Trophies that make you do something that is counter intuitive. Like killing a boss without hitting its weak spot or something like that. 

I like those, they are more interesting than collection ones

Basically; anything which realistically requires me to follow a guide, which just kills the pacing of the game. Collection achievements can be forgiven if they tell you where they are roughly (like in AC II), and online ACHIEVEMENTS (I am less bothered by online trophies) as I cannot get them unless I pay extra


That might have been a bad example. I'm thinking TF2, where you have to ubercharge a scout as a medic and get 3 kills. NO ONE WOULD EVER WASTE AN UBER ON A SCOUT. Do get this achievement you basically have to say "fuck it, I don't want to win."


See, even that one is interesting because it forces you to play different ways.  In cases like that, it's not about winning, it's about actually having fun.

The rest of the team will probably very happy with your decision to be an achievement hound as they continue to run against a wall of sentries unubered and some invincible scout tries to bat down a heavy


And?

Some people like to be good teammates. You are apparently not one of them.

I like having fun at a game.  As long as you aren't being a troll and doing something the game wants you to do, like get achievements, there's really nothing wrong with that.

If I'm playing and I see someone doing that, I can either find another server or stop being a whiny bitch.  It's all about the simple solutions!

Guess the most are already mentioned.

Multiplayer, because only about half the userbase can get them (console with internet access), most of them are grindfests and some of them are really contra-productive for your team.

Collectables, though they can be fun if done right.
Example Bioshock 2: Find 100 audio diaries
- There are 128 in total, so you don't need a guide if you're carefully playing through the game
- They actually add something to the atmosphere of the game


I totally agree with this gentleman. I don't have anything else to add. Over.

Achievements/Trophies that require you to collect things. Most importantly, fighting games that require you to win an insurmountable amount of online matches (Marvel vs. Capcom 2, I'm looking at you)

I do prefer Trophies/Achievements that make you do several different playstyles or get a certain amount of kills/combos. Those are actually worthwhile.



This is the true definition of owning.

Online trophies are the worst.

Then comes the Complete the Game on hardest difficulty. Of Course I had no problem with playing Uncharted 2 or GOW III again on the hardest but some other games are tedious.

Doing things within a certain amount of time.

the worst of the worst are DLC trophies 



Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong

I hate the ones that are hard to get yet only yield a pathetic little bronze. You should be able to get all the bronze trophies by sleepwalking through the game, more or less.

I also hate the hidden trophies. Goddamit! how is one meant to know what to do to get the dang trophy? Either they require a totally anal geekzoid who plays every little nuance of the game to get it, meaning every normal person has to go on the webz to find out what to do (thank geekzoids), or they're auto-trophies that you get simply for getting through the game; wow big deal.

you know that they're meant to avoid spoilers when you read through the trophy/achievement list

Pretty much this. And the obvious online ones.



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...
