Achievement support for compatible games in progress
Added by
iglock Achievements would be linked to and displayed via your gog.com account, and would be viewable publicly/to members of gog.com. Achievements would only be available for games with pre-existing achievements (gog.com. The Witcher 2, Trine, Psychonauts, Spacechem, etc.)
Darkwratheon I agree completely with this request. A reason that sometimes I won't buy games on GOG is because they don't feature achievements, even though the same game on Steam or consoles features an extensive list of achievements. I understand that some people may not like achievements, but I do like them and believe they extend a game's lifespan. I also care greatly for my profile on gaming platforms, and having achievements in it is big pro for me when it comes to the decision of buying games. <br /> <br /> The Witcher 2 (a game developed by the company that owns GOG) doesn't have its achievements in the GOG's version, even though it does in other versions. SOMA doesn't have its achievements on GOG, but has them on Steam and the PS4. Amnesia, Outlast, and many others follow this pattern. The nay sayers can just not play for achievements, it's as simple as that, they can just ignore them, but please GOG, implement achievements for games that already support them elsewhere. <br /> <br /> I like GOG and I want to see it grow, but sometimes when features like this are neglected, they push me away from buying titles that I usually would on the platform. Even if the only way to make this is making it only compatible with Galaxy, I do not mind, but please have an external achievement system on GOG for every game that has achievements elsewhere.
Kirshnaps Wait, wouldn't that require to add a form of DRM to the games, so they can send informations to GOG (such as achievements)? Also, why do peoples care that much about having their achievement showed on their profile? If you want to brag about your achievements, just take a screenshot of the achievement page in-game.
RENAISSANCE_AD IF (!!!!) this achievement-shit get´s added, please make it optional. I actually went of all systems, which rely on this stuff. If it were optional, I would not have a problem with it. But I like my gaming experience without any of this crap. Sorry for the harsh language, but achievements are hell to me.
nopism Lack of support of achievements is the #1 reason that motivates me to buy a game on Steam rather than on GOG. I love that GOG allows to buy DRM free games, and because of the DRM-free promise strive to buy my games on GOG whenever the GOG version supports achievements, when the game doesn't have achievements (old games), or when the achievements are pointless (complete chapter #1, #2 ...) . <br /> <br /> But I'm increasingly attracted to indie games and in particular roguelike and roguelite games that offer the most challenge and replayability. These are very hard games, almost punitive, and the entire point of the game is to push a little further at every runthrough to unlock collectibles and achievements, push one's highscore a bit farther, and maybe make an entry in the leaderboard. Just look at a game like Tales of Maj'Eyal where you are going to die and die and DIE and DIIIIIEEE and all that you have left is memories of what your characters have achieved in their ridiculously short life. TOME has got thousands of achievements to celebrate the most unlikely situations that arise from the mind-boggling number of possibilities that the game generates, they are FUN, and although GOG claims that it supports TOME achievements, it in fact doesn't. Very disappointing. <br /> <br /> GOG, if you are serious about selling new games including indie games, please get your s*** together and make sure that every game that you accept on your platform and that has achievements on Steam also implements achievements on GOG. Maybe you should create a standard and open-source achievements API that, when used in a game, posts achievements on both Steam and GOG, and encourage developers to use that API instead of store-specific APIs. Either way, please focus on achievements. If other customers are like myself, you'd be surprised at how much of the market share you'll be able to capture if you implement properly achievements and social features.
ekeagle Allow one GOG account per controller (game pad) on the same PC so every user has individual achievements and display it's username, just like in game consoles.
januszeal This is the list: <a href="https://www.gog.com/games?feature=achievements&sort=bestselling&page=1" class="light_un" target="_blank">https://www.gog.com/games?feature=achievements&sort=bestselling&page=1</a>
m_sujatno Is there a list for which games have achievements?
