I don't even mind the collectables achievements because it's still something I won't mind doing and it can brings you to a hidden bonus levels or ending or extra cutscenes etc.
Though for most popular games, the kind of achievements are almost always "get a certain score in a certain minigames" or "beat a certain boss in less than 1 minute" or "complete this game 6 times on each difficulty(who the FUCK got time for this?)" These for me are the kind of achievements that kills my mood to even master it.
Example is the Bully sets, there's only 1 achievement that is just impossible to achieve unless if you really want to spent hours just to get it. Basically you have to get to a score that is really hard to get in the shooting minigame at the carnival and it is really difficult. I hate that I've literally gotten all the other achievements EXCEPT that one and I couldn't master the game because of it. That 1 achievement doesn't even affect anything in the game so I just don't see the point of it.
