I like the idea but most sets are pretty fucking hardcore, so not really for me.

Most normal achievements are meant to show how far you got into a game, but "true gamers" think achievements have to showcase your skills at the game instead.

Dead Rising did achievements best. Everything the same value but some were very difficult while others just cared about you beating the game.

Achievements were always supposed to be challenges. The whole pitch from Microsoft when they introduced them was, "You ever do something super cool when no one's around and then they don't believe you? With achievements you'll have a record of it!" But then lazy developers couldn't come up with a minimum 1000 points worth of actual challenges so they started just giving you achievements for progressing and before you know it they were just a marketing analytics tool to see how far people got in games.

Either way, retro achievements are dumb. Just enjoy the games.

I don't know what the deal is with contrarian redditors lately. The weather's cold now, but it seems like summer never ended. Achievements are fun, if you don't like them don't use them. You have to go out of your way to set them up on RetroArch anyway.

Here is my proof, but I play for myself, the no life runs, score runs, 1CCs, etc I do them for myself not to show off. Even the videos I make I don't care if people watch them, I just enjoy doing them and knowing I have a video with it done.

Calling someone a poseur for not showing his "achievements" seems contradictory to me. If you look at Steam forums, people are obsessed with using guides and cheats to unlock "their" achievements. That would be being a poseur, not really achieving the thing yourself but caring about showing it.

What's even lamer is that they usually don't unlock anything. In game achievements outside of the system usually have unlocks, but I believe that Microsoft and co has blocked the idea of 'em unlocking profile pictures and such. So lame
>>9290241
Huh. That's a good idea, variable achievements Could have a minimum to unlock, then it records the maximum attained. So you can have this instead of needing in-game and outside of game custom account stats like some FPS has

Why are you zoomers like this? You cant do anything without letting everybody know. One of these days I saw a mf say he doesn't play old games and games without achievements because it is not registered therefore it is a waste of time. What a fucked up logic is that?

Shit record with most of these being really easy games, but i'm a mediocre player anyway.
There is also one non-perfect game among these for which i've got badge accidentally, because emulator glitched out and auto-gave me the last achievement.
