10 Xbox Achievements That Were Actually Stupidly Satisfying

4. The First One's Free!/The Second One Is Also Free... - Deadpool

There's plenty of characters in various comic book universes known for their wit but none come close to the sheer insane hilarity of Deadpool. The X-Men film series was not kind to the character (thanks a lot, Ryan Reynolds) so you may have approached the idea of a Deadpool game with a little caution.

No worries were necessary. Not only is Deadpool a great game with decent brawler gameplay and gunplay, it's also one of the funniest games ever created. The script is full of little nods to comic book and video game history and Deadpool's constant off-the-wall lines make for entertaining viewing constantly.

This clever but bonkers game also made for some great achievements. Several games have rewarded players for doing next to nothing before (The Simpsons Game's Press Start To Play is pretty infamous; it rewards you for starting the game) but Deadpool actually makes a great reference to it right at the beginning of his game.

Pulling Deadpool out of his armchair will result in the first Achievement of the game popping €“ The First One's Free! (literally). Deadpool references the pop and remarks €œBut I haven't even accomplished anything yet!€ before a second Achievement pops (The Second One Is Also Free...) with Deadpool's quip: €œ...And there's another one.€ It's a great moment that immediately establishes this game as a non-stop hilarious ride.

I have an addiction to achievements, a craving for new bands and a dream to become Captain America. I once finished second in a Mario Kart 7 tournament so I'm kind of a big deal.
