12% of people have not even completed the very first intro quest in Skyrim that takes about 20 minutes to play. If you look at any game's achievement stats on any platform, the percentages are much the same, if not worse. Why do normies not actually play the games that they buy?
>game goes on sale cheap
>buy game
>never get around to playing game
>repeat
thats it
this
especially those bundle deals
they literally don't or at least they didn't back when i played
they literally do in the Anniversary edition
sad! used to be different for sure
Buying things feel good to most people. Consuming money results in a dopamine hit.
This. Sometimes I feel more happy about the fact of buying smth (game/book) than actually consuming it
my dopamine tanks when I go out to eat or buy a new game. How do I become a better consoomer?
buy gifts for people you like instead
or just buy steam keys for anons if you have no one you like
mods disable achievements
It's the exact same even on other games though.
For instance, here's Baldur's Gate 3. Look at that huge drop-off between the first and second achievement.
Fallout New Vegas
actually with FNV, it's when you activate cheats that it disables achievements, not mods
Red Dead Redemption 2
Dungeon Defenders.
Who the hell rests 4 times?
Who the hell doesn't? Are you stupid?
Maybe he's just fricking based and beat the game on cantrips only? lol
90%+ of skyrim players did not use mods
you are now aware of how different you are from gamers
While that is true, skyrim has sold about 60 million units, and SkyUI has about 4.5 million unique downloads so that's like 7.5% of the 12%. So that's a pretty decent chunk of people not being counted towards achievements.
Yes, but you can look at other games and see similar things. Most people don't play games all that much. It came out in the Activision trial that the average COD player on PlayStation plays for a total of 16 hours. Which makes all these people bleating about short games even funnier. I think BioWare said only 30% of people finished Mass Effect and that game is as short as frick.
Since I buy shit on sale, yet play them when I have the time.
In Skyrim's particular case, I played and beat this game on a pirated copy a thousand times before I picked it up for 5 bucks on Steam, played it for 10 minutes then forgot about it
>get new pc, finally buy skyrim whooo
>special edition comes out soon after, all mods shift over
>pirate because i'm not giving todd any more money
pretty much
>buy skyrim on sale years ago
>special edition comes out
>DLCs are unlisted and no longer go on sale
Seems like you need to buy a certain game then.
>download Mod Achievement Unblocker so modded game files don't block cheevios
>laugh at the devs and their impotent attempts to stop me from collecting my precious cheevios
>most
>12%
moron
That's just the very first achievement. Most people do not complete Skyrim, or even come close to it really. If you pay money to buy a game then you should probably put the effort in to complete it.
Dark Souls 2 is pretty funny, some people make a character and then just quit, never even dying once. Nearly a third never beat the first boss.
Have a look at Elden Ring
I'm looking at the other games now and they're actually all pretty consistent. Almost everyone at least starts the game up and makes a character, about 30% never progress past that point, and roughly 30% total get at least one of the endings.
Elden Ring has a lower first achievement I guess because it takes longer to get to that point. In DaS1/2/3 you can get the first achievement within a few minutes, getting to the round table hold in ER takes an hour or two for the average player who isn't using a guide.
Using SAM to unlock all achievements except for the dying one. Claaasic.
>He plays a game for more than 1 hour
Jeez anon get a life.
Aside from Bethesda disabling mods in skyrim le+ game dev studios hire plants to buy games. It might still be up but a fired Activision employee made a yourube short about that and how they plus valve plus riot let top level personalities cheat in games
What bugs me more is how almost as large a percentage went through the trouble of installing and playing the first dungeon but didn't make it to standing stones.
Also, how did more people get an achievement for absorbing a dragon soul than completing bleak falls barrow? Don't you have to complete the latter before the former? Maybe there's a workaround if you go way of beaten path, but I can't imagine that many people did it?
Its a skippable quest. You start the "Bleak Falls Barrow" quest by talking to the Whiterun Jarl, but if you go to the Barrow first and clear it, you'll be assigned the quest where you absorb a dragon soul without ever being assigned "Bleak Fallows Barrow."
Huh, I never knew that. So people just wander in to the dungeon randomly before even getting to Whiterun?
I guess it makes some sense now that I think about it. You get Golden Claw quest and Camilla even points you at mountain. I've never done it that way, but I guess I can see a lot of players getting distracted.
I wonder if it counts the refunds people do after crashing ten minutes for the total.
Grand Theft Auto V
Because I have a job. I’ve got the money to buy the game, I just don’t have time to get around and play it.
At least I’m contributing by helping you nerds getting new games by wasting money on devs.
I wish I could go back to my neet saga
I pirate the games, beat them and then buy them later on a sale.
Most sales are for a limited time so you have to buy it even if you don't have time to play it.
I have like 20 or so games that I bought on discount and have yet to play.
Starfield
Dragon's Dogma
>most people
>11.2% is most people
OP please off yourself as soon as possible
The first quest is not the full game.
>you haven't played a game unless you have beaten it
Big moron energy.
The best one i've seen is Icarus. A survival game where only a third of players the most basic first step.
was prob cheaper than the cards you get out of it at one time
I remember reading long ago a study, that there is a category of what is considered a real gamer and a true gamer for lack of a better terminology. And this involves the people that actually buys and finishes games and those that master the game. I believe the former is only like 10% while the latter is around 2-3% of gamers. The rest are casuals that enjoy the game casually or lose interest real fast. Is it any wonder that developers make cookie cutter games.
And what does the shitty AI generated image have to do with that?
>activate mods
>achivements disabled
skyrim is really not the best game to make your point, also in 10 years i never beat skyrim
It's worse than you think. I'm pretty sure this only tracks people that have actually launched the game at least once.
I never really played games fully as a child except for LoZ Windwaker.
I rarely play through full games as an adult, for example picking up 20 horse shit isnt that interesting and it's quite literally just some designers way to shitpost for a few hours at work
As a kid I probably beat games more consistently because I had to rely on my parents to buy them. I would only get a few games a year so I had plenty of time between new ones to beat them.
>for example picking up 20 horse shit isnt that interesting
Name one (1) game that asks you to do this.
pic rel it's wow
the developer also has said he had a corprophilia phase when making those quests
but I mean more as a hyperbole, following a random npc or picking up rocks to create a potion because you need to gatekeep alchemist proficiency etc is just not very interesting unless you intentionally make it a cool journey
Why do you keep buying them then?
I finished the game on a pirated copy, bought it for dirt cheap later, and just use it take porn screenshots
steam games are money laundering scam
meds now
