No Achievements = Non Buy-nary
Can anyone be kind enough to explain me how is this possible in 2025 that some games still don't have Achievements?? Yes I'm writing it with a capital letter because it's important for us hunters! 🫎

While I salute the recent initiative from Ubisoft to add them in their games (never too late right?) I can't believe games without achievements aren't actually BANNED from this platform! Because YES they should be! ❌

Conclusion ? Solo games without achievements are boring and a waste of time. End of story. :steambored:

That's it for today wish you all a happy gaming take care of yourself 😑

In fact guys there was a time long before I didn't care about achievements because they weren't a thing. Now I do.

I still think this is a nice innovation and a nice addition to videogames nowadays. Indeed it made us hunters! Plus adds a bunch of challenges and hardens the difficulty sometimes.

What's your opinions?
That achievement hunters and achievement hunting is not the demographic for basically any Developer.

I would actually be more willing to bet the various achievements are more made to see for most games, how long someone plays a game for, or how much progression they make before they stop playing, which is why so many achievements are very very basic. Lots of games basically have an achievement that you began or played the very first stage/level of a game, so if you see something like "25% of players have this" for an achievement for just starting to play the game, its either a really bad game or its just a shelf piece from a bundle on a bundle site.

Challenges are easily done by finding guides online and difficulty is questionable. I'm sure 3.1% players will gladly accept achievements for Assassin's Creed Black Flag...

It also killed immagination and creativity among gamers.
Need to be told to do anything these days it seems.

I don't much care about "kill 100 enemies" or "finish the game".
However i do like "challenge" achievements, like "One Free Bullet" for HL2ep1 because it requires the player to play the game in a different way to get them.

Didn't a thread of this exact title get made weeks ago?

Anyway, not for forcing achievements.
You need to make 10 to get the "Posted it again" achievement/trophy
Seriously, if you absolutely need achievement to enjoy games. Perhaps you should start buying better games because whatever you are playing sound like a waste of time on my end.

Well anyway guys I think you got my point and I still think that this is a necessity to remove games from Steam that don't have achievements. They have no business here!

I really hope Steam could take my suggestion in consideration. A waste of space in the database if you ask me...

Achievements are wasteful space.

They add nothing to the game and actually encourage people to 'create' games that give 1k+ achievements just for launching them and end up clogging up the store.
Ya, 57,000 games, not even 350 that have 1000 or more achievements. That's clearly what clogs up the store.

Steam will never remove games for not having achievements, you on the other hand are free to not buy them if its a deal breaker.

The overwhelming majority of people don't care about them at all, so your in the minority. If anything they should just remove the achievements altogether as THOSE are a waste of space in the database

Why should I not be able to buy them?
I see achievements like little kids collecting trading cards like pokemon cards. I am not insulting it i just see it as another way to collect things in a game, like fetch quests in rpgs. I can give or leave it. I do not mind games without acheivements. OP is going to hurt himself with some classic games they will never play like chrono trigger, Paladine's quest, etc. Alot of pre-xbox games never have achievements. Alot of great games too.

i have nothing against achievements, just never included them into anything myself. i don't mind when they are for something that is hard/difficult to achieve but despise when used for pretty much everything. I've played a number of games where I've beaten the first boss and unlocked an achievement, something I feel doesn't require it. However something like "Defeat first boss with no damage taken" may be worth noting.

I also feel that if a game focuses too much on achievements that it tends to lack quality elsewhere in the game overall. "Yeah these achievements are fun and all, but why does each level pretty much play the same with no real satisfaction" comes to mind. Not all games are meant for achievements because using the previous example of a game that pretty much plays the same, something such as pac man which is near and dear to me i feel needs no achievements. That is purely a high-score arcade game, nothing more, nothing less. In fact i play my legal backups and use retroachivements as I feel some old games could do with some.

There is also the elephant in the room of SAM, i have no opinion on it one way or the other but the fact remains that unless something were changed to render sam (and other forms of unlocking achievements) useless, adding achievements will essentially be fruitless for developers as at the end of the day it'll boil down to the spending time to add achievements to their game that they otherwise would have not only to have some people use same to unlock them in an instant. I'd suggest sooner figuring out how to fix achievement unlocking (on pc at least) and then we can suggest ways to use achievements better.

They won't. Look, I like achievements. But they're nothing more than a means for you to feel good about yourself.

People tie them to self worth too easily, and now, there's games out there with like 1,000+ achievements, all of which you can unlock in under 5 minutes.

You should of course! But with achievements included!

Devs should put more efforts to satisfy ALL gamers! Not only those who don't care about it. But also achievements hunters like me!

And I tell you what if a game is not available well you should blame the devs for not putting those achievements and badges. Some games have built-in achievements and not in Steam and that's acceptable. Still they should get a warning for this ⚠️
