This achievement was purely a grinding achievement, just requiring me to tick up the body count. I had accomplished everything else in the game that I had intended, so all I had to do was rack up enough zombie kills to unlock this one. The most distinct of these achievements that recently came to mind for me is the “Left 100,004 Dead 2” achievement from Dead Rising 4. Some require you to reach a certain level within the game (I’m currently marching slowly toward the “Certified Grand Master” achievement for Tetris Effect: Connected). Some achievements can only be earned through multiple playthroughs of the game, such as those often found in Mass Effect games. Achievement hunting fit perfectly within that framework.Īn achievement may extend the life of a game through several means. Naturally, this would often draw me to games with lots of collectibles, branching plot choices, grindy leveling systems, and games that were highly replayable. Growing up as a budget gamer for most of my childhood and early adult life, I’ve always tried to maximize the value that I get from each game. There’s also a social element available, allowing people to see the games their friends have played and see how similar your taste in games is. But it is nice to occasionally browse the various games you’ve played over the years, especially the ones you forgot about. There’s not much to these types of achievements from a gameplay experience they merely serve as a record of the games you’ve played and how far you progressed. This is how I, and perhaps most, players are introduced to achievements in the first place. The only requirement for these is that you make progress in the main game. These are the achievements that you unlock simply by playing the game, purely incidental to your regular gameplay.
So today I’ll share some of the value that various achievements have to offer. I anticipate that there are many gamers out there who have never delved into the world of achievements. Rather, achievement hunting for me is a personalized process I’ve developed to enhance and expand my gaming experience. I wouldn’t consider myself an Achievement Hunter “purist” - that is, seeking to reach 100% for every game I play (though I have managed to do so for a handful of games).
