Weird achievements/trophies
It might sound weird but I like achievement, they´re a good motivator for me to keep me interested in a game. Also there are achievements/trophies that help you discover new things about the game, for example a new skill/trick to help you in the game. Not all achievements/trophies are like that though, some are the typical level up achievements/trophies and others are beat the game at a certain difficulty achievements/trophies. Then you also have the dreaded multiplayer achievements/trophies, I don´t think many people like these type of achievements/trophies because you need others to get these. So when the multiplayer mode in a game is abandoned then you´ll never get the achievement/trophy! But there are more types of achievements/trophies, you also have the weird ones. These achievements/trophies you´d rather not have on your profile or they´re just weird to get.
It´s true, I peeked under her skirt! At least that´s what players will think when they see that you got the achievement/trophy to look under the skirt of Juliet in Lollipop Chainsaw. Ah the crazy things we do for an achievement/trophy. But it doesn´t always mean that you have to be a pervert, sometimes it means doing the opposite of what you´d probably should do. For example killing yourself, this seems weird but I´ve seen several games where you´re rewarded with an achievement/trophy when you do it. In Lego Lord of the Rings you jump in the lava with Isildur in the first level, in State of Decay you get torn apart by a group of zombies or you blow yourself up in a sea of flames to kill zombies and in GTA V you´re killed by a shark. It seems odd but these actions that mean game over, but in State of Decay it means that you have to play as another character, are actually rewarded with an achievement/trophy. My natural instincts tell me to survive, not to run into a group of zombies or look for a shark underwater! Maybe it´s a joke of the developers, to see how many people would do it just for the achievement/trophy. Sometimes achievements/trophies also point towards a movie, book or another game. In GTA V I´d say that getting killed by a shark refers to the movie Jaws, especially when you read the description of the achievement/trophy.
These type of achievements/trophies seem to be strangers between the serious ones, where you need to beat the game at a high difficulty or reach a high level (in single player and/or multiplayer). But I think they bring a bit of relaxation, it doesn´t all have to be difficult or crazy. For example Black Ops 2 zombie mode achievements/trophies are usually not that easy, some are even impossible to get solo. It´s nice to see something easy every now and then, I know they call it an achievement/trophy but that doesn´t mean you have to work your ass off to get one! In the end a game is meant to be fun, so making achievments/trophies difficult to get doesn´t really help you have fun with it. But making the achievement/trophy less serious already brings some relaxation in the process of getting it. So I´d definately welcome seeing more of these type of achievements/trophies in games!
