I think it's actually the average percentage of achievements earned per game, in those games in which you've unlocked at least 1 achievement. "Don't start what you don't intend to finish."

Yeah, that part was a pain in my ass.
SAM is Steam Achievement Manager.
If it has Steam Achievements, you can use it, most likely, to set whatever achievements you want to unlock. You can also use it to idle for cards, as it basically tells the Steam servers you are in game X...
And yeah, I did it manually... but for the most part, unless a game had extra achievements or an altered list, I tend to platinum or 1000/1000 games, so some were just straight up easy to do. Check all then uncheck the few that I didn't have or whatever.
Bit.trip runner is the only game I had to give up on 100% which sucks because I only miss 3-2 leaky krinkston bonus level but I just cant finish that one.
Better known as "fuck you multiplayer achievements for single player games"

Rarest achievement showcase or normal achievement showcase will show it.

Seems like you have to have some minimum level to see it. Guess that's what I get for not doing badges and having <100 games
Level 10.
I played three warm-ups beforehand and got to the temple each time, then I played the daily challenge and died in 1-1 in the dumbest way imaginable.

Tomb Raider 2013, the Darkness, etc.
There's some bad farkin' mojo in 1-1... I took some really sketchy hits and stuff in there on my way to 4-3 today.

It is certainly a different type of pressure and you do get the best deaths.

As someone who never 100%s games I'd actually kinda like it if (at least for single player games) a specific achievement or set of achievements could be registered by the developer as "beating" the game. Like, whatever "beat the campaign on normal or higher" equivalent is. I just feel like I'd like an at the glace way to see what games I've played through the main story mode for, achievement % doesn't matter to me at all.

Speaking of which, how do you even level up?

umm, no. They only got it now at SDD.
A couple of select devs did get kits before Xmas, like Tommy R, Codemasters, Ken Levine, Double Fine, Platinum etc, but the majority of the 300 beta testers are "average" Steam users. They have an unofficial group with 159 members, it could be that not everyone signed up or the rest indeed went to the devs and etc though.
Now thanks to this conference there are like 1000-2000 more units out there, which are indeed all devs

I always assumed it wasn't going to be as random as they made it seem. I mean, its a hardware beta, not a software beta. I would have loved to have received one but I'm not surprised that I didn't. They really needed to make sure that they got the best feedback from as many of the participants as possible.
Do you think it's the average of the averages (like, if half your games are 40% and half your games are 60%, then 50%) or the percent of achievements unlocked out of achievements available? I'm curious if it only counts games you've earned an achievement in or if it also counts games you've logged play time in; it doesn't seem to count games added to your library but never touched, at least.

once again these latest impressions I have been posting are not from the 300 beta group, but from devs who got their kit at SDD.
To my knowledge, crafting badges and buying games.

Most of the people who have the hw beta badge are profiles like "rockstar, gajingames, wadjeteyegames, facepunch, etc"
edit: i am looking at the wrong section oops

hmm, can you link to a couple?
It does not count games that you have playtime in but no achievements unlocked in. So, for example, if you idle a lot of games that happen to have achievements for trading cards, it has no effect on the %.
The % is the average of the %s for the games. It is not (total achievements unlocked / total # of achievements combined for all of your Steam games).
Tell me about it. After beating Runner I felt like it was impossible to get perfect score on every level so I left it there. After 1 year and beating runner 2 I went back to it and finally made it. But 3-2 bonus level was the last I beat. THAT was hard, not to mention I had to replay 3-2 many times to get to the bonus level. xD

Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet just recently had GFWL removed and Steam achievements added though.

Looking at you Tomb Raider. Think I'm missing 1 SP achievement and gave up after I realized they included (stupid) MP achieves
corrosivefrost

Ah, maybe that would explain it.
Bioshock 2 also just had GFWL removed.
Exactly.
It's a shame they can't come up with a system that separates Single Player Achievements and Multiplayer Achievements, more work for the developers, but a lot more useful in a variety of ways to players and tracking.
It's the achievements that simply can't be done because the studio no longer exists (e.g. beat a member of the development team), DLC is no longer available for some reason, or recommends doing something potentially damaging (leave a game on for 100 hours or "crash the game" like Dungeons of Dredmore), and so forth that I dislike.

No Time to Explain hits $400k in sales (all platforms)
TLDR, they're porting the game to unity (from flash) with controller support as a free update

They are publishing the best game on Steam right now, so I'm glad they are getting paid.
Stumpokapow
listen to the mad man
Most of those are also viral, so they end up being "beat someone who has this achievement" rather than "beat an actual member of the development team". Not all of them. But a lot of them.
Isn't Sigma really shitty? Christ it was years ago I played the demo in my PS3 but it felt a little off in the controls (plus the frame rate was rubbish). Looked great compared to the Xbox version though.
Has Tecmo ever published a pc game or port?I know Koei had done a fair few and they're part of the same conglomerate/merger/whatever now.

I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
Tecmo Koei would rather give you the next big thing instead http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpzvGY24MuUl
Sigma 1 is good, Sigma 2 is the one that has ppl divided though.
I dislike social achievements, but that's the best way to do one. There shouldn't be achievements for liking a game on facebook, registering for the developer's forums, or hunting down a member of the dev team and buying them a drink.
I really don't know the difference between Black or Sigma so I can't tell you.
They are publishing Ninja Gaiden Z which I believe is there first Steam game.
It just had to be that one, didn't it? *sighs*

Sigma was the remake for PS3, IMO it was better than the one on the Xbox, also the PS3 version has better graphics.

Yeah I noticed it too, I hope they fix it before they release it on Steam!
I am aware. ;_;
What a pleasant surprise, I didn't know that a Steam release was in the works.
