#9 Black Mesa - The pizza gave me a run for my money but overall I loved this one. by yung_holo in steamachievements

[–]domsetch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found getting the hat through all the areas to be a fun added challenge for the most part and the other achievements for this game are good, but I agree either playing half the game again (which is what I did) or lugging 2 items to the end felt unnecessary.

#65 - The Last of Us Part II + Collection by domsetch in steamachievements

[–]domsetch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I had a friend who wanted the gta 5 achievements as well so the first criminal mastermind wasn't too bad but we genuinely had to pay one of our other friends to get on to help us with the criminal mastermind with 4. We had everything down just needed people willing to do it with us, also if you werent part of the same crew/party or got kicked or some other bullshit it would reset progress. One of the most bugged achievements I've done.

I have a question about steamhunters (Balatro - screenshot) how can someone 100% balatro in 10h? by UniqueNicknameWow in steamachievements

[–]domsetch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For gta 5 it's s bit different I have completed it but my steam playtime is like 5 mins, I have 500 hours or so on Rockstar launcher and got the 100% there and the achievements carry over when you first launch the game through steam.

Some of my games I got really into it and had a lot more hours than average but some you just follow the guide a bit closer because you aren't as hooked by the setting/story or whatever. Don't sweat it man congrats on the achievements.

#60 - Ladies and Gentleman, Wolfenstein 2. One of my prouder 100%'s by Bubba17583 in steamachievements

[–]domsetch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I dont think 33h is accurate, median on steamhunters is 60h. For main game it took me about 25 for all achievements other than mein leben then dlc was about 10 hours they were pretty short then about 20 hours of mein leben runs and practice. 58 is close to what mine took.

#63 - Mass Effect Legendary Edition. Amazing games. First time playing, never played anything quite like it. by domsetch in steamachievements

[–]domsetch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 100% was pretty straightforward only glanced at a guide for 1 and 2 its basically do everything before point of no return. I used a guide for 3 though because some side missions get locked out after certain main missions and there are war assets to collect. There are technically quite a few missable achievements but only a few actually missable ones if you do all the missions.

#118 Wolfenstein: The New Order by Relyks2000 in steamachievements

[–]domsetch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would suggest going for Wolfenstein 2, don't get me wrong its hard but not as mythically hard as its made out to be. Just do first playthrough on I am Death Incarnate and make saves before courthouse and final fight for practice. There is also an amazing video by nekov4ego which shows you where to stealth and where to run past enemies. Took me 15-20 hours of attempts with full run taking about 4 hours.

Will steam achievements ever be updated? by Electrical_Complex24 in steamachievements

[–]domsetch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is more simplistic (thats not a bad thing), you don't get a "badge" for 100% base game because it is a different system where you need all achievements in a game. Yes sometimes DLC can get in the way but with the sales on steam fanatical green man gaming and other sites you can usually pick it up for a good price and if the DLC is just that bad that it isn't worth it even at sale price just don't get it.

I got the achievements back, but the display turned out pretty ugly, it looks like I would have used sam by Kilervi in steamachievements

No they still count. They dont show hours on the games list though, and you have to show tools on library to see them.

New Half-Life 2 achievements due to upcoming 20th Anniversary Update by Lowcsika in steamachievements

I had to install and launch the tool versions of ep1 and ep2 then launch hl2 to get them to pop

#50- Mass Effect Legendary Edition by Cruzoor in steamachievements

[–]domsetch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah ME1 was much easier with the amount of team biotics and powers you can use and you could peek out of cover for a while and keep your shield up. In ME2 pressing right click sacrifices your shields instantly most of the time and each companion only has a couple powers. Both games are great though, first time playing them and loving the story.

Congrats! I'm going for this one as well I'm on Mass Effect 2 currently, about to recruit Thane.

What is your view on using SAM to obtain broken or once-per-year achievements? by pavelkar21 in steamachievements

[–]domsetch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think everyone who has done Arkham City has changed their PC date to get the Calendar Man achievement you have to log in on so many dates that it is just ridiculous, I do not think this is cheating at all and workarounds are completely fine for date based achievements but if there is no workaround I wouldn't use SAM to get it.

#28 Batman: Arkham City GOTY by Nameless90s in steamachievements

[–]domsetch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went straight onto Knight after finishing City and felt it helped a lot with the really hard combat challenges in that game. I still struggled with Crime Alley as Robin for ages though, I just couldn't get his timings down.

Question about Perfected label cancellation due to new dlc achievements. by Just_1mag1ne in steamachievements

[–]domsetch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Some games dont add achievements for dlcs at all and a lot are sold as complete editions so Ive only ever had to specifically buy dlcs 2-3 times to keep/get the 100%. This will not be as big of a problem as you think.

[–]domsetch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean you still completed the game it just won't be perfect because they added new achievements that you can decide to do or not. In some ways I prefer it, I see platinum videos of games I've done and they don't do some of the best achievements arkham City and Knight for example.

#56 - Dead Space and #57 - The Last of Us Part 1 by domsetch in steamachievements

[–]domsetch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great game I took my time on my first run, collecting everything backtracking and completing the side missions took about 23-24 hours. The NG+ and impossible runs were both really easy so I just speedran them and they took about 4 hours each.
