If I can see a list of achievements in the game, then I'll try to accomplish some of them and it extends my enjoyment. If, however, I'm just running along and suddenly "Achievement Unlocked: I'm on a boat, motherfucker!" pops up because I finished by getting on a boat, and the same thing happens every level, then I get annoyed. An example of the former is Wii Sports Resort's stickers that you earn by, say, never missing a shot in archery or finding all the ducks in the pond and returning them to their mother. The Prince of Persia game where the Prince has a claw and flies through space on a woman's back is an example of the latter. Yep, I sure did finish the opening cutscene, game. Thanks for the 10 gamer points. Oh, I used the counter move? Another 10 points. Hey, I beat the first boss! Pop! Gamer points. It felt like the game was making fun of me, like I should feel accomplished for going through the basic gameplay.
