[Completed]
This one is a bit harder to plan because I don't want to pre-spoil myself and see if a game has hard/boring cheevos to get. For sure I'll check out one of the 4-5 games won in the past 3 months that I've yet to play and I'll update the post accordingly :3

Hmm, not quite sure honestly. I'll definitely be playing something, but I'm not an achievement hunter personally so I don't know if I'll meet the criteria or not. We shall see I guess ^^

I'm totally going to do that. Gonna check out what works though :D
And if I have enough cheevos in sg wins O.O

Total: 41

Mission completed!

Challenge Accepted!

Let me think for a while :P

Total - 38 -> Success! (more than 31)

I usually prefer to play a lot of games at the same time, so there's no chance that I'll finish all of these in August, but let's see how it goes :)

[FINISHED] - Not up to date, I got more than listed. Not only did I get 31 achievements, I actually completed 31 games (18 SG wins) this month \o/

Total: 199 (+5394)

TIL I can not spell "achievements" right to save my life D:

I'm going on vacation on Thursday and won't be home until the 14th, so I won't start getting achievements until the 15th...

I'm hoping to play several of my wins this month (but for sure I will not finish all of them), so I'm leaving also current state for my reference ;-)

Total: 195

Current status (2017/08/01):
Project CARS 17 / 45
Total War: WARHAMMER 0/172
Nihilumbra 0/24
Half-Life 2: Episode One 0/13
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel 0/63

I will play my latest win, Tales from the Borderlands, and continue Grim Fandango Remastered.

Updated 16/8. Challenge completed!

Well, since this month's challenge revolves around achievement rather than completion, might as well focus on the non-finishable games I won here.

DONE.

[Completed]

Great idea! I'll join, starting with Tahira (because I'm in the middle of playing it anyway) and Armello because I keep playing it and still have cheevos to get :)

[ACCOMPLISHED]

This is so much easier for me to do! Thus far, finishing a game in a month has been extremely difficult for me. P (I have, however, been playing my wins.) I am going to try to 100% ABZU (the game needs more loving), and plan to go back to Skyrim (my first win) and Cat Goes Fishing for fillers.

[Completed]

I prefer playing several games instead of sticking to one to make sure I can handle enough achievements (so rather playthroughs than completing all achievements on a single game). Also focussing on a single game can be quite frustrating without some variety.

All of those are still unplayed (sorry, I really feel bad about that :( ) and on my BLAEO backlog anyway.

Currently playing Red Faction Guerrilla and haven't decided what I'll play next. I'll update later :)

Total: 60. Goal accomplished!!!

I think I'll manage to do at least 1 achievement per day

I am in. Probably not 1 achievement every single day, but I will get enough for whole month. Won too many games in past month, so it will be easy this time.:) Added DLCs for games I am going to play a bit more aswell, so maybe I will get some cheevos here too.

Total 34

Done!

We will see. Very likely some from Back to Bed, others unsure.

[Barely made it]

I will try to earn those 31 achievements in the following games
Revolution Ace
Outlast
Wolfenstein The Old Blood.
Once (if) I make it, I will try to finish at least one of those
EDIT: I have managed to beat Revolution Ace and Wolfenstein. I started playing Outlast yesterday (night) but I don't think I can play it through. I feel it's scary but also boring. If I may, I will skip it and go for Orion : Prelude

Thank you skanda, I am so in! I love achievements:)

Achievements were added recently to The Forest, so I will start with that one :D

EDIT1: I won't do The Forest due to some technical issues. I will do Cobalt instead :)
EDIT2: Done! I will keep playing it, but I reached this month's goal already :)

Okay, this time I actually started replaying Fahrenheit to get the achievements, so my wins page won't have that pitiful 0/17 there. I doubt I'll have the determination to suffer it for three different endings, but 14/17 should be a good goal.
(Yeah, I don't have any other win left without play time or nearly full achievements.)

The first time I participated in a challenge.
But such a small motivation to play my wins does not hurt. ;-)

I'll start with Freebie and Grim Legends: The Forsaken Bride.
After this we will see whats next. :)

Well, I don't have much in the way of low-hanging fruit left, so I might not be able to accomplish this challenge.So we'll have to see how it goes.

Started with Deadlight: Director's Cut, but due to laptop harddisk failure and since current PC can't support 64bit games i can't continue playing. Got almost to the end of game, maybe 1-2 stages left in Act III. Will find some other game to continue challenge...
Playing Primordia next, looks like cool adventure game. Also just won Pony Island and since it is wishlisted game started playing it too :D

I'll join in this month!

Away from my computer for most of July so I broke my streak last month ;_;
Let's see if I can fit something in when I come back later this month.

I'm going to play the Warmastered Edition of Darksiders since it was given away for free to all of the original's owners.

Reserved I guess

Goal Achieved

I had already created this months attack plan on BLAEO. Some of the games don't have achievements. Here are the game that I will try to finish this August.

Just beat Dead Rising 2 last night, starting on Saints row now

I've unlocked enought achievements to 3 years if every month this was the challenge. This month's challenge looks made for this kind of game, but I'll play some others, to don't feel I've just pick the easy way.

June, July

NOTE: The "stats" links redirects to Completionist.me.

