I remember watching in amusement as my housemate was extremely angry that day and thought “this thing is not going to catch on”.

My roommate was super excited and kept calling me at work to let me know how rough the launch was going with the servers having trouble!
I was a bit skeptical that it would last more than a few years before it would be a subscription model just to use it because of networking and infrastructure costs. So glad it has turned out the way that it has!

I was very anti steam when it first came around and only got an account once CS forced me to to continue to play. My join date is the beginning of 05 so you must have been a super early adopter!

Ha, this is almost my story too. Hadn’t played CS prior though, I got enticed in by CS:S and bought Half Life 2 and Steam just for that.

I started out on CS 1.3 and Day of Defeat, I played source a lot too but then after that lost a lot of interest in it. I tried playing CS: Go for a while but it was never the same as those early days in LAN cafes and on shitty slow internet :D

What about the inverse?
I got Satisfactory before the 1.0 release. I played most of the game before achievements were added. Now the achievement for “reaching the credits” is achieved but “finish the tutorial” is still waiting to be done.
inlandempire@jlai.luEnglish
26 daysWow that’s hard to figure out, I went looking for games I had the most achievement completion and tried to find which one had achievements most people had that I didn’t:
- I never scored 6 goals in one game in Rocket League (60.5% of players did)
- I never stabilized Gale’s Orb in Baldur’s Gate 3 (44.8% of players did)
- I never became the champion of Fort Joy Arena in Divinity Original Sin 2 (42.2% of players did)
- I never saved the Printer in Dishonored 2 (31.2% of players did)
- alsimoneau@lemmy.caEnglish26 days
Steamvault.dev makes this easy.
My best is 43.8% from AC Mirage, a hidden one called “The Shadow and the Flame”.

I’m glad to learn about Everhood this way. Do you recommend part 1 or 2 more?
- 27 days
To be honest, I haven’t actually played 2 yet. But the first game holds a special place in my heart.
The online consensus seems to be that the sequel has stronger gameplay and maybe even visuals too (the psychedelics in both games are a real trip), but the original has a far stronger story. Again, I haven’t played the sequel, but I suspect you’ll be better served by starting with the first one.
A lot of people draw a parallel to Undertale, and while they’re quite different games mechanically I admit they have a lot in common between their themes, characterizations, and the style of the overworld. Music in both games slap too.
Like Undertale, the game does give you an option to do a Pacifist run. Where Everhood turns things on its head is that the Pacifist run is an extremely crushing story - without getting into spoiler territory, let me just say I see a lot of myself in the Forest Spirit’s philosophy. It’s left a permanent mark on me.
By the way, that achievement is an absolute bitch and it’s not even the hardest one. To put it in context, I held the number one spot on the leaderboard when I earned it - although they reset the leaderboards quite often, so you too have a chance to shine.
- MarcomachtKuchen@feddit.orgEnglish26 days
Thank you so much for the elaborate review. I’ll see when my backlog allows for a new game, but I’ll happily keep it on my radar for whenever the mood strikes me

I’m this many years old on Steam and don’t know how to find my achievements on the mobile app.

If you’ve unlocked the “rare achievements showcase” on your profile, presumably using the desktop app, then it appears on your profile on the mobile app, too.
Behold! Not even getting all that far in They Bleed Pixels is my finest achievement, with only 1.1% of other players managing the same. What you need to do is focus on games that are old and unreasonably bastard hard, and rare medals can be yours.

I thought that and I looked at my showcase and they were all Modern Warfare (the first of the new reboots) campaign achievments around 0.3℅ and it made me embarrassed to post mine.
Seems you just need a major blockbuster where most people only play the multiplayer, which has also mashed all of its sequels into the same launcher and therefore included people who don’t even own said game in the “players who did not achieve this” percentage…
- BlaestEgnen@feddit.dkEnglish26 days
I believe the games which are openeded and only have whatever goals you set yourself, such as Paradox Map games or Cities Skylines are contenders for rarest achievements as well.
Especially when they have updates and new achievements added as time passes.
For Crusader Kings three as an example, most people can probably found the Dai Viet Empire - But only 0.3% of players has the achievement

Not as low as some other percentages in this thread but I was very proud to beat the last pantheon in Hollow Knight. You have to beat every boss in the game in a row without dying

Supposedly you just get it randomly, or posts on the web say you can modify an config file then use a console command to get it.

25 daysthe developer kept changing the unlock criteria to deliberately troll the players - while it’s appropriate for the meta commentary of the game, it made sure I’ll never play one of his games again D:

No offense, but that’s just a very dumb reason to miss out on games that you’d otherwise enjoy.
You do realize they’re not like a part of the actual game right? Nobody is making you do this.
kazerniel@lemmy.worldEnglish
25 daysI wasn’t that much of a fan of Stanley Parable anyway, that sort of humour is not really my jam 🤷
You do realize they’re not like a part of the actual game right?
For that game they are definitely part of its poking fun of videogames and gamers, it has other achis like not playing for 5 years, or playing for the entire duration of a Tuesday.
Nobody is making you do this.
Agreed, nobody is forcing me to play his other games either :) I just don’t like trolls, whether game developers or not 🤷 I’m one of those people who doesn’t separate the art from its artist.
- Jax@sh.itjust.worksEnglish25 days
I also got bored of the Stanley Parable, it reeks of a period on the internet that I’d like to be dead history. Granted, if this was babbies first meta-commentary then I understand why it seems so profound to so many people.
My view on this game is that it, much like Chronotrigger, is very bland. It introduced young people to a concept they weren’t familiar with, like time travel or meta-commentary.
If it’s for you, it’s for you. I’ll reserve what I think about people who (for some reason) could not conceptualize what time travel was before Chronotrigger, I will treat the SP the same way.

Not strictly my rarest

But I remember taking a good while to actually achieve it (FTL)
- chunkystyles@sopuli.xyzEnglish26 days
I just went back with the last big update and got all of the achievements I didn’t have. I had 100%ed it at least once before, but didn’t have any of the newer ones.

Close to my rarest, but very fun and surprisingly strong! From Victoria 3

In the same vein, I got this from Civ 5. Wasn’t even planned but it seems to be the rarest I have.

- Jerkface (any/all)@lemmy.caEnglish27 days
Thank you for asking!

My rarest achievement (0.3%) and most of the other rare ones were mainly for winning the Godly difficulty of the Neter campaign on From The Depths with my own creations. Each faction was its own achievement.
My second-rarest (0.4%) and proudest achievement is my tenth dan black belt in Toribash. I’m really close to custom belt but I haven’t played in like 20 years. Oh my god.

Lazy Bastard, Getting On Track, Raining Bullets, TIS-100, and a couple Noita ones
























I win! 😝
