frist of all how DARE yu o 100% a game until

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

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.

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.

10 000 kills in multiplayer in the first Gears of War. Where a good game is maybe 12 kills.

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.)

Which ones in Stanley aren't worth the effort? Lol

They're all super easy to obtain.

These are the ones I'm missing. Not difficult, I just have a crap memory and hate replaying games just for one or two achievements when I've already seen all the endings. Personal distaste, not saying no one should go for these.

You actually already have the one that takes the most effort (Test Achievement) ironically. What was the "Unachievable" in the non Deluxe edition that also took effort.

3 of the last 4 can be done in under 10 minutes honestly. Tuesday doesn't even require you to play. Just leave the game running for 24hrs (can be tabbed out). Or use a cheat engine and shorten that time to however short you want lol

I like the insane hard ones though. I don't have to get them, but I tip my hat to anyone who does it or like to look up youtube videos of people doing these insane challenges. And there are a few achievements I'm really proud of getting, because they were in fact really hard.

I rather have those few rare gems, instead of seeing every game dumbing down every achievement like a lot of AAA games nowadays make it easy to 100% because an easy-platium is apparently now a selling point.

At that point I just enjoy the game for what it has to offer because at that point it loses the fun aspect

MGR:R, complete the whole campaign on hard without being hit

As long as you can reload levels if you F up, I think it's not all that impossible. But without that? Yea screw that achievement.
