    Closest I like to those style achievements are things like in game completion medals for speeding through individual levels.

    Edit:

    Challenging achievements are fine in my book so long as they ain’t ridiculously difficult. I’d never wanna get an achievement for beating a game or extremely difficult section without making a single mistake because those types of achievements ain’t fun. No I am not gonna speed run every level one after another without getting hurt just for an achievement.

      I tend to view those achievements as ones you pick up by accident rather than something you strive for. It turns them from something I absolutely have to get into a nice surprise when I do particularly well at a level I didn’t realize was supposed to be hard.

      Yeah, I don’t mind playing the game on the hardest difficulty so long as all it does it adjust damage numbers, but if changes mechanics that’s not as much fun.

      I have all the achievements in mass effect legendary edition for example. I won’t get all of the achievements in the dead space games because beating them with so many saves or one life is bullshit.
