Bioshock was really only the second real game I've purchased for my 360, the first being Gears of War. Most of the time I hop on for a few minutes to play some XBLA.
Soon after I purchased Bioshock I played through the first act and then quit. Why?
Achievements.
I'm afraid that if I leave the first act I won't be able to come back. And then I'd have to play the whole darn game through again to get those achievements. Which I'd never do, I usually don't play games through even once, let alone twice.
So, easy problem, right? Except that there's one other thing I hate ...
FAQs.
Yeah, I know I could go to gamefaqs and find out how to get all the achievements. But why? Why is downloading a text file off the internet an intrinsic part of pretty much every console game?
I know this one too -- because some people (lousy
explorers) like finding all of this stuff on their own. That's great for you guys. But give the rest of us a chance? I'd even perform an annoying task in game for a map or something.
So, have lame achievements, FAQ-requiring or otherwise, ever made any of you quit a game?

That's as stupid as saying that you won't buy Braid because you went to a modern art museum and hated it.

You usually don't play through games once?
I think you need to find another hobby. Maybe you just don't like video games?
And WTF @ not playing because you won't get all the achievements. You're a terrible person.
Seems kinda silly and a waste of a good game to just stop because of the lack of an achievement or the need to use a FAQ.
You really shouldn't let ancilliaries like achievements effect your enjoying the actual game.
He has a valid point. If you care that much about achievements then just play through the game twice. And you can return to almost every area at any point in the game.
I love you too, you little huggy bear. And to call you a hypocrite, you've said almost exactly the same thing. In fact, I got the inspiration from that comment from you!
:D
You cuntbag. <3
What's up with the c-blog comments lately? Is digg down or something?
Oh, I certainly don't care enough to read your blogs. You don't inspire me in the least, I found that one comment amusing. You strike me as one of those girls who didn't get the right color Lamborghini for their sweet 16. Whine whine whine whine whine.
It's pathetic really, and simultaneously hilarious. How old are you? 10... 12?
:D
Ya I think Digg is down, your here, not there. It's really stupid to quit a game because of achievements. You should either quit games and life, or grow up.
For even thinking of not finishing a game because of the achievements, please go kill yourself.
