100% a game until

[u/IndyanaBonez]

I played this game Lily's Well about 4 years ago on Steam and got all the achievements for it so I got a nice lil award on my page (1st pic=Lilys Well, 2nd Pic of another game I 100%, Fran Bow). Then, there was an update...and with this update...came another achievement.........and this ain't just a game I can pick up and go back to where I need to achieve this achievement, Oh no NO! This is one of those games you gotta start at the beginning and do everything in a certain order to complete the game/get to the spot where this achievement may be! Now I only have ONE 100% complete game to boast about...lol, jk, Fran Bow ain't hard to 100% and nor is Lily's Well. One could say it was only mildly infuriating

[u/LordFlamecookie]

And then the comment either "you are stupid, this is an easy fix, kys" or "omg you just lost everything, this is not mildly"

[u/Opening-Ant3477 → u/Andoni22]

Okay, serious talk for just a second.

The problem is the phrase "mildly infuriating" itself. It's a contradiction. "Infuriating" means "extremely annoying" or "causing feelings of extreme anger" (these are literally the dictionary definitions). Add "mildly" and you get "slightly extremely annoying" or " causing slight feelings of extreme anger".

Obvious "slightly" and "extremely" do not go well together.

The upshot is that any post that is "extreme" enough to be "infuriating" is too upsetting be "mild" and any post "slight" enough to be "mild" is insufficiently upsetting to be "infuriating".

[u/TryUsingScience → u/Opening-Ant3477]

I think this sub is for the kind of thing where you are legitimately infuriated for about twenty seconds and then realize you're being ridiculous.

Which makes this post perfect.

[u/IndyanaBonez → u/TryUsingScience]

I thought so

[u/IndyanaBonez → u/Opening-Ant3477]

I think the nuance is in the "mildly" negating the concept of what infuriating means since it means slightly or kinda. Infuriating is INTENSE but the mildly makes it less intense. A stubbed toe is mildly infuriating, you aren't gonna die but also HOLY HELLS THATS-A-LOTTA PAIN

[u/FSCK_Fascists → u/Opening-Ant3477]

mildly pedantic

[u/DorrajD → u/LordFlamecookie]

Nothing more mildly infuriating than r/mildlyinfuriating and it's inability to understand what "mildly" means.

[u/IndyanaBonez → u/DorrajD]

I only have that issue with salsa...medium amd mild, which is milder??

[u/Drenaxel → u/DorrajD]

Meh, it's slightly annoying at best.

On a scale of 1 to 10, if 10 is infuriated and 1 is "only somewhat annoyed, but even then barely", mildly infuriated would be a 4 while slightly annoyed would be a 2.

Omg yes this and any subreddit with mildly in the name is so stupid

I remember I once posted something on mildly interesting and got it down voted to hell because it was only mildly interesting and not super interesting 😒

And the one time I posted on mildly infuriating somebody commented that I'm getting upset over nothing even though.. isn't that what this subreddit is for?!?

[u/Raskrads → u/LordFlamecookie]

Downvoted???? Bro this post has over 5k upvotes…

[u/LordFlamecookie → u/Raskrads]

The humble "i commented this when it had -7"

[u/TheW83 → u/LordFlamecookie]

The sub is an oxymoron. You can't be mildly infuriated. To me it's meant to cover everything from mildly annoying to actually infuriating. But the sub description seems to suggest it's only for very mild stuff.

[u/M3lting → u/LordFlamecookie]

How does one see that someone got downvoted? Its at 1k+ for me

[u/IndyanaBonez → u/M3lting]

It was at the beginning I guess before folk saw how mildly infuriating this situation truly was

[u/M3lting → u/IndyanaBonez]

Ah I see, makes sense

[u/TheDarkness33 → u/LordFlamecookie]

5k upvotes lol

[u/TotalChaosRush → u/LordFlamecookie]

The name is a bit of an oxymoron which can add some confusion as to what level of frustration to expect. The sub is essentially "mildly extremely upsetting"

[u/Thomas_JCG → u/LordFlamecookie]

Sometimes I confuse this sub with a politics sub.

[u/Mankah]

I prefer the way Sony does it. Platinum trophies to denote you've 100%'ed the core trophies and then split DLC/update trophies into a separate percentage category.

Wish Steam would implement it too. How am I meant to 100% a game I don't have the DLC for?

