Been playing Slain. I die a lot (probably more than the average player does...again, because I'm impatient.) I pass a few levels, I feel accomplished...then I discover you only get achievements for beating a boss without losing any health or passing a level without dying.
I realize I'm probably never getting these achievements, ever. It's sad: if this game had no achievements at all I'd probably finish it and once I do, feel good about myself for beating a difficult game. But with them like this, I could finish the game and have just as many achievements as I do right now...in other words, beating the game won't make me feel accomplished because I wasn't good enough to do it perfectly...so why bother?
And I hate feeling that way, too: I know achievements are meaningless and they shouldn't matter, and yet, I feel hamstrung by them.
There's an achievement for beating the entire game without dying. Yeah, good luck with that one. On the bright side, you have probably gotten the '100 deaths' achievement by now.
