>no Achievements
Achievements are bad until they add them, then they are good.
Based. No real gamer had PS3 and Xbox 360 anyway that was the Wii generation nigga
First tendo console I own since the Wii. I laughed hard when I realized that you cannot message your friends at all. You quite literally cannot communicate with them. Actual console for toddlers. I don't know what I expected.
>>736321141I would have made fun of this ten years ago, but I'm sick of everything having social media integration. I'm here to play video games. If you want to talk, call or text my cell phone
>>736321085>he doesn't have Wii cheevos
>>736321341>Want to play with someone on my friend list>Cannot communicate>Cannot play with friends online>Forced to only play with random people or forced to only play singleplayer games by myself>Need to give my phone number to strangers on reddit in order to communicateAmazing
>>736321441>click on random profiles>they're mastering toddler gamesPathetic. Just like my high school friend that would look at achievement lists before buying games and would end up with a bunch of shovelware
>>736320894good, I go out of my way to avoid that garbage. I've never platinumed a single game in my life. idgaf what a dev considers 100%, for all I know could be stupid shit like GTA "take a cab for 20 without skipping it lol lmao"
>>736321524>strangers on redditThere's your problem
>>736321524>strangers on redditlmao
>>736321554and now everyone only plays the best games and not the flavor of the month gacha slop?retards will be retards, with or without achievement support
>>736321609>>736321675It's an obvious joke, you understand the dilemma
>>736321801It's not a dilemma. If it's internet people you use voip. IRL friends get your phone number
>digital sticker for doing the tutorial>digital sticker for getting groomed by a speedtranny>digital sticker for being a good boy in multiplayer mode that no one ever bothered withnippon is on the right side of history for not adding them
>>736320894Anon, you're supposed to say bad things, not good things. You're not shitposting correctly.
>>736321901except you do get these stickers in most nintendo games, just not on a system level
>>736321882How about meeting new strangers while playing online like you could do already in 1996 when you added that sick teammate to play again with him and he became one of your best friends ever. Stop defending this nonsense.
>>736322002It was novel back then. It's exhausting today
>>736320894>op needs extrinsic rewards to enjoy videogames >op, who is a faggot of the highest degree, cannot comprehend the intrinsic reward of just playing the gamePathetic. >>>/tv/ is down the hall and to the right anon.
>>73632134110 years ago on the Wii U nintendo actually provided online chat as well as an entire social platform.
>>736322140For you maybe
>>736321141can't you use gamechat?
>>736322140You guys really will defend anything. It's insane. You retards really deserve every wacky decision this company makes.
>>736321141>he doesn't know about gamechatNgmi
>>736322169I do play games that have no cheevos, i also continue to play games that i already have 100% of the cheevos for.I just think they are fun to collect.
>>736322269>>736322458Let me know how you can add people from online matches using Gamechat
>>736322483This.They enhance the game, and anyone telling you otherwise is a salty tendie retard.
>>736322508I don't have a switch 2 but I know on switch 1 there's a list of people you recently played with, just add them as a friend there
>>736322545Which only works for 2 specific games
>>736322508>(s)he needs to be spooned you can go to your profile > add friend > search for users you have played withNgmi
>>736322590works for all the online games I've tried
>>736322643Doesn't work with many games. I see you retards don't even play the fucking thing.
>>736322324correct I will defend Nintendo to death, because Nintendo is my friend, seethe harder. Nintendo does no wrong, baby
>>736322590What the fuck are you even playing. I know it doesn't work for mainline Pokemon games but thats about it. Maybe SF6? I forgot but in that game you can add people directly anyway
>>736322680name 5 (FIVE) games that doesn't work for
>>736322763Pokemon SwordPokemon ShieldPokemon Brilliand DiamondPokemon Shining PearlPokemon Scarlet Pokemon VioletPokemon Legends Z-AMario Kart World Gave you 8 (EIGHT)
>>736322901You gave us 5 actually
>>736322901Ah, I don't play pokeshit so that makes sense
>>736322945Still met the target, phew!
>>736321141Don't tell me they're doing that shit with the smartphone app again.
>>736323106nah they finally learnt their lesson and made gamechat native to the console
>>736322901>>736322996Mario Kart World does show up and Legends is a spinoff... its ok sis you can try again while Jamal uses your ps5 to charge his stolen iphone
>>736323106You literally have to download like 5 different apps to do different things instead of everything being combined just into one app. It's so bad it goes full circle and ends up being hilarious.