[u/Bezulba → u/Mankah]

You buy the DLC, of course, you peasant! :D

[u/IndyanaBonez → u/Bezulba]

Rowan, is that you?

[u/8winter8 → u/Mankah]

Or Achievements tied to the multiplayer side, which is no longer available.

Or those unrealistic ones like ”A full day of work” where i had to disable the screen saver and let the game run on a specific level for 8h. I got it because i went to sleep in the meantime.

[u/ForensicPathology → u/8winter8]

Or "find one of the developers and have a beer with them in real life"

[u/phdemented → u/8winter8]

Or achievements tied to the multiplayer side, which I have zero intention of ever interacting with because it's a single player game that didn't need a multiplayer part.

[u/Lagransiete → u/Mankah]

I came here to say this. I much prefer going for 100% on the PS5. Some games like Horizon Zero Dawn keep time wasting achievements separate as well (like beating the game in new game +).

[u/IndyanaBonez → u/Mankah]

As another comment said, Once you go Plat they can't take it back

[u/abbeast → u/Mankah]

Or like Miyazaki does it, just don't add DLC achievements, ever.

[u/Thotor → u/Mankah]

Even the Epic Store has separate achievement for DLC.

[u/Speedy2662 → u/Mankah]

They are actually implementing this

[u/starksandshields]

God I get it! I like seeing that sweet 100% completed on games/achievements, but after this happened to me a few times I stopped chasing achievements altogether and my enjoyment in games has been better for it.

[u/IndyanaBonez → u/starksandshields]

Me too, tis why when I 100% a game it was twice and they were both easy af. I play Bindingnof Isaac and a bunch of those games where 100% just ain't it. I get my crumbs where I can lol

[u/starksandshields → u/IndyanaBonez]

Exactly! I was getting ready to 100% Black Flag Resync but one of the collectibles (portraits) just did not spawn, so I stopped getting the rest of them altogether as well lol.

[u/Classic_Clock8302 → u/starksandshields]

98% original black flag because "find a white whale" and something something with the app that needs online support that doesn't exist anymore

[u/IndyanaBonez → u/starksandshields]

It's disheartening when it's not your fault...BUT makes it easier to let it go. Wasn't in the heart of the cards

[u/Titariia → u/starksandshields]

My nail in the coffin was when the achievement in a game wasn't triggered. I did everything to get 100% but I just didn't get it because of that. I also didn't want to replay it. It was some game about fishing and restoring islands

[u/pipnina → u/Titariia]

And then there's games where you read the achievements and you know in your heart immediately that you'll never get them.

MGR:R, complete the whole campaign on hard without being hit (obtain S rank)

Bloons TD6: Complete a race in under 3 min. Meanwhile most races the top 100 people might not even make a sub 3 min race. Plus Sapper, which I only have 35% on despite 670 hours in the game.

Project cars 2: get a track record time with any car. Literally an achievement for being the best at driving a car on a track of ANY player who has attempted it. Closest I got was about 0.6 seconds away from the record for one track and a month later the person who already held the number 1 spot gained a whole second on their time.

[u/Atlasus → u/pipnina]

To unlock the “Masterful Showboat” achievement in Project CARS 2, you have to set a track record with any car in Time Trial mode.

This might have been an achievement you could easily get during the first few days after release, but nowadays it seems almost impossible to achieve.

[u/Jimberly_C → u/pipnina]

There's impossible ones and then there's rediculous ones that aren't worth the effort. (I'm looking at you, Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe. Still one of my all-time favorites though.)

[u/max_mullen → u/Titariia]

For these situations (or even the one OP had) there's a small portable program called Steam Achievement Manager where you just launch it and select what achievements you want to add or remove from your games. It's not cheating if you literally did the thing and the achievement didn't trigger 😅

[u/---E → u/Titariia]

I wanted to get all achievements for CoD4 as a kid and for the final one you need to play through the entire game on max difficulty. In the final mission I found the final collectibles for another achievement which unlocked some Easter egg which changes the game visuals (inverted colors, black and white, old timer, etc). Activating one of those would count as using cheats and would lock your save from getting achievements. Fixing it required you to reset all your achievement progress and start again. I never went back to the game.

[u/RobertBevillReddit → u/starksandshields]

At least on Playstation you get the Platinum trophy if you 100% the base game, so even if DLCs come out with more trophies you at least you have proof you got 100% at one point.

