Did you ever cheat to get Achievements?

There are achievements in certain games that are broken. For example, I spent hours in Civ 5 trying to unlock the 'We Are Family' one - where you need every capital on an 8 civ map to be your religion. Filled out piety, Hagia Sophia, and Leaning Tower of Pisa as well as naturally generated Prophets later, I find out the achievement is bugged. Great.

There are also games where achievements are not based on skill or luck, but instead outside of the realm of gameplay. Gmod insisting I need to meet a dev that doesn't play the game anymore? Awesome. TF2 demanding I get 100,000 views on a YouTube video? Outstanding.

I'm not an autistic piece of shit, I don't care about achievements.

>>390032141
That said, I haven't cheated yet. But I fully intend to once I get every single other achievement in those games, because I don't want those unachievable goals lingering on my Steam profile.

Payday 2, mainly those "Lol, you require 4 players, goy" kind of shit achievements

i turn all the achievement notification shit in steam off and play video games.

>>390032230
What's the point of even cheating/using unlockers for those pieces of shit? They're just there for the hardcore players to pat themselves on the back over. Really wanted a shit looking mask?

>>390032153
Cool, maybe you should've fucked off instead of posting

Yeah, once, because it was needed for one of Steam's holiday sales.

>>390032342
Some weapon mods are locked behind those achievements and frankly that's all I care about.

>>390032347
Don't be so butthurt you fucking subhuman.

>>390031375
I don't give the slightest shit about achievements, so no.

>caring about achievements past the age of 18

When I was fucking around with a debug menu program for Dark Souls I accidentally clicked a button that got me all the achievements on Steam. I actually have like 7 hours of playtime.

>achievements
Sorry i dont have that kind of time to spare over bs.

>>390032509
There's objectively nothing wrong with achievements.
>caring about what other people care or don't care past the age of 18

>>390032598
>needing a virtual carrot on a stick to get longevity out of your games instead of just playing them and enjoying them for their own sake

define cheating

when tf2 needed achievements to unlock weapons, i would get organized with friends so we could all do the unlocks

outside of that i don't pursue achievements

>>390032635
>needing
You can be playing video games and enjoying them for their own sake AND enjoy getting achievements in the process. There's no contradiction between the two.

>>390032694
>achievement unlocked: started the game
>achievement unlocked: finished chapter 1, 2 and 3
>achievement unlocked: killed 10 dudes
>achievement unlocked: killed 100 dudes
>achievement unlocked: won a multiplayer match

Wow this is really enhancing my videogame experience

>>390031375
Usually the grindy ones in single player games.

>>390032758
It objectively doesn't take away from your experience either.

>>390032347
>P-people violating my safespace and calling me retarded for filling up a board with shit?
>How could this possibly happen on /v/ of all places?
Kill yourself, retard.

I'll just play through and get any achievements I get. I don't go out of my way to chase anything unless it specifically takes my interest.

You have to be autistic to care about achievements.

>>390032758
>achievement unlocked: started the game
I like those ones because they tend to turn up on meme games and you can see how many people have actually bothered to even attempt to play them. Shower with your dad sim has only 70% of the people who own it have even opened the game.

>>390032201
Do you avoid meme games with meme achievements?
Like the stanley parable's "don't play the game for 5 years" or "unachievable" which is just given randomly to random players

>>390032817
>objectively
Stop throwing this word around when you don't know what it means. Achievements like that are superfluous as fuck and there's no point in them being there if they don't add anything. Achievements popping every 2 seconds is enough to take away from the experience for plenty of people.

>>390031375
Cheated to get achievements, no. Don't really care about achievements anyway, except the kind that are challenging and not a grindfest. Even then it's the challenge, not the achievement itself, that interests me.
I can't say all the achievements on my profile are clean, though. I've cheated for plenty of other things, and gotten some achievements while doing that without aiming for them. I'm not autistic enough to go relock all 'unfairly' unlocked ones.

>>390032963
>given randomly
Lol no SAM

>>390032964
>Achievements like that are superfluous as fuck and there's no point in them being there if they don't add anything.
You're objectively wrong.