NOT MY HECKIN' ACHIEVERINOS, HOW WILL PEOPLE KNOW I BEAT THE GAME WITHOUT THEM?
>>736323262Mario Kart World does not show up
>>736323307>instead of everything being combined just into one appWhy is any app needed at all?
>>736320956that's right libshit
>>736320894So achievements even add anything meaningful to a games experience?
>>736323373Ask Nintendo. Ask Nintendo why you need an external app to listen to music instead of the actual console having themes and music you can pick and change.
>>736323350>>736323441If Nintendo added them, you would eat them up.
>>736322483I feel nothing for achievements whatsoever. But I guess enjoy what you enjoy anon. I game on PC and grew up without achievements. I see no value in getting a participation trophy. If I could turn the system off entirely I would. I at least am able to disable the distracting pop-ups.
>>736322324I'm defending a single decision to not turn their platform into yet another form of social media, twat
>>736323475Themes are bad.Unless they add them again then they are good.Nintendo my friend 4ever.
>>736323307>making shit up
>>736323485I have steam and Playstation account, i dont care for achievements
>>736323529The Wii U was sovl thanks to all the social media shenanigans and if you didn't like that stuff you're a sad person.
>>736321141>calls it a console for toddlers>is too retarded to figure out how to use a feature he thinks doesn't existlike pottery
I've seen people on playstation buying shovelware "games" where you just launch the app and afk for a few seconds getting trophies until it drops the platinumit's very retarded
>>736323594How did he make that up? I myself have 3 Nintendo apps installed and each one of them do different things. I agree that they all 3 could just be one app.
>>736323627If Nintendo added them, you would eat them up.
>>736323715I wouldn't give a fuck, just like I don't give a fuck about them not adding them.
>>736323707you don't need a smartphone app to do any voice chat
>>736323685There are entire games on Steam that are designed to shit achievements out that have letters as the icons so you can write your gay name on your profile that nobody will ever look at
>non-nintendo platforms have to give people trophies to validate them because playing their games isn't rewarding lmao
>>736323760I think you lost the plot friend
>>736323812read the reply chain again
>>736323685This is the kind of "gameplay" Nintendo doesn't want on their consoles, buying and playing games solely for some arbitrary achievement. It goes against their style.
>>736320894Quite literally, and I know this is an answer that you don't likeAchievements are bad, until they add them.It really is that simple. It's not a hard concept to grasp.
>>736320956Finally someone who gets it
>>736323842Yes, do it
I'm trying to get all the achievements for Dark Souls 3 on Steam. I had to spend hours farming items for covenants, I'm on a second new game plus run. I'm at 90 hours. I'm almost done but I'm never doing this shit again. I'm kind of ruining for myself what I previously thought of as a great game. Going for all achievements really is a mental illness. I'm glad I don't have to even think about them on Switch/Switch 2.
>>736323918True, if Nintendo added them suddenly it would the greatest idea since sliced bread
>>736323881there are plenty of AI generated slop games on the e-shop
>no games
>>736324024and how many of them have achievements?
>>736323881The eshop has an astonishing amount of shovelware
>>736323978>original poster states you can't message friends at all>anon 1 replies to ponder if a smartphone app is required for that again>anon 2 says you have to download 5 different apps, implying an app is required for voicechat>which is bullshitwhat about this is hard to grasp?No apps are required in any way.
>>736323984maybe don't grind something you don't enjoy for nearly 100 hours then? play something that you do enjoy and only takes 5 hours to complete. you choose what and how you play.
>>736324120none, that's the point. they are allowing fake slop games on their store already without achievements.
>>736324157Anon 2 wasn't talking about anything chat related, was just pointing out how there are a billion apps for no reason whatsoever
>>736323918Based, this
>>736323984Retarded logic. Not every game is worth getting 100% on, it’s the players choice at the end of the day. You now have times and dates associated with the game as well as actual proof you beat it. You can even use third party websites to track your ranking worldwide. If you can’t see why this is a good thing that’s on you.
>>736324256why did anon 2 even reply to anon 1 then?Did he not understand that anon was referring to the voicechat smartphone app they used to have?
>>736324334Idk man, he just probably wanted to point that out of the blue, I don't know BRO
>>736323986Remember when the vita added folders and people here were making fun of it, then the 3ds added folders...
