What's the easiest way to take all the fun out of a game?


Add trophies to it.
And as if trophies in general don't suck all the fun right out of a game, add one in that requires you to kill 72,000 zombies in one playthrough, in a limited amount of time.
You may be thinking, "If they make you that miserable, just don't bother with the trophies." Sure, that makes sense. But my obsessive compulsive tendencies will not allow me to simply ignore them.
So when Capcom asks me to kill 72,000 zombies, rescue 50 survivors, consume all food items, enter every store and use/create all weapons...Of course I'm going to force myself to do it. And in doing so, I will kill ANY desire I had to play the game in the first place.
For the record, I'm on Day 2 and I've only killed 17,000+ zombies, so I think any hope Ihad of killing 72,000 zombies is officially dead. "Oh, I have an SUV, this is going to be SO easy!" Yeah. Right.
