what are some achievements you should NOT have?
>>749005562I don't care for steamie achievements Most of them are pointless and unfun
>>749005562
isnt there like a program that just unlocks every achievement instantly? whats even the point then
>>749005562Based if legit.
>>749005562that one in baby steps. you know, that one
>>749006176No, I don't. Enlighten me.
>>749005562Did it with myself on another account
>>749006253therefore, I should not have it since it's not legit
>>749006223baby steps is a game where you walk uphill. the most difficult challenge is optional and an npc taunts you right before you reach it. there's an alternate route to the end next to it, but if you give up and take that path, the walk of shame, you will get an achievement for it
>>749006176>>749006606kek talking like anybody else plays that slop. Having that trash in your library is shameful enough, who cares about the achievement.
>>749006719you talk like some third-worlder which is much worse than simply owning a game. unfortunately for you, your illness is terminal
>>749006719People like you make hobby boards a worse place for everyone. Stop being a faggot and engage in real conversation you cretin.
>>749006878>>749006810why did you buy a literal walking simulator with quirk chungus writing and expect us to pat you on the back? no one is going to judge you for having particular achievements in it, they're going to judge you for buying unfunny gay slop.it's QWOP long after QWOP lost its novelty. it's an intentionally tedious and boring game with jokes that aren't funny unless you're 10. is that real enough conversation for you? or does "real conversation" require liking the game and sucking you off for playing it?
>>749005921SAM? That finally stopped working a few months ago because Valve updated how Steam's achievements are handled. Unless they updated it since then, but I haven't checked. I don't use it that often.
>>749007338not sure why you quoted the other anon who didn't play it. anyway as for me, it was for the challenge. it's funny that out of everything you said, you omitted the one most important defining feature about it. did you read the op? i merely answered the question. what is your purpose here? to seethe that someone else played a game you don't like? that happens everywhere all the time and you sperg out on me on this one occasion? get lost, dweeb
>>749006606Meh, that seems like a pretty common indie game trope. So many of those quirky low concept games have quick/bad/shameful endings that you get achievements for.
>>749007751High/low concept don't mean what you think they mean.
>>749007338Its a fucking videogame, quit treating your toys like a political statement you midwit pseud poseur, just fucking play videogames if you like them.
>>749007935its pretty obvious that you hold back for overheads, down back for lows, and mids can be blocked by either
>>749008015why would you play games that are bad on purpose
>>749005562I wanted all achievements completed, but I also really like not having this one.
>>749005562actually one of the rarest for this game
>>749008058Why would you think anyone cares what you think about games you haven't played just based on the 'vibe' you get from it giving you an ick based on your political preferences?You're no better than the tumblr feminists shaming people for playing games that gave them a political ick. You have a redditor soul.
>>749005693Achievements are only fun in games where there are no missable ones. No I'm not going to play your game 2-3 times or use some guide to make sure I don't fuck myself out of one of them without knowing it.
>>749007507Lame, had to SAM one achievement where it was broken on Steam when I went to grab it after grabbing it on console.
>>749005562Off the top of my head:>KILLING SPREE (Left 4 Dead 2)Earn a Gold Medal on every Survival map.>Dead God (The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth)100% Compete the entire game on the Repentance DLC.>Rabi-Ribi! (Rabi-Ribi)Complete every achievement.This game is so insanely hard that well after a decade, less than 1% of players have gotten every achievement in this game. In my opinion, getting this legitimately is one of the hardest things you could do in any game ever.
>>749008103why are you so upset
>>749007935Tankeløs/hjernedød is the concept I'm trying to convey. Still learning without using google.
>play with game creator (the creator doesnt play the game)>complete a campaign with free weekend players (the free weekend only happened once)>get 1000 likes on workshop submission>spend x amount of time playing the game>do fancy thing in a game mode no one plays>do fancy thing on a FOMO event>play online matches on a single player platformer (has 0 players)>complete the game without dying
>>749008103When did politics come in to play here?
I used to make achievement guides when I was a kid and the one thing I refused to document was the one in Duke Nukem Forever where you grab a turd and throw it into a urinal.
>>749008454>complete the game in 2 hours or less>requires you to skip dialogues, skip cutscenes or do some bullshit speedrunner cheesing
>>749005562Pretty much every TF2 achievement. I used SAM to get the items.
>>749008058Same reason why'd you watch bad movies
>>749007507>>749008124I used SAM today and havent had to update it in years.
>>749009368I'm honestly glad they got rid of this achievement in Wilds, that way I can actually summon the NPC hunters without getting the mark of shame
>>749005921personal use for keeping track of your own accomplishments. The same way you can cheat to beat a game and only (you) would know.