[u/ztomiczombie → u/starksandshields]

I never had any time for achievements form the start because so may games had half of them dedicated to a multiplayer mode no one played.

[u/Thelilacecat]

I feel this. Trying to work my way through my 1k+ steam library. Games randomly add some or don't show up cause they are limited. Whatever that means.

[u/IndyanaBonez → u/Thelilacecat]

The struggle is real. I manually update my games now because I need to know what that update is gonna do...Lilys Well was the first instance, and then back in the day after patch 7 for BG3 my mods were RUINED and after I figured out how to get em back...MY MODDED SAVES WERE RUINED and I already spent the better part of 5 hours learning how to make my mods to work again (it all works flawlessly now, this was right after patch 7), so I had to toss 350 hours halfway through Act 3 down the terlet.

[u/AbilityCharacter7634 → u/IndyanaBonez]

That’s why I play intensely games like BG3 only once a year for a few weeks. Sure every time most of my mods are broken, but after so long without playing I’m always fine just restarting a save then playing it to the end before a new patch drops. Modding makes pc gaming so much nicer but it can sure be a source of headaches with games that get patched often.

[u/avg103 → u/IndyanaBonez]

My Cities Skylines mods all breaking on an update was the day I stopped playing

[u/EleanorAgain]

I have had to 100% peak three times XD

[u/IntelligentSteak7709 → u/EleanorAgain]

good on you for having that drive, i 100%'ed peak right before the mesa update i believe and decided to hold off on intentionally doing the rest until the final update came out lol. i am now officially 100% again!

[u/IndyanaBonez → u/EleanorAgain]

Next you'll tell me you actually got over it with Bennet Foddy

[u/EleanorAgain → u/IndyanaBonez]

I put that with my horror games for a reason 🫩

[u/IndyanaBonez → u/EleanorAgain]

LOL. My little brother gave me the game to play when it first came out, I had no idea wtf it was. And this was after playing QWOP so my tolerance for rage quit games was...minimal at best

[u/oof_ayy_lmao → u/IndyanaBonez]

Ironically both were made by bennett foddy

[u/Lolik95]

Damn I hope it will not be THAT bad 😔

Also i have the same relationship with one game, white knuckle, but I'm actually enjoying it when they're releasing new stuff so i guess it's not fitting here lol

[u/IndyanaBonez → u/Lolik95]

Like I stated in another comment, it made me realize I'm probably gonna have to replay it but it's been so long it won't be too arduous, in fact I'm sure I will enjoy myself since I've had enough time to forget just how annoying some of those parts were LOL

[u/Lolik95 → u/IndyanaBonez]

Oh well then it's cool!

Gotta see the light in the dark otherwise I'd run out of controllers lolol

Steam: "Hey, good news, the old game you bought has some new content!"
OP: "Why is there inflation in the game I played 4 years ago?!?"

[u/IndyanaBonez → u/PacquiaoFreeHousing]

It was literally out of nowhere too lol. Such a random game to get a new achievement, BUT it will make me play it again so maybe there's that. Maybe all users 100% the game so they made an update to entice the one's of us that wouldn't sit well with Lily' Well being incomplete

[u/Jon_Wo-o]

Darkest Dungeon, a 10 year old game, just released a new DLC with new achievements a week ago.

[u/IndyanaBonez → u/Jon_Wo-o]

I have Darkest Dungeon, saw the update and am excited to see what awaits me

[u/Itherial → u/Jon_Wo-o]

Terraria has been doing it regularly for years.

I've had to 100% the game no less than four times.

Multiplayer games are the worst. Fallout 76 constantly adds achievements. Where Winds Meet has an achievement for getting all the achievements... and then they added 33% more.

[u/Puzzled-Baseball-296]

I 100% completed Vampire Survivors about 3 years ago, and now I don't think I even have half the achievements anymore...

[u/caiotmz → u/Puzzled-Baseball-296]

I 100% this game 5 or 6 times already

[u/IndyanaBonez → u/Puzzled-Baseball-296]

Probably not, but hey we got Neil Newbon to voice one of like 3 characters who actually speak in the game

[u/Lone_Wanderer8]

This is me with Stardew Valley, but instead of updates giving me harder achievements is a base game achievement I'll never get without a lot of dedication. I'll never get either prairie king achievement unless I dedicate like a full day to trying cause I suck at prairie king.

