Perfect Game (Gaining all Achievements) Question

[eXeZ|Gamer433]

Hello all,

I'm wondering what will happen, if you got all achievements (getting a perfect game) and then there comes (e. g.) a DLC and brings more achievements.
Now, my game isnt perfect anymore. Does this mean, that i will lose one on my counter for perfect games, until i reached also the new achievements?
Or do you never lose it?

I've not come across that on here myself, but I'd be surprised if it'd be any different to other platforms (where I have done this on PSN and XBL).

The point is you DID EARN that perfect score AT THAT TIME. So if they add DLC and more achievements, it's moot. That only applies if you haven't maxed already.

I know of know achievements "providers" that remove anything, even if it were something innocuous like this. It wouldn't make sense to do so, and would probably be an exercise in becoming a complete mess, inviting problems.

It's happened to me before. Yes, your perfect games count will go down.

Really?
Well colour me surprised as that's bonkers.

Maybe an oversight though as you DID earn all the acheivements and perfected it at that time, as it is on other platforms.

Weird, and if so I stand corrected.

I don't think it's an oversight. Your perfect game isn't "locked in" once you attain it; Steam simply sees that you don't have all of the achievements and adjusts the number accordingly. Valve isn't exactly known for caring about how others run their platforms.

Here's an example, a very short and free visual novel, perfect for achievement hunters. A couple weeks after release, they added another achievement, and some people in the comments were upset because they had to play it again.

Thanks alot for your answer.
Your linked thread is from 2016. No changes in 4 years?

Whatever. On 27th October, there comes the new DLC of Graveyard Keeper and then i will see if i will lose my perfect game.

You know, I'm just posting here wondering..
Why do people even bother with those achievements. Especially indie game developers seem to like adding rediculous goals as if it means something.
Would you collect all Golden Bananas in donkey king 64 if it would show on your profile?

Anyway on topic, 100% Orange Juice is an example of a game with very random achievements that rely on randomness and dice rolls of random circumstances.
and people want to perfect it despite it getting DLC every few months and more achievements getting added to the list (if you don't own the dlc you cannot perfectly complete it)

Neptunia Re;Birth 2 makes you complete the game 12 times over. Trillion does this as well, because you need the endings in One Save Game to get the last achievement. e.e;
Why--
I mean doing Hard Mode in some games is difficult enough if you want a challenge. These achievements though, they seem like a grind fest of wasted hours.

Yes, but what I'm talking about isn't really subject to what others fo - I just included that for reference.

It's a matter of logic. AT THE POINT OF IT HAPPENING, they did attain a perfect number of achievements.

It seems just weird to take it back afterwards (even more so if it's like say, the Fallout series where DLC accounts for added achievements and you don't want to buy that DLC).

I'm looking at this precisely the same way as the common occurrence of newbies when they moan about a game they purchased went on sale a couple of days after.


The key logic there is the same - at the point of the action (sale) you got it at the price you wanted, so the agreement was made then.

I'm not saying they should change it or anything of the sort mind, I just find it weird for that reason.
