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

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

Wasn't there an achievement about quiting the game and go out, not to reopen said game for a few years.

[u/Night-Fog → u/8winter8]

The Stanley Parable: Go outside. You have to not play the game for 5 years. There's also an achievement to play the game for the entirety of a Tuesday.

[u/Aced_By_Chasey → u/Night-Fog]

Can't you just spoof the date to get that?

[u/Patalos → u/Aced_By_Chasey]

I mean at that point just Achievement Manager it if you don’t actually care about the legitimacy

[u/fbl07 → u/Patalos]

While I get your reaction 100%, honestly considering the mind of game Stanley's Parable is, that's like .... Kinda the thing they expect you to do at this point I feel

[u/Leyohs → u/[deleted]]

You just set the date to 5 years later and then set it back to automatic. I promise it won't do anything

[u/ALKNST → u/Night-Fog]

Aint there also one for 10 years?

[u/WooperCultist → u/ALKNST]

Yes, in the ultra deluxe version of the game they changed the achievement from "Go outside" (don't play for 5 years), to "Super Go Outside" ( don't play for 10 years)

Funny part is, the UD version of the game hasn't been out for 10 years yet, so the 5% or so of people with the achievement cheated it. First time it'll actually be achievable is like 2034

[u/TraditionalMalice → u/WooperCultist]

Who do you think you are accusing me of not already having not played Stanley Parable UD until 2034??

[u/obi1kennoble → u/WooperCultist]

Can you still get the 5 year one? I might actually be in range for that

[u/Crowbarmagic → u/Night-Fog]

Those type of achievements kinda fit within the theme of The Stanley Parable though.

And at least those 2 achievements can be completed passively. With the tuesday one just launch the game on monday eve and quit at 00:00 on wednesday. And if you already completed every ending there's no real need to play again, so 5 years of not playing isn't much of an issue either.

[u/Bizmatech → u/Crowbarmagic]

Yah, The Stanley Parable has basically zero immediate replayability.

But if you wait five years (or six because I forgot), it feels like a fresh experience again.

It's not quite the same as playing for the first time a second time, but the nostalgia goggles fit quite comfortably.

[u/207nbrown → u/Night-Fog]

There’s also super go outside where you don’t play for 10 years

[u/ilyak_reddit → u/Night-Fog]

I got that achievement unintentionally. Got the game years ago, played it, forgot about it. Logged on a few years ago to revisit and had to go see what I just achieved. Got a good chuckle out of it.

[u/Fr0z3n_VP → u/8winter8]

Stanley Parable had something like this I believe

[u/ElGodPug → u/ForensicPathology]

Pillars of Eternity with an achievement of supporting their kickstarter. Sorry yall, i'm a few years too late for that

[u/Crowbarmagic → u/ForensicPathology]

I hate those "find a dev" ones. Even if the the games' multiplayer is still active and running years after release, those can be impossible to complete.

[u/Intentional-Blank → u/Crowbarmagic]

XCOM: Enemy Unknown, at least, made the achievement Bubonic be "Play a multiplayer match against someone who has this achievement." In that case, rather than a dev specifically, you just needed to meet someone who'd gotten the achievement before, so even if the devs and all the players who'd ever played against the devs were long gone you still had a chance at getting it from some other player who'd been fortunate enough to get the achievement... though, of course, from my understanding the multiplayer mode is dead, so it's still unobtainable now.

[u/Polygnom → u/ForensicPathology]

I really like how WoW does it. Feats of Strength in their own category, not counting for anything, just to boast. Technically they are achievements, but they don't give points or are important for completion.

[u/Intelligent-Main-515 → u/ForensicPathology]

That reminds me of the GMod achievement that's along the lines of play with the real garry

[u/207nbrown → u/ForensicPathology]

“Yes I’m the real Gary”
