    You know what achievement can piss off and shove itself up a cockatoo's clunge? "Only a Flesh Wound" from Ninja Blade.

    It's not just that you have to complete a particular level with less than 1000 damage... in a game where your damage per level can easily reach into tens of thousands.

    And that the only weapon that can actually harm your opponent for half that level does damage to you if you have it equipped for too long at one time... or that your opponent can hit you with unblockable attacks...

    It's when you mess up and get hit on the most difficult part of the level, EVERY time you reset to the last checkpoint to try again, you have to sit through this UNSKIPPABLE BOLLOCK-ACHE of a five minute cut-scene with a dozen QTEs in it.

    So it turns out that you only needed to the last level of BC2 to get the achievement on hard
    But some of the names were awesome.

    yea, the driving achievements and the MP ones are about all that's left for me as well iirc.

    I stopped trying to do the races though because some of the tracks pretty much require you to run over people to complete them. In doing so, taking a hit your driving XP and it just wasn't fun doing it (at least to me). Driving through that shopping district and junk just felt bad. =\

    Crackdown 2! COMING SOON though, yay.

    The races in Crackdown are just a terrible thing anyway. Driving is pretty much only a matter of convenience, or for doing crazy jumps and stuff, the actual driving was ....not good.

    To have to do every race with every car is a fail.

    It turns out I was wrong. I actually got the racing achievement, and most of the driving ones. I didn't do the jumps though, going by my card. meh. almost makes me want to go back and try to finish it off.

    Hmmm. I don't think I'm going to hit my TA target of 75% completion by the 1st of June. If I hadn't picked up FFXIII I might have done it. Still, main story of that is done now, and there are about 8 or so achievements that'll be fairly easy to pick up in the end game, so after that I get back to replaying Dragon Age: Origins or ME2.

    I've got all but two achievements in Wolverine Origins now - all I have left is beat the game on Hard and collect all the dog tags. I only was missing like 5 dog tags, so rather than play through level by level to find the five of them, I'm just starting over on Hard and using a guide to collect all of them one by one.

    I had one of those unbelievably zen moments when I played through on Hard, and after taking DAYS to beat him on Normal was prepared for the worst.

    I beat him effortlessly, on my first try. I have no idea why or how.

    All I have now is all dog tags, and the combat multipliers ones. I am so pissed that I was stupid and need to grind those out on HARD to retain all my progress.

    There's a DLC for that? I don't think you'd get it though. Could be wrong, but offhand unlocking items via buy-cheats generally hasn't worked from my experience.

    Here's two older random forum posts that agree as far as the piano key:

    It's been about a year since I got all but those two achievements too so maybe I'll do that this weekend. Hard mode + dog tag guide.

    The Magic Sword/Final Fight game has some easy-ish achievements. It was a good excuse to get my roommate in to beat Magic Sword in an hour last night. We used more than 18 continues though... grumble.

    When I needed a break from the epic-ness of FFXIII and Just Cause 2, I played Rise of the Argonauts a week or so ago. It felt like an original XBOX game. It's worth a rental.

    more than likely you can

    the most recent similar case I can recall would be using the cheats to unlock all the cheats brick functionality in Lego Indy 2. You basically had to physically buy and pick up the bricks. I'd venture to say that similarly, it's not the unlocking of the music, but the actual possession of the item in question that would cause the achievo to pop.

    Knives are pretty easy, if you tend to throw a lot like I did then pickpocket every goon you see. Flags and Templars, though? Man, I don't think I'm going to bother.

    Finally dropped Lego Batman in the tray again because we were sitting for some friend's kids - it's not as disappointing as I remember, but still feel too burned out on the previous Lego achievements to even try hard on this one.

    This is where somebody points out that AC1 had those flags to intentionally waste the player's time. And some quote from a developer about how they think those sorts of things are stupid. Or something.

    But whatever, here are interactive maps that show where all the collectible stuff is in the first Assassin's Creed.


    And that one in AC2 after collecting all the feathers? Sucked.
