Achievement hunting has changed from 'we want you to see all the cool aspects of our game' to "we want you to spend the rest of your life playing our game' - it wasn't a good change

Good achievement: “Carry the garden gnome all the way through the game.” Bad achievement: “Slay 10.000 zebras.”

I have achievement hunted some games and it was purely "I like this game, here's something to do in the game"

a lot of achievements i see nowadays go like this -achievements you get by completing required missions, bosses, etc. -doing something thats semi interesting or goofy - complete EVERYTHING as PERFECTLY and as FAST as possible without a SINGLE mistake -do a single mediocre task for 6 hours straight until youve done it enough

Let's be fair to Breath of the Wild, Nintendo NEVER intended for players to collect all 900 seeds (this was literally said in an interview). The abudance of seeds was made simply to cause the player to stumble across them constantly throughout their playthrough to level-up their inventory. It was actually a rather genius way of setting up a "pay to level-up" system in an open world game. You only need about a 1/3 of the seeds to level up your whole inventory anyway.

My favorite achievement I remember was in Half Life 2 orange box on xbox 360. There's a part where you can use a magnetic crane to take out some Combine soldiers, if you do you got an achievement that said "Not OSHA Compliant."

I love unique challenges as achievements. If it's just a completionist grindfest I think most people are tired of that.

used to be a hardcore completionist until I realized how mindless I was doing most of the tasks consequently feeling like I am wasting my time. So as long as it's engaging and in line with the main gameplay loop, I'm fine with it

I do appreciate games where achievements help me find secrets i missed. Vampire Survivors and Remnant: From the Ashes come to mind recently

Assassin's Creed 4 is on Steam. Most game's achievements boil down to "do X 3000 times" or something really difficult instead of being hints to an optional area or item you've missed.

Agreed. It is a grind fest most times. I cannot be bothered. I don't even finish most games I start now days, let alone 100% them.

Video game: in a deep narrative moment Achievements: OMG! You're playing the game! Hey! HEY! PAY ATTENTION TO THIS!!!

For me, it depends on the game, but there's a very small handful of games I've 100% completed on Steam. Probably my favorite implementation of achievements is probably in Plants vs Zombies, because it's not really a grindfest, but more so, challenges that make the game a little bit harder that you're unlikely to try in normal gameplay.

I finish the game then check the achievements if the things i missed are easily doable. If it's a crazy grind, I'll just nope out.

The achievements for Halo 3 and ODST were by far the best I've ever done. I will never forget the time I spent with my friends unlocking the Recon armor

The developers don't want you to find the stupid items, they want you to buy a map update that reveals the location of the stupid things.

Depends if I find the games achievements fun to get. I treat each achievement differently depending on the what is needed to get them and who are willing to use achivment manager or not.

Achievements just give you a little something extra to do in a game you love when there is nothing else left. After I unlocked literally everything it’s fun to do this stuff.

I stopped caring about being completionist on achievements once there was ones for completing the game on each difficulty level, which was very quickly after they started being a thing. I am not replaying a game on the hardest difficulty if the game didn’t grab me enough to want to replay it ever again in the first place on normal difficulty. And once one game destroyed my interest in that, all the rest followed soon after. My absolute favorite game achievements are ones that popped up for you doing something funny you weren’t expecting achievements for, because it showed that the game devs were self aware and knew what game they were making and for what gamers. There is nothing quite like throwing a can in someone’s face and hearing that “Do-Doo!” Achievement unlocked.

i never got out of my way to get anything unless the way to get it is actively fun. im more lenient to handheld games though, since handheld games for me are really just a way to waste time while waiting for something(commute, lines etc)