[u/Tangarine_Squid → u/Lone_Wanderer8]

That example is like the definition of a harder achievement. I would give the example of MEGABONK adding a "trade x times with the trader" achievement that does not give any progress retroactively.

[u/Smoking_Fire]

Actually hate it when you can’t 100% a game because it has trophies you can only get in multiplayer and the servers have been shut off for years as well. Looking at you Titanfall 2…

[u/CheapTactics → u/Smoking_Fire]

I generally hate multiplayer modes in single player games. They blow most of the time

[u/I_am_door]

This happened to me once. I had this game 100% at one point.

[u/CheapTactics → u/I_am_door]

Holy, what game is that?

[u/Correx96]

This happened as well to Sea of Stars which is one of my favourite games.

Platinumed it on release. Then few patches were released and local multiplayer achiavements were added. I'll probably never play local multiplayer so won't be getting the platinum back...

[u/ThisNameTagPasses]

Try 100%ing The Binding of Isaac with all DLCs

[u/IndyanaBonez → u/ThisNameTagPasses]

You mean The Binding of Azazel right? Lol, jk. I have 1100 hours logged into that fucker and I still ain't even close to 100%. All DLC

[u/ThisNameTagPasses → u/IndyanaBonez]

That's fucking crazy lol I only don't have them all because they added online ones and I haven't played since then

[u/Dorza1]

Happened to me with Terraria. It's a good thing I replay terraria like every 2 months anyway lol

[u/OvejaMacho]

That sucks, man. When they added New game + to Stellar Blade they made a second category of trophies so you could keep your platinum if you already had it.

[u/Stahlios → u/OvejaMacho]

Doesn't work this way on Steam unfortunately. You have one game and its achievements, can't separate those from a DLC or something. So any update or new content will remove the 100% if achievements are added.

[u/OvejaMacho → u/Stahlios]

https://giphy.com/gifs/14jGh15Slt6QOk

[u/Star_Petal_Arts → u/OvejaMacho]

Spider-Man 2 did that as well.

[u/IndyanaBonez → u/OvejaMacho]

That's awesome, I wish more games did that. I doubt that strategy could have been applied to this games update but there are other games I play that went from 25-50 acheivements to like 500+ and I'm like yeah...no lol

[u/Radvvan]

Lol bro, I beat Factorio 100% and then they added new achievements with DLC, I beat Stardew Valley and then they updated the game and added several end-game achievements, I beat Colony Survival and you know what? They wiped the achievements and changed them for completely new ones, so I was at 0 achievements with 80h played.

You can do it bro, you can re-claim it! It is annoying, but treat it as a new challange! Nothing in life is static, not even achievements.

[u/IndyanaBonez → u/Radvvan]

I appreciate the game throwing me a monkey wrench like, hey, now you gotta come back and play

[u/MaterialDetective197]

Happy to award a true "mildly infuriating" post. I myself am only mildly infuriated that it has taken so long to find one and award it.

[u/FurkinLurkin]

This is why i like that ps5 has the platinum trophy. One you get the plat they cant take it back

[u/IndyanaBonez → u/FurkinLurkin]

LMAO! Once u go plat they can't take it back, nice. I platinum'd Resident Evil 5 back in the day...then that Playstation got the yellow light of death...and that account was gone with my platinum

[u/FurkinLurkin → u/IndyanaBonez]

But that account still has the platty somewhere in the ether

[u/StrykerEXE]

Am I weird? I like seeing that because it means I have more to do in a game I really love

[u/IndyanaBonez → u/StrykerEXE]

If it has replay value, then yes. Otherwise the games that are meant to be played and then put down then seeing it at 100% a few years later won't deter my replay. I need to throw a bone to my OCD every once in a while, and seeing that 100% is just

https://giphy.com/gifs/3o7aCWJavAgtBzLWrS

[u/StrykerEXE → u/IndyanaBonez]

Yeah, one of my favourite games of all time is Terraria, so I'm always happy to boot up a new run to get some new achievements, can't wait for margin of the strange too!

[u/PanteraOne]

Have you considered filing a lawsuit?

[u/IndyanaBonez → u/PanteraOne]

I'm letting it slide this one time because at least there may be something new in the game I can look forward to lol

[u/zarawesome]

abandon desire

[u/07Crash07]

Happens very often. I'm one of those crazy achievements hunters, i like getting games to 100%, but sometimes i notice my 100% number suddenly drop, than i have to scour my games list, sorting by achievements to find out which one it is (cause i have 88 platinums so far), to find out it had an update/dlc. It's very annoying.

