Ghost trophies

Cool! 99 out of 100 achievements. What's next... multiplayer?

Eh. Close enough.

Or some other bullshit thing that's so hard it'd be boring. Or require an entirely new playthrough just to get the one thing. The worst is when there's an achievement just for doing the game again on the hardest difficulty. Fuck that. If I can't get the achievements in a single playthrough, I won't get them (and in fact I'll stop trying to get any of them).

Horizon Forbidden West is one of the very few games I've managed to 100%. Helps that they broke their achievements into some form of categories, so you can get the "100%" platinum trophy but they can have the bullshit trophies acting as if they may as well be for a different game.

They always have to have some ludicrously stupid and technical achievements in to just waste time for the 10 year old children with only one game to their name.

If your achievements have a less than 1% completion rate because of RNG, pointless grinding, or impossible feats, then it's not an achievement. It's Masochism.

And then there's Yakuza, which requires you to, among many other things:

  • Beat a tough optional opponent not once, not twice, but ten times

  • Learn mahjong

  • Get good at rhythm games

  • Collect and watch softcore pornography

  • Earn tens of millions of Yen in games such as Blackjack, Poker, Roulette, Koi Koi, and many more

  • Get really good at old Sega games such as Outrun and Fantasy Land

  • Compete against children in Slot-Car Racing (unironically a banger minigame)

And so much more.

Sounds like a freaking headache, the game is fine in its own good isn't it?

It's a great game.

Also those achievements aren't that hard. You have items to bend luck to your side in casino games. The tough opponent actually gives you BIG money, to the tune of trillions yens, and can be cheesed. And the old games are also very easy, I beat them on my phone from my bed using Steam Play.

It's a fantastic game, and 100%ing it isn't that bad. It just looks hard on paper. A really fun series even if you choose not to.

I agree, but also I don't mind it. Personally, I don't care about achievements really. I like them as a tracker of progress and what I did, but I don't care about the percentage. Having really hard ones is great for people who do care. It let's them get extra value from the games chasing that elusive goal.

It can be fun to look at the completion rate for achievements like "finished the tutorial", "beat the first boss" and "reach the good ending". In some games it's surprisingly low.

Terraria has a huge dropoff between cutting down the first tree and making your first workbench

Not only that but if I finish your single-player story-driven game once and have less than 50% of the achievements...fuck you

On the other hand it isnicento have achievements that are... you know, achievements.

I used to 100% all my games back in the 90's and early 2000's. By the time achievements became a thing, I was less interested in finding all the little things and more about continued fun against human players. The only games now that I have 100% achievements were those that were super easy to do without even going out of my way, or games I just really liked and took on the challenge to get all the achievements just to show on my Steam page. I have less than 10. And, to be fair, it would be a little larger had some of these games not added more achievements with a DLC that weren't separated from the whole list, making the 100% status go away.

I have sm64 an sm 3d land in there

Mario Odyssey for me!

Hey! That's pretty cool!

It was so hard to achieve the last missions but felt so rewarding after that.

I haven't played it but I am still proud of you : )

*Valve deleting my CSGO achievements*

From my understanding they are not deleted but hidden. They still count towards completed games. There was an uproar about it in communities that go for 100% in games.

The only game I've ever 100%d was Spiderman, and mainly because

A) they make it dead simple to do so, with an in-game checklist

B) it's just a damn fun game so that it didn't actually feel like a chore

Sonic the hedgehog 1, 2, 3, sonic & knuckles, quackshot, spyro 1, spyro 2, metal gear solid, the vanishing of Ethan Carter and supraland.

I think that's about it. Those are the games I dicked around in the most.

I've mostly 100% smut games. Mostly because their simple puzzles.

Thats my collection of Games i completed generally. I never Finish a Game. Except 5 Games i remember i completed. πŸ˜…

1 more...

One of the only games I 100%'d was DQ11 and I feel like that counts enough for one lifetime

I finish all games I play maybe its 10min playtime but if I never pick it up again then im finished with it.

You're not trying hard enough then, try harder

The only games I've 100%ed are Telltale games and some other thing that took 16 minutes.

I'm close with Rocket League, but the last couple involve club mates and none of my friends play it anymore.

Is this.... is this common?? I thought I was the one one...

I'm trying to 100% Watch Dogs 2 at the moment. I played it a long time ago and recently decided to replay it. I only have a few hours per week to play games so I've been playing it for a long time now (probably over a year at this point).

I've got nine on PlayStation.

inFamous Second Son, Grow Home, God of War, God of War Ragnarok, Death Stranding: Director's Cut, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Humanity, Assassin's Creed Odyssey.

Most of them felt like just finishing the game properly tbh. Only did them because I was still having fun after the credits rolled. Hardest of them was the optional GoW bosses by far.

Dark Souls is considered a hard game but doesn't have any particularly time wasting achievements. The only one that's a a mess is the one for all spells in Dark Souls 3 that requires considerable amounts of silver knight farming.

Dark Souls 2 also required a minimum of like 2.75 playthroughs (edit: on a single character) to get 100%, but it's still much more enjoyable than all the silver knight farming I had to do for 3.
