Underwhelming/Boring Achievements

[TheScywow™]

Am I the only on who finds the achievements boring and pretty unimaginative?

They are pretty much just finish the levels, you can't really miss them, except one. (The mouse droid)

They provide pretty much zero replay value.

They could have come up with pretty good and fun achievements like:

-Find an Ewok.
-Find a secret.
-Find all secrets.
-Find "Max" from Sam&Max
-Get boosted by a Thermal Detonator/Mine
-Get defeated by a dianoga
-Get defeated by Boba Fett
-Get 9 lives
-Finish the story on Medium/Hard

They could also come up with fun Star Wars reference names for each achievement like "Short help is better than no help at all" for the Ewok (Han Solo quote) or "At least it wasn't a trash compactor" for the dianoga, or "Put Kyle Katarn in the cargo hold!" for Boba.

So much potential!

I don't know, but the included achievements feel so lazy and lack imagination.

What do you think?

Yea I'm surprised there wasn't at least the find all secrets achievement and a Hard difficulty achievement.

[sonderkraftfahrzeug]

Those are good ideas. We can add them to The Force Engine when achievements are implemented

[palpie]

Agree with this. I expected achievements that required a bit more than a quick run through on easy.

No garbage collectible achievements has me interested. Absolutely drained after collecting treasures in Monster Hunter World for literally 10h the past couple of days

I dunno... the original game never had achievements so playing it now, I just want to play the campaign like I did when I was a kid. getting any achievements at all is a fun little bonus, so I like seeing them pop up when I progress the levels, but I have no interest in seeking out obscure out of the way secrets or doing certain skillshots to get them.

Achievements wouldn't affect your "purist" playthrough. It would only provide replay value, fun challenges to do after a normal playthrough.

I enjoy hunting down achievements/trophies in other games after an initial playthrough.

no but this way, I get to play it the way I enjoy it, AND get the completion.

It's nice to see this for a change though, all the secret areas in the Turoks was annoying.

Never played that one.

I just meant that I enjoy the additional replay value some achievement provide in other games. (I also enjoyed hunting meta/platinum trophies on PS.)

I like how good achievements can make you enjoy the game you like/love even more.

[Pua]

Yeah, I was surprised by the simple achievements. Not a big deal, but some of the achievements OP listed would have been welcomed.

There is often something hidden, especially with the old games. Dark Forces 2 for example "Max"

You call this "imaginative"? I call it uninspired busywork, that I've seen countless times in other games. "Find all collectibles", "find an easter egg", "100% the the game on the highest difficulty"... How original.

I don't have to, current achievement situation is already better.
