I swore to myself that now before I played another game and tried to finish it 100%, I'd forever check if it was part of the games with the Profile Features Limited group. I'd carried Chuck the snail in my third run (he had an accidental death on my first playthrough after I misunderstood what a particularly nefarious purple barrier did) for nought and managed to save the world from the corruption of the spire. "This game is not currently eligible to appear in certain showcases on your Steam Profile, and does not contribute to global Achievement or game collector counts"Ī few words sprung to mind after reading that - some were profanity, but perhaps the most relatable were heart-wrenched, destroyed, and disheartened. In the store page for some of the smaller titles on Steam, you'll find a section where you get all of the information about the game (such as the playable modes, whether it has trading cards, etc.), and in it, you can sometimes find the Profile Features Limited section, which says, and I quote from the heart from reading it several times from both frustration and depression: It didn't take me long until I found what would soon become my archnemesis: "Profile Features Limited". A couple of hours later, I returned to see that my counter was still at 26, and I began to worry. On my merry way, I went to let my wife play because she'd seen me ceaselessly spin around the room so much I'd managed to worry both the dog and the cat. ![]() "Strange", I thought, "It must take a while to update". Triumphantly and very tired due to leading a predominantly sedentary life until then, I laid down on the floor to look at my counter going up from 26 to 27. I spun and spun around the room like a mad woman, tried to save Jimmy the snail (who we later found out was actually named Charles, so we dubbed Chuck), and managed to squeeze a total playtime of 114 minutes and had an absolute blast. After finishing the game, a couple of minutes later (it's relatively short), I found out that I'd gotten most of the achievements and thought, "You know what? I'm gonna 100% it". My room was far too small to play the game properly (with it being a room-scale title), but I managed to make it through despite slamming into the door knob more times than I care to admit. Now, much like everyone, my household severely struggled due to the global pandemic, and my wife and I have taken quite a liking to free games, so naturally, she went ahead to look for free VR games for us to try out she found me Spellbound Spire. In this dizzying title, you play as a mummy that is on a mission to restore peace in the tower and rid it of corruption. Recently, whilst playing A Fisherman's Tale, I got my first Perfect VR game and moved on to others, as they are relatively short and incredibly fun. My journey had been going smoothly, with numerous titles scratched off my list every once in a while since I don't often find the time to invest a lot to get achievements. So naturally, despite how elegant my 11-year badge is, it makes my Steam profile look embarrassing (thus why I hide it away and instead have the Winter 2021 - Badge Level 1, though that's just because it's a cute wittle bwunny). I'm fairly new to Steam, despite what my profile age might have you think - I joined Steam to play Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead with my wife many a year ago but didn't delve into actually playing until far later on, near the release of Fallout 4. So, onwards on my journey I began I care not which one of these I complete first, but my sole goal is to have at least one. My goal is simple: I want either a game that I have a lot of hours on (anything above 1,000 would suffice, though I often aim to have more than 100 for the games I most like), have a lot of Perfect Games (I've been aiming for at least 100 on this one), or have a decent Average Completion Rate (I'd love 70%+, but let's get down to Earth for a second - I have 34%, that's laughable). ![]() Sure, I have achievements that others would envy, but my measly 26 Perfect Games and 34% Average Game Completion Rate (at the time of writing) are not only laughable, but they're plainly embarrassing.Īs an overachiever, I tend to try to excel at the things I do, and having a respectable Steam profile falls straight into that category. It doesn't help that I started gaming rather late, and my profile just isn't as impressive as I want it to be. ![]() One of my favourite things to do is complete games 100% - something about being able to finish every achievement makes me feel jubilant as I see my Steam profile get just a little bit more fleshed out.
