Do you use it? Do you like it?For me, it's just an extra thing that motivate me a little bit more to play older games
>>>/trash/
>>12437214No, and I don't need extra motivation to play older games. If you do you should probably go back to >>>/v/
>>12437214>motivate me a little bit more to play older gamesThis bum is so fucked up.
>>12437214
>>12437214If you need motivation other than the fun of playing you are wasting your time. Just photoshop something to make it look like you played and save everyone.
>>12437214I think it's cool. Could even encourage different playthroughs for games you already enjoy.
>>12437214Yes I do. Also good job exposing yourself. You don't play video games.Almost a year and a half on the site and just barely 1000 points? How pitiful.
>>12437214No I don't give a shit about achievements, but I'm a zoomber so I was playing games before the Xbox and ps3 achievements brainrot
>>12437214I dislike achievements. I see them as just a form of data-mining, and I would disable them entirely in games that have them if I could.
>>12437245I play other games than on emulators. I beaten a bunch of games so far, but if I play retro games, might as well get the achievements for it, even if I dont care about them to the point of 100% the achievements. For example, I dont care about Rad Racer 2 to get the last achievement.
>>12437259I'm a 89 kid, but I see them as extra "content". For example, I never knew in like 28 years of playing Pokemon Blue that if you beaten Gary twice without getting Pokeballs or a new Pokemon that Oak gave you 5 pokeball. It's pretty neat. Or all the secret events in Secret of Mana. I did go out of my way to get some of those, but it was a cool "challenge mode"
>>12437228Some games are a chore to play really, like Rad Racer 2, I hated that game. But, the fact that every checkpoint gave you an achievement motivated me to clear the game beyond my hate for the game.
I like reading through achievement sets to see how fucking terrible they are
>>12437214Yeah, that's basically my take on it.
>>12437214>Do you use it?Yes>Do you like it?Mostly. Some achievements are too fucking hard or simply rely on extreme amounts of RNG. The fact that most pages are abandoned means if there's an issue, you're fucked.
>>12437214You can complete the Pokemon games + Pokedek subsets pretty quick easy by simply cheating with PKHeX.
>>12437348But cheating remove the whole point of playing.
>>12437351Did you look at the pokedex subset? If you want to grind for 3 days with fast-forward just to get to the first gym, then by all means.
>>12437354But that's the whole point of the achievement page. It's like the subset that make you get the rarest drop from everymob in Secret of Mana.
>>12437361Yes and if I can cheat to get it quicker, then why not? If you can still earn achievements while cheating, it makes sense to do it. If you have no life or extreme collection autism, then by all means do the Shiny subset for Pokemon Yellow. It really is peak autism.
>>12437309>Some games are a chore to play really, like Rad Racer 2,A sane feller'd duck that shit, but a fucked-up bum keeps wasting his time playing something he hates just for some made-up cheevo validation from another bum.The fact you don't see how goddamn twisted that is—and you even defend it—is straight-up insane to me.
I could never get them to work for certain systems, like the Apple II. Also, never play Number Munchers as an adult. Holy shit it makes you feel retarded.
>>12437382I've never tried the Apple II myself, but I've been fine with all the systems I have tried, including stuff like the MSX and PC-8801.
>>12437428I'd load a game, play it, quit, and then when I come back to it, RA won't recognize the game. Game Focus Mode or whatever it's called is also pretty shit since you can't use other keyboard shortcuts.
>>12437369But the whole point of the achievement is to achieve it. If you cheat, you didnt cheat and thus the "points" are meaningless. It's like bragging about being rich after printing money.
>>12437376I didnt do it for the achievement. I did it for the backlog. I have the game, I wanted to finish it.
>>12437448You still have to do the achievements, it just cuts out the grinding. It's entirely Pokemon specific too, so it's not a big deal. I've already rage-quit a bunch of times doing Twisted Metal 2 because two of the achievements rely entirely on god-tier luck/RNG. I keep trying though because I'll feel like a God when I master the game.
