Achievement Unlocked

 I don’t usually give up on game completions. If I decide to go for one, I usually commit to it. However, there have been a few exceptions. I planned on going for the completion on Far Cry 5, but at some point, stopped working towards it. I have all the base game achievements, missing only some DLC achievements and the one for completing the game on new game plus on infamous difficulty. I have put 84 hours into this game, with 82% of the achievements. I do plan on going back to this game as it is frustrating to leave it unfinished, but I am unsure when I will do this. This is due to being stuck at one part of the game on infamous difficulty which made me want to throw my Xbox down the stairs. Another game that I have gave up on for now is Assassins Creed 2. I played this game back in 2014 and unlocked 90% of the achievements. I recently decided to go back and get the last four achievements I was missing. My old save from my Xbox 360 had been deleted so I had to start a fresh sa...

  The next 100% that I am working on is Zoo Tycoon: Ultimate animal collection. I currently have 50% of the achievements and have spent 64 hours playing the game. This game is predicated on TrueAchievements to take 80-100 hours to complete. This was a game that I started playing casually with friends in 2020 and only recently decided to go for the completion. While time consuming, the game isn’t very difficult and is laid back so I’ve been enjoying playing it in my spare time, unlike other completions I’ve went for. Its not as fun as some of the other Zoo Tycoon games as it is less in depth with building and gameplay elements. In the other games you get to design exhibits, whereas in this one they are just pre-sets. You also can't delete walls in exhibits and allow your lions to escape and eat all your guests which is a real shame, but nonetheless it is still fun.    The next completion that I plan on going for is Hogwarts Legacy. This is a game that I bought on relea...

The first game that I unlocked 100% of the achievements in was The Walking Dead. As it is an Xbox 360 game, I have no way of tracking how many hours it took me, but it was one of my easier completions as the achievements are straightforward and the majority of them are story related. From what I remember, only one achievement could be missed. There was only one DLC, and only required one playthrough, so it just required me to play through the game and DLC to get the 100%. The next three games I completed were the next games in the Walking Dead series. The achievements followed the same format and were all simple for me to get. All of these were done January 2021 during Covid, before I was really interested in unlocking every achievement. Due to this, my next 100% didn’t come until October of the same year. This was Life is Strange which is another simple game with a completion that didn’t require much more effort than just playing the main story. At this point I was still just play...

I have played games ever since I was young, but it wasn’t until recently that I started caring about getting all the achievements that a game has to offer. During covid I played a lot of games and would go for 100% on the odd game with achievement requirements that weren’t massively time consuming to complete, but I was just mainly playing casually for fun at this time. It wasn’t until a couple of years later when I started to watch platinum trophy and completionist content on YouTube that I became really interested in this side of gaming.  Watching other people unlock all of the achievements or platinum my favourite games made me want to do it too, so I decided to start with games that I had already played before and unlock the remaining achievements on those games. I’ve had my Xbox account since 2013, so there were some games that I’d played in the past that had achievements that are no longer unlockable, meaning those completions are now unattainable. This was mostly due to ...