Welp I'm quite happy with my progress, I've completed the challenge and played 50 hours of Payday 2 this month!

interesting challenge indeed :D
I think I'll go with a couple of almost fresh wins that seems not to long overall (and with hopefully not that difficult achievements :P)

monthly challenge done, I'm adding one more game just to keep the achievement spree going :D

34, I think I'm set for the month \o/

I'll start with my most recent win :3 I am aiming for 100% so this one game should be more than enough

I started my most recent win yesterday and I've gotten 6 achievements so far.

Edit 1: I finally finished Green Ranch on easy mode and managed to get exactly 31 achievements. I'll need to play on expert mode to get the rest of the achievements, but one of them is really hard. I haven't managed to get gold on all levels on easy mode, so it seems almost impossible to do it on expert mode.
Edit 2: I got another 2 achievements and I'm giving up on it. I can't find the 5th easter egg and I can't finish the last 2 levels on anything better than bronze on easy mode.

I'm in!

Finished

Yay, victory so soon! Thank you, Anna :)

A long vacation makes me a week late to this challenge, and I'm running low on wins to play, but I'll try nonetheless.

I'll work on Evoland 2 and Strider, and may get to Teddy Floppy Ears: The Race, Frozen Synapse, and Space Run Galaxy.

Edit: Made it past 31! Still working on those games through the end of the month and into next.

I will not be playing much through the middle of the month. But I hope to finish one or more of the following titles:

I'm going to finish the achievements for The Bug Butcher.
An addictive Pang like game really well done.

Aaaand it's done :)

A late start from me, but still plenty of time to get those 31 achievements done.

Sounds fun! :)

I'm currently stuck in Stardew Valley, gonna start with Saints Row: The Third.

Just won a new game so time to go play it as well!

Completed, don't know yet if I will go for Take Thy Trone, first want to finish Stardew Valley :D

I actually forgot to post here this time....

I'll try Tomb Rider:) There is 50 achievments:) If I don't get 31 achievments before finished it I'll look for something else:)

And I've also finished Maize, but that one doesn't have achievements.

August 19th edit: And the challenge is DONE.

Started to take part in the challenge: 17 August
Finished the challenge: -

I hope i'm not late to join, i played a lot and completed some SG won games this month.

Total: 86

The game was won on july, but finished this month

Yay!!!

Arrgh, I'm one short! BTW, Bioshock was my first ever SG win about three years ago and I'm just now getting around to playing it. EDIT: OK, I added one more to Ziggurat and am now at 31.

Last minutes hours call :D

Last minute join :3

Play a game that' been sitting in your Backlog forever. Basically choose a game from your last Won page or from your first year on SG or sth like that. Play some of your oldest wins.instead of newest wins ;)

Revise the review from your SG wins that the game itself has been updated since you post the review?

(but I doubt people will write reviews if the game is good enough)

Here's another one: "Play a game you won while it was still on your wish list."

Play a game that starts with any of the letters in September? Looking at my own wins, a lot of them start with either s, t or m so hopefully everyone would have something to play.

Idea stolen from here:

Why? Because they both start with A, of course!

Play a game without achievements and post some screenshots on steam to prove it :)
Because September = Screenshots :)

Take a shot and pick inspiration from last BLAEO theme.:) Beat one of 5 longest games you won on SG and didn´t play yet (of course it will depends on wins and for someone it will be still game with 4 hours gameplay, for someone it will be game with for example 20 hours gameplay).:) Would be nice to see someone to beat these bigger games instead of 20 smaller ones, even tho it wont help with backlog much.

I miss you :(

Make something crazy!

Checkout the Playing Appreciated group. Members are required to play their wins within one month.

It is true most people don't play their wins, but part of this thread is to encourage people to do so.

i m always wondering, why people expact that someone will play games he gv?

Because the point of a video game is to be played. Owning something for the sake of owning it is just ridiculous. Even art/stamp collectors like to stare at their collection or show it to others. Or they are doing it as a long-term investment. A Steam library is not suited for either of those.

Well there are people who do appreciate the winners who play their wins. There are groups like Playing Appreciated, Actually Playing Games etc that promote the "playing" part of the game.
What is the point exactly to have a +1, have a huge library and know nothing about your collection. I bet that most of those collectors don't even know about single thing about most games in their collection. At least it would be useful just to be familiar with the game and recommend other whether to buy the game or not; if they would enjoy it or not; talk about its concept, story gameplay etc.
And like talgaby said there is no long-term investment or advantage to Steam games collection. You know that Steam is just a service right, you don't own anything that you have in your library. It is nothing like the ownership of the physical copy of game disk you have. And if by any chance Steam gets shutdown they are not obligated to provide you any games, your games in the library are lost, forever (I think user from EU don't have to suffer like others).
Another thing is that Steam accounts are not transferable and is a EULA or SSA violation, I don't know if accounts do have expiration date or not but this also makes it useless for long-term investment.

My motivation for giving away games is so that someone else will play and enjoy them. I don't expect it, unless it's a Playing Appreciated giveaway, but I hope for it. I like to think that I'm helping to spread entertainment and joy, rather than just padding someone's library.

happ ycaky

It's only the 15th. Should work, right? :]
Go, M, go! cheers

We'll allow it.
