Achievements hebben de manier van spelen op een console veranderd. Want deze kleine beloningen boosten een algemene gamers score die aan je GamerTag vast zit, en geven vele gamers een grotere uitdaging om de game te blijven (of opnieuw) spelen, en te laten zien wie er een echte doorzetter is.

Maar zoals de echte Achievement hoertjes al ik zelf maar al te goed weten, zijn er ook bitch ass Achievements die soms nergens op slaan of extreem veel tijd op eisen. Daarom heeft de website Toptenz deze top tien gemaakt met de meest vreselijke uitdagingen.

3. The Insanely Difficult

We've established that achievements are no fun unless you've actually achieved something, but achievements that are impossible for the average person are even worse. Sure, we want to be challenged, but we're playing video games, not performing open-heart surgery-so tone the pressure down a notch, OK?

Mega Man 10, for example, offers you 30 points for beating the entire game without taking any damage. NO damage. In a MEGA MAN GAME. That's like asking someone to win a boxing match against Manny Pacquiao without getting punched once. Or there's Call of Duty 4's infamous Mile High Club achievement-you need to beat a level designed solely to be infuriating on the hardest difficulty, and you only get 60 seconds to do it. With the amount of attempts it took some people, it would be less time-consuming to stop playing Marine, and actually become one.

Guitar Hero II and III show up in this category as well, as they both offer achievements for beating ridiculously challenging songs on the hardest difficulty. Some people even offer to unlock these achievements on your profile, for a price. Because if there's one thing even sadder than dedicating dozens of hours to mastering the virtual guitar, it's paying someone else to do it for you.
