all those hours wasted grinding shitty achievements just to say I hit 100% only to realize it's pointless
>>
I like doing it for fun but I hate dumb trophies/achievements like "finish the main story in under 5 hours without taking damage"
>>
>>724335238
I just do it to games I like or want to know I don't have to go back to unless I want to have fun. Playing Silksong right now, need to get back to Rebirth to finish 100%ing it by finishing Hard Mode and doing the VR fights.

achievements are worthless. usually they just make them piss easy with a couple time waster ones to pad playtime. you have to decide for yourself what is worthy of your time
>>
>>724335238
I have 50+ platinum trophies that I will pass down to my children
>>
>>724335238
I only use achievements to check if there is cool shit left to do after beating the game
>>
>>724335498
it's unironically made me question just how much money I've wasted on steam
there's been a bunch of games where I used achievements as justification for buying but now it's like "wow I spent $60 just for achievements, and at least 10 hours of that time will be arbitrary grinding for the unfun ones"
>>
On my 15 years on playstation i have like 5 platinums and all of them were the easiest shit, most of my games are on the 70%-90% range.
>>
>>724335238
>>724335657
I don't know why, but I've only ever cared about achievements on console
>>
>>724335825
better feedback
seeing a small pop up and having to full screen the achievement and read it gives more dopamine than steam's corner notification
>>
>>724335825
Probably because in your mind you think everyone cheats but in reality you can a apply a 0,1-0,5% margin of error on the steam achievement percentage and you'll have an accurate result.
>>
Not getting 100% means you didn't beat the game.

>beat Ninja Gaiden 2 Black on the master ninja difficulty.
>NAH M8 YOU HAVE TO GO BACK AND ACHIEVE PERFECT SCORE ON EVERY DIFFICULTY AND EVERY STAGE
My time on this god forsaken Earth is too limited for this bullshit.

>>724335238
only platinum your favorite games retard

I've got like 38 platinum trophies.

Most of them are for tell tale games and other easy stuff the only ones I put effort into were Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077 and Dragon Age 3.

The only time I really had fun trophy hunting was when I played Detroit become human because it let me see all the cool optional content in the game.

I think next I might try and get one for Persona 3 remake and silent hill 2 remake since I enjoyed them.

I love achievements because I'm too bored with single player games and it adds to the fun
>>
>>724335238
if I like a game, I'll complete the achievements to extend my playtime
otherwise, achievements are for idiots with too much time
>>
>>724335238
111 plats and counting. Running out of good games fast
>>
>>724335238
My personal rule is end credits plus 75% of achievements. Enough to see most of what the game has to offer, but I don't bore myself to death grinding out those last few bullshit achievements.
>>
just finished Portal steam cheevos
was worth it since it made me learn some tricks and glitches i wouldn't have otherwise, plus it was fun in general
>>
>>724335238
>learn about SAM
>steam achievements lose all value
>>
>>724340005
I knew something was fishy when so many accounts had the same perfect games i.e RDR2, Witcher 3, Cyberpunk etc. All very time consuming games to 100%.
