Date: February 26th, 2026 3:11 PM Author: incel adams Maybe but youngsters are bombarded with free ipad games and endless roblox shit I don't think they are playing this stuff, its just losery old redditors demanding more hours for their dollar (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5838669&forum_id=2#49697277) |

Date: February 26th, 2026 2:17 PM Author: incel adams achievements & trophies. Just run the credits when I beat the game. Maybe give me a star icon if I 100% it. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5838669&forum_id=2#49697145) |
|
Date: February 26th, 2026 2:19 PM Author: Mr. Content personally i think achievements are uninteresting but a lot of people like them so i think it's ok
but when games are constantly shoving them in your face it's fucking cringe and annoying. or when anything is actually gated behind "achievements" that's an instant Drop |
|
Date: February 26th, 2026 2:21 PM Author: incel adams I think just build goy tasks into the game organically like mario does. It has like collect all the secret coins and end level flags etc. To 100% the game (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5838669&forum_id=2#49697161) |
|
Date: February 26th, 2026 2:30 PM Author: Like Clavicular but maxing annoying screeds (gunneratttt) i like them because it shows what % of people did a thing. it's interesting to see how many people went down x path, experienced some rare event, or completed the game on different difficulties.
there are way too many of them and usually are just used as some skinner box sense of accomplishment. that's gay. |

Date: February 26th, 2026 2:38 PM Author: michael doodikoff i never understood "achievements" or people who obsess over them. WHen I beat the Game, its time to move on to the next in the Backlog, not backtrack to try to find nit picky bullshit to "100%" the Game (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5838669&forum_id=2#49697211) |

Date: February 26th, 2026 2:58 PM Author: ,..,,,,,,....,,,..., This is the #1 answer. Tell me how much shit this motherfucker can carry; I don’t want to sort shapes to cram in an extra sword that I’ll sell when I get back to town. Ideally give me gold directly rather than making me simulate being the African guy sorting through garbage for scrap metal I can sell.

Date: February 26th, 2026 4:11 PM Author: Like Clavicular but maxing annoying screeds (gunneratttt) i like this because it can add additional dimensions to what you can have. if an item takes up whole horizontal row you cannot carry something that takes up a whole vertical row. but if they were just reduced to weight you could carry both. it's not much different than only being able to equip one weapon and one accessory. the devs can design items that make it impossible to use with others in a way that just boiling them down to weight wouldnt.

Horizon Zero Dawn and modern Ghost Recon are the worst examples of this that I have seen |
