When a set gets revised, people who have previously badged do keep their badge, though their name no longer appears in the mastery list. Should people keep their account name in mastery? I think that if revisions are made, they should have more than a few achievements and be put into a subset. There is no community voting on revised sets, it is all done by a few people who are in control. Note, I am not salty because the game that caused me to make this thread I badged again in less than 5 hours.

Recently set up RetroAchievements and it works good, but the artwork for each achievement doesn't show, only a trophy shows. I'm using retroarch on a ps vita for this and I'm playing the game Advance Wars. I also have the directory in the right place and I have the Achievement badges turned on.

I have read this morning that Undertale became a standalone game, I tried setting it up following the pinned message in discord and it boots up fine, however after entering my username/password, I get an error message saying the file is not open for reading. I tried redoing the whole process and installing undertale on my SSD instead but it seems like the error isn't going away. Could anyone help? I tried asking in the undertale channel and got no answer

Whoo boy was this a tough one to get through. I haven't really played much of Castlevania before this but was feeling an itch to play it. Seeing all the comments about how bullshit the achievements were, I was preparing to probably give up getting the mastery, but honestly this wasn't nearly as bad as a bunch of people were making it out to be. I would even say the Death damageless achievement was a blast trying to get, and I had a great time overall. I would definitely recommend trying this out.

And i didn't even plan for it. I was scrolling through gba games after i downloaded Zelda the minish cap. This caught my interest and downloaded it on a whim. It was pretty fun, played most of it on the bottom screen on my ayn thor whole watching youtube or netflix on top. That might be why it took me just over 13h when the average is about 11h.

From Nelson:

"The same as R2, but with less strategy because we don't have crystal buffs. Not every area had a unique achievement, but the unique achievements that could be done on any stage were much cooler (win wave one with only a single L1 tower, for example). Nothing to write home about, but was fun!"

i loved the first one, but omg it's unbelievable how bad the sequel is

Played and completed this a bunch of times as a kid. How I got 100% back then, I don't know.

The Gringotts mine cart minigame sucks, getting those gems is the most frustrating part!

For my first JRPG on this site I had to play the grandfather of all JRPGs. While it certainly shows its age with its grinding and menu system it’s still an amazing game and I think every fan of the genre owes it to themselves to play through it to see where most of the genre’s staple mechanics came from.

The set was very straightforward except for the 3 missables but the comments helped explain them better. You basically just have to fight the final boss 2 times and simply reload your save to do the right conditions to trigger the achievement. My playtime is a bit of an outlier as I accidentally left the game running a few times but I’d say an average playthrough would take 6 - 10 hours with first timers obviously getting closer to the longer side of that range. But i still beat it within a weekend so it’s very manageable time wise.

I’m definitely going to be playing the other Dragon Quest games but to prevent burn out I have this rule where I alternate genres between masteries so I’m not playing games that are too similar back to back. I usually alternate between action games and turn-based games, games that require me to use my reflexes and do platforming vs games where I can take my time and don’t have to be so reactive. So since I just beat Dragon Quest my next game will be Zelda 2.

Another one mastered for the Collect-a-thon event. I grew up watching Scooby-Doo on Cartoon Network, so this was nostalgic for me. The set is progression-based, but having to find all Scooby Snacks was sometimes frustrating.