>>12437446You might have the wrong version of the game, a lot of games on RA only have one region supported, like NTSC. If you look up the game you're trying to play, then click "Supported Files", you should see if you have the right version.
>>12437461First time I loaded it, it was recognized, and I unlocked some achievements. After that though, RA wouldn't recognize it. So the ROM is obviously good since it worked the first time. No clue why it would randomly stop though. I just erased the achievements and moved on, oh well.
>>12437468I have no clue either, that's never happened to me.
>>12437214Yep, OP is a faggot.
>>12437214>Do you use it?yeah>Do you like it?yeah, though there are sets i fucking hate like thps2 making you 100% the game with each skater. it's not fun or challenging, it's just fucking boring
>>12437756I did that because I like playing THPS2, not to check an item off a list. I'll do it again, too. It's fun to see how the different skaters control at first and which stats you develop first.
>>12437449see: >>12437376>[...]a fucked-up bum keeps wasting his time playing something he hates[...]
fun site with some strange rules. as long as you just use the service and never visit the actual site you're good.
>>12437214I've dipped my toes into it, and it's FINE I guess? It doesn't motivate me to play more games, but it does push me to play differently than I otherwise would, which is interesting.The biggest downside is that most of the achievement names are Reddit incarnate.>>12437453>You still have to do the achievementsNo you don't, that's why you're cheating.
>>12437214Xkeeper is a faggot.
>>12437509>pokemon red/blue have different achievements beyond "catch version exclusives" which should equal the same number of achievements anyways
>>12437927this. wonder what site he'll ruin next
>>12437982Would not surprise me if he became a mod here or already is.
>want cheevos for some undub jap games>doesn't work>works with games like tales of phantasialame
>>12437382Apple II cheevos require a standalone emulator, it doesn't work with retroarch.
>>12437953They used to have the same achievements and be linked, but then they were split. Red got all the time-consuming ones for some reason.
>>12438568That's weird, then why did it load and recognize it the first time in RetroArch using the AppleWin core?
>>12438590Couldn't tell you, but it the same for PS2 and GCN games. Gotta use PCSX2 and Dolphin standalone for those, and RAppleWin for Apple II games.
>>12437214It’s just a little curiosity I check after I beat or stop playing the game. Maybe if I really like the game and already 100%’d it I’ll try to do all the achievements if they aren’t ’beat the game without taking damage’ tier
>>12437927He seriously needs to kill himself. He makes the world far worse by existing.
>>12438036As long as the file is supported, it should work. But for some games, the JAP game might be not supported I guess
>>12438643Well right now I grind Pokemon Blue in my bed before sleep, and it's mostly weird stuff like "Beat Misty with only Bug Pokemons", which is challenging to grind a team like that.
No, I'm a straight White male. By the way, have they unbanned Clover and the other banned games?
>>12438746but who's gonna doxx all those newborn babies if he kills himself??
>>12437214Who would win in a fight?
>>12438598>Couldn't tell you, but it the same for PS2 and GCN gamesMisinformation.
>>12438598>Couldn't tell you, but it the same for PS2 and GCN gamesYou’re stuck in 2020, unc. The Dolphin core has been updated and now includes Triforce support, just like the standalone version. The PCSX2 core is gone; it’s now LRPS2, a fork of PCSX2 with parallel-GS. Before speaking, double-check your information: it’s easy to spread misinformation if you’re not even aware.Last capture was NGC, this is Downhill Domination for PS2.
>>12439302>>12439321How is the LRPS2 core compared to PCSX2? Is the performance the same?
>>12439329>How is the LRPS2 core compared to PCSX2?Just try it yourself, it's free and accessible to everyone. Stop asking to be spoon-fed.
>>12439336Could have just said you don't know instead of acting like a child about it.
>>12439341An obnoxious brownoid mad because someone refuses to cater to them.
