Top 10 Embarrassing Video Game Trophies & Achievements

Is there no limit to the shame? Apparently not! Welcome to WatchMojo, and today, we’re counting down our picks for the Top 20 Embarrassing Video Game Trophies & Achievements! For this list, we’re looking at some of the most shameful and humiliating trophies and achievements to stain our online gaming profiles.

“God of War Collection” (2009)

Top 10 Dumbest Achievements in Video Games

Part of the appeal with the “God of War” games is their relatively high difficulty; if you’re one of the few to pop the Platinum trophy for the first game on PS3, you have our utmost respect. However, we are aware of the embarrassment you must have endured in your first run. Assuming you’re the type to struggle with hack-&-slash games, you may have popped the trophy called “Getting My Ass Kicked”. Simply die enough times consecutively and the game offers to turn on Easy Mode for you. You can refuse it, but the trophy will tell the world of your struggles.

Leave it to Rockstar Games to create a world where you can live out some of your craziest fantasies - and your dumbest. Ever wanted to be a troublemaker and throw eggs at cars? Well, “Bully” lets you do that. You know what else “Bully” lets you do? Go around and make out with people! If you’re wanting to pop every achievement on the “Scholarship Edition”, you’ll need to kiss twenty-five girls for the “Casanova” achievement, but you’ll also need to kiss twenty guys for the “Over the Rainbow” achievement. Basically, you’re gonna make Jimmy a thirsty horndog! PlayStation users will only have to worry about “Casanova” as kissing guys was only implemented in the “Scholarship Edition”.

“MLB 15: The Show” (2015)

Top 10 Upcoming Video Game Movie and TV Show Adaptations

We’re all guilty of watching a sports game and having yelled at our TVs because a player did something stupid. Well, those who were aiming for platinum in “MLB 15: The Show” got to experience what it’s like to be on the other end of that situation. All you have to do is make the first pitch of the game and let the first batter run the bases and score. In other words, hold the ball and do nothing else! Just watch as you deliberately allow the AI to get a 1-point lead at the start of the game. Yep...totally doesn’t make you feel like trash! “Bruh” indeed.

“Duke Nukem Forever” (2011)

Also in:

Video Game Duel: Doomguy Vs Duke Nukem

“Duke Nukem Forever” wasn’t exactly one of the best games to come out of 2011. Its poor graphics, terrible level design, and abysmal failure to modernize “Duke Nukem” led many players back to the store to return their copies...unless you were one of the few who wanted all of the trophies or achievements. In that case, you should already be familiar with the “Turd Burglar” achievement, which requires you to pick up a piece of poo. Yep, just any old poo! It could be yours, or it somebody else’s poo. No one knows, and no one wants to know! Just grab your 10G or bronze trophy and continue your merry way! Sicko...

“Dead or Alive 4” (2005)

10 Video Game Characters Who Were DEAD The Whole Time

There’s nothing more satisfying than keeping a stellar win-loss ratio. It makes you feel like you know the ins and outs of your favorite game, and it justifies your bragging rights. Yet, when a game like “Dead or Alive 4” teases you with a “reward” to intentionally lose, the game is basically asking you to take the lesser of two evils. Do you maintain your impressive record and skip accomplishing all of the achievements, or do you take the twenty required losses like a boss and go for the completion, despite earning no Gamerscore? It’s a tormenting dilemma, and one that would stain anyone’s Xbox profile.

“Dead Rising 2: Off the Record” (2011)

Also in:

Another Top 10 HARDEST Video Game Achievements

If you’re looking for more achievements to degrade yourself, but want a bit of an extra challenge in doing so, “Dead Rising 2: Off the Record” has got you covered. The “Adult Content” achievement tasks you in taking a lewd photo that is worth over a thousand Prestige Points. How disgusting could a zombie game get? Well, on the bright side, it’s nothing too filthy, but you’ll have to take a photo of some suggestive looking merchandise in the appropriately named Uranus Zone. Hey, this achievement could have been a heck of a lot worse, but we’re still a little regretful of nabbing this “achievement”.

