Game developers occasionally run into the issue of not having enough achievements or trophies for the player to earn during the game. Thus, they come up with the most ridiculous, unrelated, and pointless achievements known to gamers: collectibles. Hunting down flags is NOT fun.

There’s nothing worse for an achievement or trophy whore than when a game decides it’s a good idea to have some ridiculous type of collectible within the game as an achievement. You know the type; those ridiculous pieces of paraphernalia that mean absolutely nothing to gameplay, storyline, or character development.

    The exact same thing happened to me which is why I still haven't finished Assassin's Creed. I'm pretty sure one of the flags is bugged and sometimes just isn't in the game.

    He should have played Devil May Cry 4.

    Now there is a game with the most annoying, pathetic waste of space acheivements out.

    A game whose achievements are so bad the person responsible should be shot.