>>12439348Not brown, but good job proving you're permanently on /pol/ and have a 60 IQ. Thanks for admitting I'm right, I accept your concession. Filtered. Be a good retard and reply more, I'll never see it. I know you can't resist, you're already typing. Prove me right.
What will the cope be next week when Wii support comes to RetroAchievements?
>>12439359>bluetooth>can't play most wii gamesShit sucks, and I'm not buying a bluetooth dongle that might not work since Dolphin doesn't seem to have universal bluetooth support.
>>12439367I finished Metroid Other M witha DualShock 4 and my 10yo Intel Killer wireless card.
>>12439260i wanted the undub purse owner EP, among other games, but yea they straight up dont support it. then i got the psp ports anyway so w/e. still gay tho>>12439264no cause the admin (that was never there) keeps sucking off xkeeper

LoZ (NES) achievements are pretty standard and fun if you like the game. Getting all the Quest 1 ones currently. Just takes 2-3 playthroughs depending on how well you plan.
>>12439262At least that's a more interesting and creative achievement that I could see being implemented if achievements were a thing back then. I just feel like a good amount of retro games especially the 8-bit ones just don't have enough depth to have interesting achievements.
>>12439302>>12439321Possible but not supported by RA, so I don't really care.You're right, though, they seem more functional than the last time I looked.
>>12438036sweetie no, undubs are problematic
>>12439354you find the answer yet?
>>12439694I like to use the achievements as a checkmark showing I finished the thing, but dont care a ton about them, like Space Invaders on the 2800. I finished 5 screens, I'm good on that. I really dont have the need to go learn a glitch to be able to clear 15 screens to get the "Beaten" from Retroachievement.
>>12439745Even if the game doesn't have any achievements, I think it still tracks if you played it. So it's actually not a bad site just to track games you've played.
>>12439354But did you tried LRPS2 by yourself, or are you an eternal brown doing nothing until someone hands you an answer like a bum asking for spare change?
I thought this was standard emulation gaming?
>>12440376Forgot to ask, is there a way to verify that I'm logged in through retro arch or do I just check after playing to see if it updated?
>>12440376you can still cheat with this on btw. they confirmed it with people playing pokemon
>>12440384Weak security or workarounds?
I looked at 1 game and immediately saw this site was nothing but retarded bloat made by people who have no idea what balance or sensibility is.
>>12440389i think it was a workaround. people dug up discord screenshots and this was going around the clover drama too.
>>12440390These aren't all that bad, but I'll agree there are some that are just way outside the scope of basic achievements.
>>12437214They are fun because they usually push you to improve yourself and learn new strategies/mechanics and sometimes even new content you would never see in a normal playthrough. Getting 100% on every game you play is autistic though, especially if the set is garbage. Anyways if anyone wants to add me:
did anyone end up leaving anyway?
>>12440408>softcoreGet your pussy ass out of my sight.
>>12440509I didn't realize hardcore was a thing until later since I can't imagine playing some games without fastforward.
>>12440529Fast forward still works on hardcore, thankfully. It only disables loading save states (you can still save them, just not load them), rewind, and probably some more shit I'm forgetting
>>12439770It does track them, you can see in this image >>12437327 that Drakengard 2 has no achievements, but still shows up in his five most recent games played.
>>12440380The achievements will pop up as you get them, and there will also be a pop-up when you start a game telling you that you're logged in and how many achievements/points you have in that game.
>>12440380At the start of loading the game, it will show if you are logged or you'll get an error message
>>12440529Fast Forward is okay in Hardcore.
>>12440384Games that have saving yeah.
>>12440376>disables pauseWhat? No it doesn't. I pause all the time both in-game and RetroArch itself.>disables cheatsYes, but you can technically still use some of them as long as they aren't real-time cheats (invincibility, invisibility, infinite ammo, etc.). For shit like "have all items/cards" or "max money" you can simply load the game with Achievements off, apply the cheat, save, quit, and then enable Achievements. As long as there isn't a conflicting achievement, it won't affect anything.