One of the most annoying things that can happen in online games is when someone decides to quit when you’re winning. If you were unlucky enough to play “FIFA 10”, there’s a huge chance some of the people who quit while you were winning were simply going for the “Bad Loser” achievement. To pop this achievement, you must forfeit five online matches when you’re losing. The devs were clearly aware how easy this would be to achieve as the achievement doesn’t net you any Gamerscore. So, is it really worth making yourself seem like a poor sport about losing? Mmmm, probably not.

“Call of Duty: World at War” (2008)

Also in:

Top 10 Video Game Events That Brought The World Together

We can’t blame video games for being addictive. Hey, if its a good game, we’d LOVE to spend hours upon hours playing it! That isn’t to say you should dedicate your whole life to it, and “Call of Duty: World at War” will remind you of that when you pop the “Go Get Some Sun” achievement. To earn this, you must reach your tenth prestige, which takes a heck of a long time to do. No joke, you’re looking at hundreds of hours of playing “Call of Duty”! At that point, it might be best to listen to the game and go live life for a bit. Besides, it doesn’t give you any Gamerscore!

One of the most annoying types of achievements are the ones that require you to push a button hundreds or thousands of times. Well, it’s a good thing “Command & Conquer 3” didn’t task you with anything like that! Oh, wait… It did. The “Welcome to 2047” achievement requires the player to press the A button a total of 2,047 times! Oh, and you have to do so in a single mission. While you are awarded with 20G for your Xbox profile, this achievement is so easy to nab, yet so time-consuming that it feels kind of humiliating. Think about it; you just spent ten whole minutes mashing a button for 20G! Was it worth it?

Dating sims can be pretty weird; they have a habit of throwing the player into bizarre and sometimes uncomfortable situations. So, what else could “HuniePop” be hiding besides a kinky fairy and buxom alien bounty hunter? Well, if you’re trying to 100% the game, not only are you going to have to sleep with everyone without failing, but you’ll also have to sleep with Momo. This young lady will refer to you as “Master” the whole time, making everything that much weirder. Oh, and she thinks she’s a cat. That’s kind of important ...Can we please move on?

“The Last Guardian” (2017)

Top 10 Scariest Mythological Video Game Bosses

While “The Last Guardian” didn’t set the world on fire, there were still a handful of players that enjoyed their time with Trico. Depending on who you ask, his AI was either a masterpiece or extremely frustrating. Anyways, those who stuck around and committed to popping the game’s Platinum trophy got to witness a truly unforgettable sight. One of the trophies you’ll need to achieve, “The Call of Nature”, requires you to watch Trico go to the bathroom. Because, you know, there’s nothing quite like watching your pet take a dump. And -adding insult to injury- it really took time and effort to catch Trico in the act. Hope that was a memory worth making!

“Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse” (2012)

Also in:

Top 20 Games Where You Can't Fight Back

This is“Family Guy” we’re talking about. Did anyone really expect them to NOT put a perverted and profane trophy in the game? In the level “No Cheese Please”, Stewie can enter a room containing a few cash bags. Typically, players would be quick to run in, grab the cash, and run out. However, they’ll be greeted with a little surprise - one Glen Quagmire handcuffed to a bed and dressed like a baby. Simply stand in this room for thirty seconds, and BAM! You’re a pervert! What makes this achievement worse is that the achievement’s icon is one creepy Herbert. Doesn’t help that “Back to the Multiverse” just wasn’t a good game to begin with.

It’s amazing that you can do just about anything you want in today’s games. For example, did you know that you can sleep with almost anybody you want in “Fable II”? Well, you can, and there’s an achievement for a horndog character like yours! All you have to do is make love twenty-five times...or commit voyeurism and watch another Hero do so. The only catch here is it cannot be a prostitute. (C’mon, guys. It’s “making love”.) Should your friends find this achievement on your profile, you have basically admitted that you went out of your way to experience virtual sex twenty-five times, all for a measly 10G. You proud of yourself?

