>>732256189
>>732255617
you can use save states/rewinds but you only get the standard cheevos. Golds require hardcore mode, which disables save states (or more accurately it disables state loading), slowmo, and rewind
fast forward usually isn't disabled for hardcore mode, as in action games it will make it harder, and it slower games it may be so the game doesn't waste your time

hope RA stays around forever, i love it

You know how like, for years, /v/ anons joked about how there should be some form of verification that you've actually played a video game before you can talk about it on the internet?

Well RetroAchievements is that (especially since they've been actively bumping up anticheat and verification), and what you're seeing is either A) a shitton of posers that feel threatened over the fact that they could technically be called out at any time (even though realistically no one would actually share their profile here), or B) dinosaurs that are upset they might be called posers despite having played the games because they didn't do so in a verified manner

>>732261062

I like RA and some of my friends and me, all about 40, have been using the site on and off for almost a decade to revisit old games with some spice instead of just beating them for the hundredth time, sometimes you also just find gems you never heard about.
Some of course some can become tedious but some was cool, like in Lttp I would have never ever guessed that you can turn one random chicken into a woman.
That doesn't sound like much but I thought I know every pixel of that game.

>>732262641
There exists a subset of people whose only goal is to collect achievements, regardless of the quality or enjoyment of the game, as demonstrated by "easy points"
They can't differentiate between those and people who use them as additional challenges

why would i care about retroachievements when the devs will inevitably just release a remaster on steam with steam achievements for a quick buck, anyway?

>>732262374
most games other than fps would benefit from a fast forward. there's no way i would've gotten through baldur's gate 3 without speedhacking combat to run at 16x speed.
watching 30 units move and attack animate 1 by 1 for each turn in each encounter is excruciatingly bad game design. at least disgaea games have built-in animation skipping and speed dials (western devs will never discover this magic).

Mastering sets on this site can be fun and satisfying as long as you don't overdo it and save it for the games you want to play anyway.

I literally can't comprehend the autism involved in collecting achievements.

>>732269173
it's not much different from an in-game tracker for percentage or challenges
except that it ties all your games together which is based

>>732256189
>I don't know why /v/ is against this
I hate "hardcore" mode because it for some reaso disables quickly resuming play
it isn't hardcore to have to go through launching the game from scratch every time you want to play it

>>732269217
It's retro games. They are not that complex that you need a tracker for anything.

>>732256259
>t. triggered cheater

>>732269279
>for some reason
the reason is that games didn't have auto-save
they were designed around the scarcity of your saving ability
early ones had no saves at all, later ones had save points or save areas
being able to quick resume anywhere breaks the rules of the game
which is fine if you want to do that, but hardcore should not allow it as the point is to play games as intended
if it was up to me i'd ban fast forward too but JRPG autists would have to face the reality of their genre and they wouldn't be able to handle that

It's funny to me that there is a lot of infighting in this already giga autistic niche activity. It's like people fighting over who is the bigger autistic virgin.

>>732269421
Humans in a nutshell

>>732269374
So the literal cheating which is fast forward is allowed but the auto reload which is just a convenience feature is not. The autism olympics really have no ceiling in arbitrary rulesets.

>>732269374
but autosave at exactly where you are? you have to put some effort in to savescum using that, because closing the emulator saves the state where you were

>>732269537
the way quick resume is handled is through save states
and save states break games much more than fast forwarding
but yes, i agree that it's arbitrary. grinding in a JRPG at 1000x speed is cheating

>>732269337
Retro games are more complex than current ones

>>732269537
Save states can be used to effectively turn back time whenever you die and continue like nothing happened, infinite checkpoints where they weren't intended. Fast forward is more likely to get you killed if you use it in sections that actually require skill, in "safe" sections it only cuts down on tedium. is the logic

>>732269649
true for the most part

>>732269605
Grinding in a jrpg isn't skill based

>>732255309
what are those nortubel tier words what do they mean?

>>732269692
If you didn't sacrifice 100 hours of your life to grind to 99 then you didn't play the game

>>732255309
Uncslop is what your mom calls the cum your uncles shoot into her day and night, you little faggot.

