  • Is there any way to get achievements working on GOG pirated games?

    Jump

  • Bro I got bad news for you, even the smallest child is qualified to question anything. If you get angry and start pissing your pants instead of giving a good answer, nobody will respect you, but you might scare a small child away from their natural curiosity.

    If you're a child, you probably shouldn't be on Piefed unspervised to begin with. I'm not here to babysit you.

    I’ve been playing video games of every genre (as I already said, good job reading my comment before angrily ranting that someone doesn’t care about a thing you like), including fighting games and shmups for decades. I have yet to meet a single person who needed to earn an achievement in order to learn how to perform a hadouken.

    How the fuck does a hadouken qualify under any of the categories I mentioned? How do you sound so ignorant every time you type anything?

    Seriously dude, you just came in here all immediately butt-hurt because I exist and don’t agree with you? They’re games.

    I don't give a fuck about you or what you stand for, but you go around being condescending to people for no fucking reason, I'll call you out for being ignorant and arrogant. Welcome to open forum discussions.

    If you need a trophy for playing, you might not actually be having much fun. I don’t understand an attitude like that hurts you so deeply, but for what it’s worth I’m sorry and do hope your day gets better.

    Literally everything you said so far in this discussion beams with ignorance. Not really sure how you still have the confidence to make judgment or hand out condescending, unsolicited advice. Next time you see a topic you clearly don't care about, consider not butting in, or don't complain when you get called out.

  • Yeah, that makes sense. Glad you moved on from that.

    RPGs tend to have a lot of meaningless collectathons and I see why getting wrapped in that can lead to burn out. Games with FOMO cycles are a whole different breed, almost, or rather straight up, predatory.

  • Who cares about achievements? Play the game and have fun. To put it another way: if it’s no fun without achievements, have you considered that could just be a bad game?

    Also, me expressing my personal philosophy = “holier than fucking thou”? Man, grow up.

    Right, needlessly dismissive and patronizing = personal philosophy. Very grown up of you, mighty adult.

    I’m talking about optimizing for fun instead of letting a game hand me a list of chores to do on my weekend. The specific games in question aren’t really relevant are they?

    They absolutely are fucking relevant and you're ignorant for not knowing they are, and arrogant for thinking you're qualified to question why OP needs achievements.

    If you think of achievements as a "list of chores" then you simply do not play enough genres to have encountered achievements that meaningfully interact with gameplay in any sense, which's fine if you're minding your own business, but you're not.

    Action games exist, shmups exist, fighting games exist: games that cleverly use achievements to push you to up your skill level, add replayability value, or discover hidden mechanics.

    If you think everyone who picks up a controller is looking for a sandbox to fuck around in, you're so disconnected from this medium, I don't even know why you decided to comment on this thread.

    Jump

  • What kind of games do you play? If the game you play has any complex mechanics, you may be thinking you're doing something right when you aren't. Achievements checks help with that.

    Jump

  • The games that want to use achievements as challenges within the game usually have a separate achivement menu/system inside them for that purpose, so they are tied in the game properly.

    Not always. It's easier to delegate it to the platform than bake it inside the game. This has been the norm for many niche genres for a long time.

    Jump

  • The people you're replying to clearly don't care about replayability; I'm guessing they want either a sandbox environment with no rules or to beat a game once and move on. Don't bother arguing back. It's a waste of time.

  • I strongly believe that achievements killed my passion for gaming and replaced it with a desire to complete, or 100%.

    What games did you 100%?

  • Lastest Riot Vanguard Update Can Brick Your Hardware (If You're a Cheater)

    Jump

  • This was debunked, I think. It apparently doesn't permanently brick anything, and mainly targets extra hardware bought primarily for cheating.

    Fuck Riot though. Glad 2XKO is not doing too hot.

  • What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ?

    Jump

  • Maaan, easy: soulslike. Combat so slow, they're the closest real-time combat will get to turn-based. Everything moves at a snail's pace in most of those games, holy shit.

    If I want difficulty, I'll just play Bayonetta or Ninja Gaiden or something, it does not need to be slow and boring AF.

  • What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ?

    Jump

  • Yeah, but building a dream team is so fun if you're a fan of the sport. Or if you're doing a challenge like only U20 players or only African players… etc. This wouldn't be anywhere as good if everyone was fake.

  • That’s the appeal of the game.

    Except KH2 and 3 have genuinely good action gameplay. Like, so good some people rank it alongside Devil May Cry and shit.

  • Actually, PES and FIFA used to get really good gameplay updates back in the 2000s. Like, the difference between FIFA 2002 and FIFA 2003 was massive, for example.

    Then they realized they're too big to waste money on actual development and went all in on licenses and marketing. It's been shit ever since.

  • Football like PES or FIFA? Or Madden?

    Because PES was a whole different beast: like, a proper VG with actual meaningful gameplay changes (for the most part) between versions, and FIFA used to be like that in the 2000s.

    IDK about Madden though; I only played a couple and they were fine, but I can't vouch for their quality or pinpoint when they stopped being fun.

  • Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?

    Jump

  • I spent about a year eyeing Gori: Cuddly Carnage from afar until I picked it up a few days ago thinking I'll just beat it in about 8~10 hours and go back to playing Homura Hime… I'm 17hrs in… beat the game and going for the 100% because it seemed very doable and the game is fun.

    I don't even know who to recommend it to… technically speaking it is an action game, but does not play like any other action game I know. The platforming isn't exactly Tony Hawk Pro Skater/Jet Set Radio either… it's not even Rollerdrome… so IDK. It is fun though… just requires some suspension of belief and embracing it for what it is.

  • PS5 console sales drop 30% in April after price increase, while Switch 2 dominates

    Jump

  • Honestly, even with original prices, and even with the rising cost of computers, I don't see myself investing in anything stationery that isn't a PC.

    I don't fuck with Nintendo and I don't see myself buying a Switch any time soon, but this is still 100% more likely to happen than buying a PlayStation.

    Another factor: Nintendo actually make games that look like they're happy being games while most Sony exclusives look like they'd rather be movies and begrudgingly settled for being games. I hate that so much.

    Luckily, I don't have to worry about any of this for now. Steam Deck FTW.

    Platinum better find a way to bring Astral Chain to Steam though 😅