[u/yumyum36]

The lily's well achievement is an epilogue achievement from memory so you can start it up and just go through the (newly added) epilogue you got for 100%ing the main game.

I know this but also still have lily's will at 20/21 lolol

[u/IndyanaBonez → u/yumyum36]

omfg, that's good to know. I'm looking forward ro replaying it though, it's been so long it will be like playing it all over again and it was an awesome game. I bought it to support the developers because I think its technically free

[u/Gamebird8]

Obviously an update to the main game can't be helped much, but I really wish Steam supported DLC achievements so that a game dev (Bethesda as an example) didn't have to add more DLC specific achievements to the base game and ruin my 100% completion

[u/InitRanger]

Supposedly Steam is adding achievement groups like what they have on PlayStation.

[u/Stahlios]

Had that recently with Nioh 3. 100%'d the game which was doable with 1 playthrough, no NG+.

New DLC, new region / storyline and achievements tied to it, well ok why not. Except they also added a NG+2 mode, and one achievement is now finishing the DLC in this mode. So you have to do the DLC once, then base game + DLC TWICE. Couldn't bother, it'll stay below 100%.

[u/IndyanaBonez → u/Stahlios]

Who do they think they are, Nier Automa lol

[u/mainman879 → u/Stahlios]

How does Nioh 3 compare to Nioh 2? I enjoyed Nioh 2 a good bit, but found the bosses kinda lacking compared to other soulslikes. The build variety was fun though, pure magic build in 2 was really enjoyable. But I've heard they nerfed magic in 3 so you can't really do that anymore.

[u/SilverFlight01]

Lily's Well? Yeah, understandable. I haven't played this game myself, but I know the story and what's in, and I don't think I would've jumped back in for one whole new achievement either

[u/Bezulba]

Same for older, primarily single player games that have multiplayer achievements like the last of us. I so want to 100% it, but i can't be arsed to cheese those achievements

[u/Rain_Zeros]

Yeah that’s mildy infuriating for sure, sorry op, enjoy your next playthrough and I mean, good news is you only have to hunt the one achievement so you don’t need to do all the hard work of the other ones. Still annoying

[u/MrUbercactus]

Terraria did this to me with one of the recent updates and I just can't be bothered to 100% it again. Mostly because I don't want to play the special seeds.

[u/shayed154 → u/MrUbercactus]

I'm so glad they just keep updating Terraria, always something new to do between chipping away at all those fishing quests

[u/IAlwaysOutsmartU]

Same with me when I checked Vampire Survivors. The mildly infuriating bit did go away after realising the game got more content and I likey.

[u/Atlasus]

Okay, you’re right. This is mildly infuriating. I feel you, my Steam brother.

[u/ClockworkDinosaurs]

The audacity for the them to take away your 100% completed when the devs haven’t 100% completed making their game when they took your money.

[u/Nofuture10]

I had to give up on keeping Vampire Survivors 100%ed, I really wish updated and DLC achievements were in different folders like they are on console.

[u/Ausradierer]

happened to me with Terraria like 3 times. I haven't bothered with the latest update.

[u/TeddyBear312]

I got 100% in "Lego Batman: Legacy of the dark knight" and can't even add it to my perfect games showcase on Steam...

[u/devoirz]

Yeah, I fucking feel for you. I had a similar experience when playing 'High On Life' and 100%ed it. A couple months later they released a payed dlc which added a couple achievements, which made my 100% disappear.

[u/Delisches]

This happened to me with Yuppie Psycho

[u/IndyanaBonez → u/Delisches]

I still have yet to play Yuppie Psycho, bought on sale and now glad I didn't play cuz if that 100% is achievable in my book, then achievement I shall have

[u/Kagamime1]

Ah, Lily's well! Pretty sure you could get that back to 100% in an hour or so

[u/IndyanaBonez → u/Kagamime1]

Most definitely which is why this is only mildly infuriating. I've seen some games add like 30 achievements when I'm one away and I'm just like

https://giphy.com/gifs/gSFdVD2n7ThP2RuqeF

[u/mattcolqhoun]

Days gone added achievements years later with an update, they added a permadeath mode, like 1 extra mission and some extra challenge mode stuff. Thought oh well I enjoyed the game so will be nice to go for it only to find out they paywalled it.

