A new beta release for the Steam client includes scoped-achievements.
Achievements can now be split into game mode specific, DLC specific and seasonal specific achievements.
In theory, this will now allow players to achieve achievement completion, even though they’re not interested in the multiplayer aspect of a game.
Kind of but kind of not. I will look at them when I beat a game and it gives me a quick recap of what I might have missed. That usefulness varies wildly from game to game but sometimes I see an interesting challenge I want to try doing.
I cared when Bungie gave you the Recon armor set for having the vidmaster achievements. That was the last time.
Actually thats my biggest problem anymore but its more a microtransaction thing. You just dont earn cool stuff for doing challenges anymore. I love the few games that do give you something but it is fuckin RARE.
Gotta impress the shareholders. What? Fun? In the game? Shut up and buy this weapon skin for fifteen bucks.
