Well, rather than a single big release, it looks as though the GTA IV achievements are going to get leaked in parts. First there was the reference-filled list of achievement names, now the guys over at xbox360achievements.org have gotten their hands on the point values and requirements for the list. A poster on their forums provided the list and so these descriptions and point values should be taken with a grain of salt. But really, you can look over the list for yourself and see whether or not the descriptions make sense with the names and values. Whatever the case may be, the achievements are spread rather wide and cover everything from mini-games and story progress to more arcade-esque survival challenges. As the release date of April 29th approaches, the hype for this thing just continues to grow and grow, and from a glance at the achievements it looks like this could actually live up its hype.
Full list with descriptions and point values after the break.

Why are these lame? I think they sound awesome. I love Rockstar's achievements. These remind me a lot of Bully's achievements.

Definitely not liking that one. 30 hours is not enough to fully enjoy GTA IV in my opinion.

Why are so many people bashing the Liberty Key Minute achievement? No one said you have to get this the first time you play through the game.
IMO it's the exact same as having achievements that require you to play numerous difficulties without the difficulties stacking. *shrug*

Nevermind, just re-read where I read that originally - no mention of achievements, just a "1 of 100 flying rats" pop-up

People need to stop jumping to conclusions on everything.
There is no way in hell these are the actual achievement descriptions. You can tell by the weird grammar, a lot of them don't make sense, and are way too close to prior games.
Wait for the actual descriptions, then make your lame comments. :)

"Let Sleeping Rockstars Lie 10G

....For fuck sake. These better not be the real ones, some of us enjoy maxing out games and with retarded achievements like that it's just not ever possible, ruins part of the game for me. I'd hope it's at least like the virus achievos, it spreads from player to player.

Didn't R* already say the crappy stats you had to build up in GTASA including getting a girlfriend wont be in IV? Or did i dream that?

"Unlock the special ability of helicopter."
"After meeting all possible friends, the ones left alive all like you above 90%."
"Unlock the special ability of buying guns from a friend."
"Win a ranked multiplayer race without damaging your vehicle too much and with damaged enabled."
And people actually think that these supposed 'leaked' descriptions posted by some random forum poster could possibly be legit? I'm pretty sure Rockstar knows English at the least.
Most of the descriptions look like they were written by those guys that write spam emails, clearly not native english speakers.
Many others don't make sense, like this one:
"Complete a taxi ride without skipping from one island to another."
Consider this rumor debunked.
