10 Insulting Video Game Achievements That 'Reward' You For Sucking

10. Our Little Secret - Prince Of Persia: The Forgotten Sands

We've done a couple of lists about how games mock players for playing on the easier modes before, and Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands is another great example.

These days, most releases will feature a little pop up if the player suffers too many deaths, recommending that they lower the difficulty to avoid the constant roadblocks. This suggestion alone is sometimes insulting enough though, and can actually encourage fans to keep going to prove they don't need the game's charity.

Admittedly though, occasionally taking the title's deal and cranking the difficulty down to easy can be the right move, as there's no point stubbornly carrying on if you're not having any fun.

However, The Forgotten Sands will recognise your decision to do this, and give you the "Our Little Secret" achievement for knocking the setting down for an easier time, just to let all your friends know you couldn't handle the challenge.
