The Top 10 Most Frustrating Xbox LIVE Achievements
06. Gears of War / Gears of War 2 & 3
While this is technically more than one Achievement it is basically the same rage-inducing issue that is wrapped in a different package between the games in the series. The thing is that it keeps getting worse with each new title in the series (no LOL included).
With the first version the goal is 10K people in ranked versus matches - which is a major challenge for most gamers, particular considering the massive number of matches required. The second time around the goal is to kill 100K enemies, which you might think considering it lets you rack up that total in any mode would not be that big a deal, right? Except it is.
We can only imagine that, at first at least, the third example was received with something like relief - after all it could have been a million kills. But once you realize what it actually takes to earn every Onyx medal, it is pretty easy to start wishing it was 1-million kills!
Seriously (50G)Kill 10,000 people in versus ranked match total.
Seriously 2.0 (50G)
Kill 100,000 enemies (any mode).
Seriously 3.0 (100G)
Reach level 100 and earn every Onyx medal.
The first version was massively time and effort based, while the second was slightly less so, in that it could be unlocked in around 40 hours of play if, you know, they were seriously killing during that play. But the third?
Considering what you have to do to unlock a lot of those Onyx medals it may very well qualify as one of the Achievements that was never really intended to be unlocked by most gamers because most are never going to reach that point in play where it is unlocked. In comparison, it is significantly more difficult than the previous two.