Don't you love achievements that a good player will never get because it requires a level of failure?I grinded this one out in the Long Dark by tossing on a heap of protection gear and provoking a cougar to rough me up over and over because anyone who is on their guard and has decent aim will never actually get pounced on by a cougar in the first place
>>749008109>games should have replayability!>no, i won't play the game more than once!
>>749008109>achievements are only fun if you're guaranteed to get them just by playing
>>749006253Wat game
>>749012405>>749008109NTA but I'm not replying a 200 hour RPG because I missed the 30 minute window to pick up a doohickey that vanishes forever after you walk through a specific door.
>>749008454>'The Absolute Madman'>Do this ludicrously-specific thing that's not difficult at all and that you would never do on purpose or even by accident if not for this achievement instructing you to
>>749012682He didn't say that, retard. He's saying you should be able to go back and get the missing achievements after you complete the game.
>>749013335If a game is not a "run based" game where it is expected that you will play through it multiple times and the length is under 1 hour per run, specific run-based achievements are fine.But missible achivements just encourage people to look up lists and guides before they start playing.
>>749005562The one for exploding 9s's shorts in Nier.
>only romance Liara>rekindling the relationship in 2 doesn't count as a romance for the second game>will never have this oneI ain't no cheater
>>749005562if you have the Legion quests achievements in New Vegas I don't trust you as a person
>>749008481making fun of bad products is fascism
>>749013505But Liara is shit.
>>749013578don't talk to me, Talifag
>>749013597But Tali is even shittier.
>>749013614alright Garruschud
Any speedrun achievement
>>749005921You get excluded of all cheevo hunter communities if they figure out that you've been using it TOUGHT!
>>7490134299S(ex)
>>749005816lol, anon doesn't play on hard or chaos mode.
>>749012405>achievements>replay valuele ef mao
>>749008109What about achievements related to making a different choice during certain quests, choosing a different story route or different endings?
>>749017042Still trash. Multiple endings and routes are for cowardly writers.
>>749005562In game ranking/scoring system>>>>>>steam cheevos
>>749008454>>749005562
>>749012405goomba fallacy
I'm pretty sure the dev then posted the pics on here shortly after this...
>>749005562achievement on napoleon total war relating vs campaigns. I have the one for beating austria quickly
>>749022847>unironically emailed a photo of a cake to a tranny dev for a shitty VN
No. I will not take the bribe. Fuck kickstarter selfinserts.
>>749019235Ys?
>>749023636yeah
>>749005562I don't know. I never look at them because I don't give a shit.
>>749005562Achievements ruined the definition of "gamers". Players thinking they "100%" the game and are super 'hardcore" when they didn't even touch hard mode or ever done a single speed run with acceptable results, highscores, and etc.Achievements are the first sign on the dawn of the fucking casuals.
cheevos were one of the worst additions to games imo
>>749005562Playing Panzer Dragoon Remake for 100+ hours
>>749024035I 100% games I hate just so I can leverage a valid opinion on /v/ about them
>>749024035>or ever done a single speed run with acceptable resultsbut I don't want to cut off my dick
>>749013009Europa Universalis IV chievos are basically that.
>>749013505the fact that you can't get this achievement monogamously because Ashley and Kaiden aren't romanceable in 2 and Liara's DLC doesn't count drives me insane. You have to cheat on whoever you picked in the first game
>>749005562Literally any achievement from the Stanley Parable
>>749019765the api broke for this so now it's impossible to get without dicking around in the files of the game. They should remove them since you can't get them conventionally anymore, or put in a new way to get them. damn.
>>749024035>when they didn't even touch hard mode or ever done a single speed run with acceptable results, highscores, and etc>>implying these aren't achievement parameters in 90% of gamesAnon
>>749022847>>749023165Irrelevant as there's a full achievement that's 100% impossible and always has been in that same game.
>>749024989These kind of achievements are the worst. Like "spend X hours" or "kill X enemies" but the number is 10x what you'd do in a normal playthrough.
>>749008015what if their toys are the closet they get to political statements? what if we are the only place they can go to talk to anyone?
The hardest things ive done in games are not even achievements because these days devs dont want to force their players to get good at something to the point of going insane. Most achievements except a rare few are worthless but a fun thing to do if you love the game you're playing.
>>749005562haha...
>>749005921Idk I find it pretty good for when the game breaks and doesn't give it to you. Achievements are for personal triumph anyway, if someone cheats for them then they are missing the point.
>>749012405>>no, i won't play the game more than once!yes.there are too many other games to play and not enough time in a given week to play them. I will not play your 60 hour game over two months once just to be told to play it a second or third time for a different ending or handful of achievements
>>749013363You can flip him off in the VR mod
>>749026232The aren't. 99% of gaming achievements are just quest guidelines and fetch quests.
