10 Times Games Made Fun Of You (And Gave You An Achievement As A Reminder)

Games making fun of you for losing is not a new concept. However, what is an interesting spin on that tradition (in a mocking sort of way) is developers unlocking an easier difficulty through your constant failures and then rewarding you with an achievement so that everyone can see how much you struggle.

Which is exactly what happens in God of War.

The aptly named "Getting My Ass Kicked" trophy is a reward given to any player who unlocks the easiest difficulty in the game by dying five times in the same exact location.

The trophy's description even states that it's awarded for "dying enough times to get offered Easy mode," meaning that as soon as you get it, everyone on your friends list will know the game took pity on you and decided that playing on harder difficulties is just not for you.

It's already bad the game takes such direct notice of your failures, it's a whole other thing that it makes it very public knowledge.

But then again, if you are embarrassed about it, you can always just tell everyone you got the achievement on purpose by jumping off cliffs.

They'll definitely understand...
