Anyone else find it a bit odd that Sunset Overdrives achievements look... so plain, boring, uninspired?

I mean the game itself looks extremely fun and creative, I just find it rather strange.

Agreed. One of the first things I noticed. Kill x enemy x many times, etc. 

Expected better from Insomniac. Ratchet and Clank games had skill points for trophies, and story related, some unique ones as well. 

Will still do the most I can from it though.

Yeah I thought it was an alright list at first but it's 99% is like Kill this, upgrade that, survive this, collect this, etc.

There's a few creative and fun looking ones, what also kills me is that the achievement pics are SOOOOOOO lazy, it's basically the same pic with different color and pattern variations. Wtf is up with that?

Do you mean the artwork, the names, or the completion requirements? If you're referring to the art, I think that's placeholder, or at least I hope it is. If you're referring to the names, I think they chose some good names personally, they're as good as Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel imo and better than many of the other October releases. If you're referring to the unlock requirements, they are kind of boring, none seem particularly challenging or fun to unlock. In comparison Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel has an achievement where you have to do a 360 no-scope while in the air before touching the ground, pretty darn cool imo, even if the reduced gravity on the moon will likely make it easier than it sounds like it would be. 

More talking about the requirements and pics. I really hope the pics are placeholders, I've never seen a game's achievements get revealed with placeholders though.

Titles are pretty boring (not bad, not good), the "I should get paid for this" is kind of fun. Haven't seen Borderland's yet.

Rayman Legends achievements on the Xbox One were all the same... was really lazy and also annoying

So... Shadow of Mordor is getting a 1080p patch post launch.
Really wish I hadn't cancelled my pre-order :(

Lesson learned: Don't cancel you pre-order over something so stupid. Maybe next time I'll learn.

What ppl should ask is if the game is broken? The graphics are not going to be ridiculously ugly like some make them out to be. It'd seem like the xbox is packing Genesis/Super Nintendo power the way ppl act.

Yup. I'm on a strict 1080p diet right now; my body is a temple (a 1080p temple) ;) 

Anything less, I deem imferior and not worth my time  

Edit: Hopefully no one takes this seriously, but this is a joke...
Bought the game with Forza this past Tuesday on Xbox Juan. :)
