Step one: play a game about a fox that has to perform the most boring and annoying tasks ever.
Step two: get all the achievements.
Step three: explode in rage as you find out the fucking medal system is broken.

Same problem. Both OCD and William and Sly made me angry in the past two days for their failure to provide medals for wasting my life.

I can't say that I'm a fan of this whole... rewards thing. On PS3, 360, or newgrounds. I mean, it's ok that they're in, I guess, but, my problem is with the people who shell out countless hours just to unlock some stupid 24x24 image acknowledging that you're made 100 grab counters.

I don't go out of my way to unlock those things, if I unlock it, I unlock it, if not, hey, so what, I might get it eventually.

Back in the old days, cheat codes were free, and we didn't need some achievement system for us to be satisfied with our 366 hit combo.

And then, there's those people who get in your face about not getting them (I personally have not run into anyone like this on PS3, or 360, thank goodness). But, maybe I can complete Megaman without getting hit, but, maybe I don't feel like doing it right now.

Again, it's not the system that I don't like, it's the people that go out of their way to unlock them. Shouldn't it be more rewarding knowing you unlocked it without actually trying to rather than spending all sorts of time getting it?

No one wants to watch you deflect 50 attacks in an online match, we'd rather see an actual fight.

The problem is, theres a big difference between soccer and an internet flash game that goes beyond the mere physical aspects. When you're playing soccer, and you want bragging rights, you don't want the "50-score achievement" or "50 game award" or some crap like that. You want to be the MVP.

Most Valuable Player. Now, that actually means something. That means you're "The Best". Sort of like how being a Valid Victorian makes you "The Best" of the school, and sort of like how winning a nobel prize means you're just an awesome dude.

You become the MVP by Playing. You get VV by Learning. You get the Nobel Prize by Doing Something Astounding.

You get "Achievements" by... doing the same thing over and over again X amount of times?... hitting some buttons in the right places...? What? Anyone can do something if you put a number on it. I can almost guarantee 98% of anyone who's ever won every achievement in a game NEVER DID NOR EVER WILL GO BACK TO IT. I want to find the person that plays that game every day regardless of what some "medal" says.

Achievements on this website should dump the metagaming feature and become limitless.

then again, i wouldn't waste my time with such senseless nonsense and rather post thoughtful posts.

nobody in the history of caring could possibly care as much about flash games as much as this implies.

Hey,

I dunno whats wrong with my account, but it doesnt record any of the metals I earn. I figured it was because of the outage before, but I just earned a few on the William and Sly game, but they are all still locked.

Response to Medal Outage 2009-07-27 15:39:26


Thank god William and Sly had a save feature then. Sheesh.

Response to Medal Outage 2009-07-28 02:06:24
