What is your opinion on achievements and achievement hunting?
Don't bother. I like them as a concept but in reality they're boring. I don't think I've ever 100% a game.
It's cool when games incorporate it into their unlocks/upgrades (e.g. FTL and Into the Breach)
Achievements can be a fun challenge or goalmarkers for when you replay a game.
But if it's just boring and tedious then that's just cringe and gay.
I play games how I want to play them and if I unlock achievements along the way then great if not, oh well. Alot of achievements are just grindy bullshit anyway, like
>kill 10,000 enemies in this dead game, only ranked counts btw
Or
>collect 3000 spider butts in a single playthrough
To outright broken ones like
>kill 1000 bad guys in a single playthrough
>finish game
>killed 1500
So I dont see the purpose in hunting them when many are either extremely tedious or outright broken.
This. And this ruins even the good ones for me. Why 100% one when there a dozen I haven't? I either play completionist or I don't.
I only bother with achievements if its post game clean up on things that actually seem interesting, if its dumb shit like kill x amount of enemies no way
It's a nice way to squeeze out a bit more playtime from a game, but I think playing for achievements specifically can ruin games.
>be number one in the world
Fuck right off GR and Quake 4. These were impossible to get after the first day.
fuck achievements
>have alot of games completed on xbox 360
>have 2 completed on steam
Fuck steam achievements man, devs went so fucking cancer with many of them.
It's fun.
No idea how I got 3 perfect games. Achievements are usually dumb as fuck. In the nu-Tomb Raider games you literally have to shoot a bunch of hidden objects in each area. Is that even fun?
>100% a game
>DLC comes out
>it's multiplayer DLC
>adds more fucking achievements
NO
forgot pic.
>multiplayer achievements
whoever thought of them should die in a fire
I rarely do it even on games I enjoy. If getting all of them isn't too ridiculous and I have nothing else to play, then I'll do it.
am I doing it right Zig Forums ?
paradox does achievements right, they encourage give replayability by encouraging you to play something completely different than you're used to
FH4 man... and FH3 with the 4 achievements they added over a year later. I'm all for free title updates, but the games take up so much HDD space.
I can't even name how many fucking games this happened in
How do you even check those stats?
steam profile page
It doesn't show that shit for me
>manage to get them all anyway
>new DLC comes out and adds more
edit your profile and add acheivement showcase
>only level 9 so I don't have the option
gay
>breaks immersion
>no impact on the game itself
>never happen when you achieve something actually significant in the game
they make games worse
buy more games you shabbos goy
>8 perfect games
>28% completion
>13,000 achievements
wait what
Cool concept for challenges after you finish the game. Unfortunately the vast majority of the time some of the achievements are easy as hell. I do agree that they need to get better or at least play a better sound/visual effect to incentive people to get them more. It can also be used so the player gains mastery of the game.
80 hours in hoi4 and not a single achievement unlocked for me, I don't know why either considering I've done several of them already
>good threads die but shitty bait threads stay up
fuck this board
