Honestly... how many MP achievements have you seen... across how many games... that were the exact same thing? "Kill this many with this weapon", "Kill this many in a row", etc... the achievements in MP are usually (not always) pretty mindless when it comes to their creation.
So you get the game based on how good campaign is, and not even taking online into consideration until you get the game and check it out yourself? CoD 4 story wasn't the most creative thing, it was fun yes .. but mostly everyone got it for it's MP. Yet all the achievements for it are single player .. basically forcing everyone who wants them to play it. You can see many games with those types of achievements in them. The developers want you to use different guns and explore in what's more of the MP then the typical weapons people use. It's not as much as creating achievements and having them be "creative" and "fun" but it's for people to see that there is more to the MP then what you typically rape with. Killing a some amount of people in a row, same achievement over and over again. It can't hurt anyone so i don't see a need to really complain about it. Easy achievement, well most of the time it is, and people like getting them. Creating achievements when they are creative .. most of the time are the easiest to get and thats where people start giving up in trying to get it thinking it's not worth it. I don't doubt that a lot of the time you take consideration in MP before you buy a game. Seeing how you don't buy a lot of games you rather just gamefly it, i can tell you like a game with good MP too seeing how you have CoD 4.

I'm going to take a picture of a Pikachu and make it my face... on my chick... LOL.

Blood - On COD4 I got that game for it's MP. COD games never have a strong story but they always have a great campaign though. I don't ignore MP... obviously I play it a lot on games with good MP. BUT I choose campaign over MP. There's more meat there. I love MP... but I can get one great MP game and not need another for a long time... AND just because I can... you suck, u smell like doody and I hate every game you like and MP is an epik phail.com. <--- my impression of everyone's favorite member.

I like achievements as long as they make sense. Why the hell do I need to bowl three strikes in a row in Grand Theft Auto IV? Why isn't there a "kill 1,000 people" achievement?

Difficult achievements are fine, I guess. As long as they aren't near-impossible.

^Doesn't matter, still can be talked in. I agree though, GTA IV has quite a few achievements are that stupid and then they have some which are good, and fun to get. They need to be creative when it comes to achievements, not stupid like "GET A TURKEY IN BOWLING WOOHOO!" That's dumb.

Its not the like the game is going to be thrashed because its achievements suck. That would be pathetic and stupid.

^Achievements are part of the game and a part of the 360 so they should be treated with the same care that the developers give to every other aspect of their game. I can honestly say that I get disappointed if a game has lame achievements.

Such as avatar....achievements where you get them as you beat the game is just......bad, or like when you level out your character in FF, no one has that much time to get all 1000

^I don't buy games for achievements... I rarely buy games at all. I'm just saying that they are a part of the game and I enjoy trying to earn cool, well thought out achievements. It adds another fun aspect to the game if done well.

Yeah, I mean if the achievements are good thats cool, thats a bonus for me. But I'm not gonna throw a fit and get disappointed if the achievements suck.

Achievements don't factor in game-buying decisions for me at all.
