Without mentioning trans people, what do we think about retroachievements? Is there a way to use it without making an account and syncing shit online?
>t. ranny
>>750735824no there isn't
>>750735824there's no point in playing uncslop without achievements
Fanmade achievements are dumb. They don't have the context that official achievements do.
Shit tier>no damage allowedDogshit tier>play entire game without using the game mechanicsThe autists are loose tier>the above but now there's a time limit and a level cap
>>750735824no and who cares 99% of the achiv are autistic completion shit rather than challenges or new way to play the same game.
>>750736160I don't mind that stuffWhat's really gay is in any fighting, racing, extreme sports, etc. game, they always have>complete the game 100%, do every goal, buy every item, blah blah blah.. with each characterI know THPS2 like the back of my hand and it's still a massive slog
serious question why do you care about non official achievements?
>>750735824Is Pokemon Clover back or are trannies still pretending it'll curse them with an early(er) death?
>>750735824It's great, it makes me go 100% games i wouldn't have in the past. I care about them more than steam achievements or PS trophies for some reason.
>>750736021>>750736298>it has to be official! Uh huh
Retroachievements are better than 'real' achievements cause you get to pirate all the games, there are 0 online achievements, and ps2-below gens are better than modern games anyway
>>750736298dopamine rush when I 100% that game I always wanted to see everything in. shiny badge
>Complete the game without getting hit and only using the starter weapon 3 times on the hardest difficulty (jumping is not allowed)
>>750735824I think achievements in general is stupid and i respect Nintendo for never falling for this bs. It's turned off on my steam
>>750735824I guess you could use it if you wanted to keep track of what you did in a game but even then a spreadsheet is better.
>>750736298I would just want new ideas on how to play old games. I don't care about officiality or even if it's logged online. Looking at some of the site though a lot of achievements are hyper autistic speedrunning esque shit like beat the game with no healing / beat the game with no damage so I don't know if I'd really have interest in it.
>>750736478I scoff and laugh at the youtubers asking "CAN GAME BY BEATEN WITH ONLY X"
>>750735824>trannyACKievements
>>750736365Yes huh. Official achievements for old games are made by people actually involved with its creation.
>>750736365>it has to be official Yeah nigga
>>750736685Shut up
>>750735824Just make up your own challenges. That's what RA is, you're just outsourcing it to somebody else and locking it behind their website. Which is pretty weirdIf it's a matter of laziness just use their achievements and track it yourself
>>750736705How many remasters have you purchased that were not made by the original devs?
>>750735824Couldn't care less.
It's fun. Some cheevos push to you improve your skill or do hidden things you may not realize exist in the game. That said chasing after 100% especially when there's autism cheevos is retarded and I don't do that. Anyways add me bros:
>>750735824I like it. It's mostly just a fun way to track what games you're playing and talk about them a bit. It's great being able to talk about games and know for a fact that other people in the space actually play them. I also like how it's generally really laid back too. Like there are some people that care about cheevos n' shit, but most of the people on the site seem to just care more about just being able to talk and share games with other people that play them. There's a reason why the event pages usually just have very basic achievements that are just an excuse for people to give the game a shot and have a fresh crop of people that are recently focused on it, or why the "Play This Set" section of the newsletter is rarely focused on the set itself and is usually more "this game fun, you should play it and have fun"Will also say, I've seen anyone of repute actually be against it either. The people hating on it are almost always retards that usually don't even understand what the site is used for, or that one tripfag that keeps screeching in these threads about how "I was promised the mastery 3000 years ago, and having tough achievements is anudda shoah, no I won't just play the game for fun and not be an autistic troon REEEEEE"
>>750736998Cute autistic tagline
my favorite retro game :)
>>750737075It's 13 years old boomer.
>>750736309hahaha.....
>It has wii achievements nowHow much further can they go before big N gets angry?
>>750737181i bet they couldve added wii u by now but botw with cheevos would get the entire site nuked
i love how far emulation has come and hope nerds will just start making sequels of old games so i never have to play an open world one againa lot of games on this site have 60+ achievements per game though. if it's a site for people who have probably played the game before, why bother with the generic progression ones?
>>750735824If I recall, they banned Super Mario /v/orld from the service.
The entire verified thing should go. They'll never be able to prevent achievement hacking. Just embrace that people will cheat by making it easier to implement achievement support. All these recomps should have retro achievement support.
>>750736365Yes, it has to. Ask any athlete, artist, anyone who ever took a course. Fan-made = Self-proclaimed = Worthless
>>750735824Imagine not being able to play games without a random dopamine pop-up occasionally appearing every once in a while.
>>750737635>play games without a random dopamine pop-up occasionally appearing every once in a whileSo, the way that 99% of RA's users play?
>>750737075problem with "retro" label is while it can theoretically be applied based on how old the game is, in reality games from the 2010s and on all kind of blend togetherThere are indie games released this year that feel more retro than games from 15 years ago. Considering games are made specifically to feel "retro" it's obvious that "retro" isn't just an age threshold, but games you can tell were made in an older world that no longer exists. But TLOU could've easily been made today (and will probably get another rerelease in the future) so it's not retro
>>750736298Retro Achievements will probably outlast XBL and PSN.
>>750737260no, they just gave /v/orld achievements recentlyhttps://retroachievements.org/game/20066now all 3 games have them
>>750737260I think it was Pokemon Clover they banned, which is weird because how the fuck did Pokemon Clover even get on thereThey should add built-in achievements in the update (never ever) and make sure one of them is impossible to get.
>clover and custers revenge is a nono>princess maker and trans ball is finethonk
>>750738067>I think it was Pokemon Clover they banned, which is weird because how the fuck did Pokemon Clover even get on thereFor some reason Retroachievements turned into a pretty big romhack database. You can downloads tons of patches which aren't available on the usual hack sites or even worse were only released on someone's discord
>>750738321Clover and Custer's Revenge will probably still be unbanned, it's just a slow process
every game has retarded achievements that you need to look up before you play the game or you will miss them, and thats gay and borderline mentally ill
>>750738628Owner is too audience-captured for that. If those games ever get unbanned the owner is going to get a bunch of angry emails and be threatened with cancellation at which point he will relent.
>>750737967>Pokemon Periwinkle was banned just for having Clover devs>/v/orld is completely fineI don't understand RAfags.
>>750736998>casual points
>>750740194Does it piss off xkeeper? >No?They keep it>YesBanned
>>750740006They are already planning to bring them back if you ever checked out discussion in tele's super secret server.I welcome witnessing the freakout over it. That said recently they detransed the transball badge and barely anyone cared so eh.
