6. Get Over Yourselves - 'Spolsion Man
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6HjNkMOLXI Okay, so maybe Splosion Man isnt the only game to adopt the "Watch the Credits Until the End"achievement shtick, but I had to make an example of one of them. It could be argued that it serves the gratuitous purpose of forcing players to appreciate the people involved in the games production, yet that point falls flat on its face when you realise the credits being on the screen doesnt really mean theyre being watched. Well this is pretty boring, so lets explain why its pointless quickly and move on. The people who care about those involved in making the game will watch the credits, those who dont wont, its as simple as that. It adds no challenge, no interest, no purpose, and if the only reason its there is to force people into staring at a never-ending string of names then they might as well use the Ubisoft trick of making them unskipable, that way at least it doesnt feel like were being tricked into it.
