If I took a time machine back to the late 90s early 2000s, yeah, sure. Yeah looking at you Assassin's Creed 3.Īs for bragging rights, um as far as I have seen no brags anymore about getting achievements.

And let us be honest, sometimes games have frustrating and downright idiotic requirements for achievements. One person can do X easily to get an achievement another can spend weeks trying and not getting any closer. I do not give two shits what a person chooses to do or not to do. Look, someone does this for an MMO, OK, I'm going to raise my ire. Honestly, if I had the means to download a mod to unlock, yeah I would have done it. And you know what? I was burnt out and had little desire to play any games for a few days.

It took me two days to finally get the last achievement and get the gold medal achievement. Well, I am terrible in those fighting trials. There was an achievement to get all achievements. I recall years ago, there was a game, Batman Arkham Asylum on Xbox. For an older game because I had no interest in replaying it several times over to get the achievements. Have I downloaded a mod to unlock achievements? Sure. Please, people have been cheating to get achievements long before Nexus came along. Yeah, you are opening a can of worms, but no one said you HAD to open it, much like no one told you to download those mods to unlock all achievements. I reloaded a few back saves and yet nothing.įirst and last stupid game "trophy" I have ever wasted my time on. OMG what a lugubrious pain in the backside chore.įINNALY I get it to the rocket ship, I call in my roommate to witness this event that I labored and lost sleep over, the rocket launches into space and. run all the way back thru the map to pick it up again and repeat on and on and ON! Drop it down cliffs or in deep water them retrieve it, get it to balance carefully on the dune buggy and it flies off "somewhere" every time you make a turn WHILE fighting and driving and evading the helicopter. The first achievement I ever tried to get was the "carry the stupid yard Gnome thru the entire half life games and put it in the rocket ship at the end of the game".

So I understand that a person can have very intense relationship with these dumb things and thus support your feelings on the mater. I always play my games off line and even use some mods to prevent the achievements when I can. Long ago I was mentally scarred by a steam achievementĪnd ever since then I have not collected even one If I could help it.
