Hospital and Salt Factory (and the Woods) aren't that bad, especially since you can do the levels in any order so you can knock out the 2-3 really hard ones first then run through the easy first half of the Hospital or the simpler Salt Factory levels.

I haven't gotten any of the other no-death trophies past those b/c it's way too hard, especially those Hell levels with the flying bat things. Those might as well be luck based.


edit: and yeah, being a PS+ game definitely skews some games' trophy rarities. I think only like 6% of people have even gotten the normal, you-dont-have-to-beat-every-level ending for Super Meat Boy.

I used psnprofiles, cool website, and it reminded me of a neat trophy i dont have. I got all the trophies in thomas was alone except for the one to die 100 times, and im never going to go back and get it, natch.

PSNProfiles is a cool website and great for all your trophy needs.

anyway mine is the platinum for red faction: guerrilla. 0.86%. please make a new red faction: guerrilla, whoever owns the property.

oh btw g0m said something abt Road Not Taken earlier in this thread and its probably the only time ive heard it mentioned on these forums. always thought it was very cool and underrated and also thought it would play great as a phone game. turns out it came out on at least iOS, maybe Android today for $5 and while I haven't tried it and can't speak to the quality port it's a really good puzzle game and it's extremely bleak and depressing and difficult. I paid $15 for it on PS4 and it kicked my rear end and made me sad and I loved it and imo at that price it's a steal. I guess I'll bite the bullet and buy again for my phone and see if the port's any good

this is by the triple town guys (good game). i remember hearing about this game before it came out but then it fell off the face of the earth. will try it out whenever the next steam sale comes

Considering 0.9% of Steam players have gotten the "beat Dark Cotton Alley without dying" achievement, I'd say 0.8% is just about right.

I think there's only a couple hundred people on Earth who've legitimately no-deathed EVERY world in SMB.

Double-posting to talk about what makes a "good" rare achievement. I think it definitely has to be some kind of action, something insanely tough within the game that requires practice. It can't just be a "collect every single widget in the game" trophy, even though lots of those are super rare (hello, Last of Us). It also has to be something concrete that isn't glitchy. Lots of games with "beat the game w/out killing anyone" trophies are like that - I legitimately beat Dishonored using only non-lethal poo poo, but because someone fell down a set of stairs and got eaten by a mutant rat somewhere that I didn't notice, I didn't get the trophy. Lastly, it can't be multiplayer-based: not because I'm biased against multiplayer, but every super-rare multiplayer trophy just ends up with people meeting online to 'boost' the trophy, so instead of people actually playing the game there's a meaningful contingent of people just grinding trophies and not having fun.

i'm more impressed by people beating dark souls on ng+++ to get the achievement for collecting every weapon than i am with somebody who beat desus ex or whatever using only the knockout gun instead of the otherwise identical murder pistol. but ok dude.

Dark Souls is the exception that proves the rule: getting all the spells or rings takes a crazy amount of effort and dedication. I'm talking about the lovely "collect all 107 audio logs/dog tags/special graffiti we stuck all over the place" trophies that every game has now, regardless of whether or not it's the kind of game that rewards exploration. Those suck and the reason they're so rare is because most people don't want to deal with that bullshit.

imo the tf2 achievements were worst initially, when they were (a) extremely hard and (b) the only way to unlock weapons. that's what really pushed people into playing on those horrible achievement map servers, from what i understand
