Yup, I've seen a few people with achievements in games that can never actually reward them, which would be the only reason to really use it.

I use Gibbed's SAM for all of them. Suck it, haters. What takes you forever, takes me just seconds.

SAM has been around for years

What do you mean "now"? People have been hacking achievements ever since achievements were implemented, and not just on steam. The real problem here is actually caring that someone else did it when it doesn't even effect you at all.

Not exactly new...

I use sam so I can sneak peek on hidden achievements pictures. If the achievement picture is in a form of letter or a number, I won't revert it back :P

I said it before and I'll say it again: I find achievements to be one of the worst things to happen to games. I didn't need that crap back in the day to enjoy games and I don't need them now. They don't have any purpose except being annoying. It's sad if game devs can't make their games interesting enough to make it replayable and have to force in achievements. Games are supposed to be fun in some way. Personally, I have no fun in grinding in a game or do the most stupid shit just to have something plop up and tell me I'm closer to 100%. If I want to have fun with a game, I'll be creative and find out stuff myself, don't need to achievements for that.

If they'd make it an optional thing that'd be great. Those who want to have this in games for whatever reason would be happy as well as the other party. But I just don't want this shit to interupt my gaming experience. As long as this stuff can't get disabled and will always in some way interfere with playing the game and I have this opportunity, I'll continue to use it. I could to some amount understand all the crying if it would do anything in multiplayer, but this is just even more pathetic than those who unlock them to show off and feel proud about something they "achieved" in a game.

And now go boo and flame me for being such an evil cheating bastard if it makes you feel better about yourself.

what about the last 33 kf achievements? o O

I wish Steam took achievements more seriously. Xbox and Playstation have their trophies/achievements tightly controlled, and that's great.

pls give me the link to his profile. thx

you must be new here

Look for SAM, he will answer your questions.

They just download savegames I guess. I personally do not look at the global statistics anymore, they are lies anyways. But I have to say that I once "hacked" archievements unintentionally, too. In Binding of Isaac. I already had like 89% of the archievment, but then logged in on a friends pc and forgot that my steam cloud for isaac was off. So I instantly got like 10 archievments when I ran it. But the rest of my archievments are very hardly earned.

Why do you even care?

cough cough

The acheivement that gives you the skull island topper has been bugged for me since last year so I can't get that ugly piece of headgear.

I have done what you are required to do in order to get the hat, about 20 times.

Wish there was an achievement for not caring about achievements.

pff, I never cheated my way with achievements and still got more perfect games then that stupid loser
Clicky

steam achievement manager

These people are truly the scum of gaming.

Using SAM, you can undo achievements and get them again. Hacking is good, especially during MP where others can see it.

I admit I'm usually half tempted to go an use SAM to unlock all the stupid "do shit with the devs" achievements in games.

So nabz hack achievements now?* fix'd title

global stats are still broken,dont even watch this,he could 'hide it' from non friends

I still am not convinced that achievements even add anything to the gaming experience whatsoever (with the exception of achievments that actually reward you with some kind of in-game, or inter-game, content). I miss the days when there was no such thing as an arbitrary "achievement" list, and the only achievements that you accomplished were real ones that you set for yourself. Now it seems it is all about bragging rights, which, to be blunt, does nothing for anyone.
