https://retroachievements.org/user/EmperorJonI originally thought this website would be really fun but I think I largely had a lot more fun playing retro games or just games in general just as they are without worrying about achievement crap. Most of the time whenever I see this site mentioned on /v/ or /vr/ anons mostly crap on the site calling it pointless cause some of the achievements are either grindy or force you to do unnatural/stupid things in a game that aren't really that hard or fun. Some challenges aren't even very creative like don't get hit by a boss or just achievements that show off your progress. Amazing and beautiful community though for adding this stuff to old games, but it's full of faggots and left wingers. I also miss playing games on normal original hardware. My friend who also had an account on there deleted his because he told me that a lot of the achievements felt grindy and not fun and that every time he wanted to play something retro he had to play it on an emulator or else he was missing out on points. Currently I have mastered 42 games should I delete my profile and play old games just for fun?
yes
didn't read all that, but i did read the subject:yesachievements are for people who pretend to have OCD
I can't believe somebody as retarded as this is trying to talk down to anyone.
in Portal the achievements are goals such as 'beat stage 1 without touching the floor' 'beat stage 5 with only creating 2 portals' 'beat stage 8 without using a weighted cube' etc.. I like these they function as an additional challenge and are something that is engaging and fun to do after you played through the game.achievements in every other game are either milestone achievements or a pointless grind that have no challenge or respect for your time and are just there to function trigger and satisfy an ocd urge.
>>736339418The portal achievements that rely on "making the least amount of steps" are ridiculous and literally designed so that you cannot do better than them, if it says do it in 11 steps, you can't beat it in 10 for example
>Amazing and beautiful community though for adding this stuff to old games, but it's full of faggots and left wingers.lollll you snowflake

>>736339061Outright deleting your account seems retarded, just take a break from it nigga.
Why is this shit being spammed for weeks. I don't care about your efag drama
>>736339061Anyone with a Guts avatar should self-terminate.
>>736339061retard
>>736339061achievement mental cage unironically conditiones what i play draining any fun of it
>>736339061Some of the achievements suck ass.Just play ass you go, I mainly use it to keep track of what I already played and what games I want to try next. Turn off the notification for it and play as you go.
>>736339061retro achievements are a retarded idea and you should really just try to enjoy video games on their own without meta objectives
>>736340492>I mainly use it to keep track of what I already played and what games I want to try nextYou shouldn't need achievement trackers for that.
>>736339061Tranny-coded website. Quit it before it's too late for you.
>>736339061>caring about cheevos>in retro games, at thatlollmao, even
>he just 100% the fucking MARIO games
>>736339061Developers didn't intend for these achievements, therefor they're fake. You're a dumb faggot for even using them in the first place and you should be ashamed.
>>736339061I am doing it anons. From now on I am just going to enjoy games without retarded meta objectives.
>>736342046Thank the 360 for this stupid shit.
>>736341551>Developers didn't intend for these achievements, therefor they're fake.This part gets me too. At least with official achievements there is some air of "legitimacy." I do not understand caring about an achievement list authored by SkrumpyWilkins or whoever the fuck.
>>736339061yes you should never join social groups when it comes to hobbies. it never works out because they are fucked in the head and all it does is ruin your enjoyment of the hobby
>>736341551>>736344554this is such a stupid take, its simply a method to show you did something with a basic level of verification. That is all an "achievement" is, something that tracks when a memory state in a program is reached. Its a way you can "show them online" as they used to say. If the dev programmed them in or not is irrelevant
>>736344653The problem is no one cares if you did something in a video game and the need to verify it with a little sticker is kind of sad. No one cares that you got 120 stars in Mario 64 on April 3rd, 2026 at 1:31 AM when you could have been doing literally anything else.