>>732269692
just because something doesn't take skill doesn't mean you can't cheat it
it would still require effort and this effort is no longer required when you can just speed it up and hold down a turbo controller
you wouldn't be overleveled under normal circumstances because the effort required to get to that point would be too high for most people to consider it worth doing
fast forward completly changes how you play the game

>>732269374
>JRPG autists would have to face the reality of their genre and they wouldn't be able to handle that
To be fair, a lot of JRPGs are really snappy but some are fucking awful. I recently beat Grandia 1 on a Saturn emulator and I didn't know that fast forward is completely fucked on Saturn emulation. The game was really painful to go trough since every single thing that is not the default attack takes fucking ages to do.

>>732269692
With that logic you could also just skip grinding and just cheat the stats but that would make the game feel completely meaningless, right? It's all arbitrary shit.

>>732269818
>some are fucking awful
i agree, i mastered DQ II not long ago and the ending section of that game would've been even more awful without fast forward. still, that's how the game is. without fast forward, maybe i would've given up?

>>732269876
There is a mario pokemon rom hack that lets you use infinite rare candies like this and it ruined it a bit for me

>>732269928
That's how you achieve pretty much anything in life. When things become unbearable you compromise and add some relief. It's all infinitely better than giving up. Of course it always work best when one has some pain tolerance and takes a beating first before throwing in the towel though.

lil' broc thread

>>732270037
>When things become unbearable you compromise and add some relief.
That's doesn't sound hardcore. That's a softcore mentality. Which is why imo fast forward should've been banned.
I get it though, most people on that site are either 40+ or already mentally unstable enough.
It just makes Hardcore miss the mark a bit. For example, there a autistic subsets like grinding to max level at the beginning of a game.
The only reason these Subsets exist is because some autists 20 years ago thought it would be funny to put yourself through that grind.
With fast forwward though, there's no longer a reason for the challenge to exist at all as the whole point was for it to be a miserable slog.

>That's doesn't sound hardcore
It's all arbitrary. Regurgitate the thought enough times and you come to the fair conclusion that you are playing video games instead of doing actually challenging things in life.

>>732270545
Ofc it's arbitrary and i'm aware of that already. I don't mind the way it is now and i still enjoy playing this way. Just a different opinion on the subject.

I used to really think RA was really cool until I wanted to play some of the games.
Since only one autist can make a set, they make it as difficult as possible for some of them
It kinda sucks the fun out of some of the games

>>732271015
>Since only one autist can make a set
i've seen sets where the cheevos are made by like 3 different people
my favorite game's set is also not hard enough. doesn't even require 100% for some reason kek

>>732271015
If you think it's unreasonably hard you can discuss it and request a subset

>>732271015
It really does depend on the game. I really enjoyed WWE Here Comes the Pain RA but others have tons of speedrun stuff in there.

>>732256189

bumping up anticheat and verification is a response to an already-tainted dataset full of liars and cheaters.
it's already compromised. if you supremely fuck up the first half of a song in guitar hero you aren't going to get that 5 star rating at the end for FC'ing the last half of the song. you gotta start over.

and they can't start over without pissing off a bunch of people. lose-lose situation i have zero interest in getting involved with, ever. i don't need to prove shit to anyone.

Achievements are for people that don't enjoy games but just OCD. Any non retard just beats the game and does side content that he enjoys.

why is xe like this?

I mostly use it for games I already played and enjoyed and wanted to play again anyway, so the cheevos are good incentives for that.

They also serve as a reason to actually engage with parts of the game you usually don't have a reason to. For example I like the Mega Man X games, but with all life bar extensions + body armor part that halves all damage + 4 subtanks I never bothered learning the patterns of the fortress bosses since I could easily tank the damage through their fights just dodging the bare minimum, so even if it's just for a meaningless badge now I have a motivation to actually get good at fighting them, and I'm having fun in the process.

Casual gamers do this. Hardcore gamers push themselves and the game to its limit, and I think this is why I used to have a visceral reaction to this stuff.

Id look at an achievement list and think good lord that sounds awful. I didnt want to admit I was casual gamer who just plays the game on "regular hard" and all the content he comes across along the way, with no interest in "mastering tech" or "speedrunning" or whatever.

>>732281093
