i have nintendo fatigue despite being a tendie. i hope the next major console added isn't the fucking 3DS and either original xbox or even the ps3 get added before it.

Achievements are the bane of modern games, why the hell would you want them in retro games?

I think xemu and cxbx are too fucked up still to properly implement RA, rcps3 maybe since it’s in better shape but it’s such a tendie rat nest there they would 100% try to ram 3ds through before that
>>
>>12591509
The users make the sets, right? If you have a problem, you add that shit yourself.
>>
>>12591523
This. I still remember some RA shills saying they totally would re-add the banned games, lol.

Most of the staff seems to have some sort of aversion to ps3 so i wouldn't count on that one.

>>12591521
in what fucking way are they even in conversation in modern games
even long time achievement hunters don’t give a shit about them anymore and just keep on because of legacy and habit

no one gives a SHIT about completing a steam game or a playstation title

ask four random people their favorite achievement and I’d be amazed if you got one single answer

I’m sick of this belief that achievements are remotely a modern gaming thing when the current best selling system doesn’t even have them

Not really, the bar for entry is like applying for full time job and after that they expect you to be very active or your "privilege" of making cheevos is revoked.
Pretty retarded if you ask me.

Well it's the one I remember most fondly because it actually felt like some silly time-wasting challenge to unironically brag about

tendies ruin everything with their obsession with the same 4 games they played when they were 10 years old

>>12591583
Sets but not when it comes to emulator or platform support, that has to be a large coordinate rollout by the site administration

Reddit boogeyman isn’t an argument, they’re particularly enjoyable in things like sports games, arcade ports, early racing games, etc. if you’re playing them single player. It’s enjoyable to try to beat some of them.

A) I like it, because it forces me to play games legit and not savestate-scum like a retard.

B) I like having a list of possible things to do, like it helps me discover parts of the game I was not aware of

and of course I don't care for 100% since my profile is private and i don't have any friends to brag about how many games I beat/

I was struggling to actually sit down and play games and someone recommended this to me, which seems to echo most people's reasons for getting into it. So I fucked around with it for about a week, thinking it might rekindle the spark video games used to give but no longer did.
What I found was, while it gave me some motivation to actually play something, it turned playing those games into a checklist of chores to complete instead of an enjoyable way to spend my time; all I wanted was to be done with it and move onto the next one. It was somehow less fun than simply not playing the games at all.
Spyro, a game I used to cherish, became something I forced onto myself for the sake of boosting a number that doesn't mean anything to impress people I couldn't care less about. Once I realized it was actively destroying a part of my childhood, I stopped engaging with it altogether.

Like, I get it. Tricking yourself into thinking you're being productive rather than wasting time playing around definitely resonates more with the adult mind, and maybe that's why people are drawn to it.
If it gets you to enjoy games again, that's great. But it certainly was not my experience.

why would you need this? you can keep a checklist yourself without any of this garbage.
