Hi All,

After the Xmas Steam Sale I've been playing Hitman 2, a game which has had over 350,000 concurrent users playing it in one month so relatively popular, yet when I get what seems to be a "basic" Steam Achievement ("Complete training" or "Finish Mission 1" etc) it's saying that <10% of the total player base has got the same one, meaning that 90%+ of players haven't done some of the most basic parts of the game.

I had the same with RDR2, Death Loops etc - very popular games but with with 10-25% of players never completing some of the basics in-game and I find that odd. I mean I know some number of players won't like a game after buying it and thats only to be expected, but seeing such high numbers not even finishing something as early as "complete training" etc is just odd.

What popular games have you played and, when you've gained a fairly basic achievement, seen that only a hand-full of the total player base has got the same achievement?
 
That means that 1 in 5 people who own Subnautica havent even gone into the water in the game.

Thats the sort of crazy stuff I'm seeing too! I mean I can understand people playing say 10 minutes and then deciding "Nope, not for me" but for 20% to not even get in the water is crazy :D
