What determines a game's "Perfect Games" list entry-type?
Not a problem, just curious...

If I from my profile go to Games -> Perfect Games I'm at the top of the list presented a number of games with at the left side the game name/picture and on the right side a bar showing e.g. "24 of 24 achievements earned" and the last 5 such achievements pictorially presented below that.

That however stops a bit further down: the last so presented game is for me "The Silent Age" with 24 achievements, with "The Inner World" with 23 achievements the next one and listed with just the left side name/picture, same as all others from that point on.

Trying to decide why the difference was, seeing as how the games seem to be listed by total number of achievements, it seems I'd need to conclude that "games with 24 or more achievements get the pretty entry and those with fewer the boring one". But what the bleep? Why? 24 seems rather random, and moreover, why would there be any number to decide "pretty level" of the entry?

Tried to google it but could not find it. Does not seem to be a matter of "maturity" as to number of reviews for a game or alike as some hits seemed to indicate: the cutoff is purely numerical and moreover, a big game such as DoubleFine's "Costume Quest" (with 21 achievements) is in the "boring entry" category whereas the mentioned much smaller game "The Silent Age" gets the pretty treatment...

As said; clearly not an actual problem. But still curious: could not figure out any logic...

Depends on how they are tracked. Online/offline tracking.

Either I do not get what you mean by online and offline tracking or I have to "No" this again

I would assume query-overhead. Some people out there - legitimate or not - have thousands of games perfected which would then cause this page to not only query what games those are but also the achievement-list for each game

100% achievement rate. That's all.
Yujah Dec 17, 2020 @ 7:43pm 
No; all games in the "Perfect Games" list have 100% achievement rate; that's what makes them perfect games.

A perfect game, according to Steam, is one where you got all the achievements. There's nothing more to that.

Your 10 latest games will showcase the actual amount of achievements as well as some pictures of I assume your last achievments earned
The rest only gets listed without showing any amounts or progress bars and what not

No it didn't but the question was quite unclear here. OP is talking about why his first games on this list...

Ah, damn, again; please read the question before answering if answering at all. I know what a perfect game is. All games on the Perfect Games list are perfect games. The question is about some perfect games being displayed one way on said list, other perfect games another way.

Depends on how they are tracked.

Also no, it seems. I had already deleted my reply to ReBoot that you quoted since during writing it Sazzouu posted a more relevant answer. Seems that simply the first 10 on the list get the "pretty entry", rest not. As to why....

I do not have an official source on that one though. However that is the case for you, me and a big chunk of my friendlist where I checked that out so seems pretty obvious I would say :emofdr: I'll try to pinpoint it though since I have seen that question quite a few times already

I wish it was done like how playstation has it where base game achivements can be 100%ed and DLC achievements dont count toward this and are extra optional achievements which will still count to your overall achievement number

Thank you; I hadn't noticed it was precisely the first 10, but you are right that it is. Does not seem to be latest 10 games to reach full achievement, but the 10 fully-achieved games with the most achievements: the list is ordered by said count (and my no. 1 is "Lucius" with 58 achievements which I did years and years ago).

So, that answers the "24 appearing rather random" part; thanks; the cut-off is not 24 achievements, but simply first 10. What remains is: why?!? :-)
The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

Ah. Yes, that works great as a complete answer as far as I'm concerned. Makes perfect sense; thanks again.
