15 Disturbing Video Game Achievements You Should Be Ashamed Of

13. Ow, My Balls (Saints Row: The Third)

A simple achievement when it comes down to it, you can probably guess how players went about unlocking the “Ow My Balls” trophy when Saints Row: The Third hit consoles.

However, for as terrible as going around an open world sandbox exclusively out to punch dudes in their nether regions may be, it gets even worse when you realise that just a quick shot to some guys junk won't suffice for this achievement, but you have to actually punch an innocent NPC in the balls until they die.

It all feels a bit more extreme with that last part. Just think about it for a second, you just punched someone so hard between the legs that they died from it, accomplishing an act of “testicle manslaughter” as the game likes to call it. Anyone with this achievement probably loved a certain torture scene in Casino Royale.
