I've been reaching out to Keen Software House for the past 6 months and at first got the response "This'll be fixed in the next update", 4-5 updates later and still nothing. Now they seem to just be ignoring the issue as I can't get any further response.
Don't buy their game...if they don't want to make sure the player base can get the achievement then don't support them.
LOL, like the dozens of people who care that much about an unobtainable achievement will make a dent in their bottom line. Your "boycott" would have absolutely no effect as you don't have the numbers to affect their revenue in such a way they'd even notice.
But if it makes you feel better, then you do you. Just know it is in vain and you may miss out on a good game because of your hang-up on achievements.
Can you tell me why would someone - who is apparently a fan of a game - answer to the valid criticism of potential customers with ridiculing them? You don't have to be a pr manager to realize this will never ever go well on the long run. I know nothing about the game but you post killed my interest completely and if someone will ever ask me I will remember to not recommend it. I don't think any "literally who" developer who is always one bad game away from going under can pass up any number of sales.
If achievement hunters don't matter then why does every paid dlc have achievements? Apparently, a company that can't be bothered to (let us be realistic here) change a line of code despite they update the game regularly, somehow bothers with adding achievements in their dlcs. Nobody forces them to do anything above the base 1000 yet all these sweet overpriced dlcs have achievements. Wonder what could be the reason behind this?
I'll just put it this way - you are overestimating your own importance and influence greatly as you are the importance of achievements to average gamers. The people who actually get hung up on this is quite minuscule, and hardly something that would affect ANY developers's bottom line. And the includes these so called "one game away from going under developers.
Valid argument for boycotting a game? Oh my, that is a stretch. Maybe if you have crippling OCD but again we are talking about a very tiny percentage of people. And is that really a "valid" reason to skip an otherwise good or even excellent game...just because you can't boast that 100% completion ratio that no one really cares about anyway (especially given the games that devalue it with simple achievements on crappy, cheap games).
But in the end it is your choice, just know your little "boycott" over achievements is a useless, futile effort that all change nothing because it will have virtually no effect upon a games success or failure. I'm not saying that these companies shouldn't fix them when the can (or can afford to), just that your petty efforts will do nothing but deny yourself what could be the best game you ever played.
And a FYI- not every paid DLC has achievements. None of the paid DLC for Flight Simulator has any additional achievements and there are many more examples (such as cosmetics, skins, and maps in certain games). Care to try again on that since that zinger you tried fell decidedly flat?
Oh so this is how it is. You are not interested in opinions you are interested in belittling others because your frustrations of real life. You could have told your opinion without using every second sentence to tell how pathetic and insignificant the person you are talking to but you just simply couldn't. You didn't understand what I was complaining about either.
1, a developer not caring about fixing a line of code and not responding either
2, a so called fan who personally attacks others, not having the brain capacity to realize he represents the game community
You got things in reverse. This game you talking about is nothing. Nobody will miss out on anything by not playing it. It is not a must have, won't be on any top lists ever and not a life changing experience. I can safely say without even playing it that there are hundreds or thousands of similar games already made. Without Game Pass nobody would even care about it. You can be upset and angry that someone dares to rightfully criticize it but do it elsewhere. If in your little community this is the norm then tell them how you told someone, I'm sure they will praise you.
As for DLCs you seriously want to argue with a single game where the paid content is made by the community and they allow to sell it in the ingame store? If you had some insight in how dlcs are made you should know that cosmetics in general don't have achievements because they sell themselves by the promise of making you unique (no achievements needed). You still disregard the fact that even your game has an achievement for paid content. Just look around in the GP library and try to name 10 games that have paid DLCs and no achievements. I would love to see those many more examples. Any number of games you can name, I can name 10 times as much with paid achievement dlcs, any time (you know if we are at the "minority doesn't matter" argument anyway).
If you are only responding this to tell me how meaningless my opinions are then don't bother.
Wow. you certainly have some issues you need to work through.
I was hardly belittling anyone, only speaking FACTS. As said, the average gamer cares little for an achievement that is broken. The ones that do and are so hung up on it due to their own mental ...well lets call them peculiarities so as to not offend, are by far a minimal amount (fact) and such boycotts will have absolutely no effect on any company's bottom line (fact). Sure you can express your opinion and it would be nice if they could fix them all, but hardly a deal breaker for normal gamers...and many on this site alone have missed out on quality games (not the one in question) because of their mindset. Boycott all you want, just know it is a futile and useless gesture which is what I'm saying - you getting offended by it is a you problem. All you are doing is making yourself feel better.
I could name a plethora of games that have paid DLC but with no additional achievements. Destiny 2 immediately pops to mind, hardly a small game there and of all the paid DLC expansions only ONE has added achievements. Conan Exiles is yet another, with only the more recent one adding further achievements. And just a few more examples: F.E.A.R 3, Civilization VI (and this one has a lot), Forza 7, most to the Tiger Woods games (with DLC courses), just to name a few off the top of my head. There are more but I'm not going to go through the entire 360 and One catalog when my point has already been made with just the few examples given. I laugh at your feeble attempts to discredit any rebuttal preemptively with your flawed logic and misinterpretation of my posts. And none of the content in Flight Simulator that I was referring to is "fan made", if that is how you are trying to discredit my previous example. So what if you can name more (especially since Microsoft required it for a long time), the point you were attempting to make was that all had them to entice buyers which is flat out false as shown.
No point in going further, I've made the necessary points and rebuttals - especially since you insist upon trying to twist my posts into something that was never said or implied. Try just sticking to the points instead of injecting your arm chair psychology that has no place here (not to mention way off base, and does nothing to help your argument). I'm done since you seem intent on going off tangent and throwing out meaningless drivel trying to psychoanalyze me - it only shows you have issues as I'm fine with no insecurities whatsoever. Sorry you can't handle the truth..referring back to the original points of the number of people boycotting a game due to a faulty achievement is a number so small it is insignificant and would have no effect on the company, except for those that have recently made a business of selling cheap, crappy games for easy achievements. Other than that, your not making a difference - no matter what you tell yourself to feel better.
Chief out!
