Why are these lame? I think they sound awesome. I love Rockstar's achievements. These remind me a lot of Bully's achievements.

"Liberty City Minute 30G
Complete the story missions in less than 30 hours."

Definitely not liking that one. 30 hours is not enough to fully enjoy GTA IV in my opinion.

Why are so many people bashing the Liberty Key Minute achievement? No one said you have to get this the first time you play through the game.

IMO it's the exact same as having achievements that require you to play numerous difficulties without the difficulties stacking. *shrug*

Nevermind, just re-read where I read that originally - no mention of achievements, just a "1 of 100 flying rats" pop-up

People need to stop jumping to conclusions on everything.

There is no way in hell these are the actual achievement descriptions. You can tell by the weird grammar, a lot of them don't make sense, and are way too close to prior games.

Wait for the actual descriptions, then make your lame comments. :)

....For fuck sake. These better not be the real ones, some of us enjoy maxing out games and with retarded achievements like that it's just not ever possible, ruins part of the game for me. I'd hope it's at least like the virus achievos, it spreads from player to player.

Curse this no edit ijust noticed this:

"Warm Coffee 5G

Didn't R* already say the crappy stats you had to build up in GTASA including getting a girlfriend wont be in IV? Or did i dream that?

"Unlock the special ability of helicopter."

"After meeting all possible friends, the ones left alive all like you above 90%."

"Unlock the special ability of buying guns from a friend."

"Win a ranked multiplayer race without damaging your vehicle too much and with damaged enabled."


And people actually think that these supposed 'leaked' descriptions posted by some random forum poster could possibly be legit? I'm pretty sure Rockstar knows English at the least.

Most of the descriptions look like they were written by those guys that write spam emails, clearly not native english speakers.

Many others don't make sense, like this one:
"Complete a taxi ride without skipping from one island to another."

Consider this rumor debunked.

My comment got deleted too.

I kind of like the Rockstar one. In a way it's so exclusive it becomes sort of like the Recon armor in Halo.

With this and the Key to the City debacle it makes me think a new type of achievement that doesn't factor into the overall total wouldn't be so bad. So say you didn't have the achievement, you can still max out your points. These could be sort of like "awards" given out for things.

My problem is it's not really..an achievement as such more of a "good job! YOU GOT LUCKY!" thing, i didn't like Halos because of the luck elements.

It wont ruin GTA for me, I've owned every GTA game to exist with the acception of the PSP ones but i do not like it when Devs do this, it isn't very fair on us achievo whores. :P

The devs didn't do this. These descriptions are just made up by some random guy. What the hell do you not understand about that? Just like your posts about Fable 2 co-op and many of your other comments. Always completely senseless, ignorant, and pessimistic. You'd be better off posting on GameTrailers forums, X3F has very high standards that you simply do not meet good sir.

"Genetically Superior 25G

This one sounds like "Hot Coffee" all over again. Is this some kind of prostitute train race? If these are real, the person who re-wrote them needs some reading glasses!

SadisticHam's comment was hardly pessimistic and I can totally understand wanting sensible achievements that can be pulled off if you have the skill rather than if you're in the right time at the right place.

Wanting to complete a game 100% is hardly the mark of an achievement whore (having Avatar The Last Airbender on your played games list is). I can see wanting to add in those sort of achievements that are like prizes for "being the first 10 to fully complete the game" or "kill a Rockstar employee" or anything of the sort but when they prevent you from being able to finish a game in its entirety, it does kind of ruin the experience a small bit.

Oh PerfectStrategy, it's nice that you think you have to force your opinions on me, because you think there made up everyone else here has to agree with you?

Your "proof" is just like this list not at all 100% fact, when you can get past your own ego to see it from both sides perhaps you'll realize that. For now I'll take it as the list is real, because i have very little reason to believe otherwise and comment on it so, because you know, that's why these articles have a comments section to *discuss* the topic at hand.

Not ram your own opinion down others throats in a sad attempt at feeling important.

As for your standards remark, theres that self absorbed ego again. Do you work for X3F? What is your connection with X3F? It must be something rather important for you to dictate to me what standards are acceptable, or perhaps i don't meet your standards, is that what you meant to say?

How about you stick to the topic and stop talking out your ass. (y)

You guys realize the "let Rockstars Lie" one is a Viral achievement meaning that by beating someone who has it you'll get the achievement, right?

meh, achievements are lame...if and I'm sure it will have cheats, which is the best way to play it, you cannot cheat and still get these which is why I'm buying it on PS3. I will not pay $60 for one of the best cheat franchise games ever created and then not cheat. Screw that.

You can most likely cheat, but achievements would probably be disabled.

You don't have to play the first time in 30 hours. Finish it at your own pace the first time. Go for the Acheivement the next time.

Rofl, so for the sake of a VIRAL achievement (if this is indeed true), and missing out on a whole 10 points, you'll get it on the PS3? I guess the exclusive episodic content (which is apparently significant in content) means nothing to you? Don't forget, they'll come with some new achievements as well, if you're an achievement whore.

And not getting the game because you wont be able to obtain the achievements while having cheats activated? Well, let me just enlighten you - you wont be able to obtain any achievements on the PS3 version regardless.

But what is with the bad grammar? "Unlock the special ability of taxi"? They're going for all out immersion with the Eastern-European vibe aren't they?