Paulpol WITCHER 3 GOTY NO ACHIEVEMENTS NOTIFICATION!! NO POP UP PLEASE HELP
Tairetsu Definitely, I don't even know why this isn't already a standard around here, not a programmer, so not sure how complicated it is to implement, but I'd guess you just have to copypaste the Steam or console achivements over to GOG :P
vboechat It is a must. Hope you guys add this, I want to put steam behind! Thanks.
intruder Just make the developers use the same achievements than with Steam. I didn't buy a few games on GOG because the Steam versions have interesting sounding achievements. If the price is similar I go with the version with achievements if they are more than "finished level 1".
Abacrombie It would be great if there was some kind of tier division for achievements (like the bronze, silver, gold and platinum trophies on PSN). They just feel more rewarding that way :)
jaredmoreno I've got almost 1000 games now on Steam. The only games I pick up from GOG are those that are exclusive to GOG. DRM free is a nice feature to be sure but at this point I'm confident my Steam collection is never going anywhere so the real driving force at this point for purchasing games on Steam over GOG, aside from sale price, is for the achievements. I think it would be a great investment on your part to add them to your library and give gamers more incentive to adopt a larger GOG library other than exclusives.
bradcore Achievements would be great. Especially if there was a way to incorporate them into those old games I love. I would replay the entire Quest for Glory series again another eight times just for that.
milttollin I know a lot of people whose only reason for not using GOG is the lack of Achievement implementation. Getting it up-and-running is a huge undertaking, but is worth it because it will drastically increase GOG's customer <a href="http://draw.Plus" class="light_un" target="_blank">draw.Plus</a> is fun to see your progress in games in Achievement form.
GinotheMan Achievements in Old Games, too? please!
nishayume We want achievement support.
JudasIscariot Hi all, <br /> <br /> We've marked this wish in progress as we work with developers who are willing to add achievement support to their past and future games :)
RaPaX89 Would love to see some achievement support for games on GOG. Also really looking forward to the overlay feature.
Wild_Eep If publicity of achievements were under the player's control, then I'd support achievements for whoever sees some value in them. That way I can make any achievements I achieve in the games I play private, viewable only by myself when logged into the website. Otherwise if I can't do that, I'm opposed to the feature.
Bruceii please show a notification in-game for achievements, that would be soo cool
AltonQuincy Yeah, it seems my GOG galaxy no longer works for my withcer 3 achievements.
Zion_Shall-Fall Well we need achievemnts now ffs........why would i replay Witcher 3 if i get no achievements?
Jacon6 I can enjoy a game very much, without achievements. But the achievements add a layer of longevity to the game, and tbh can be a really fun addition in it itself. Im not obsessed with them and often skip them, but it CAN be alot of extra fun. If I had to pick, Id pick the version with the achievments, even if it may cost me a dollar or two more. This is where Im at right now, seing some great summer sales at GOG but will get the more expensive version from that "other" provider. Because its all about the best gaming experience in the end right. Add achievemnts please! I want my library of games here at GOG instead
amurgaming Folks it's coming already. It's called the game overlay and it's already listed as an upcoming feature. Great times ahead!! :)
Cyga Add achievement notification in game please.
Flesseck The Witcher 3 has achievements. What we need are in-game achievement notifications please!
sydneyroo Imagine there's no Witcher... Above us only Fallout and Arcanum achievements... It's easy if you try...
MoralApostel Yes please! Achievements still don't work for The Witcher 2, despite they are listed in GOG Galaxy .
FoxTwo Achievemtns are already active on Witcher 3 and I have already gotten at least ONE of them. The only "problem" is that you are not notified of this fact in-game, that's all. <br /> <br /> Personally I don't see why some people are so mental about achievements, going to the point of REFUSING TO PURCHASE a game just because it doesn't have them... *shakes head*
MrButtStallion got told by the support that Achievements would be support by the witcher 3, yes it does, BUT you never know when you get them, since that part is not yet in gog galaxy -_- ffs
saucefar I thought achievements was added already and a part of the new client, i will not be buying Witcher 3 on gog then. <br /> <br /> What a shame.
