So people hack achievements now?

People have been hacking achievements since it was first introduced

nubs ...

Well, "Hacked" is a bit of an exaggeration. :p

Yes there is a program that allows you to unlock achievements on steam, but seeing as achievements doesn't actually do anything that's between you and your profile page.

This is no different than people using save-games to unlock achievements, or using regular old in-game cheats to unlock achievements, or just using a mod that happens to change certain aspects of a game which unlocks achievements more easily.

If people want achievements just to have them then bless them, if people want to unlock achievements just to unlock them then bless them. It doesn't concern me or you. :)

Only grip that I have with achievements is with those who dont tell you what you have to do to get it. But I dont see why someone would even get excited about achievements without earning them.

What's funny is you don't even get anything from them. They are barely something to brag about

blast from the past?

Welcome to the party, you're late. Here, have a beer.

And you noticed that only now? Stupid people existed forever, let them hack their achievements.

Maybe he's very pro and do that achievements (? btw I read that you can get a VAC BAN if you do that

Nothing new, unfortunately.

Some losers do that unfortunately.

Now? It's been happening for years...

hope all ppl who used that shit get their acc permban ;)!

Y'know what, I ain't even mad.

Pathetic. A real loser...

if you so jelly with him, why don't you do the same ???

achievements means nothing. just something that must be "gotta catch em all"

Some games include achievements which can no longer be obtained after certain events (preorders, event maps, multiplayer servers dying, etc.) which is ridiculous, especially if a player buys the game after the achievement is dead. As long as such achievements are classed the same as meaningful ones, in my eyes the achievements system is broken. Ideally, Steam should have a way to divide game achievements into obtainable and unobtainable so that the idea of a complete game (in the sense of achievements) might at least mean something, but I can't see that ever happening. With the way things are, I completely encourage the cheating of broken achievements (though I don't care enough to do so myself) and hell, cheat the others if you want too, it's not like they mean anything if you didn't go through the effort to earn them.

or some games like the recent change and remove of windows live for bioshock and batman - u earned the achievements from them but when they removed that they never transferred your achievements to steam

Hacking achievements is pointless, in my opinion, they the extra bonus when playing games, to unlock a cool new achievement, getting achievements can be more fun then actually playing the game. I don't have many, but I am not just talking from a steam stand of point.

what do you mean NOW?

its been like this for a long time, ever since achievements were conceived on xbox and steam people have cheated them nothing new here.

edit: you know whats even more disappointing? using fag as a tag, nice job.

Congrats. When I see this I am proud of my percentage.
Though this hack is necessary for some games, as Risen 2 or Wanderlust, some achievements are glitched and can't be earned.

Just asians

I certainly don't use those programs. To be honest I don't even care about achievements; and they're only fun if you actually work to get it. I think the program people use is called SAM, I heard of it before.

Yeah, some players use chats to get the achivements, i don't know why, but, meh...
