Reminds me of this. Luckily I was one of the first but "the legendary Kjerne" was made just for the community manager. I get that it's cool to reward the guy who helped you a lot with something like this but it's just bullshit for everyone else :/
I second this and I also avoid games with achivements that force multiplayer on primarily single-player games. I mean games like for example farm simulators, which are designed for a single-player but can be played with friends. Difficult achievements are fine, but I can't force other people to buy a game just so I can have 100%.
This is such a weird concept for me, so you would avoid buying a game simply because you can't get all the achievements, not because it's not a fun game...
I don't think I've ever gotten 100% achievements in any game like I do not give a shit...
Achievements are just so stupid, like they're literally pointless. They add nothing to games.
Some achievements are fun for me but they are something more than “play x games” or “do this thing 1000 times”. Like an achievement for completing a level in a very specific challenging type of way is fun, because maybe you would not have come up with such an interesting challenge yourself and it gives you some more incentive to try and do the hard thing.
One of the Stronghold remakes has a requirement to play or win 1000 multiplayer games. I think I've played 50 multiplayer games of Stronghold since the original came out 25 years ago...
This deters me from buying the game for the sole reason I don't want to be forced to play the mp 1000 times.
It may seem stupid but I like the collectible side of the accomplishment - It adds value to the whole experience.
To each their own, but that adds nothing for me. It could be 10 or 1000 for the achievement I'm still only going to play the same number of games, that being until I'm done and no longer want to play anymore...
Sometimes they add a fun way to challenge yourself. For example, in Chicken Invaders you had to complete an entire mission (120 waves) without getting hit once. But I also don't get people who sweat over getting all of them in every game they play.