>>12440529You can use fast-forward in hardcore mode, I've played a lot of JRPGs using it.
>>12439602xkeeper is pretty much banned off the site but Scott is just kind of a fag anyways.
>>12437214No but I've never got the whole achievement thing for games in general. Just find the whole thing weird.
>>12440403Fuck it i don't intend on cheating so im not really bothered. >>12440603>>12441037I see, thanks
>>12441178It defeats the whole purpose of achievements if you're just going to use cheats. Unless you're trying to completely your pokedex and need to force spawn certain pokemon in the wild
>>12441417>Unless you're trying to completely your pokedex and need to force spawn certain pokemon in the wildThis will disable Hardcore mode. Getting 999 coins on slots for R/B/Y is retarded and 100% luck based. It's easier to cheat and put your coins at 998 and then win once for the achievement. >NOOO you can't use cheatsWhy do you care so much how other people choose to play? It doesn't affect you in any way. Why the fuck is /vr/ like this? You all need to get some serious help.
>>12441229>>12440531That's not too bad then. Maybe I'll play pokemon or a ps1 rpg on it then.
>>12441467I dont care what you do anon, you enjoy your achievement hunting how you want to. I personally wouldn't feel accomplished, but you do you, I'm not judging you.
>>12437214Fuck off Russ from Retro Game Corp.
>>12441467people like you are seriously deranged
>>12441540Not an argument. Thanks for admitting I'm right and you're wrong. I accept your concession.
>>12441467But the whole point of the achievement is to say "Hey I did it". If you cheat at it, you didnt achieve it. You cant say that you won 10 hands at poker in a row if you cheated the first 9. Just ignore the achievement if you dont want to achieve it?
>>12441543>Not an argumentWhy do you care so much about how other people choose to argue? Get some help.
>>12441546I already accepted your concession. Now you get filtered. Reply more, I'll never see it. I know you can't resist.
>>12441553jesus christ
>>12441545By that logic, you're against the use of turbo fire/buttons and in-game exploitations, right?
>>12441565Not really. Because you did it. Just like grinding with a fast forward button.But cheating in a number is the equivalent to going stealing a Purple Heart pin and then showcasing it. You have the pin, but you didnt do it. In game Exploits are at least in game, I dont like it, but at least you play with the game itself to generate Gold Nuggets or whatever, at the minimum it shows that you know the trick for it. That's kinda the whole point of the Glitch subset.
>>12441579Remember kids its not cheating if you do it. Reading the answer sheet for the test is fine because I bubbled in the scantron myself.
>>12441579>Player A uses the item duplication glitch to get 99 rare candy and max level his pokemon>Player B uses a cheat program to get 99 rare candy and max level his pokemonThe outcome is exactly the same. How you got there doesn't actually matter.
>>12441594It kinda doesGetting a medal for killing somebody even if the person was unarmed versus stealing the pin. Look, you do whatever you want to your profile, but you know you did not achieve it, everybody else who look at your profile will think you did it, but you'll know. The whole point of the achievement is self congratulation, if you use it as a bragging right for something you cant actually brag about, its just hollow. Just play with an invincibility cheat with 999 in every ressource at that point, because you would have gotten there anyway, so you just speed stuff up right?
>>12441606>Just play with an invincibility cheat with 999 in every ressource at that point, because you would have gotten there anywayYou can get invincibility without cheating? No, of course not. Try again without the false equivalency fallacy.>It kinda doesIf I show you 50 different players with a lv99 pokemon, can you point out with 100% accuracy which used the item duplication glitch, and which used a cheat program?>Getting a medal for killing somebody even if the person was unarmed versus stealing the pinAnother false equivalency. Try again without it.