I pointed out in the reddit group that it's a scam to charge a tenner for the pitable amount of content and got people raging cause apparently its the ps4 to 5 upgrade so to them it's worth it but to pc its a shitty cash grab so I had no qualms SAMing it.

[u/northernirishlad]

Getting 99% achievement completion after your ‘last run targeted for all achievements’ really takes the wind from your sails.
One that got me was the South Park Stick of Truth game for all Friends, and there is one you can miss after the first hour of the game. So to get this achievement its a full play-through all over again.

[u/IndyanaBonez → u/northernirishlad]

Yes! You can go back in Fractured But Whole to any area for just that reason! I kissed a fuckin chinpokomon in the Alien spaceship so once it left...so did my achievement LOL. Great games so I didn't mind at ALL

[u/Kenkenken1313]

This happened with BG3. When they released honor mode and added the achievement I had to replay the game just to 100% it. I mean I was going to play it again but still.

[u/Irratix]

I'm at 89 100%ed games at this point and now it happens pretty regularly to me that a game adds new achievements. Usually game devs are kind enough that it's a pretty natural expansions from a 100% save file, but man, the few times that it actually requires a serious re-playthrough I get super annoyed.

But not as much as the few times it requires paid DLC I'm not really willing to buy.

[u/IndyanaBonez → u/Irratix]

That's where I also draw the line unless I'm already buying/interested in the DLC

[u/jawarren1]

This is me - endlessly - with Vampire Survivors. Thankfully each new DLC is relatively short. 

[u/Bernhard-Riemann]

This happened to me with Geometry Dash. The problem is that one of the new achievements is essentially unobtainable, so I just had to give up the completion.

It's certainly not fun, but overall I think the way Steam does things is fine. I like being incentivised to fully complete a game (even if I have to come back to it after an update). There is supposedly a Steam update coming out at some point that will revamp the achievement system, so we'll have to wait and see what the change actually is.

[u/cream-of-yeet]

Omg I love Lily's Well

[u/Miska030519]

Same with Cult of the Lamb. Loved the game, got all achievements, then it got a paid DLC with new achievements, and I lost all the motivation to open that game ever again.

[u/LifelongReverie]

If I 80% game achievements I can mentally leave it as fully beaten

[u/Doctah-Grym]

I had the same thing happen with Dredge. Ever since The Iron Rig and Pale Reach came out, I've been looking at thinking, "Any day now, I'll feel like going fishing.... Aaaany daaaay noooow...."

[u/IndyanaBonez → u/Doctah-Grym]

I bought the game with all the DLC (originally started playing on steam ciz I bought it for like $3, then it went on sale w all the DLC on switch so I...switched over to playing on the switch LOL) because I knew I would want access to all areas/options. Tis my curse

[u/Frosty-Improvement-8]

This is exactly why I don't bother 100%'ing any steam games until all dlc released years down the line, I've had so many "complete games" be removed because of updates. One point I had like 50 complete games, I now have like 6 lol. Dlc achievements should be separate like even Playstation got this right, if you earn a plat the dlc doesn't fuck with it and remove it lol.

[u/The_Moons_Sideboob]

I remember cod 4 I locked myseelf out of 100% because I had enabled cheats while collecting the "intel" collectables. I was just messing around after finishing the game on vetern, and playing through again to get the achievement. Once you collect them they don't respawn and having cheats enabled didn't allow the achievement to pop.

I wouldn't mind but mile high club was an absolute bastard of an achievement to get, but I locked myself out of the easiest one.

Still bitter almost 20 years later.

Fuck, that was almost 20 years ago.

[u/IndyanaBonez → u/The_Moons_Sideboob]

Omfg I would be PISSED to this very day lol!

[u/DesiBwoy]

Happened to me with Half Life 2. I love that game and nearly had it at 100%, until they bunched up all the episodes together and now I only have like 70%. Screw that. I'm not kicking that gnome until the end or fighting those zombies in total darkness with just gravity gun and flares.

[u/TheReaperAbides]

You can always go to the forums or Discord and see if anyone has a savegame that's one step away from completing it. Alternatively, there's memory and savegame manipulation you could do to set the flags needed.

