My biggest gripe on achievements I suppose, would be the ones for finishing a level on each difficulty. This is fine, if you're playing on the hardest level and finishing that level unlocks the lower achievements also, but if they don't do this, i feel cheated, as I am not going to do a playthrough again on a lower level, for a lower amount of achievement points!

GOW2 :mad: Course you.

no i'm not an achievement whore. i'd only really collect achievements if it's already part of the main story. some of them i might replay the game over to complete them for fun (like only using one bullet in one of the Half Life episodes) or if it's a really hard challenge.

I just finished HalfLife2 tonight and I'm going for the one bullet achievement next!

I like achievements that challenge you to do something differently but online they are just encouraging boosting

What you mean by that? The difficulty achievements in Gears 2 are stackable.

The hardest difficulty is unlocked after completing it once already.

So I'm cursing the fact that you must play it twice.

And yeah. Boosting sucks!

Ah right. Didn't remember that. I did it once by myself and my insane run in co-op.

I'll keep it in mind.

I'm playing Dragon Age at the moment, and it's interesting to see that I'll never achieve full marks. I tend to make choices and stick with them, and there's a lot of "choose this side" etc. That's grand, on a second play through, i may play it differently.
Thing is though, in these character based story games, I play the character as close to my own personality as possible. Therefore, making out with any of the male characters is never going to happen, as I wouldn't do it in real life. Any of you guys done it just for the achievements? I'd feel like they were cheap achievements and I'd betrayed my playing style if I went after those.

I see your point and I play like that also, but there is also a big level of fun for me going the evil route on my 2nd play though, and yes I kissed the boys in dragon age. I got most of the achievements from 1 play. I was clever with saves and played as a female character. I do need to go back and play through the start and glitch 2 more classes to level 20 (one of the rare times I condone this as its boring to have to do this 6 times) and kiss Morrigan, she would not lez out with a female character :mad: I was able to bed all the others with my super sexy fem fatal

When I play games where your character's physical abilities and looks are customisable I do tend to copy myself.

And then there are other times when you just feel like saying "heck, its just a game." You don't have to be yourself all the time.

Sidenote - No matter how brave I'm feeling in video games I never make out with lads.
