agreed. RE5 was easy to get all of them.

5points just for loading soul calibre 4 for the first time..........wtf waste of points

I disagree. There have always been easy and hard game achievements. Back in the day there was Madden 06, or any of the early sports games. Super easy achievements. And even Oblivion had easy achievements, though I think Oblivion's achievements were quite appropriate for the game. While you naturally got them, they did take a concerted effort. And then there were games like FEAR, with ridiculous achievements.

I think the same is true today. We have our easy achievement games, and our ridiculous achievement games like Far Cry 2 and Ninja Gaiden 2. And the sports games, achievements are far harder today than they were in 2006 games.
