I never cared about Retroachievements but I felt like replaying MGS for 100% just funs but I realized there lots of things I never knew in the game. even though I beat this game hundreds of times since I was a kid on PS1
it's actually impressive how many secrets it has

Did you know you can use a physical notepad to set your own goals/things you want to accomplish in videogames?
No account needed, just a paper and pencil.

When I was a kid, I used to map out dungeons and shit in a notebook. On Sundays after church, I'd transfer the notes to clean white sheets using graph paper underneath as a guide.
One day some friends were over, one saw my five-star notebook and went "hey guys, you gotta see this." When I showed them my 3-ring binder with the neat copies on clean sheets, they couldn't believe it.
My dad suggested I sell copies to my friends, so I did.
Without realizing it, I was practicing my handwriting and organization the whole time. Good days.
Guess my age.

Retro achievements are not retro gaming. They were invented in 2012 and thus break the rules of this board.

have they readded the banned games already?

why bother playing games when you can just play with pen and paper.

Look at this gaymer loser

It's literally a gay web site that injects malware into your computer to "verify you didn't cheat at old games."

I can't believe they bought an ad. It's Israeli-owned too lol.

>>12677343
It's been overshilled. You should have learned from the DNC's (your) failures, overshilling is actually worse than no shilling at all. But you get shekels if you shill, even if it hurts your clients, so you have to lie and say "bad press is good press" or whatever you kikes say lol.

Your old shit isn't working any more, and your Talmud-brain is incapable of learning so you just keep trying and blame the would-be victim. It's sad, Hitler was right about you people.

I'm not against in game maps, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with games that expect you to draw them or just use your memory. Even more so if its not just a random maze but a dungeon designed logically as if it were a real location.

You're trying to avoid the point. The shitty web site OP is advertising has been overshilled here, which means people are shitting on it hard now.

This is how web sites get killed and their owners are never ever ever able to get a telephone number ever again. Stupid jew.

Same anon. I just do it without the videogame like a sad loser. I make side quests of jobs i have to do around the house and then cross them off as I do then.

Low IQ retard detected. Please fuck off and die with your dumbass comments.

OP I totally agree with you and I've been saying this shit for a very long time but the autists on this board just like to hate on Retroachievements for some reason. Not only can Retroachievements teach you things about your favorite games, but it is also a fantastic place to find romhacks that you've never heard of before and translations for popular games that you didn't know existed. Recently I found the best (no exaggeration) THE BEST shmup ever made on the DS and it is CAVE's Ketsui but condensed down into a boss rush mode for the DS but it was only released in Japan. I found an English translation and now I'm playing it. It is unfortunate that it is a bosses only mode but it absolutely helps you learn and practice the boss patterns for when you want to try your runs with the real arcade game.

didn't they turn on him and say he doxxed himself or something? w/e happened to that guy? probably left the internet for awhile
>>
>>12681227
>didn't they turn on him and say he doxxed himself or something
yeah, first they said he faked his doxxing, then they pivoted to (and I'm not joking) his own wife did it, using their baby as a threat, because she wanted him to spend less time working on the site and more with his family, lol
>w/e happened to that guy
no idea, hope he's doing alright

These marketers always employ the same tactic
>Push for a bullshit and completely unnecessary gimmick gated behind a platform
>"Oh, you hate our bullshit? Why are you mad lmao. I'm having fun!!!"
I have nothing wrong about challenges. And in fact, it's always good to attempt a reasonable challenge and gently push your limits.

But it's so clear they're pushing that bullshit down our gullets in hopes of securing down their platform and gatekeeping "tr00 gaming" through an excessive quantification logic and data-harvesting practices.

That's their business model. And that's why people hate it.

Tranny admin of tcrf joined RA just to complain like all trannies do. and got a bunch of other fags that joined his circle on RA forums
Has like 1 game cheevo on his profile
Complained so much that the admin of RA came back from doing jack shit for almost a decade (his mods were basically running the site) and sided with xkeeper about Clover and other "toxic" games that should be banned.
and all the other stuff posted here basically, but theres more
>>
>>12681915
Thanks for proving my point.

>>12682117
I'm glad I use tcrf and RA without touching the forums

There is nothing wrong with doing this with bad games with interesting premises

>>12682293
You're complaining about data harvesting on a website that HARVESTS your data and then sells that information to keep 4chan running. You don't have a point. Even your original message is "It doesn't bother me but here's why it does."

Moving goalposts.
The amount of information divulged on 4chan is significantly less than R/A. You don't have to make an account or install surveilling software.
And you choose what to say.
If you wanna say nigger, sure, say nigger, tranny, kike, etc. This is not tied to any account and it'll be hard to trace back to you.

I'm indeed bothered because shit is a shitty ideologue that's being pushed, warping the fundamentals and misappropriating of what retro gaming means.

You people suck and can fuck off back to your fart sniffing discord rooms. Buy and ad and get the fuck out.

RetroAchievements are awesome precisely because they are made by fans, and super-fans at that, so they're usually thoughtful and genuinely fun.
