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

5. 20 Straight Losses In DOA Online - Dead Or Alive 4

Doing exactly what it says on the tin, to 'achieve' the "20 Straight Losses In DOA Online" trophy in Dead or Alive 4, you, well, need to get 20 straight losses in DOA Online.

I could finish this entry there, really, but I suppose there is a bit more to it than that. Fighting games usually aways have some kind of consolation prize for players (like me) who are terrible at online, because actually getting good at the multiplayer will see you lose time after time to other players who must be cheating, somehow.

This, though, is pure insult to injury. It's not just an achievement that tracks losses in general - that would be bad enough - but this kicks in the ribs of players who are truly already suffering through consecutive defeats.

20 losses in a row would turn everyone a bit loopy, and seeing the game mark your lowest moment might serve as the final straw that ruins your relationship with Dead or Alive for good.
