There are "impossible" Achievements, like making it out of Mass Effect 2 on Insanity with all crew mates alive and kicking, and then there are genuinely impossible Achievements, their Gamerscore riches put beyond mortal hands by some quirk of technology.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
Times are changing, and these games would have never been made in today's climate.
Every single time someone uses this phrase whether it's music, movies, books, comics, video games, etc it's always the same claim.
The ubiquitous "they" won't allow it to be made. And every decade these claims are made the claimant completely ignores all the "offensive" material that is published when the claim is made.
In ten years, you can write a new article about how you can't make games like Helldivers 2, Resident Evil VIII, Mortal Kombat I, Dragon's Dogma 2, Alan Wake 2 etc etc etc any more.
Dead Island: "The early PC version of the zombie game swapped the playable character Purna’s Gender Wars skill with a prototype name, which shouldn’t be mentioned directly. The skill name made fun of both Purna as a character and feminists."
"Feminist Whore" lmao
ill add one more to the list.
drakengard 1.
its ridiculous tho, especially since they'd still be able to find their place in alot of places in the world. except america of course ha. and maybe Australia.
ppl are so sensitive these days. ha. but it is what it is.
They're not offensive.
And we need another Fat Princess. Fantastic little game!
Some people just have no sense of humour if this sort of thing offends them. They need to lighten up and stop taking themselves so seriously.
After nearly three decades of NFS games, here's a list of the best Need For Speed titles that have ever been released in the past years, ranked by The Nerd Stash.
I have the strangest urge to go and attempt this Achievements now, despite the fact the article informed me that some of them can't actually be obtained.
I WILL FIND A WAY!
I just finished getting all the trophies in Crysis 2. There was one that required you to play online, then play online six months later. But it didn't unlock for me, or a ton of other people. Then for some reason it unlocked for a ton of people including me, on January 1st.
Then there was another trophy for unlocking all the weapons in multiplayer that glitches for a lot of people. And that was after they patched a problem that prevented you from getting unlock credits so you could actually unlock the weapons.
Funny that for a studio that could accomplish what they did with graphics, they couldn't get the achievements right.
The only one of those I've experienced is the Cars Race o Rama. Everyone I know was stuck at 900/1000.
rofl great list !
Good article, oxm.
