10 Challenges That Ruined Video Games
7. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots - The Legendary Hero
Before the release of the MGS HD collection and its trophies/achievements, fans were crying out for trophy support in Metal Gear Solid 4. Never mind that players had to start a new save to earn them, that wasn't the biggest hurdle.
Having to complete the game a minimum of eight times is.
Whilst there are some fun trophies to unlock, that I won't spoil, it makes it all for naught when you realise the biggest requirement: unlocking forty badges.
Some of which require beating the game on its highest difficulty, not killing anyone, that kind of insanity. In a Metal Gear game, no less.
Oh, and to really butter the crumpet, they don't stack. Hence the need to complete the main game eight times. Have you played MGS4? Some of those cutscenes are massive, let alone the loading times when you try and skip them.
"Not for the faint hearted" is an understatement. This one is for the flat-out masochists. Even I, a self-confessed Metal Gear fan, haven't even bothered with some of these.
It just doesn't look like fun.