IF you still still trannyachievements after they nuked a whole bunch of games for being offensive, you are yourself a tranny.

Who cares about the trophy if you didnt even participate.Also, please stop doing Fallacy fallacies and engage the point or just skip it. I'm not here to have a debate. You do what you want, and if you want a meaningless icon to be ungrayed on a fanwebsite, go ahead. Nobody actually care about achievements except your own, and you are devaluing your own experience.
>>12441621Do you mind sharing your nationality?
>>12441625You should probably get off the internet, get rid of your car, cancel all accounts & credit cards, get rid of your phone, etc. because there's a 100% chance those companies did something retarded at some point. You are a tranny by your own argument.

If you are going to act like this to get (you)s, I'm just gonna ignore your clear writing style. You are doing the equivalent of going to a pawn shop and buying a trophy for a sport you dont participate in just for a guest to say "Oh you got a trophy in Karate?". It's just silly. You are silly.

RetroAchievements is lame and unappealing in its social aspect., their community is full of huehue niggers, street shitters and looney troons. The few white dudes engaging in it socially (RA forum, pages, Discord) are getting groomed into the most degenerate stuff. Why would anyone want to interact with an RA user, honestly?It’s satisfying to beat a game and get some replay value by going after the missing achievements. I’ve turned off notifications, double-check the ones I’m missing when I finish the game, and only check the website if I need a patch. It’s not perfect, but it works well enough. Some people here are just arguing over pointless stuff: if you can’t find value in it, that’s fine, but no one’s interested in hearing irrelevant opinions; we know what’s going on and how to steer clear.RA is ok if you don't interact with its community.
>>12442069You do know you can visit the site and never once go to the forum or discord, right?>their community is full of huehue niggers, street shitters and looney troons>The few white dudes engaging in it socially are getting groomed into the most degenerate stuffOh the irony

>>12437214I use it to check which isos to backup from myrient. Convenient.
>>12442994Lol I do the same thing, even for games that don't have achievements yet, they'll still be under the "supported files" tab with which region you need.The PSP games are weird- most of the No-intro PSN ones don't match their names on Myrient at all
>>12442069i only comment on the game pages or individual cheevo pages. dont have a single forum post
if you treat it as a check list, its bad.if you replay the games you like even after getting all the achievements, it's alright. but if it makes you not play a game because it hasn't achievements... mb you should reconsider the way you play games.

The 3 swordless achievements will suck ass, but I'll get through them next. Just have to beat the game without a ring first. Not sure if I'll do the subset or not.
>>12437214I do use the hardcore mode just to control myself and not use savestates,most of the times I don't care about 100% the games, since the achievement authors are just autistic out of touch morons and create shit like this on the base set.if a game has sane achievements like 100% a game, or finding all the secrets I will do it, but this is super rare to find anymore
>>12443683Yeah same, it helps on save states
>>12443683Authors should really use subsets more. There's no reason to have retarded shit like that on a base set. Just pack all the autistic esoteric achievements on a subset.
>>12443723Well for obscure games it's okay. For big games probably not
Looks like they're going after /v/orld 3 now. Funny how someone looks the level name Ass Eater Cavern and automatically assumes it's a homophobia joke.
>>12445692did they ever go after 1 or 2?
>>12445729No, they're going after 3 because someone is making a set for it. The other ones never got sets apparently. Also all their release dates are wrong, so someone should at least fix that before they get deleted.
>>12437214its neat when it works, but for some reason I get the occasional game it doesn't recognize for whatever reason. for example, PCSX2 doesn't recognize ANY of the Jak and Daxter games except Jak X, meanwhile Duckstation recognizes the DUBBED version of LSD: Dream emulator. idk why cause I've tried like 3 different Jak and Daxter isos.
>>12445739despite the others not having sets either, its still on there and no one made a fuss. so all it takes for some made up drama is to make a set? lol
>>12445840Did you make sure the ISO you're using is the same way in Supported Game Files on the games page?
