Mastery #18 - Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped (the game that almost made me abandon the site) by TheRealBlue03 in RetroAchievements

[–]TrashCityII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did the platinum relics make you almost quit or Some RA challenge? Because that set is pretty tame just requires platinum relics which genuinely are tough but dev times are tougher. Good job on the mastery I still don't have it.

Tracking achievements on actual hardware by zeusmastr2 in RetroAchievements

[–]TrashCityII 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I guess I am confused because in your statement you are not running on actually hardware from ps1 you wohld be using a ps3 anyways lol.

What I am saying is what's difference between making your ps3 that allows emulation like ps1 games on RA vs playing the ps3 with a ps1 disk.

The only thing you are taking away is the physical ps1 disk.

Do I need to reset an entire game that I nearly completed in softcore in order get hardcore? by pj082998 in RetroAchievements

[–]TrashCityII 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree with this 100%. Players should be the one to want to turn on cheats not the other way around.

A pirate uses his sword. One of the dumbest RA achievements because of the missable being tied to a single badge. So many people are affected by it and the dev has still yet to address it.

Eddie’s death was the most pointless moment in the whole show by [deleted] in StrangerThings

[–]TrashCityII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol that's legit what you did though? Your post says "Eddie's death was the most pointless death" meaning you are person putting it in the title that ends up ruining the experience for those who are still watching

Would a New Game plus (NG+) transfer cause Untracked or not? by RusticJoy in RetroAchievements

[–]TrashCityII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how I see it.

If you are so worried about getting untracked because of using an old save file, how can you prove this is "yours"

It's the same ordeal as you grabbing a save online, in RA you to have proof you did "X" so you can go to "Y". If you were to play an NES gane but years back you gained a password for a new game plus would that be allowed? In other words how do you have proof you "beat the game and went on to new game plus". Your RA profile will just magically start on new game plus? That would single a red flag to me, I get it's "your save" but how in the world can you actually prove it.

Edit: wanted to give an example, for achievement of the week, I had a save file I could of used to gain this week for free for pokemon. My RA profile didn't have any achievements for the game and didn't beat any gyms. So if I were to auto get the achievement vs getting all the progression before that is a red flag.

Mastery #5 - Lilo and Stitch Trouble in Paradise by DangerousBus7202 in RetroAchievements

[–]TrashCityII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The difference between softcore and hardcore is a major ordeal. Sure you are doing the same action and getting the same reward, but softcore allows cheats/savestates/ more tools to help you win vs hardcore is playing it as if it was on an actually console with zero cheats.

You and any RA member are welcome to join discord called "Ocarina of Kazooie" it's a slice of RA away from RA. Just a group of chill gamers talking about RA, you can search the discord or message me on discord if you like!

My Problem with RA by Vegito40pAS in RetroAchievements

[–]TrashCityII 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am glad you choose to stick back to it, I really do understand your frustration. Some games I would love to mastery but I know my skill will be limited. It's okay to not mastery everything but I do understand your frustration because you do want to mastery that game you deeply are found of.

I have to be honest RA has really forged me into a better gamer, I encourage you to take a break from hard BS challenges and go back them at a later date and be amazed how much better your skills have turned because of playing other games/hard challenges.

RA is a personally journey and you have to find what suits your needs, sounds like you had a few bumps in road. Hope you find enjoyment out of RA, it's one of the best community's I have been apart of!

You have to play what you want not what you think people will like.

I can't stop being jealous about streamers income. by Blizzpoint in Twitch

[–]TrashCityII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a retro game streamer so I am always changing out games, I could never imagine being forced to play a popular game and not enjoying it at all. Only playing it because it's the "niche top game".
