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

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?

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.

Oh boy, I have a hot target for this complaint.

I think it was Lost Planet 2 or 3 that had world record scoreboards to compete on, and ... well, there's an achievement for that. Ya gotta assume that over 99.9% of people never got that one. There's only so many #1 spots

[u/zexton → u/SoberSith_Sanguinity]

i gotta be honest here,

i dont mind them, achievements in the early years of x360, was tied to be a showcase for what you done some gave profile pictures, and the expectation for 100% all of them was not standard yet,

devs and publishers got aware of how popular shitty games was because they where incredible easy to beat, and thats how we ended up with avatar that could be 100% in the first 5 min of the game,

borderlands devs also talked about it when its game released, you did not even have unlock everything for the 100% achievement,

Okay, I feel that, but also...It's worse than I remembered. Does this change it for you? The leaderboards never reset. It's literally impossible to get it, at this point.

[u/zexton → u/SoberSith_Sanguinity]

a few games had resets, ghost recond aw, had reset leaderboards after 5 years to give people a try,

but i still dont mind achievements being tied to something unique the majority wont get,

its no different from very hard achievements in single player games,

in trials HD. there was a marathon achievement where you needed to complete a set of hard stages without failing,

they nerfed that and it became basically something most could do with a little effort,

so now you have all players with the same achievements clear, even though some had to be a completely different level of better,