>>12445841if i pretend that i'm offended, maybe people will make sets for my romhack instead
>>12445840jak 1-3 need to be patched for achievementsit pissed me off too
>>12445841They just now added the mature content warning to the page, so yes.
>>12445842Ah. Apparently I gotta patch it. I guess I don't use the site beyond checking progress. Weird since I've got both 1.0 and 1.1 but w/e
Swordless LoZ is harder than I thought it'd be.
>>12445883They put a mature tag because of Pedobear references and stuff like that.
>>12447916If it's because of pedo references, then the other hacks should have it too. Again, the real reason they did it is because someone is making a set for /v/3.
>>12445886>Weird since I've got both 1.0 and 1.1 but w/ethe patch on the site disables the debug menu so you cant just blow through the game with cheats, i think all the jak games make you use their patch unfortunately

>>12448754>>12445864>>12445886so does PCSX2 auto-patch ISOs or something? I can patch the all three games with Deltapatcher, but the next time close and launch PCSX2 the games go back to not tracking achievements. and for whatever reason now Jak And Daxter just takes me to a black screen instead of loading past the PS2 logo and I've tried like 3 different isos.this is mildly irritating.
>>12450693Just grab it from myrient before the site is gone. His RetroAchievement section has all the games patched and should work.
>>12450693>so does PCSX2 auto-patch ISOs or somethingno>I can patch the all three games with Deltapatcher, but the next time close and launch PCSX2 the games go back to not tracking achievementsare you 100% sure you're launching the patched games and not the 'clean' iso? perhaps check which directory you're saving the patched games in
>>12450709>>12450709>are you 100% sure you're launching the patched games and not the 'clean' iso?yeah, I was.well, It'll now consistently register Jak 2 and 3, even though I didn't do shit besides restart windows. it still consistently fails to load a fresh iso of Jak and Daxter off of myrient and IDK what the fuck I did because I was playing the damn game yesterday. also jesus these games are picky as fuck with the settings, but at least the eyes render properly now.
>>12450731damn, i'm not sure then. i just patched my iso of jak (think i got it from vimm's lair, but it should be the same as myrient), launched the game a few times, and retroachievements detected it every time.i do have a similar issue with retroarch though- if i haven't opened a game for a few hours, it'll always give me some error like 'failure to authorize achievements' or some shit. i usually have to start, close, then start the game again before it'll properly sign into RA.
>>12450749aight, so for whatever reason, the patched .chd version from myrient won't load past the PS2 logo, same as the untouched 1.0 iso (it will detect cheevos, though), but the unpatched 1.1 revision works fine? progress, I guess. it's too early in the morning for this tomfuckery.also I forgot this main menu music is the grooviest shit.
we used to make fun of crap like this
>>12450849times changed, old faggot. Time for (You) to stop living in the past.
>>12450263The Harry Potter games.
>>12437354>filtered, broken and humiliated by pokemonKWAB
>>12437214I realized there are too many good games out there to experience instead of being stuck playing the same game for too long as if it were a job. Life is short.Also, games are meant to be experienced, not viewed as a collection of tasks to be completed (like a job).
>>12450953Most games are based on a collection of tasks. Borderlands was literally just dozens of various tasks you have to do before facing a boss and moving on to the next area to repeat. JRPGs are the same thing, do a bunch of tasks (collect, find, escort, defeat, etc.) before facing the area boss.
>>12450985Natural and organic tasks tied to the game design are not equal to arbitrary tasks that makes no sense, like kill a boss X without using Y weapon and without being hit.Furthermore, speaking from personal experience, I regret doing achievements and any form of completionism (like 100%), as it will only made me hate the game and never want to play it again.
