10 Video Game Achievements You DON'T Want To Get In the gaming world, achievements are often a point of pride, signaling skill or dedication. However, there are some achievements that can be downright humiliating. A recent video from WhatCulture Gaming dives into the ten video game achievements you definitely don't want to earn, and it's a fascinating look at how developers sometimes use humor to call out player failures.
Overview of the Video Content
The video begins with the familiar thrill of unlocking achievements, but quickly pivots to highlight the more embarrassing ones. From public shaming trophies to those that poke fun at your gaming skills, each listed achievement serves as a reminder of the missteps gamers can take. Here’s a breakdown of some of the particularly cringe-worthy achievements discussed:- 20 Straight Losses (Dead or Alive 4) - This achievement highlights the player's inability to secure a win in a competitive setting, nearly branding them as the worst fighter online.
- Who Throws a Shoe? (GoldenEye Source) - Designed for players who choose the notoriously overpowered character Odd Job and still manage to come last, it serves as a reminder that skill matters more than advantages.
- The Feckless (Warhammer Online) - Earned by dying a staggering 100,000 times, this title is more of a badge of shame than honor.
- At Least You're Good at Something (Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris) - If you happen to die the most in a co-op session, this achievement becomes a testament to your incompetence.
- I Did It By Accident, I Swear (Lollipop Chainsaw) - This outrageous achievement pokes fun at players who try to look up their character's skirt, emphasizing the often ridiculous lengths players will go for achievements.
- Almost Got It (Guitar Hero 3) - For getting 90% through a song only to fail, this acknowledgment is both a reminder of your near success and a hard blow to the ego.
- We Return to Worms of the Earth (Darkest Dungeon) - Dying in such a trivial manner—like to a lowly maggot—is a humbling experience immortalized in achievement form.
- Shameful (2010 FIFA World Cup) - This achievement outright brands players who quit matches while losing, marking them as poor sports.
- What Are The Buttons? (Golden Axe) - Mistakenly using resources when no enemies are on-screen results in a snazzy trophy mocking your ineptitude.
- Try a Tutorial (Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-Earth 2) - This ironically named achievement is earned by losing to a significantly lower-leveled player, highlighting your lack of skill in a cheeky way.
