Achievements seem to be popular these days, especially on this forum where posters earn badges. I was just thinking about how game developers get to set achievements for us to get us to play games the way they want us to and to show us things we can do in their games. My problem with this is that it only works one way. Why can't we set achievements for game developers to get them to make games the way that we want? After all, it's the only language they understand!
I'll set a few achievements but would like to hear anybody else's.
Achievement: Easy to learn, hard to master. I have learnt how to play the game and I'm still enjoying playing it because there is more to the game than learning the controls and a few cheap tricks. I might actually play some your game more than once and keep it long enough to play again.
Achievement: Cut to the chase. The game has cut-scenes and dialogues but you actually let me get to the action fairly quickly if I'm not interested or have seen it before. I can skip cut-scenes. Your cut-scene may have been masking loading but when I clicked start it ended and gave me a loading screen to let me know the score. You don't trap me in any inescapable rooms while some characters are talking to me. You don't lock me in into a tram ride when I want to play.
Achievement: I paid for the game and can experience the content. I don't have to play boring modes in your game to unlock content to play in the modes I want to play. Thanks!
