Developers and publishers use it in order to measure peoples interest in the game. With achievements like that they can see when certain gamers gets bored of the game.
A lot of use Weapon A X amount of times are also put there for reasons like that - to see what weapons are the most popular etc.
>Game has 20 achievements that need their own playtrough
>>320118904
I spent about 2 straight fucking hours going around in circles on that fucking Ratchet and Clank tower defence game. Good lord fuck it.
>>320118736
I think that's what Uncharted did and the rest were weapon/collectibles/difficulty related, though that was very early on for achievements/trophies.
Good lord I fucking hated Uncharted.

caring about achievements is no different from caring about 100% completions, Mega-Buster Only runs, unlockables, collectables etc. There is no need to be angry at achievements at all.

Fucking Ninja Gaiden 2 with its beat the entire fucking game with each weapon. Apparently you can get around it but that involves playing up until the final save point using literally nothing but projectile weapons.

I like those. It's a nice way to mark your progress for others to see, and talk about the game up to then.

I wouldn't say most games, I read anons post and I had trouble remembering what games actually do that. Maybe the crows in the first condemned and those two games you mentioned, but mostly certain collectables are used in some way, like for unlockables (you need BSAA medallions in RE5 to get all the toys) and I remember the spider-tokens in Web of Shadows actually was needed in order to level up/buy new skills or something ( I think they made it easier for you to sling around and climb, because new spider-tokens would appear at more far off places etc)
>>320119572
yeah I know, but they are also dated so they can see which one you get first and there is always going to be one weapon that fewer people have actually bothered to get the achievement for.

This is the single worst achievement I've ever seen. It's pretty much "play up to this part in every single difficulty".

Fucking hell. It was impossible to find multiplayer matches of RE6 pretty darned close to release, even.

What game? This doesn't happen at all in the DaS games.
>>320119572
Its reliability might not be up to scientific standards but if only 20% of your player base gets the achievement for one weapon but 95% does it for another, and that 15% of your player base has 100% of the weapons achievements (so they probably only used most weapons just for achievements), then you can probably ignore adding the first one into any sequels.
>>320119135
Only real example of this in action was when they were making Infamous Second Son they based it off of the Good Ending in that game because more people got the trophy for it.

No it wasn't. It was shiteasy. I think it is shiteasy now too. Maybe some console gamers have moved over to the steam-version though.
>>320118936
The fact new games still come out with multiplayer achievements is astounding. You'd think the bitching would have gotten to developers at this point, I mean, they have to code it all.

It was Chromehounds.
>Game has only one achievement
>>320119956
there are probably a lot of more examples we don't know of - I'm just repeating what I've read from interviews from certain developers. But yeah, I imagine endings and level-specific achievements plays a good part as well.

>>320120295
I swear game devs had no idea what to make of achievements in the early days. GRAW and a few others... bleh.
Are there any recent games that do this?

Fuck TF2 and its 500 some-odd achievements. Once I was happy that I had half of them then they kept adding more. I want to see someone who actually has them all
>>320120652
I miss the days of playing tf2 and grinding achievements on farming servers so i could unlock the guns faster. I kind of regret it but im sure i would have gotten a good bit anyway from playing

I've played MvM 1000 times yet still dont have the "play a full round as every class". I constantly have 2/9 and when I do complete a campaign a steam update pops up saying its at 3/9, but when I check it I still only have 2/9.
Normally I wouldn't be too upset at not having achievements, but I've lost my achievement progress on multiple source games many times over and now it says I dont have any portal achievements despite having 100 hours or whatever.
>>320121775
Devs give themselves the achievement, they play a few games giving it to other players like a digital STD and it spreads from there.
Seems like a pretty cool idea for an achievement.
>>320121218
What game? Is it something like "play with the dev team or anyone who has this achievement"?
>>320121515

You know those achievements are easy as shit right? Like, you pretty much have to play with one person and you'll get it. They're whats' known as viral achievements with the devs playing online for a bit after release and spreading it to other players who spread it to others and so on.

Achievements are the worst thing to happen to games. Why can't they be for normal fucking shit like finishing the game on a hard difficulty or doing cool combos or something that you'd actually want to fucking do.
100% the worst "innovation" of last gen. Worse than DLC, worse than day 1 patching, its shit, is fundamentally reshaping how people play games and not for the better.
>Game has an achievement that requires you to beat the game in easy mode
why
>Play entire game offline, get most of the achievements
>There's an in-game achievement tracker
>Oh that's cool
>Finally connect online for the online ones
>Achievement tracker required to get the achievement for getting all of the other achievements resets certain trackers

>They can easily be earned again though, except for

>I've already bought everything from the item shop
Fuck you Sega. Fuck you so fucking much. About 25 god damn hours of work or whatever it was down the drain. I was so fucking mad.
Please, someone here tell me that they patched that problem and I can go back to it and finish it off.
>>320122321
That's why the console version only went up to 75% completion for the achievement, I think.
