Achievements bugs?

So I was playing skate and working on unlocking a bunch of the achievements. Anyways, I finally get the one I am going for, but instead of the proper one unlocking, it unlocks a bunch of the multi player ones I didn't do, and doesn't give me the one it was supposed to... I just got my 360 like a couple of weeks ago, and I am curious if this type of thing is common or not. I am a fan of the whole achievements idea, so this was sort of a bummer. :|

    It was supposed to give me Master Flicker, but instead I got a bunch of those online ones (Icon Trickster, En Fuego!,Warming Up, etc).

    The same thing happened to me, skate unlocked a whole bunch of achievements for me at once.

    I can't remember what achievement I had gotten that triggered it, it occurred so long ago. But it has only happened to me with skate, so it's probably a game-specific glitch.

    I've only seen it in two games so far: Assassin's Creed and Guitar Hero III.

    In GH3 you can glitch the game and get Achievements you haven't done. I would hate this, but seriously, who the fuck wants to play the game with a standard controller to get it the legitimate way?

    In Assassin's Creed, I must have counter-killed 600 times and never got the 100 counter-kill Achievement.

    I got the 20 gold star achievement on GH3 and I never got even a single gold star song.

    I know there have been a few cases of impossible to get achievements, but those are usually patched (I believe I once heard that Microsoft requires that a developer patches the game if an achievement is bugged and you can't get it, though I don't know if there is any truth to that).
    I know there was a bugged achievement in PGR3 involving the online mode, but they patched it.

    As for just bugged out ones that you get for no reason, there's two in the Ninja Turtles arcade game. You're supposed to get one for falling in manholes 5 times, but the game just randomly gives it to you whenever it feels like it. The other is for beating the final boss without getting hit with the instant kill attack, but it almost never unlocks, until one day it randomly will.

    In Just Cause, if you fall outside the map (never happened to me though) all the collection achievements will unlock.

    Most random bug ever? O_o

    I got the full life bar achievement in assassin's creed when I was still short three or four bars. It gave it to me as I exited out of the game.

    There is some bug in Halo3 that gets you the used car salesman achevement for I think only blowing up a few ghosts in the 2nd campaign level, but I can't remember the exact glitch.

    Other than that, Have not heard of anything like that.

    An obvious one to me and my online friends was the Seriously... achievement in Gears of War. The achievement was to get 10,000 kills in online ranked matches which is a time consuming and in my opinion a bit silly of an achievement. The problem is a lot of people when getting 10,000 kills as counted by the game's own statistics the achievement may or may not unlock. Some people need an extra couple hundred or even up to a thousand more kills to get it while some other lucky people may get it while under 10,000 kills. Pretty crappy considering it's basically the ultimate achievement for Gears of War.

    As far as I remember, I think you just did the unlock everything cheat and then play La Grange as a certain character with a certain guitar. I hear it's been patched though.

    The only incident that I've had with achievements was when I played through Bioshock, got all the right achievements, but then resubscribed my gold live account, and lost them all.

    Not sure if I could've reported the error to Microsoft, but it's been to long to do so now, and I don't particularly care about my achievements anyhow.

    I had a Bioshock one where I KNOW that I got all the Power to the People weapon upgrades but didn't get the achievement for it. I didn't mind though since I had unlocked like 40 other achievements I played that game so much.

    Did you get the one in Cohens apartment. On two playthroughs I missed it, and kicked myself when I found out about the secret room it's in.

    Yeah I got ALL of them I even double-checked it against several FAQs and it still didn't give it to me. I even got the special photography achievement with Cohen if you let him live first time you meet him.

    In HL2:E2 the game would freeze and quit if I beat Dog in the race, that was very gay.
