Does /v/ use RetroAchievements? Wii support is coming early next year. Also talk about anything you're emulating.
i hate video games
Achievements are the death sentence of gaming
I really like the concept of retro achievements, but I swear to God every single one for most games is named something retarded like "The bigger they are..." or "These aren't the droids you're looking for".
wii isn't retro thougheverbeit
>>720767159old games are already fun, don't need some lame and gay checklist to enjoy them.
>>720767902Just like regular acheivements for new games
>>720767159I'm in the top 1/3rd of cheevo getters now so lower your voice when talking to me
>>720767159The community is retarded beyond saving. Just about every active member has an account padded with meaningless romhack achievements, anything to get their little point count to go up. Also there shouldn't even be a softcore option, if you used savestates, you didn't ACHIEVE anything.
Achievements signalled the end of video games.
>>720768129Name 5 games with "The bigger they are..." achievement.
>>720768656Monster Hunter Wilds, Fallout 3, Starcraft 2, Jackie Chan
>>720768656Fallout 3Star Wars the Force UnleashedMonster Hunter WorldCall of Duty Infinite WarfareBorderlands the Pre Sequel
I'm okay with achievements in new games because it can be fun going for 100% of a game you love, but doing it for old games feels weird. It's just something meant for fun, at least to me.
>>720767902The bigger anon is...
>>720767159No I just record all my clears. Some day I'll start uploading to a channel again but I'm too busy to type commentary right now.
>>720768656MGR RevengeanceRAGE 2Genshin ImpactHomefront the RevolutionMad MaxXCOM Enemy UnknownSilent Hill DownpourRyse Son of RomeTitanfall
>>720767159Most games I play don't have achievements so it's not too worth it for me
>>720767159Are you retarded
Before achievements I used to try to 100% save file. No problem with achievements but no I wouldn't sign up for some retro bullshit.
>>720768069Then don't make it into a list. I just play the game normally and if I like the additional challenges I'll go for them if they're not tedious bullshit after I've finished the game. Comfy.
>>720767159when i first learned about it i thought it was cute until i saw how the people into this shit act and realized its the gayest shit ever, if you cant be motivated to play a game unless theres an arbitrary checklist jangled in front of you like keys then theres no hope for you
>>720767159Yeah, same reason I use taiga though. Keeps track of my active games, useful for longer titles where if I leave for a while I might not remember where I left off at, and it's cute how well it integrates with discord as a status message.Wish it had a lightweight launcher like taiga though. I basically use that to catalog my active anime, whereas RA just acts out the convenient auto-tracker function.
>>720767159>oh boy can't wait to replay my favorite game, re4>beat every chapter without getting damaged on pro with an s ranking>do the same for separate ways>get within 10k points of the world record on each mercs stagefuck this
>>720770747>>beat every chapter without getting damaged on pro with an s rankingNope, only on bosses, any difficulty.>>do the same for separate waysThat's Assignment Ada, which is a short 4th Survivor type mode.>>get within 10k points of the world record on each mercs stageThey all just say get the highest ranking.
Its a fun way to get a little blip of something for games I've played a lot, like getting almost every single achievement for MMPR The movie the game, but holy shit, some of these achievements where made by some giga autist speedrunner.
>play Jak & Daxter>there's two giga autist achievements (one for basically doing orbless (only 25 precursor orbs can be collected))>don't even both, too autistic>notice one that seems easy>do the hard mode fishing game, get 1000 pounds of fish>can't be hard>spend 10 fucking hours on it and only get up to 850 pounds>go to the achievement and call the guy who made it a masochist who doesn't get what makes something actually fun and there's a reason why barely anyone has this>eventually get the achievement maker to drop the goal down to 750 pounds>still got it at 1000 pounds before it went downThe one pro here is that my score is now immortalized on a scoreboard.
>>720770439Based. This is how I approach cheevos as well.
>>720767159Been using it for about a month, didnt care much for achievements but it works as motivation to start games and finish them, and also to not use savestates.
>>720767159You would have to be autistic to have getting a virtual pat on the back be required to enjoy old games.
>>720767159retro achievements are for faggotsif you wanna go on a leader board do score attack and time attack runs, not this arbitrary bullshit
>>720767159I've used it a little bit and I plan to use it more in the future.
>>720767159They are way too fucking autistic for me. Does every game seriously need an achievement that goes like>Beat the full game in one sitting on the hardest difficulty without taking damage and with an arm tied behind your back while a prostitute is sucking your cock
>>720767159I kinda like the idea of it assuming they made fun silly achievements for games, but I never actually gave enough of a shit to look into setting it up and I assume it requires an account which I'd never make so to hell with it
>the nigger they are...
>the bigger they/them are....
>>720767159Shill your shit on leddit, cuck
>>720767159>achievement where you have to fight a bullshit hard boss without taking damage even though you’re guaranteed to take damage in>achievement where you have to complete something in a absurd amount of time>achievement that goes against the game’s entire design/philosophy and how it’s intended to be playedI love the idea of RetroAchievements but I really fucking despise how most of these sets were clearly designed with TAS/speedrun players in mind and not regular/casual gamers, makes the games less fun and more of a checklist of chores to do.
>>720781630They really aren't that hard most of the time if you're decent at video games.
>>720767159I used to but it sapped the fun out of everything. There are too many sets with insane achivements that just ruin the whole thing. Literally just speedrun a 3 hour game without dying or using powerups type shit. The whole thing is a colossal waste of potential, ruined by autists who think it's normal to obsessively play the same game for 10 years straight before moving on to the next.
>>720783208Just beat Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine on the hardest difficulty without continuing, bro.
>achievements are either basic progression checks, reached-certain-stats checks, or autist-tier hardcore checks
>>720767159only games I have done for that is spyro 1 and riptos rage. I probably will do year of the dragon at some point but I really can't be fucked with the skateboarding
>>720783601>tfw beat the game on hardcore and collected my free good boy points.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqAyY8KFagc
>>720767159Retroarch is barely fucking functional to begin with
>>720786732You sound low IQ and retarded.
I would play to get retroachievements if 90% of the games they work for weren't speedrunner tier or almost impossible to get, also they add a fuck ton and that makes me not want to get them.I call 50 a good amount and that's a lot even.
>>720783519Doibg a 1cc on an arcade game is the ultimate end goal. Akai Katana and Ikaruga are among the hardest PS plats because you have to be able to 1cc them.
>>720789459Except no one has time for that anymore. And even if they did, there are 1 million other games in their backlog that are going to be more appealing than grinding the same game for a month. People play retro games because it's comfy and fun. Adding arbitrarily bullshit cheevos just makes them unfun, thereby defeating the purpose.
>>720767159No this is the gayest shit imaginable. Collecting actual achievements is fine. Wanting to 100% or do weird challenges in games without them is fine. Inventing imaginary ones to show the other speds what you accomplished is terminal autism.
