nightcraw1er.488: Yep, how we ever manage to complete games without knowing that we have pressed W 500 times and wasted 20hours playing it, I will never know.
adaliabooks: I'll just leave this info here:
The game E-Motion on the Amiga from 1990 was one of the earliest games that had some form of achievements programmed into the game itself. The game called these "secret bonuses". The game had five such bonuses, for achievements such as completing a level without rotating to the right, or completely failing certain levels.
adaliabooks: While I'm not particularly bothered about having achievements in every game the idea that they are some kind of modern idea is ridiculous. You'd be just as well complaining about the modern gamers' desire for 3D graphics...
There is a difference between hiscore tables, and things and today's totally pointless "achievements" which is rammed into your face on every gAme at every moment. Killed x orcs, whoopy fecking do. It's an artificial means to expand sadly lacking content, part f the modern industry bollocks I have come to expect. Next up, pre-order dlc achievements, you wasted £20 on a game that will never be completed, bingo, link this achievement to your wall so you can poke your mate with it.
Balema: P.S. Don't bother for the people that are not helping when they post because their goal is to feel alive! I ignore them.
Breja: But if you ignore us you will miss the "responded to everyone" achievement! How will you live with that? Can you imagine the dark, hollow pit of despair that awaits you?
Congratulations you have found out of despair achievement, share with twatter?
