  It’s even worse when an Achievement pops up across the bottom of screen at just the right moment to cover a text block you need to read or a button prompt that makes you die because you didn’t press it.

  In TF2, there’s an achievement you get by being healed by an enemy medic as a disguised spy, and whenever you get an achievement, it is announced in chat and a big trophy pops above your head, even if you are disguised, which blows your cover. It only happens once per account, but it’s still gonna be annoying for new players who just got a hang of acting and just got their cover blown by an achievement

  One that bugs me to no end is the dreaded &quot;Secret/Hidden&quot; achievements that encourage you to simply keep playing to unlock them. I understand the story spoiler ones where developers want them to remain hidden, but some games I have played have almost every achievement hidden with their requirements being things like &quot;jump on the bed 20 times&quot;.

  As a person with crippling anxiety, multiplayer trophies can rot in a pit.

  A frequent one on Playstation is when it captures the screenshot of the moment you got the trophy, but after the screen has already gone black from the cutscene back into the game. I think half of my Arkham trophies have black screenshots attached to them. 😂

  Achievements that involve replaying a level over and over again to get something specific and entirely dependent on the RNG gods to happen.

  I used to hate the achievements linked to online play, I&apos;m sitting at home playing this game alone because I specifically don&apos;t want to interact with people!

  When you have all the achievements and it gets ruined by a DLC.
