anyway a pretty obvious achievement for an FE would be 'complete the game without resetting when a character dies,' ie an ironman, but its hard for the tracker to see that ig

for fe it would be cool to check an achievements aggregator afterward to see roughly telltale style how people played the game ie for blazing blade who recruited dart vs geitz, who found karla, how many people finished normal vs hard modes etc

dead rising asking you to kill 53,594 zombies and l4d asking you to kill 53,595 zombies ftw

the most tedious game "achievement" I ever got was a million roses in we heart katamari and it and the way I did it (idly twiddling the sticks while I watched pirated anime for like a week) was very similar to how I got the dead rising kill the population of the town achievement (driving back and forth running over zombies in the service tunnel) and while the experiences disabused me from completionist tendencies moving forward it also hyperaccelerated the cooking of my attention span because I was watching anime and playing video game at same time

i can understand it as a motivator to accomplish certain tasks you might not otherwise do(beat a boss without taking a hit, etc)

i think in game cheevos that reward you with goodies or art etc are cool. not a fan of external cheevos like ra/steam/etc. happy for anyone who enjoys
i like the achievements that give you stuff in OTHER games. Like when you earned achievements in poker night at the inventory and got shutter shades for the demoman in TF2 because you won them off of Strong Bad at poker

not a big fan of absurd achievements though. Like stardew valley achievements are like, "plant a carrot" "give marnie a present" "beat this minigame shooter arcade game all the way through including the final boss without dying a single time"

I like doing achievements that are a fun and unique challenge. But I don't have any firm idea of what qualifies, it's just sometimes I see one and I think it sounds fun and sometimes it doesn't

I do respect those achievements that are just "beat level 1", "beat level 2", "opened inventory", "beat the game" and so on because I like seeing what percentage of people actually finish the game

doing the bare minimum is so much more gratifying when you get to learn that 70% of players did not do the bare minimum

i don't like trusting achievements as a pure objective stat because i'm not actually sure how representative they are. it's like steamcharts, i get some idea but mostly i feel like i'm just eyeballing poo poo

also i hate hate hate hate hate how many times people in mainstream spheres will justify moronic design choices by pointing to them. no, the design of god of war ragnarok is not explained by the statement that people did not finish hitman absolution, i would be scared if people did do that

I think achievements would be more fun if you could sequence break em in stupid ways


Yes I beat Yakuza 5, please ignore that I have cheevos for beating every chapter except 1 and 3. Just had a regular one over here.

i like cheevos more when they are in line with playing the game (finding all secrets, no-hit run, pacifist run, ironman) and less when they are absurd or time consuming (million roses, one A press, sequence break)

I still chuckle when I remember Rogue Galaxy had a bikini costume for one of your party members that required you to do the hard mode 100 floor post game dungeon. My expectations were that it would be something gross but honestly as far as bikini costumes go it was pretty cute looking. The bigger issue was the game gave you a SECOND costume for doing the same dungeon all over again and it was a "just a dude" costume for a party member who wore a mask the whole time. Very funny.
