My gripe is they are in every game. I'd prefer them to be limited to games that suit them, such as sports, etc. Or if they must be mandatory then in pure single player games they should arise naturally from the gameplay.
For example the achievement in AC : Brotherhood for jumping on a beam from a horse is pure horseshit. They game never really needs that mechanic and it doesn't arise naturally - I can only presume that the points whores take time to find a beam and jump up and down on it until they get the Trophy/Achievement.
I would also like the option to surpress their notification. I don't think it should be taken away as choice is good but I want the choice to do so. I find it very off putting in most games I play to have a notification pop up. I tend to play offline games that are story driven - and it breaks immersion. I hate the idea, as an example, that while playing something like The Last Guardian a little sound will ding and I'll be notified I've just fed my creature it's thirtieth barrel of food.
To be honest I do think some games - Heavy Rain, The Last Guardin, ICO come to mind - don't suit them at all and here I fully get where Nintendo are coming from. For the sake of compliance that all titles need them with these titles they're bolted on where they simply don't fit.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
