Achievements?

[naturon]

Terrible idea. Most "achievements" are nothing more than passing events, and you can get most of them just by playing through the main game once.

So they shouldn't include achievements because other developers are lazy?

The people over at Frictional Games especially Thomas are very adamant regarding their beliefs that video games have the potential to become something transcendent and yet that potential is wasted in lieu of something more gameplay-oriented and entertaining. Tell me, how would a horror-puzzle game (presumably) incorporate achievements as an integral and useful part of the game?
