may very well be the problem, it seems good achevements are the exception. especialy the no-effort ones, like 'beat chapter one', or 'equip your first sword'.
they have to matter somewhere or else they wouldnt exist. the thing is, they exist now because other game have them, i do have to wonder what the original reason for achevements is...
Broken and unobtainable are also bad.
Good achievements are challenges for player and/or allow them to explore more content in the game without missing anything worthy.
Some achievements in FTL are grind, but you'll reach them anyway playing all ships, so it doesn't matter. Ship achievements and "feats of git gud" are quite good.
See achievements in Gods will be Watching for example, i think they're good. Player most likely would like to try those things himself anyway or would be interested to partake in a challenge. Also that game is brilliant in itself, another look into human society vs aliens society in another form. Also it's hard like FTL.
But if the ones for doing them on normal and hard would be separate achievements from easy, it is safe to say your average completion rate would take a huge plunge.
Also, out of the silly achievements like "Play the game for the first time" you can see how many people who own the game actually played it.
I seriously seen some games where 20% of the players don't have it, I know it may be that case of buying too many games on a sale and forgetting.
But I never understood how can you buy a game and never play it...
Unsolicited advice? Take a step back. Cheevoli can be fun, games are rad, but all things in moderation. You've got a *life* to achieve. And gaming is a part of that, no doubt. It's a great hobby. But maybe give yourself a cheevo for hitting the gym. Do the dishes without being asked? Cheevo. 3.0 GPA? You know that's a cheevo. Take a risk on asking that cutie out? Cheevo.
Then buy one of the best games I've ever played, ever ever ever, FTL, and start racking up those nourishing (in-game) cheevmondos.
Who cares about other people's achievements
Then there are times when they are bugged and no one bothers fixing them.
I'd have 10/17 of my games 100%, but two games have two bugged achievements each, and even though I did what I was asked, they don't unlock.
So anyone who has a 100% completion rate on everything, most likely did research and bought only those games that are easy enough to 100%.
At least FTL not having achievements means I don't have to bother playing Fed and Zoltan C at all...
But it *has* acheivements in-game. So the challenge layer is right there. The only thing is they don't show up on steam so you can't check out those of others (you can still brag about your own if you screenshot the menu - so do that).