DustyBlu I wonder if old games could possibly retroactively get achievements...
HGenzo i would love the achievements. <br /> or maybe, by default it should be turned on and whenever the game starts for the first time, GOG should prompt the player whether to turn the achievements on/off, or maybe make the players' achievements public/private?
hotbullet8 GOG Galaxy will give gamers a great option instead of Steam since we will be able to keep track of our play times and get achievements! <br /> <br /> I'm curious about Witcher 1 though, will it get achievements like 2? How will we know which games will be supported for achievements?
m4x1u Galaxy beta states there will be achivements. HOOAH! <br /> Already using the closed alpha test version i see achivements for Witcher 2 :) <br />
m4x1u I would very much like achivements. I like to see my progress over a game, it gives me a good feeling of completion. I've actually bought Witcher 2 second time (i had a collectors edition earlier, I'm Polish) on Steam (a -80% promo) to get all achivements. <br /> <br /> If gog would have an achivements system I'd probably minimize using steam.
Belinskij I prefer both online and offline achievements (in case someone doesn't have a good connection) so you can choose to publish them or not, as said below. But i think that for now they have a lot of work to do on Galaxy.
twocows This is still my number one reason why I don't primarily use GOG.
ginfanta Humble Bundle has been known to release STEAM versions of their games which I think is handy for people who are into achievements, are there any plans to release GOG GALAXY versions for Humble Bundle games? If ever, that will be great. DRM FREE plus achievements, the best of both worlds.
twocows If GOG developed an open achievements API or something, that would be pretty freakin' sweet.
ssokolow I'm generally averse to networked achievement support but, if it could operate in "Allow me to install and complete the game without a network connection but keep track of achievements locally in case I ever want to publish them" mode, then I'd be perfectly fine with it.
dstille28 I agree with the posts below. I would also switch to GOG if achievements were added.
twocows The ability to do an import from other services would be cool, too.
twocows Why not make them optional? They could even be opt-in, so long as it's easy to find the opt-in. I personally would switch to primarily GoG purchases from primarily Steam purchases if GoG had some kind of achievement integration. And if you don't like achievements, well, just don't opt-in to use them.
##@@##@@ I really like the idea of Achievement integration into GOG. Also would be awesome to have GOG Manager to manage installed games. I use Raptr of tracking of playtime, would be awesome to see achievements earned :) now I buy games on Steam to get achievements enabled...
Grubbsonions I have both a Steam account and a <a href="http://GOG.com" class="light_un" target="_blank">GOG.com</a> account. When I see a game that has achievements, I typically buy it on Steam instead of <a href="http://GOG.com" class="light_un" target="_blank">GOG.com</a> because I want to track my achievements and game time played, but I really would prefer to buy it on <a href="http://GOG.com" class="light_un" target="_blank">GOG.com</a> because I want to support DRM-free games. <br /> <br /> Now that I've found a 3rd-party app to track game time played (Raptr), the only thing that still convinces me to buy on Steam is the achievement tracking. <br /> <br /> I understand that having achievements available here would require some kind of always-online downloaded app that runs while I'm playing my <a href="http://GOG.com" class="light_un" target="_blank">GOG.com</a> games, so it might not be possible, but if it is possible can we please do this? Maybe with an option to *not* download or run the achievement tracking app for people who don't want achievements. <br /> <br /> Thanks and keep up the good work guys!
Vainamoinen OH GOD where can I vote against this?!? Achievements are for very small kids, not gamers.
Azghouls I would love to have achievements in GOG.
bpitta Achievements are a voluntary aspect of gaming. To those of you who are complaining about them...umm just stop looking at them? <br /> <br /> I am a fan of achievements as they clearly add replay value to gaming. They are not required to make gaming fun, but that is not the point at all. No reason to not have goals beyond killing baddies in a game to make it arbitrarily more difficult or encouragement to play the game in a different way.
