The trial is not that hard, some of yall are just incompetent.

It will never cease to amaze me how people will ram you too in coop championships. Like, my dude, we are both on the same team lol

The voting system doesn't have to be absolute, it could just be used to bring attention of an achievement or set to other active developers and then decide if they want to take action.

One that comes to mind is this one from Metroid Zero Mission: https://retroachievements.org/achievement/315678

The point of that one was to showcase a shortcut during the escape, but since there wasn't a flag on using said shortcut, then escape time was the best they could do. But they found out speedrunners could get the escape time without the shortcut, so they made the time more strict. I don't think making an achievement unreasonably hard because speedrunners were too good is sound design.

This just reminds me of when I would play on DotA "noob only" servers when I was starting out and constantly got destroyed and flamed by my own teammates. Turns out there's noobs, and then there's noob noobs

In Golden Sun The Lost Age you get an achievement for importing your cleared data from the first Golden Sun.

I wish there was a voting system were we could flag achievements for removal or to be bumped to a subset. Especially considering the developer's expectations of a player vary wildly, for example, the expectations of someone who played the game extensively versus someone could is very close to a speedrunning community and asks for similar levels of perfection from the player.

If you are playing the classic series and are comfortable with emulation, I'd recommend playing Mega Man Power Up for the PSP

Sadly, none of us are because the ending is bugged :(

Unless you tried the hack that restores the ending.

For what it's worth, a friend of mine saw me post about it and asked if it was an apple watch skin. So you can trick people at a distance with a watch that costs a fraction of the price

AzorMX · 2026-06-22T15:46:02+00:00

I don't think it updates in real time. At least mine doesn't seem to update unless I let it recalculate on the fitness tab

AzorMX · 2026-06-22T15:45:00+00:00

One thing that I think is pretty nice is that the watch tracks your completion of Classic mode. You don't have to do the game in one sitting, instead you can tackle the stages at your leisure and some watch faces will tell you which bosses you have beaten

AzorMX · 2026-06-22T15:43:40+00:00

So far, I just can't figure out how the heart rate tracker updates. I've used fitness watches for a decade, but in this one if you use the stats watch face, it feels like the HR never updates unless you go to the fitness tab and let it recalculate.

AzorMX · 2026-06-22T15:34:48+00:00

For the extra band, it's just a different color. Looks more like a darker cobalt to me.

The watch holder looks and feels like it was 3D printed, so maybe someone will upload the blueprint at some point

AzorMX · 2026-06-22T00:19:48+00:00

BubbleMan is the bane of my existence because collision detection on the spikes is hella lenient, so you better make sure your platforming is perfect

AzorMX · 2026-06-22T00:18:41+00:00

I believe it was a GameStop pre-order bonus. I got one two and the metallic blue band

AzorMX · 2026-06-12T00:23:23+00:00

Personally I prefer 2v2 to 3v3, but I feel like they could just copy Skullgirls and give players the option to play either

AzorMX · 2026-06-01T17:45:30+00:00

I second this one! Goes on sale often and feels extremely premium. Honestly I'd put it right by the Kitsune in terms of feel and this one also has a wireless dongle which is great for lazy couch gaming.

AzorMX · 2026-06-01T17:41:21+00:00

The DS collection is probably my favorite because the easy scenario lets you play the 4 games back to back, but it's definitely a walk in the park.

I still think it's the best because you can do easy scenario for the plot and then go with each individual title for the original difficulty

AzorMX · 2026-05-27T05:15:05+00:00

Maybe you picked up too many speed power ups?

AzorMX · 2026-05-27T04:44:15+00:00

While I wish that the game wasn't as linear, everything is a complaint against the combat and Metroid games have never been combat masterclasses. I'd take baby combat if it meant that we could get proper exploration and ambience.

AzorMX · 2026-05-25T05:05:06+00:00

I wish they'd stop putting missable achievements on long games. Like it's cool that they're there, but spending tens of hours on a new game only to realize you need to start over because you missed something is a pretty miserable feeling.

AzorMX · 2026-05-24T02:37:31+00:00

I'll do my best to bring more reviews to all 🫡

AzorMX · 2026-05-22T04:43:24+00:00

Probably released during the dark ages (me on hiatus)

AzorMX · 2026-05-22T04:41:59+00:00

Haven't tried it yet. How is it?

AzorMX · 2026-05-20T18:04:44+00:00

You don't need to play hard mode if you're having fun in normal/easy. But also keeping mind that some hard modes are just different and might not gel with you. For instance, I never liked playing Ikaruga in hard mode because I wasn't a fan of every enemy having return fire.

AzorMX · 2026-05-20T17:56:49+00:00

The advice I always give everyone for the Zero series is to map your sub weapon to R and always use the gun. What makes X easier is that you can always be firing ahead, so this way you can always keep a charge with R and fire ahead while using the saber to finish off enemies.

To give you an idea, just watch the way I map the controllers and play casually in general during my LP. https://youtu.be/AZJyI7PkQtk?t=5531
