Why is Xmas Survival achievement forced on us?

[Mary Virgin]

Should not a gold medals in any play be enough? Seriously speaking survival achievements and leaderboards should not be there at all. Or like Fusion leave it optional.

My eyesight isn't what it used to be cannot handle too much strainous play anymore. This feels like a huge albatross after coming this far. Revolutions has been most unfun of all with tedious stupid grinds needed to get achievements more of a punishment.

no one forces you to go through all these achievements.

It becomes a compulsion if one is also achievement hunter. Survival & vs should be optional not compulsary. I am achievement hunter and it psyches me out. started some sessions years ago in love of game and some of the unlocked ones now irritated me no end so went all out. It shouyld be optional. Try any map get a gold done.

Bruh. Those achievement hunting. The least important thing when playing a game.
Let me remember...
Left 4 Dead 2 - 73/101 achievements, since I ignore all PvP gaming - the rest is vs-ones that I will not go for
L4D1 - 57/73 achievements, since not only I don't play vs, but game's difficulty balance is also tediously unfinished, so I didn't go for 58/73 either. In fact some achievs there just came with time.
Serious Sam 4 - all achievements, but idk why I did that. Would not go for it if it was now.
SS: Siberian Mayhem - almost half achievements, but game pissed me off for its heavy contrast to previous SS games in an unpleasant for me way.. Actually similar happened to SS4 and both uninstalled now.
Serious Sam 3 - most achievements, might get 7 more, but will ignore the PvP ones
Serious Sam Fusion - similarly to SS3
If the other SS games, incl. Revolution, have good balance and no vs-achievements, I might get all achievs. Otherwise - no. I had some bug issues in this edition, so if I get pissed off, I'll ignore achievements at some moments even if balance is good and no cr*p is around. Actually SS2, Kamikaze attack and hate-running-backward are all in the Ignore List, so nothing there for me to do. Personal preferences, partially. Never became a fanboy of any game in the world.
etc.
