8 Video Game Achievements You'll NEVER Unlock

3. Nice Shooting, Tex! - Ghostsbusters: The Video Game

Now at first the "Nice Shooting, Tex!" achievement might stick out like a bit of a sore thumb in this list of stone-cold killers of your confidence and social life, but while you theoretically can knock this out in a few hours doing so is going to require an intense amount of luck, skill and strangely restraint.

You see, this trophy goes against everything that has been hardcoded into players by the Ghostbusters franchise itself, namely that instead of being able to tear through levels with the Proton Pack, smashing ghosts through walls and covering the area in a thick coating of ectoplasm, here you are tasked with completing the entire game while causing less than $100,000 worth of damage to the environment.

Ok you might think to yourself, that's a fair amount of pocket change, so maybe I can be a bit reckless in my pursuit of poltergeists right? Wrong my friend, because when even scraping a car or a bus will set you back nearly $80,000 you basically have to have perfect aim consistently across the entire title.

And when you add in the fact that some enemies are frustrating damage sponges that just beg you to mash them into the floor over and over to shorten the fight, you're going to have to be a zen master in order to calmly and accurately lay these spirits to rest.
