RUMORTOID: Achievements for Xbox 360 version of GTA IV leaked? photo
It was only yesterday that everyone was talking about Sony's downplaying of the Xbox 360's episodic content  for GTA IV, and the common theme that kept cropping up in the story's comments was achievement points. Apparently they make a difference.

As you know, the Xbox 360's got them, and when combined with the extra content that Microsoft supposedly spared no expense on, we now know that (at least to those who stopped by to comment on our blog) the Xbox 360 is the hometown favorite. Thanks to a couple of tipsters, that complete list of achievements is just a click away....or is it? Nothing's official yet, so don't get your panties in a wad over them, if they turn out to be fake. We just post what people send us. Anyway, the goodies can be found after the jump, as well as the photo gallery. Spoilers abound, so don't let it be said that the robot didn't at least warn you. It's how we roll.

Boooo for multiplayer achievements.

@Elitechief27 That one is probably viral, meaning you don't have actually kill a developer, just someone who already has that achievement.

People care about Achievement points? "I feel sorry for your mother" (more San Andreas appropriate?)

Now, I like achievement goals. It gives you something extra to strive for in a game, but screw the little point system. That's kind of pathetic. So really, there's nothing being done with these achievements that Rockstar can't just turn right around and put on PS3 and work just as well (like other games have done recently).

That said, I'm buying the 360 version but that's a choice I made a long time ago when I sold my PS2 versions for Xbox 1 versions of GTA3, VC, and SA. Better to have them all on the same platform :)

Actually tgammet it was "I feel sorry for your father", which I believe is a refference to some hood movie where a joke is that a guy has a short dad. Yeah, something.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaanyway, is the spoiler warning really a neccesity here? Is anybody shocked that you will kill guys, sometimes using pistols, in GTA 4? Did somebody think that perhaps this will be the first game where the objective is to not complete it?

Spoiler warning:
Niko kills Aeris.

Considering that this site is mostly Xbox fans, this comment really doesn't hold any weight.......

Half of the achievements look real, especially the "warm coffee". Either way GTA4 will kick ass no matter what, I pre-ordered the limited edition yesterday.

Just making sure. Nothing makes gamers cranky faster than spoilers, even if some could be viewed as obvious.

Yes there are plenty of Xbox fans here, but we have a pretty healthy PS3 clan too. Stick around for a while, and you'll see it.

I am kind of disappointed with the achivements. Don't get me wrong warm coffe is hilarious. Were are thereally fun achivements. Like kill someone and make there body fall 10,000 feet, kill 1,000,000 people total,kill 1000 people using explosives. Anyway the game will still be awsome.

Its not just that theres allot of Xbox fans here, theres just allot of people with the xbox360 period. In a perfect world everyone would have both consoles by now.

I really don't care about achievements in my GTA, the game stands well on its own. I'm just happy its coming out for the only console I own at the moment.

@kingme

And I suppose you're a PS3 fan?

Well, there's a good number of people here who have more than one console, we're game fans, informally.

Take your biased ass over to the Playstation forums and cry your heart out over there.

I know of about 5 people on this site who are getting the PS3 version ON THIS SITE, so your whiny comment doesn't hold any weight.

I appreciate Rockstar's humor has even made its way into the achievements titles. Classic.

I, like turtule soup, am a little upset they are sort of generic, though. I was expecting "jump from the tallest building" or "kill 3 dozen pedestrians in [x amount of time]" and stuff like that. Seeing as how most people end up playing GTA simply to dick around, I thought the achievements would reflect that.

Oh well. It'll still be amazing and there's nothing that'll stop me from creating my own little goals while I play, especially with friends online.

Anyone else think of just how fun having 16 people in the city with you will be? How many meta games you can create? Shit. I just got a boner.

hummm i d'like to agree with on this ... but i don't. many here are 360 fanboys who don't have a fair opinion .... because i ask for fair opinion about the PS3 people think i'm a PS3 fanboy loll but i do own all 3 consoles ... not the case for everybody here !

@fetusmilk "who cares about achievements"

Pretty much a LOT of people care about achievements. I am by all means a normal(read: hardcore) gamer. I know the points cant buy me anything but they are fuck as hell to unlock and compare with your friends. It's not an e-Penis contest because the top 5% of Gamerscores were hacked anyways, so it's a nice little extra that is influential enough to push sales over, say, another console that doesnt have them. Which is why Sony is "borrowing the Achievement system for PS3.

Also: What makes all the gaming blogs think these achievements are FAKE? If you look at the recently released screenshots of GTAIV multiplayer, you see two "players" with the names RS NYC 1 and RS NYC2. What's to stop anyone from going on XBox.com and looking them up for their achievements? Any time you pop in a 360 disc you can see all the achievements in the game(unless theyre secret) and so can anyone who looks up your profile.

It's probably like Burnout: Paradise(in that game, every street had a pre-set time you had to beat) I imagine.

I can see they're expecting at least two playthroughs for this game, because I can't see anyone trying to rush through the story missions within 30 hours the first time they play.

@ Turtule Soup

"kill 1,000,000 people total" I assume you were a fan of Perfect Dark Zero's endless grinding achievements? 1,000,000 is far too high a number for it to still be fun. The only reason Dead Rising's Zombie Genocider achievement was alright was because you could take a few cars and kill about 1,000 zombies before they broke down.

Me too.

When did Dtoid become "Xbox fans"? I feel like we've been getting this a lot. I feel like everyone here is just a fan of games and it just so happens that the 360 has had the greater quantity of good games over the last couple years. I don't think there's a single person on this site that would turn their nose up at a PS3 though.
