Online Achievements - Your Thoughts, Opinions and Rants

I don't mean, whether they should stay or go, fact is they're staying regardless, I'm asking about you general opinion on them.

See, I like online achievements, but I don't like achievements that depend on other people actions. for eg. in PGR3, you have complete 50 online clean races, fine. however even if someone hits you and its completely not your fault it still counts against, and because smashin into other people cars is a good way to get ahead in a race, yeah, everybody does it.

I also don't like online achievements that are so ridiculously hard, that you'd have to be some kind of super great gaming elite genius to be good enough to unlock, BF2:MC I'm lookin at you. either that or know enough peole to willing to lay down for you.

anyway, what do you guys think

They are a nice touch so you have goals to achieve for a game, while getting rewarded. Although, I'm not an achievement whore. In other words, if I don't get achievements I'm not concerned.metallica_fan42

thats a good thing.. you probably don't use as much cuss words as i do when trying to unlock some achievements. lol..

.. anyway, i don't mind hard achievements, but some of the things these guys come up with are just a tad short of insane.

i don't think they should cut down or limit online achievements, i just think that they should make the challenging, just not so hard you feel like cryin

I think some of them are poorly designed. Firstly, any achievement that involves you getting #1 on the leaderboards should be rolled back. It's absolutely rediculous, especially when some of the leaderboards are topped by cheaters.

Then there's achievements like the 10,000 kills in Gears. It takes a long time to get that many, and the only people that have it are the ones that would've been playing that much anyway. It's an artificial lengthening of the game at that rate rather than pure skill. 100 headshots? Skill. Play DOA4 for 100 hours? Tedious.

i dont really care 4 then i jus think that they r jus a ## but like if i unlock 1 ill jus b like kool =3 lolrace_suace
