10 Video Game Achievements You DON'T Want To Get

Google, How To Delete Game History From Profile.

Is there anything more satisfying than that sweet musical chime that hits each and every time you pop a video game Achievement or Trophy? It's like a firm pat on the back by the devs that says "Jeez I can't believe you did X, well-done mate, that's going on the fridge" and them actually meaning it.

And from a gameplay perspective, the concept of rewarding players in such fashion has actually had quite a knock-on effect; No longer could you just claim to have beaten God himself on Tekken, as now it was a simple case of calling out those playground liars with a simple "well let's see your Trophy list then".

However, before you pull out your roster of rewards, maybe you should have a quick scour to make sure that there aren't any blemishes you'd rather say hidden, as sometimes video game developers just love to use the medium of achievements to mock the ever-loving hell out of their players.

From chastising those who try to oogle their characters to pointing and laughing at those getting their ass handed to them, achievements are both a blessing and a curse, and might even leave you wishing you could scrub your profile clean.

10. 20 Straight Losses - Dead Or Alive 4

As the name suggests, this is not exactly the achievement you'd want emblazoned on your gamer profile if you like fighting games. For some reason, the Team Ninja devs included this in the almighty Dead Or Alive 4 tropy roster and acted as sort of public shaming for thoses unable to land hits and cut the mustard online.

C'mon guys, wasn't it enough to embarrass most of your audience with those Xtreme Beach Volleyball video games? You had to add this to the mix as well?

Online sections of fighting games are a shark tank in their most tame versions, so imagine if someone caught wind of you having this on your profile? It'd be like someone throwing salt in your eyes after kicking your ass.....twenty times. Maybe it's time to hang up the gloves?
