Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “You’re not “Achieving” anything”.
Next, one: hey dll: what do you think about achievement hunting in games? Is it ridiculous to go back and do all the little things just to achieve 100 % completion? Are you just trying to get different answers from the two of us, because I think we feel very differently about this? I uh I don’t get. I I just don’t get the dopamine hit from an achievement anymore. I just don’t care um. For me, I uh I. I think it’s it’s just that I I no longer have the energy and attention to to to grind at something.
If I’m not having fun, I will only yeah yeah. I think for me, it’s it’s like I. Actually. I think I only have two games on Steam ever that I’ve have 100 % completed, which I don’t know if that’ll surprise you or not, um Assassin’s Creed hold on hold on hold on hold on Black Flag.
No wait! That’S not on Steam, yeah, no BS, okay FTL, is that one yeah yeah okay hold on the other one. I am thinking you’ll get it. I believe. I’M thinking slay the Spire yeah man, I’m and is it is it like? Is our relationship no fun anymore? Is there any mystery left now that we can, just, I think, it’s still fun um? I I think I think we do sometimes need like outside things, though we like some new thing to talk about cuz.
It’S like. Oh, my goodness, there’s there’s too much. I I don’t remember what it was the um. What video was that the guessing computer prices, video yeah, there’s a bunch of comments where it’s like it’s just they just like know what the other one’s doing all the time like yeah you get used to it.
Um funny thing: is we don’t? Actually, we will sometimes go six months in a row without really interacting outside of wow for real, though yeah very rarely that long but regularly, we will go a month without interacting outside of wow, and there have been periods where it was that long, yeah, 100 % Yeah, it’s I don’t know it’s just a thing, but um yeah I don’t for for me, it’s like if I really like a game but I’m starting to lose interest, but I like want to be interested in it still. It gives me another. It’S like an alternative. Gameplay mechanic almost, but I almost feel like they’ve gotten too hard to account for the no lifes that are going to do it anyway, like what I’m going to go, find every stupid Coro in breath of the wild.
Like I hate that type of stuff, though, like I just I I know like the slay, the Spire ones, I liked a lot and the FTL ones. I liked a lot because it made you play in like a weird way. Okay, like are they figure out? It’S just a tedious walk the entire map pixel by pixel grind. I just don’t really I don’t really.
I can do that. Uh Assassin’s Creed. I actually hate the achievements for Assassin’s Creed. For the most part, you you 100 %, one of them uh I 100 %. The the synchronization, which was like basically perfect execution of every Mission, which was not 100 % of the achievements – oh okay, because Assassin’s Creed, like Assassin’s Creed, 1, had horrible achievements that were based around like there’s. I don’t know these like glowing. Feathers, there’s, like a thousand of them, go find them all it’s like dude. I don’t care at all this.
Doesn’T this doesn’t introduce a new way of playing the game? This doesn’t change anything. It’S just wander a lot. Um yeah, I don’t know like there’s other games to play. I think that’s a big part of it is now that there’s other games to play, and so so so so so many um wandering around just for the sake of getting a little.
You know thing that pops up in the bottom of the screen – I’m sorry I just can’t be motivated for it. I did get a little bit more into achievements in general during a kind of lull there near the kind of beginning of covid midco area where games were just trash cuz. I was like well I’m going to do something on my computer, so I guess this thing. I don’t know I’ll go get that, but in general I don’t like playing that way. .