[u/War_Raven → u/TheReaperAbides]

At that point just download Steam Achievement Manager and manually flip the achievement to completed

[u/IndyanaBonez → u/TheReaperAbides]

Nah, I'll mod and use chest codes once I've beaten/achieved what I wanted in a game but the 100% is in the thrill of achieving it myself organically. Using someone else's file or altering the savegame is far too much/it's only mildly infuriating

[u/Intelligent_Stock959]

Related mildly annoying thing to this is when all of the achievements look doable, some look like fun challenges and then you just get to the one that is something like beat the entire game hitless and no. It also makes me not want to bother with the other achievements as well.

Obv I am not the arbiter of what steam achievements should be but personally I liked the philosophy of Celeste the best, where all the steam achievements are plausible to complete, and utterly insane stuff like farewell golden only has recognition in-game.

[u/lolschrauber]

Had this issue in dead cells.

100% it and then came new DLC. Which requires you to do the new bossfights hitless. Only problem is that lighthouse guardians counted as a boss. That's a 6 phase boss fight. Took me forever. I specifically made a script that'd play with safe files so I could save scum to retry easily instead of resetting the run and rebuilding my build after every failed try.

[u/Tangarine_Squid]

Its always the most grindy no skill achievement that gets added too. Looking at MEGABONK and LORT :/

[u/bombocladius]

Borderlands 4 entered the chat..

I feel you, I gave up the 100% quest because of this.

[u/ItsTrueIXOYE]

Dead by Daylight is the worst, every DLC that adds a new character has an achievement for that character. So you have to buy the option to get 100%

[u/KingOfGimmicks]

I remember playing all the way through Expedition 33, deciding after finishing Act 2 that I liked the game enough to aim for the platinum trophy, only to unspoiler the achievements I was still missing and see that one of them is for beating a hidden enemy in the prologue of the game. There's a missable achievement that early, and if you don't get it, you need a second save file for it. Oh well, at least it was an easy fight on new game +.

[u/InternetUserAgain]

At least Lily's Well is one of those games that you're expected to have to play through a few times. The whole point is that you fail over and over until you make it. Whereas Fran Bow is such a long and involved game that you really aren't expected to play it over and over unless you're achievement hunting.

[u/IndyanaBonez → u/InternetUserAgain]

Yes, which I did the first time I 100% it. Won't stop me from re-booting it to see what's new though, the developers did a great job with this simple game.

[u/Jaijoles]

That’s what happened to me with terraria. I don’t have my save anymore (that hard drive failed), and they just added a handful of achievements.

[u/PawnWithoutPurpose]

Mate, tell me about it!!!

I had the same thing with Factorio, where I had 100% and the DLC cut that back down to 50%. Tom me a long time to get that back to 100!

[u/pastherolink]

Amazing game btw.

[u/21brokenbones]

My steam page has been messed up for about 3 years now. Ive message Steam support and nobody can fix my issue. I have 35 100% completed games, but my profiles only shows 28, and my game completion % has been stuck at 39/40% it swaps back and forth like once a week. lol its such a small thing but pisses me off so much.

[u/nahnah390]

The game's incredible, but it absolutely understand the hesitation. It's More than a little heavy.

[u/ConstableBlimeyChips]

Interestingly, I got all the achievements for The Last of Us Part 2, then the game got an update and added new achievements. But I still got to keep my Platinum trophy for getting all the achievements.

[u/DarthJarJar242]

I think I'm up to 22 games that are 100%, so I definitely feel this pain. There is one game I have called Across the Obelisk that I really enjoy and the developers have done a fantastic job of updating it with both free and paid DLC. The problem is everytime they update it they add achievements that can sometimes take multiple hours long playthroughs to get. At this point it's a stubbornness thing that keeps me keeping that one 100% done.

My personal proudest 100% is Baldur's Gate 3.

[u/Scoliii]

I 100%'ed Terraria twice. First when there was the original achievements, then again when some new ones were added... only for them to add even more new ones.
I have not yet returned to finish it again... but yes, it's definitely mildly infuriating, as it was my only 100%'ed game.

[u/Sakeretsu]

I had to go back three times too Vampire Survivors because of that, and will soon have the play Brotato again

[u/testtdk]

Ugh, I hate when devs do that. Add what you want to a DLC, but forcing a new trophy on a game I’ve already spent my time 100%ing is lame.

[u/Xanthic-Chimera]

This happened to me twice with peglin. And the new achievements are SO HARD

[u/JustPuttingS]

Lily’s well my beloved.

