8 Xbox Achievements That Drove Us Insane

5) Hard To The Core – Dead Space 2

Dead Space 2 is a punishingly hard game even on its standard difficulty settings, but playing the game on Zealot takes things to a new dimension of brutality. We mentioned before that a good achievement is one that is both challenging and entertaining, but anything that requires ridiculously long sittings of gameplay destroys any fun in their undertaking.

In Hard to The Core, players will only be allowed to save 3 times on Zealot difficulty. A random death can take you back hours of gameplay. You must be prepared to sit for 4-6 hour sessions at any one time, requiring super human levels of concentration.

Dead Space 2 is a great game, but this achievement will make you never want to play it ever again. That really isn’t the objective of achievements, is it?