>>736324250No, the point was that Nintendo doesn't have achievements on it's platform as standard, not how much shovelware is on their digital storefront.
>>736320894I don't care about them but honestly it should be on the system. I think they are just lazy to implement because there are so many games.
Currently there’s zero proof nintendo fans beat their games and no way to track it online
>>736324616Could be like Steam where it isn't a requirement
>>736320894They are bad and they are not needed at all.Like themes.Like custom menu music.Like folders.I'm glad Nintendo decided to remove all of these. The quite boring main menu is peak.
>>736324780dumb falseflag, they have folders.
Nintendo wants to keep that data hidden because it would reveal how low the engagement is
>>736324582saying it goes against their "style" and they don't want this kind of "gameplay" on their store falls apart when they are allowing the worst low quality slop on there for a quick buck. they don't give a shit about slop clearly.
>>736324830I wish the main menu actually had folders
>>736325103wii u had them, no idea why they dropped it for switch
>>736324912I would say they don't like the idea of degenerate grinding just for the sake of it, regardless of objective quality.
>>736325227>degenerate grindingYou really trying to sell this
I liek achievements!
>>736320894just like real life
>>736325227Then how come Donkey Kong Bananza's in-game achievements want you to destroy 100.000 cubic meters of all materials?
If you play videogames for virtual trophies no one cares about rather than for fun I'm afraid you're playing videogames for the wrong reasons.
>>736320894>no games
>>736325452>tfw done Portal 1 but you can't do Portal 2 without friendsthe hardest cheevo type
>>736324912>>736325227>>736325508I can't find it but someone at nintendo (maybe it was Iwata?) once talked about why they don't have system-wide achievements, and they basically said they prefer to leave it up to the developer to include within their game, as they don't feel it should be standardized nor mandated for every game. I don't agree with that, but it's what I recall being said about it officially.
>>736325556ehem
>>736325596no, the hardest achieevo type are "those achievements where they discontinued the multiplayer BUT you can emulate servers but no bots so you need to tard wrangle sometimes up to fucking 5 other macacos to help you and you all have different timezones and avaliability"
>>736325676The only time i've ever actually done multiplayer cheevos with a stranger was in Rise of the Tomb Raider. I messaged him on PSNProfiles and we did them while in a voice chat. Was actually a chill guy and even offered to help me with any other game if i ever need it. Never spoke to him after that though.
>>736325542Ok marketer
>>736325668I agree with leaving it up to the developer, but the funny thing is that if they do this while having it available on a system level, suddenly everyone will cry when there are no achievements for a particular game. Just like they do on Steam.
>>736325829I try to be as kind and understanding as possible when I ask for help for achievements because I know full well some of these retards are extremely volatile and prone to just not help you. For recent-ish games, finding capable help that speaks your langauge isn't always super terrible, but for REALLY old games, you're in for borderline caveman speak and babytalk to apease these mentally stunted individuals that have more than 10k hours in a single game and nothing else.
>>736325675so ps5 has a game because it has astro bot, got it
I don't see the point in achievements without having a score. The 360 was the only platform I enjoyed getting achievements on. Too bad the Xbox One and Xbox Series console suck so much dick.
>>736326121I didn't miss the score when i went from Xbox to PSN and later Steam. But now that i do have a score again with RA, i notice how it does make it more addictive to accumulate. RA being a combination of Platinums from PSN and Gamerscore from Xbox is based.
>>736326121I prefer steam but PS got something right which was to give you an actual "Platinum" trophy for getting all the other trophies. Sure, some games do it on steam too, but you get the ribbon and that's it
I miss miiverse. I miss menu themes. I miss the badge arcade.
>>736320894I don't need achievements and I always thought setting arbitrary goals was retarded. Just put the challenge in the game and add a completion% counter if you want to do that shit. Getting pat on the back for clearing a tutorial is fucking stupid.
>>736323485Nah I wouldn't. Only reason it would be worthwhile is if you got gold points for completing challenges
>>736320894when they get their first good AAA it will be a agreat achievement
>>736323441Depends on the game for me. For example, in EU4, I liked using them for random nations to play and going for goals like forming the Qing Dynasty or owning 10% of the world's tea as Denmark.
>achievement encourages you to learn new skills
>>736320894nintendo is behind like decades
>>736320894Nice.
