The trouble with this one is that it’s a fail-easy one. In other words, most achievements are things you can do, eventually, whereas that one is something you can never get if you mess up the first time.

Screw it I don’t want to start a stupid fight… No hard feelings?

If they include the achievement “Black Hawk Down”, I’ll eat my own hat. :smiley:

#146

I NEVER die.

#147

#148

di die and dye- die over 900 times

#149

Houdini - Escape the trap the H.E.C.U set up for you. (The place with those closing walls)

#150

Maybe as I’m not a console games player but I don’t understand the number of achievements which are just for getting to X point in the game (albeit dressed up with a fancy name). The kill X number of Y etc I can just about understand but why have an achievement for something you have to do anyway? Getting there in the first place should be achievement enough.

#151

it’s called a trash compactor. but a good suggestion anyways

#152

Except that if you don’t do it, the game ends. So you have to do it anyway. Why have an achievement for it?

That’s like:

“Let’s get started!” - Start playing the game.

“Ammo refill!” - Reload after shooting.

“Who’s the sheriff now?!” - Pick up a shotgun.

You get the idea. Uuuuuseless achievements.

#153

Sadly nearly every game out has them, though.

like GTA 4 - “Fresh off the Boat” complete the first mission
or Battlefield: bad Company… where there’s a trophy for completing every mission.

#154

You need a few of these “useless” achievements to get newbies into the achievement system. New players won’t realize there are achievements until this pops up. And finishing the game with 0 achievements makes you sad. If you atleast get a few on the first run, then you might feel a bigger need to complete more.
It’s a marketing-ish strategy :stuck_out_tongue:

#156

Unforseen Falls
Die of fall damage while heading to a mission-critical location, such as a hole leading to a loading screen.

I need a better name and shortened discription.

#157

Ahem here I go to contribute;

Unforeseen ConseQuenches

  • Destroy the front panels of every (accessible) vending machine in the game.
#158

Pardon me, forgot to knock
Open every door in the game. (obviously, that can be opened. This includes lockers, toilet doors etc.)

I thought it might be a change of pace from all the “Go here” achievements.

#159

already said that. look back some pages.

Try to be more specific as to whom you are replying to. I assume it was the post directly above yours but…

Founded in 2004, Leakfree.org became one of the first online communities dedicated to Valve’s Source engine development. It is more famously known for the formation of Black Mesa: Source under the 'Leakfree Modification Team' handle in September 2004.