>>12451026>immediately moves the goalpostsYou lost>Natural and organic tasks tied to the game design are not equal to arbitrary tasks that makes no senseAlmost every game on RA is made up of at least 50%+ achievements that are just playing through the game. Then you have the last few that are the more challenging ones. Nobody is forcing anyone to do those if they don't want to. There's literally zero problem with them being there.>I regret doing achievementsAgain, most of those achievements are simply gotten by playing the game like you would without them. If anything, they're great as a mini guide & checklist of what you need to do.>any form of completionismNobody is forcing you to 100% a game, only you. This is a (You) problem that you're blaming on others.
so are pc-98 games allowed? Then why are clover and the other games not allowed?
>>12452916>>12452916>so are pc-98 games allowed?No.
>>12450873You lot are truly desperate for any kind of validation
>>12452916Less 'not allowed' and more 'not supported' atm. I think they more or less landed on 'adult themes are fine but not if the point is to be offensive'.Which really, this only includes a tiny amount of games. They removed Custer's Revenge (which is a shame, it had some funny achievements) and Clover, but not many others.But like, there are sets for Advanced V.G. and Pachinko Sexy Reaction, so it's not like smut is outright banned.
>>12453718They left up Hong Kong 97, so seems to be pretty inconsistent.
>>12453770I wouldn't be totally shocked if that one got removed solely for the infamous corpse, yeah. But I guess for the moment it's a 'if nobody complains, it's not really offensive' policy.Which, I mean, better than just drawing an immediate hard line using one mod's opinion and nuking a couple dozen sets.
>>12437214I would probably use but the idea of needing to register and login is ludicrousto me.These things could be local too you know...
Wii is retro according to RetroAchievements and GameStop.
>>12437214massive gay
>>12456461I mean, 20 years...
>>12456414You do it once, then your emulator does it. You can just print them and checkmark them if you prefer
>>12457713Dreamcast was added here in 2013, 15 years after its launch, so in 2028, PS4 will be retro too.
>>12437214I use it but the sets are hit or miss. It's fun to unlock shit and it's a way to keep note of games that I've completed without having to maintain a spreadsheet
I always figured a console starts aging toward retro the moment the manufacturer EOL and the last game gets release, and it sems that's not how /vr/ jannie trannie sees it: Dreamcast got the /vr/ nod around 2013, ~12 years after its last official games (NHL 2K2 in '02 NA). So the rule of thumb seems to be ~12 years from the final published game to mark true EOL and retro status.By that logic:Take the Wii U: same gen as PS4, but it's treated as retro already by retailers because support died early (last game around 2017-2020-ish, like Shakedown Hawaii). Meanwhile PS4's still kicking (Fortnite, Overwatch, Warzone, etc).With that being said, using Dreamcast as the base:>PS3 & 360: last games ~2019-2020 (Just Dance 2019 for 360, Shakedown Hawaii for PS3) retro around 2031-2032.>Wii U: last ~2017-2020 retro by ~2029-2032.>Wii: last ~2020 (Shakedown Hawaii in EU) retro ~2032.>NDS: last ~2014 retro this year or soon.>PSP: last ~2016 retro ~2028.Problem is Wii outlived Wii U in support despite being weaker and older hardware—kinda bullshit since Wii U's basically a beefed-up Wii with a tablet.My take: just lump PS3/360/Wii/Wii U in as retro by 2030-ish, and call NDS/PSP retro now. Keeps it simple and fair.I'm 100% sure this will make sense for both, zoomers faggots and hardcore boomers.
It's fucking cancer ever since they let looney troons in. Achievements and games are getting removed when troons troon out about them being offensive so it's a waste of time.
>>12437214I like doing achievements on Steam and consoles but Retro achievements are extremely autistic and time consuming
>>12453718>They removed Custer's RevengeI mean sure it's literally about rape, but it's still an important artifact in gaming history
>>12450976How autistic will the Brawl subsets be
>>12459094>time consumingJust like some on Steam. Not sure what your point is...