>>749005921...Personal challenge?Nigger, you fucking absolute buffoon, you can download cheat engine and finish literally any game.What's the point of playing anything, huh?>huuuurrrr it's not the sameNo, it's exactly the same. You're not doing anything productive with your time, you're playing fucking videogames to have fun. If you're not having fun doing the achievement challenge then there's no point in doing it, and THAT'S THE POINT. Literally the same thing with doing any challenge. There isn't a $5 gift card waiting for you at the end, you're doing it for the thrill, just for fun.You don't have to get everything. Your line of thinking stems from the fact that YOUR retarded ass thinks that you do.
>>749027209this is from the first The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing gameyou kill around 10-12k enemies in an entire normal playthrough so you have to cheese bosses that spawn infinite minions or replay the story over and over again
>>749030710Hahahahaaha OP cleard that cheevo 100x over
>>749025695That's just Paradox games in general.
>>749013398yepbasically i always look up missable stuff when starting an rpg
>>749008185>Rabi-Ribi! (Rabi-Ribi)tried thisi think a shmup where you are not even flying is stupid and would explain the low play rate
>>749005693>steamie
>>749025979been broken for easily more than a decadevalve also doesn't even give a shit, this alone shows what they think of their own achi system
>>749031325using AI to make fun of jeets is incredibly ironic
>>749005562>coop/multiplayer achievements>achievements that require more than one playthrough>mutually exclusive achievements (branch off and do x to get x achievement instead of branching off to y to get y achievement - can be solved with achievement "did x or y")>extreme grind achievements "accummulate/kill/find/do X at least 100x more than most people generally achieve on a full playthrough" - they are fine when the numbers are within reason in the context of the game's numbers>watched credits>started the game>bought our merch>crowdfunder
>>749031272So do I. But you really shouldn't need to.This is one that really irked me. Basically you needed to ride a carriage everywhere for the entire game and intentionally drive like a maniac for 80-90% of the total game runtime to get this. It was doable in a normal playthrough but only if you were grinding it from the very start.
>devs add one drip of new content and one achievement every few months>devs add a bunch of content but no achievements post-launch>devs add new (paid) content and a handful of achievements quarterlywhich do you prefer here
>>749032520no achievements post-launch, no contest
>l4d2>has an achievement for playing with free weekend players>can only be done once every 7 years
>>749027902Then you shouldn't be getting all the achievements for any game, simple as.
>>749005562>DLC achievementsThese achievements should be hidden unless you have the DLC
>>749013505this except it's because you can't romance tali in me1
>>749024035achievements for "beating the most difficult mode" and "completing collection" are also not completely aligned with each other either. if you get every item in the game, then most likely you picked up an item that makes the game easier to win. you can't say that you beat a game at its most difficult if you have every achievement for it unlocked
>>749032520>>devs add a bunch of content but no achievements post-launchWarframe does thisif they continued adding new achis i probably would have already abandonedi still get on from time to time
>Achievement: start the game>10.5% of players have this achievement
>>749027209>beat Final Fantasy 9, a 50-hour RPG>see this
Still mad
>>749005562Remember, never not elf
>>749034337>an FAQI know its technically correct but its just one of those things you pronounce like a word instead of letters. fack > f a q
>>749034458the point of abbreviation is for brevity. if you read them and still sound each meaning fully, you're doing it wrong
Now I feel like making a new account and purposefully getting/avoiding achievements.>just remove them with SAMThat's cheating.
>>749034458>pronouncing "eff ayy cue" as "fack"you've got to be an alien creature or some shit
>>749034458gamefacks
95% of HoI 4 achievements are just>Own a,b and c land as a x countryWhich just ends up with you being at war with the whole world
>>749005562Achievements were one of the biggest mistakes valve ever made.
>>749034458>>749035618>>749036797It's funny, when saying GameFAQs, I say Gamefacks, but when referring to an FAQ I say the letters, hence the need for the "an" instead of the "a".
>>749037551same
>buy game>unlock all achievements with SAM>play game
>>749034250somehow not even the worst grind achievement in the series, the 3D versions of 3, 4 and 4TAY are beyond evil
>>749037551I always say gamefackyous
>>749034102Every time I see one of these it’s because the dev only added achievements for the "full release" after the game had been in early access for ages.
>raiding
If you don't get all achievements you didn't beat the game.
>game has mutually exclusive achievements, earning one removes the other if present>everyone with 100% achievements is using SAM
>>749040227>mutually exclusive achievements, earning one removes the other if presentIs that even possible to do in the steam architecture?
>>749040634I don't know about that specific scenario but I do know games can remove your achievements, the Stanley Parable demo does it.
