The Stanley Parable's weirdest elements, however, are definitely its achievements.

And that's not to mention the pointed commentary on the nature of free will and the human tendency towards obeisance. I mean, one of the game's endings involves running back and forth between two buttons for four hours. Odd, however, is what The Stanley Parable's all about. It's a little odd, then, when a game actively encourages you not to play it. Games are meant to be played-we usually take that much for granted.

Not quite as rare as a game with motion controls that don't feel like total garbage, but still… The backlash to 'SIXTH.SENSE' drove the devs to delete the achievement from Steam completely, which technically makes it one of the rarest achievements out there. The BIT.TRIP devs found that out the hard way with the game's 'SIXTH.SENSE' achievement, which required players to beat a level using Razer's short-lived Sixense motion controller. Still, locking an achievement to a specific piece of hardware is a surefire way to tick off achievement hunters. Sure, it makes driving games a bit twitchy, and performing combos in third-person action games can be tricky without analogue sticks, and fighting games don't always work so great, and stealth sequences tend to be a little wonky with WASD… Heresy! An achievement that requires ditching the holy mouse and keyboard for a filthy gamepad? What does BIT.TRIP BEAT take us for, console players? Everyone knows a good M+K combo is the only way to play.

I've not had the time to play Crusader Kings 2, but after reading this story, I think I'm going to have to clear my schedule. The Prophet then hanged himself, but not before sending the player a letter that read: 'If you are reading this letter, I am with God, or with Lucifer., if so, then you were right. A Crusader Kings player going by the username Xolotl123 on Reddit, however, inadvertently earned themselves the achievement due to their investment in high-quality hospital care and their imprisonment of the Prophet for disturbing the peace. Ostensibly, you unlock this achievement by surviving the rise of the Prophet of Doom and the Black Death he's convinced will destroy humanity. The one I want to shout out, though, is the 'Not so Bad' achievement awarded for surviving the End Times. From installing a female ruler in the five baronies of the Orthodox Pentarchy, to trampling the Pope with a horde of elephants, over a dozen eclectic achievements are currently sitting at a completion rate of less than 0.1 percent.

Not so Bad (opens in new tab) - Survive the End TimesĬrusader Kings 2, champion of the grand strategy genre, is full of intricate, multi-layered achievements few players have managed to unlock. When the apocalypse hits and the whole world goes to hell, I'll be the redshirt incinerated in the first ten seconds.

I could probably spend the next year playing nothing but Devil Daggers and still not come close to the graceful death-dealing of players like the world-record-smashing bowsr. Watching replays of those runs is equal parts mesmerizing and depressing, making it painfully clear just how amateur my own skills are.

Despite the game selling for a mere fiver, just 0.1 percent of players have managed to avoid croaking for the 8 minutes and 20 seconds necessary to snag the 'Devil Dagger' achievement. Surviving Devil Daggers is a wee bit tougher than running out the clock in real life. That last 500 seconds? I just survived that.īut yeah. That might seem odd given how simple its requirement sounds: all you have to do is survive for 500 seconds. For something you could complete in the downtime between Dota matches, frantic FPS Devil Dagger's one and only achievement has managed to defy 99.9 percent of players for well over a year now.