>>390033000
>no I didnt cheat for achievements
>but I actually did

>>390033083
He's saying he didn't cheat specifically for the cheevos. He was cheating and the cheevs were secondary.

>>390031375
are there really people that care THAT MUCH about achievements?
like Jesus Christ, its the type of thing where even though you have always 'known' that it would be the case, you don't want to believe it because of how retarded it is

>>390033407
>people who literally cancelled their pre-orders of Sonia Mania because it didn't have a platinum trophy

>>390033605
And people complain about legitimate reasons to refund like a two week delay for fucking Denuvo on a game literally built through reverse engineering.

>>390033407
Honestly OP image looks like it's from site where people compete to see who has the most of them
It makes sense they would ban for cheating them

>>390033698
Wait, what. Why would a site like that even exist? Do people really care about achievements that much?

>>390033884

>>390031375
No. Also, it's pure autism to care this much about them.

People willing to cheat their achievements are generally also willing to cheat at the game.
See: CSGO

>>390033884
You didn't know? Consolefriends buy cheap games just for them cheevos.

>>390034085
I remember back in my 360 pleb days people would rent some shitty Avatar game because you could get 1000 gamerscore within 5 minutes playing it

If I think the game cheated me out of the achievement, I will unlock it manually.

>>390034085
I had no idea that was a thing. Then again I haven't touched consoles in the last three generations so it's no wonder I'm out of touch.

>>390034028
Welp. Thanks I guess.

>>390032963
Actually I got every achievement in that game besides the 5 years one. I fully intend on unlocking it legitimately, and sending a screencap as well as my detailed thoughts about the game to the dev.

>>390031375
>have 50 friends in Torchlight II
Nope.

I use SAM if I rightfully deserve that achievement.
For example, if I played a game for 200 hours but it's easy to unlock said achievement in 50 hours

ninja gaiden 2. when it first came out, the medal trophies had a bug where, if someone had already beaten the mission at gold, silver or bronze level, you could just watch their video and you would get the achievement. they patched it 3 days later.

i missed out on gold. i'd never play that legit. ha

>>390031375
I've never used SAM or shit like that, but I've abused that dead cat glitch in order to unlock the vast majority of The Lost's cheevos in TBoI:Rebirth then blamed it on Ed's incompetence.

>mods disable achievements

fuck you

>>390033025
Unachievable is given random.
And the 5 years one just change your computer time.
No need to SAM.

>>390031375
I used SAM several times when I did everything the achievement required and still didn't unlock because it was glitched/broken.
Then I realized the existence of SAM alone trivializes achievements, and that basically they're fucking retarded so I stopped caring.

>>390038813
The thing is achievements also have personal meaning. You did everything the game asked of you over time? That's awesome. Some kid drops his 520/520 TF2 achievement profile in a trade server all with the same minute, hour, and day of unlocking? Not so awesome.

wut?

>>390039267
Achievements mean fuck all. Most of them are just tracking progress, not even achievements in a traditional sense. Not to mention their very existence mean people go out of their way to complete them, lowering their perceived value.

After Valve put on some standards for trading card drops, some devs had to find alternative ways to sell their shovelware.

>>390031375
I always use cheat engine to get all the covenant related achievements in Souls games by duping the required items rather than getting involved in shitty multiplayer

>>390039517
Not true. To me, having a list of stuff to do can extend playtime and open up new avenues of playing. Booting up Civ 5 for random games got boring after a while, so I decided to test myself and go for all the achievements in that game. Means I play as every character in many different scenarios and as a result get better at a game that never really ends.

Steam users, please.

>>390031375
I did in TF2 and I got a crap ton of weapons

>>390031375
i don't cheat in the sense of using an unlocker or codes or hacks
i'm a programmer so for me it is entertaining in itself to program a bot to do repetitive things, but still it is interacting with the game the same way a player would (maybe faster) and performing each step. so for any kind of achievement that is like "do x 1000 times" i'll just whip up a bot to do it
and for stuff like clicker games, well everyone uses a bot anyway but i still have more fun in making my own

>>390031375

I never did anything the game didn't allow.

>>390041798
So you're a faggot
