4. The Six Pack - Alien Vs. Predator
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLVE_4MzwQQ Its hard enough getting six friends to play an online match at the same time even with a great game, yet somehow the developers of Aliens Vs. Predator were arrogant enough to think that theyd not only sell enough copies of their game for the average player to have another six friends with it, but its buyers would also be playing it so much itd be completely reasonable to get them all online and in a match at the same time. In the unlikely situation someone knows enough people stupid enough to buy this mediocre game, arranging the nerd jamboree required to get the trophy would need more organising and constant communication than an Alzheimers anonymous meeting booked a month in advance. Nobody wants to put that much effort into a game outside of the time theyre playing it, particularly with a title as forgettable as this one. There are ways round it of course, perhaps you could temporarily add some random people you played a match with and then try to coax them into another one (assuming theyre willing to friend you), but that kinda takes away the whole point of the thing. Im sure there is someone out there whos put the effort in to get this trophy (and try to convince themself they really do have six friends), but considering how completely meaningless it is and how little skill one needs to be to get it, why bother?