As we’ve seen throughout the list, games will force players to do some of the creepiest, most perverted stuff to satisfy their completionist needs. We’re sure it’s all in good fun, but Platinum Games really pushed the envelope with “NieR: Automata”. In order to pop the trophy/achievement “What Are You Doing?”, you’ll have to attempt to look up 2B’s skirt ten times. With this achievement on your profile, everyone will know you tried getting a peek at an android’s underwear. Good luck explaining this to whoever catches you in the act! You are really going to need it!

Yeah, we’re not out of the woods just yet on the perverted achievements. In Chapter 10 of “Asura’s Wrath”, the titular protagonist will find himself at a hot spring with some very well-endowed attendants. One of them will come down to Asura to serve him some tea. So, what should you do? Drink the tea? Chug the tea? Splash the water a bit? How about stare at her chest until she realizes what's happening and covers herself up? Yep, that’ll do it! We’ll just tell everyone we only did this for the achievement. No way was it for anything else.

Yeah, we know that the “Guitar Hero” games didn’t really teach us how to play guitar, but it felt damn good pretending we were rock legends! Well, it did until “Guitar Hero II” reminded us of how much we really suck by giving us the “Long Road Ahead” achievement. Simply fail any song on the easiest difficulty, and you’ll be awarded 10G. As if intentionally failing on Easy wasn’t shameful enough, “Guitar Hero III” would include two achievements that required you to fail a single song ten times and another that required you to fail a song that was at least ninety percent complete. Thanks for the reality check, guys...

“Metal Gear Solid HD Collection” (2011)

The 10 WEIRDEST Moments in Metal Gear Solid Games

When the “Metal Gear Solid” games were remastered for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PS Vita, they came with an assortment of bizarre tasks to increase your Gamerscore or nab more PlayStation trophies, such as sending a lewd picture to Otacon. However, the most shameful one requires you to find a locker containing a poster of a lovely lady. View the poster in first-person, and then, call Otacon so he may see you in your perverted glory. Really, Snake, don’t you have more important things to take care of?

“South Park: The Stick of Truth” (2014)

Top 10 Funniest Video Game Side Missions

No, “South Park” didn’t rip off “Family Guy”. Whereas “Back to the Multiverse” required you to make an uncomfortable situation look worse, “The Stick of Truth” demands you to participate...more or less. In the segment where the New Kid chases the underpants gnomes, they’ll make their way into their parents’ bedroom and catch them…*ahem* in the act. Here’s the worst part of this - you must have your character facing towards them, and watch them have sex for sixty seconds. Ugh, we feel dirty just from describing this… Hope no one was around when you had to go through this segment.

“Lollipop Chainsaw” (2012)

Also in:

Lollipop Chainsaw: Everything You Should Know

“Lollipop Chainsaw” is one of the most insanely ridiculous games you could ever play. It knows its outrageous, and it indulges in its own absurdity. So, you could expect some occasional juvenile behavior such as Juliet telling the player not to use the camera to look up her skirt. Of course, that’s the first thing many players tried doing at the start of the game, and before they knew it--*achievement noise*. With an achievement like this on your profile, everyone knows that you deliberately tried seeing panties on a character model for 10G or a bronze trophy. Have you no decency?

“Yakuza 0” (2017)

Also in:

Every Yakuza Game Ranked

We thank you all for calling us out in the comments for this one as it definitely beats the rest of these trophies by a mile for most embarrassing! “Yakuza 0” provides plenty of options to kill time and deviate from the main story for a bit. You can play some old SEGA games, gamble, go to a telephone club... or watch some softcore porn. What's surprising is that there’s even an achievement attached to it! It even gives you the excuse we know you’ll tell everyone - I Did It For the Trophy. Go on, head to the video booth, and explain to everyone how you only did it for the trophy. We’ll all be listening!