>>12459013b-but o7 Tele a-and shin-RA!! Is going to be more than a discord server I-I swear!!!Trans will change, everything will change ALL FOR THE BETTER
>>12459013>LE TROON TROON TROON TROONS RUINED EVERYTHINGone Atari 2600 set got removed and one homebrew without any achievements at all got removed, chill out little baby man
>>12459458why'd they get removed?
>>12459462Custer's Revenge got removed because it's literally just about rape and Pokemon Clover got removed because it simply wasn't worth the headache it was causing. Achievements weren't even out for it, but nobody could be civil about it so the admins basically said "okay this isn't even a retail game, this isn't worth it".They specifically said this was not going to be the norm and there are plenty of other rom hacks and retail games people have complained about but they're not going to remove them because that's just not a precedence they want to set.But as long as you're on 4chan, the narrative will just be "troons did it"
>>12459761so a certain demographic was causing headaches over something they personally objected to, and the chosen solution was to enforce that demographic's whims onto the people who weren't causing problems?whether they deny it or not, it sounds like whoever's in charge did set a precedent; that being that they'll do whatever you want as long as you're loud enoughit's foolish to think it won't happen again
>>12459782Except that's not true because "certain demographic" wanted a bunch of other games removed and they said "no".
>>12460056>they said "no"only after saying "yes" twice and getting push back for itand who was this "certain demographic" anyway?
>>12460086One you've made up in your head and you mentioned first.Your childish persecution complex is a waste of your own potential.
>>12460171so you lied? >>12460056
Smackdown 2 achievements are kind of fun. Gameplay on hard is frustrating at times, but still enjoying myself.
>>12437214the only reason i don't use it is because i have already played way too many games and would have to start from scratch with this thing, which doesn't seem nice
you whiteass bitch nigga I'm gonna master fucking Dragon Ball Bodakay Tenkechi and nobody can't stop mehell yeah
>>12461920I mean, you dont have to get the achivements for the games you already finished.
>>12437214I did, but then I got signed out and now I can't be bothered to sign back in
>>12459229did anyone even leave besides that one mod that legit got doxxed?>>12459761keep coping. it was legit xKeeper, a known schizo troon that caused everything to collapse
>>12463504>did anyone even leave besides that one mod that legit got doxxed?I was on Tele's ShinRA Discord server. Him and his retrohomies were saying that dude doxxed himself on purpose just to hurt RA.From hanging out there I noticed three things:Almost all of them are low-T dudes like Niptiki and Tele, or troons. Weak as hell.They don't respect Scott but they're scared shitless of him. That's why they never do anything and why talking about xkeeper was straight-up banned in the server.For most of these guys, RA is literally all they've got. They'd rather cope hard and accept xkeeper pulling a Ratatouille on Scott than risk getting permabanned and losing the only thing they have.The RA community is just weak millennials and their drama. You can still grab some value from the site, but for God's sake, don't talk to those retards.
>>12464131its so fucking gay, but i kinda expected them to be like that. All talk and no action. That's all these kinda people are.
>>12437262Nintendo never added achievements to their consoles, which I always thought was cool.
Who here is autistic enough to go for the Wii event's Rosalina badge? With these events I typically just aim for the bronze badges and if I naturally get any higher than whatever, but the Rosaline badge looks so kino I'm gonna go full autist for this one.
>>12464876I might, I think you need to beat 16 games for 50 points. I also don't have a Dolphinbar or any way of connecting my Wiimotes to my PC, so I'm stuck playing stuff without motion controls atm.I wish I knew about the site earlier as I'd love to go for the PS2 and GC launch badges. There are the 'Evergreen' badges for getting 100 points from mastering games and subsets, but the design is kinda ugly imo.
>>12437214Yes. Yes. But I don't look at the achievements before playing the game. I just think it's a nice little extra thing to have for a free little extra doses of dopamine.
>>12440529You can use FF on hardcore mode. And you can save state, but you can't load.
Did they kock out XKeeper yet?