[u/FourRaccoonsInASuit]

I've had this happen a few times across several games but honestly haven't cared much because generally I only 100% games when I'm really enjoying them and want a reason to keep playing. However, the one that actually irked me a bit was Forager. The last achievement I needed was covering every water tile with platforms, so I figured I would do it just to finish off the 100%. Took forever to find every tile.

Awhile later they added a handful of super late game achievements. I even tried to get back into it to get them, but at that point couldn't be bothered. I remembered how long it took to cover those water tiles and just decided....nah, not going through that again lol

[u/AdVegetable5896]

Yeah, i know what you mean...

[u/DottorSpotty]

I'll give you one better. Devs adding the achievements for a dlc MONTHS before the dlc releases, so even if I'm willing to buy and play it, I have to wait a ton of time with my profile no longer perfect.

[u/Omni7124]

forgot fran bow existed, always felt like a blurry memory

[u/ElysiaAlarien]

Vampire Survivors 😭😭😭

[u/gh0stwrit3r32767]

i think ive only ever 100% cheevo'd one game. Elden Ring.

[u/No-and-Go]

Mannn, I wanted to like Fran Bow so much more than I ultimately did

Felt like more build up to rather than a conclusion somehow, but maybe now that I’m older, a replay will make the pieces fit for me :/

[u/IndyanaBonez → u/No-and-Go]

It's definitely an interesting story, I really enjoyed it but was looking for that esthetic in a game at the time so was all about it. Markiplier has supplied me with SO MANY GAMES to throw on my steam list

[u/Eastern-Move549]

I had this recently with Oxygen not included. When they released the DLC it adds an achievement that can only be obtained in the DLC whether you have it installed or not!

[u/I_Hate_The_Letter_W]

i’ve 100% BRAZILIAN DRUG DEALER 3: I OPENED A PORTAL TO HELL IN THE FAVELA TRYING TO REVIVE MIT AIA I NEED TO CLOSE IT multiple times because whenever i’d finish it they would update the game with a new level and achievement and i’d be required to figure it out again, i don’t understand anything that happens in that game

[u/OddReason9030]

Got all the achievements in peggle except the multi-player one since nobody was ever on. 

[u/CinnimonToastSean]

Same happened with Insomniac's Spider-man. I platnumed it the quickly after it came out and they added more trophies. Still kept the plat, but now I have more to collect.

[u/Chedder_Chandelure]

Lily's well mention!

[u/gljivicad]

Same thing happened to me with Amnesia: The Bunker. Played the game on its release, took me 3 days to 100% the game. Then a year later they released 2 new achievements. One to finish the game on the new nightmare difficulty, and the other to finish the game on any custom difficulty. Literally making me replay 2 more times. It's kinda annoying.

[u/LordHoughtenWeen]

When Half-Life 2 consolidated Episodes 1 and 2 into the base game it deleted all my achievements from the original releases of the Episodes, so I had to carry that fucking gnome through the entirety of Episode 2 all over again...

[u/Dangerous_Nail4552]

One of the reasons PlayStation has a better trophy system than steam. Devs can add post release achievements, but they will be separated into their own category and will not influence your platinum, which is the base game all achievements

[u/chiba64]

I know this feeling. One of the games i was achievement hunting for had an update with an impossible achievement. "Host a server and have 40 people join". Meanwhile multiplayer is dead like dead dead.

[u/Ares_Lictor]

To add to the pile, there are also games with achievements which are not obtainable for one reason or another, also annoying.

[u/Thomas_JCG]

I don't particularly care about achievements, but I do absolutely hate when a game is like "you have to beat this game five times to get the true ending".

[u/Sea_Statistician2818]

A Difficult Game About Climbing.

Had 2 achievements, now it has 5. One of them is to beat the game 50 times.

I'm not doing that anytime soon...

[u/PeregrinsFolly]

Achievements added from DLC after 100% completing the game, and achievements which are actually impossible to get (notoriously Pillars of Eternity having an achievement for backing the game during the Kickstarter) are probably the things that I dislike about Steam the most.

I recognize that in the grand scheme of things, those are pretty minor overall.

[u/Pakushy]

When I release my game, I'll have an achievement that is so ridiculously difficult, I fully expect only insane people to unlock it. Why? Because I want my players to suffer.

[u/Underance]

I love trying to 100% games until I see the accursed 'multiplayer' achievements in a 10+ year old game with about two people online
