Isn't there something to check achievements % on Steam?

cottonmon@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Yeah, should be in the global achievements assuming you know which one is for finishing the game. So far, it looks like this is at 16.8%.

Kecessa@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 2y (1 reply)

16.8%? That's... A lot! Maybe I underestimate what it is for most games too because last time I checked that kind of numbers it was for Souls games...

Well accrding to truesteamachievements, the percentage of people who %100 the game is %32.. That can't be right, right?

MoistBalls@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 2y

I wasn't able to finish it myself.

I really enjoyed the first 10 hours of the game but the side activities and the combat were a bit too repetitive for me.

So the boycott does not work, woke people in shambles 😆

I'm sure a lot of the people who said they were going to boycott it did boycott it. But a boycott was never going to work for this game. The IP alone meant it was going to sell 10M+ copies, even if it was absolutely terrible.

Zeroxxx@lemmy.id · 2 pts · 2y

Fact: it is not terrible.

Boycotts never work with games, regardless of the reason. Remember the Modern Warfare Boycott when women were introduced to the franchise as playable?

Zeroxxx@lemmy.id · 1 pts · 2y

Boycotts do work in any aspect of life, for a proper reason.

Woke boycott, is not.

I mean it worked for me - I didn't buy it or play it, despite it looking pretty cool.

Amaltheamannen@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 2y

Same, know a dozen that would've bought it.

Ilflish@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Just because you didn't buy it doesn't mean the boycott succeeded. It still sold 22 million+ copies

ZOSTED@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 2y

Yeah, 22M+ minus 1, me. I didn't plan the boycott, I just don't agree with giving my money to JK. So I didn't.

Are you a transphobe? Or why are you happy about this?

Zeroxxx@lemmy.id · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Laughing at woke. You woke?

.ml, so woke.

Ephera@lemmy.ml · 0 pts · 2y

I don't know what "woke" means here. I was under the impression that it's synonymous to "the others" in the artificially instigated drama between the US political parties.

I'm not from the US, so I guess, I would be "the others" in some sense, but I have no idea, if I specifically count towards the implied-evil others here.
