How do you feel about achievements?
They're fun for some of us? I mean, realistically what is the point of playing video games at all

Did you even saw those achievements? Earn one by beating some hard level is ok, but earn one by opening the level doesn't sound lazy for ya?

Seriously... this nonsense should actually be reined in by valve. Five achievements for opening every level. No difference between them I take it? Yeah I enjoy achievement hunting, but if it gets to the point where every one is making (and playing) games like this it very quickly loses the point.

Yes I agree. Some games do hand out achievements liberally, but this is the first I've seen where whole batches of them are identical. It's literally making zero attempt to disguise that this is a cash in.

Achievements: Open level P (7 achievements) - Pass the level P! (7 achievements) ... and so on.
Seems legit. Basically, give us money and we give you achievements for anything.

This ^
Some people like it, so, why not? Really don't see the harm in it.

I'll be honest I have http://store.steampowered.com/app/266010/ in my wishlist for that

I always thought "achieving" something meant accomplishing some difficult task personally. So 100%ing this game wouldn't really be much of an achievement, now would it ;)
I agree with other comments that using this game in decorating profiles and such is probably the main use, though it still bothers me because reasons

They do in you Steam library as well if you put them under the same category... or just search for ZUP. lol

As an achievement whore, yay for so many achievements and an easy 100%.
As a cheap bastard, I cannot justify buying this for just 15 minutes of gameplay.
As someone who doesn't have much interest in the icons for the achievements, I don't have the need to buy this game.
I'm very conflicted.

Yes, I completely understand that. Plus, the "it's just a dollar" justification is pretty valid here.
If people enjoy the game or get it for some other reason, power to you! Buy it!
I'm just trying really hard not to purchase anything anymore, because backlog.

I don't really care. Do find the ZUP games fun for what they are and for their price. Do agree the dev maybe went a little too far with all this achievements. But in the end everyone can get them if they want to. It's like you begin your Steam account with 2500 achievements instead of 0. It's a matter of choice. Buy and play if you want or don't. I don't feel disappointed or think Steam shouldn't release theses games. They are the minority and are entertaining, so I say go for it.

That's actually nice idea - allowing you to get tons of various letters in various colors, good for people who like to make their profiles pretty.
Maybe I finally will get my letter P I'm missing on my profile (too lazy to do it in Lyne, while I don't want to use SAM).

Oh yeah there is also a new game called Pain Train with "mere" 578 achievements http://store.steampowered.com/app/576560/
I guess this is it for achievement hunters, this stuff just doesn't have any bragging rights like it used to with games like these coming out.
Unless you are hardcore and just buy any game that has easy achievements, but thats just sad in my opinion.

Apparently you can get over 1700 achievements for as low as 1 euro and 15 minutes of gameplay.
Personally I enjoy getting achievements in games I like but this is a bit ridiculous in my opinion.
What do you think?
The game in question is Zup! 3 http://store.steampowered.com/app/575640
