Not worth it getting all the Korok seeds in BotW

Hey, that’s not fair. If you complete the original 150 Pokedex, you also get a little diploma you can print on your GameBoy Printer.

I mean, it‘s videogames so any challenge that gives you the satisfaction of clearing it is worth it, any that doesn‘t isn‘t worth it. Could mean all of them are, could mean none of them are, and could mean anything inbetween. I‘m an achievement hunter so I go for those, but I‘m not super purist about it; if the challenge is to walk 40000km, I rubberband the controller lol

Collecting every item in Rabbids Go Home.

Stupid game made me think there was a secret moon level. I feel like the devs actually forgot to put in at least a trophy or something because it unlocks nothing.

I enjoy seeing the little achievement pop-ups, especially when it’s a rare one, but I almost never go out of my way to get any. Don’t see the point, tbh. I’m not interested in playing the game in a way that’s less fun for me, just to check an utterly meaningless box. I guess you could reasonably argue that every goal in a game (quests, completion, exploration, what-have-you) is meaningless, but achievements have always struck me as particularly hollow.

Challenges in action games are worth completing most of the time because they’re typically designed to either drive home the intended purpose of individual combat mechanics, or outright reveal mechanics too advanced to cover by basic tutorials—e.g. dodge counter in Hi-Fi Rush.

That one insane hour-long-wait shape trace in The Witness. Respect if you completed that one, not worth it for me…

As someone who has in fact completed both the original Gen 1 and the full Gen 2 Pokedex (including Mew and MissingNo.), I genuinely can’t imagine playing through a Pokemon game without at least completing the regional pokedex. Collecting the creatures is what I play those types of games for.

And the reward isn’t the little completion diploma Oak gives you to print out. It’s the self satisfaction that comes with finishing your goal. Like getting all the achievements in a game; I don’t get anything whatsoever for that, but I still like to do it. Because I’m a completionist.

Okay but like, Half Life 2 is similar to Citizen Kane.

A revolutionary piece of media for its time that brought the medium as a whole forward.

And kind of a slog to get through now because we learned a lot of lessons about the medium since then.

Like I’m sorry, but you’re not going to convince me that the strider fights on your way to the citadel were actually good and definitely not a painful chapter that soured a lot of people ln the game. And Water Hazard is infamous for being very uninteresting to the point that people that play half life now joke about it.

Most collecting achievements are just game filler really. The ones I find interesting are ones that, in a more free-form game, create an interesting goal to work towards.

For some of my favourites I’ve on occasion gone through the list and been like ‘Yeah that sounds like an interesting objective.’

The key for decent ones is usually that they are an achievable goal for one playthrough that act as a ‘guiding star’.

Half-Life 2 would be a mediocre game if you lacked empathy for people in conditions where the protagonist (the player) starts.

I expected a really bad take, but this is not it. HL2 has strength, but the story is not it. It’s okay, but I want you to remember that the ending of HL2 is just not good - neither to ‘boss fight’ nor the deus ex machina ending.

Even the gameplay gets boring when you have the “op” gravity gun.

I prefer HL1 to HL2. The physics riddles are not hard either and I think Stratholm is only “horror” for people with no xp in Survival Horror games.

I hunt down achievements when I enjoy the game and the achievements sound fun and not busywork. If it’s interesting side quests, minigames, or fun challenges, I almost always do them. I also like playing at max difficulty when it’s fair.

If it’s about going through a checklist to collect 100 feathers or spending 50 hours learning the entire game by heart to complete some hardcore challenge, I’d rather do something else with my time.

Mine is completing the Pokedex in the original Pokemon games. All you get is just Professor Oak giving you a wink and a small few second cut scene. And a congratulations text. Imagine spending all of your time then, getting all 151 and even 252 pokemon just for that? Yeah no thanks, I never completed the pokedex.

Well, to me this is worth it, because the journey is. Zelda Tears of the Kingdom is a similar thing. Doing all of the work for just a checkmark is not really worth it, but the adventure and the fun I have doing all of this is worth it. I am not after the price, but after the experience. Therefore its worth it, if its fun to do.

Any “no death” achievements/challenges in souls-like games. I don’t see a point in struggling for weeks/months just for a small badge on my account.

On the other hand, 100%'ing certain games like Stardew Valley is definitely worth it. I won’t spoil what happens, but just know that it is worth doing.
