Specially the ones where you have to find stuff.
I usually attempt and manage to get them without looking up any info, but other times I miss something and I don’t want to go thru the tedious process of re-combing whole sections of the levels, or even starting over, just to find some stupid note that I overlooked. Yet, I want the achievement, so I end up looking a guide and I feel like I haven’t truly earned the achievent.
Yes, I know that playing a videogame shouldn’t become a task and that I simply should play it the way I enjoy it the most, but I want too see what others think.
Obviously, it’s fun, but it depends highly on the game.
It was actually one of my bigger issues with FF7. You had to follow a guide very closely to get things done in that game. There was one moment where you had to trigger a cutscene, and then immediately stop and backtrack halfway around the world with no fast or convenient travel options, then go back to where you triggered the cutscene and go to the next screen to trigger the next cutscene. Nobody, anywhere, is going to do that without a guide.