>>749005562>cares about achievements>has an autistic aversion to anything multiplayertypical solovegan behavior
>>749017042I hate these ones. It just encourages savescumming or wasting the player's time since most often different choices in games make minimal difference anyway. My favorite type of achievements (and what I think achievements should be all about) are ones that challenge the player to do something above and beyond what the game normally expects from them. The easiest example are speedrun achievements, it doesn't have to be anything crazy difficult either, just a time set by the devs that requires someone actually pays attention during the level and does the most obvious things they can to save time. Think the relics in Crash games
>>749039948modern destiny sandbox is a trash so the raid is garbage now. but last wish was one of the last non tranny raids.
>>749007507Sam still works fine
>>749005562Any achievement associated with setting the game to easy mode
>>749040634Yes it is, I’ve seen that exact thing done with some indie games. Theres a Steam API call to remove achievements.
>>749032520>which do you prefer hereNew achievements with no new content
>>749008109I hate Achievements/Trophies of "Complete tasks under X minutes and get a medal"
>>749008083Devs severely underestimated how many times 100 is. I doubt I even had 100 deaths in my first run of Elden Ring.
>>749034458>fackI pronounce it as "fag">>749036797>>749037551Gamefags
>>749044670illiteracy leading to bigotry, big surprise
>>749034458I have never once a day in my life mentally pronounced FAQ as FAK, in English anyway, it was always F-A-Q.In french, yeah I'd read it as FAK.
>>749045020Okay, what game is this?
>>749017049No this acxhievenment is so difficult to get that its basically on the same level as doing a hardmode with all negatives
>>749008058No one is forcing you to play them but if someone wants to do it then who gives a fuck?
>>749006483kek
>>749005562Those Metal Slug achievements that make you have to play with each character 100 times
>>749022623
>>749025083There's no shame in liking these games anon you don't have to pretend you hate them
>>749012736Dead rising 2
>>749031849>watched creditsI usually watch the credits if i really liked the game and they have cool pictures or good music
>>749032768why actually put in impossible achievements, steam games love doing that for some reason
>>749047050Given how unstable DR2's netcode is to this day, that sounds like a complete chore.
>>749013528It's called roleplaying.Just because you're character is evil, doesn't mean you are evil.
>>749047895No, you don't get it. Every action you take in games exactly mirrors what you would do in real life. This is also why every main character must be literally me, otherwise I cannot get immersed.There are probably people who actually think this way.
>>749008073The PS4 takes screenshots when you get achievements. My screen shot for this one is of my home screen because I got killed trying to dodge a zombie and ragequit
>game has non-stacking difficulty achievement>only have achievement for the hardest difficulty you can select from a fresh save
>>749047895>Just because you're character is evil, doesn't mean you are evil.You're still the one making the decisions and performing the actions. It's not like you're watching a movie or reading a book.
>>749034337
>>749034337>>749034458>ding!
>game only has one achievement>0.4% unlock rate
>>749048183never played ys, but the tooltip seems to imply there was at least one ruby, while the reviewer claims he didn't encounter any of them. who is at fault here?
>>749048339I know which one you're talking aboutI gave up on it
>>749048396>reading comprehension
>>749048103>He can't separate reality from fictionActual mental illness
I like getting steam achievements but only for games I really like.
>>749047493that's actually not the worst one.. all the TIR (terror is reality) online ones were a nightmare, since it used to use windows live it's absolute spaghetti and they never fixed it, even with pulling together people for a night of achivo hunting expect lots of network issues
>>749048560so it's the reviewers fault? he didn't see any rubies, nor did he see the tooltip
>>749005921Sometimes when I replay a game I like to use SAM to lock all the achievements so I can re-earn them
>>749006253that makes me sad
>>749031325good to know steamies still get upset over that word
>>749048629
>>749005562You can finish this game in an hour or less. Even if you replay it on Hard difficulty a couple of times, you're looking at an achievement for idling for 90+ hours.
I remember some Tiger Woods game on 360 had some bullshit like become the number 1 player in the world.
>>749034250I set up a macro to kill shit in Gizamaluke's Grotto while I slept, took about a week.
this is after 1000 hours playing this gameretarded devs
>>749049020why is 1 guy 1 jar making such a comeback lately?
>>749048176>achievement forces you to play on specific mode to unlock>devs mocks you for doing sofaggot devs
>>749050332The best part is there's an achievement for getting all achievements.
>>749008015A toy and a game are two different things, world changing events have been decided over games.
>>749050590>world changing events have been decided over games.people being retarded doesn't change the definitionvidya are toys
>>749047130I do not. And I will always give a game a negative review if I can't skip the credits - no matter how much I might have enjoyed the game. I won't stand for that shit
>>749005562Any of them. I hate them and wish I could just turn them off completely.
