10 Video Game Achievements That Were Designed To Make You Feel Bad
4. Almost Got It (Guitar Hero III)
The Guitar Hero series has faded away now but was huge when it first came out, spawning a whole bunch of sequels and spin-offs. All around the world, players loved tapping away at the buttons on their plastic guitars and jamming along with classic rock tracks of the past.
One of the most frustrating Guitar Hero experiences was when you nearly managed to finish a song, only to fall at the final hurdle, and the third main game in the series, Guitar Hero III: Legends Of Rock, actually included an achievement for this, just to rub a little salt in your wounds.
The 'Almost Got It' achievement is handed out to players who make it past the 90% point of any song but still manage to fail before it finishes. The name of the achievement encourages you to keep going, but it really just felt frustrating to be given an award for messing up when you were so close to victory.
