Was making a joke. You're right they're the same games but for collectors they want the wall of stuff to admire. I buy a lot of digital games but still get a lot physical for the shelf

Exactly what I was thinking.

Playing them all? Absolutely doable. Beating them all? If that means getting to the credits, also doable but a lot more time consuming. 100% them all? Probably not even theoretically possible anymore but also very, very unlikely to happen regardless (if they’ve got anything else to do in a day).

I think he just wanted to have them anyway, not play them all. Like all those 2k+ games steam libraries I see people have lol

I have over 1000 games between steam and gog. I've played about ⅔s of them. ~~Average~~ Mean play time is likely 30mins and only because of the dozen or less that I've put a few hundred hours into. Take those away and we're looking at like 10mins each.

I'm assuming you mean your mean play time is 30 minutes, because if your average is 30 minutes per game that would mean you have 500 hours of total play time, which would make you an extremely casual gamer. I have more than 10x that amount of play time in CS:GO alone. And I quit that game 6 years ago

Look, I'm a stone mason, not a mathmatologist. Yes...I meant mean play time.

I think project Gotham racing had an achievement to be #1 on the world leader board so I doubt thats going to be happening even if they're still online.

I’ll be frank, I refuse to play most rpgs without speed or money hacks. They do not care about wasting your time with inane bullshit, and I am too old to wait 6 minutes to beat up a slime. I could go on, but i won’t. Not right now. Another time, at random, with no coherent purpose in the concurrent conversation. That’s when I’ll spring my rant. And they won’t run. They won’t understand what’s happening until I’ve blocked the exits. They’ll learn, whether they want to or not.

Nah, dude. I'm with you.

Some buddies of mine all got together and tried replaying Phantasy Star Online. Back in 2002? High school. Fuckit Plenty of time to grind. Level 199-200 is more XP than level 1-199. The game is a grind.

The new fan server has a sandbox mode. All it took was me saying "guys. I'm 40. I'm not putting another 2200 hours into this fucking title to get back to where I was on Dreamcast and GameCube. I'm playing sandbox. Join me there if you want."

So now we just fuck around with mid-level characters with whatever fashionable weapons we can conjure up. We already put in our time. It'd be insane to do it all over from scratch.

We’d have achievement parties, work on multiplayer cheevos, and just compete for the highest gamescore in general.

I take it that "cheevo" is what people are calling achievements now.

Zahille7@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 208d (2 replies)

It's been a shorthand for "achievement" for a long time. In fact, there's an achievement in Fable 2 that's called I Did This For A Cheevo (maybe that was the description?)

From the name, I'm assuming unlocking it involves some sort of sex act.

I prefer when games own up to it, like how looking at the porny posters in Metal Gear Solid 2 HD unlocks "Snake Beater"

hahah that cheeto name is brilliant

TheTechnician27@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 208d (3 replies)

Some do, some don't. Within the PCSX2 project, a lot of members like to call RetroAchievements "RCheevos" (in large part, admittedly, because "RA" could be confused for "RetroArch"). Personally I think it sounds kind of dumb and prefer to just say "achievement".

R-chievement would be a more fitting name

RetroAchievements does call theirs Cheevos in many places, even some folder names, ans possibly in the code too.
