Custom game still allow you to gain achievements

[Kibermozgai]

As someone who admire clearing any game for 100% I feel bad for anyone who honestly got "toot sweet" and "got it in one", since you can still unlock both on custom mode with no difficulty whatsoever.
Most games dissalow achievements on any settings rather than default ones. And some even disable it on easy difficulty. But here you can now get it pretty cheap. The fact that it was added later and not on release makes it even worse. I wonder if it's supposed to be like that or devs just missed it?

I dont think its that big of a deal.

I got those achievements legitly by playing on easy with a time of about 32 minutes glitchless (this means not flipping the prison door switch through the window)

Who cares, its digital badges, useless. If you wanna get them "legit",then do that, dont get in the way of others fun.

There is an achievement for playing through custom mode. It's intended. It doesn't ruin base game experience for people and custom game opens only after completing game once on any difficulty or using "super secret code, shhh don't tell anyone" developers posted on their public twitter.

I 100% the game on release and i don't care if people have "easier time" getting any of the achievments, because for myself, i got them legit, by playing the game normally.

I kinda get that logic, but for me devalue achievements in such way more or less the same as saing: "piracy is fine, if you want to play legit, just buy the game, but don't get in the way of others fun, if someone want to pirate the game - it's fine, it's their choise".
Like, nope, no, it's not fine.

No it's not. You are gatekeeping people from using mechanics that game provide them, by arguing that it somehow devalues your achievevments, when this isn't even a competition.

It's like saying that "fun" need to be removed from the game, because it devalues your "unfun" way of playing. Basically implies your purchase of a game is more important that theirs purchase of a game.

To be fair, there are also people that download the achievements online.
The point of achievements is that you achieve something. If you want an achievement just for show go ahead! But in the end, you know what you earned with your own strenght.
I did my Honor Mode first try and fairly and I'm proud of it, I don't care if some people just downloaded the achievement.

Custom game is not about gatekeeping it is about letting the player choose the experience they want with the game. "Toot sweet" is not much of an accomplishment compared to the "In Recovery" Shellshock completion achievement because the latter has more consistency with regard to it`s challenge.

Can't devalue something that has no actual value. It's a personal thing, you see? I don't have all achievements, but I've completed the game on the maximum possible difficulty, and that's my "achievement". It's all personal, you see?
