The term Gamerscore has become a source of pride for many people who've been meticulously maintaining this metric ever since Xbox let players track their achievements in such a form. Given the loads of achievements that are present in most games, it's easy to see why so many Gamerscores reach astronomical heights and become a badge of honor for so many players who love achievement hunting in the games they love.
That being said, there are times when games troll players by adding useless achievements that add absolutely no Gamerscore whatsoever. More often than not, these achievements are awarded for poor play or questionable actions that the player carries out in the game. Here are some of the most notable achievements in gaming that reward players with the grand total of 0 Gamerscore.
10 Dragon Ball Master (Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot)
Most Xbox achievements with zero Gamerscore are the ones that indicate whether a gamer has attained all the other achievements in the game. As a result, most people don't care about the lack of Gamerscore since this fulfills the purpose of serving as bragging rights instead.
Such is the case in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, a game where players go through the entirety of the Dragon Ball saga while playing as their favorite characters. Suffice to say, this game is pretty enjoyable and rewards players for gaining all achievements with another one called Dragon Ball Master.
9 Gen 10 (Titanfall)
Leveling up generations in Titanfall takes a ton of time. Players need to sink in many hours in a game that didn't launch with the best reception either, showing just how rare this achievement really is.
Getting to Gen 10 is an arduous task that will take a long while to achieve. The fact that the reward for this is an achievement with 0 Gamerscore feels like a cruel mocking of a player's efforts.
8 Enjoying Your Stay? (State Of Decay 2)
State of Decay 2 is a pretty riveting survival game that is already pretty hard as is. However, if players up the difficulty, then they'll get to see just how brutal this game can really get.
Enjoying your Stay? is an achievement that players get when the survivors in their community die in either a Dread Zone or Nightmare Zone. It's a harrowing achievement that no player would want, especially when no Gamerscore is awarded for the same.
7 Unbeatable Fist (Street Fighter 4)
Street Fighter 4 is a game with a ton of achievements. Given the competitive nature of this title, it's only a given that securing all these achievements can be pretty grating indeed.
However, players who get all the achievements in the game earn the title of the Unbeatable Fist. It awards 0 Gamerscore, and mainly serves as bragging rights for players who've achieved everything possible in Street Fighter 4.
6 5 Straight Losses in DOA Online (Dead Or Alive 4)
Not all achievements have cryptic statements and headings that can make it pretty hard to decipher. Some, like this one from Dead or Alive 4, make the conditions pretty clear from the get-go.
Of course, the very idea of losing 5 times in a DoA online match can be pretty humiliating in its own right. This is perhaps why many people won't really appreciate having this achievement on their profile, especially when it has no Gamerscore either.
5 Pacifist (Cuphead)
Cuphead is one of the most challenging bullet-hell platformers ever made. The sheer amount of chaos on the screen means that players need to maintain an unwavering focus at all times while playing this game.
Pacifist is one of the achievements in this game that is downright impossible to get, forcing players to get through the entire game without beating a single enemy. It's easy to see why this is so hard, with Cuphead's relentless waves of foes making it nigh impossible to dodge all their moves without hitting back and negating the threat.
4 Bad Loser (FIFA 10)
No one likes a sore loser, especially when it comes to online gaming. Losing gracefully is a talent that a lot of players haven't mastered, especially when it comes to a game like FIFA.
FIFA 10 actually punishes players with an embarrassing "achievement" if they act like a sore loser too many times. This achievement comes when players Quit an online game while behind too many times.
3 If You Show Me Your Courage (Dragon Ball XenoVerse)
Dragon Ball XenoVerse is another great game that fans of the series can check out. The grinding in this game may be downright unforgivable at times, but XenoVerse still has many highlights, including a pretty riveting original story.
The achievement If You Show Me Your Courage is obtained after players unlock all the other achievements in the game. It might give no Gamerscore whatsoever, but the bragging rights more than make up for it.
2 Suicide King (F.E.A.R.: First Encounter Assault Recon)
F.E.A.R. is one of the greatest FPS titles that no one talks about right now. It's a shame since the AI and atmosphere of F.E.A.R. is truly one of a kind and still send shivers down the spine of most players to this day.
Suicide King is a pretty hilarious achievement that makes fun of a player who constantly kills themself with their own mistakes over and over again. It "rewards" playing for killing themselves a total of five times in either Campaign or Instant Action.
1 Welcome To The Big Leagues (Gears Of War 3)
Gears of War 3 is a pretty great game that many fans love to this day. The Gears of War series was at its very height when the third game came out, which was pretty engaging in its own right.
Welcome to the Big Leagues is an achievement that players get for participating in their very first Casual Versus multiplayer game. It's a small step towards the competitive Gears of War 3 multiplayer that was a blast in its own right.
