toxicitizen Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Are you sure? I know for a fact that it wasn't possible at launch and, after some googling just now, all I can find is either still no or "you can move the profile folder and it will be detected but only work in offline mode". Do you mean importing the levels? Or maybe it was a console-only feature? It doesn't sound like there's an official way to do it on PC, at least.

TheMightyEthan Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Yeah, sorry, there's not a way to do it yet on PC, because of the move to the Epic store. You can on console though, and they're saying they should have it figured out on PC in the not too distant future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Right, but isn't that for Hitman 3? Hitman 2 wasn't (and still isn't lol) on the Epic Store. The Epic store didn't even exist yet when Hitman 2 launched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Okay, it looks like from Hitman 1 to 2 you couldn't carryover your progress, just the levels. I thought that you could do both, like with Hitman 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxicitizen Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 While I appreciated the excuse to replay the campaign, Master difficulty had some truly bullshit moments in it. Nothing unmanageable with a little practice but there were some frustrating moments. That being said, I'm willing to forgive the game for it if only because it only has three multiplayer achievements, two of which you can get from the menu before you ever join a game. The other one is just to win a single game so you can just join any team-based game and hope you're lucky with the matchmaking. That's pretty awesome coming from a game where multiplayer is arguably meant to be the entire point. More games should follow this example. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate when a game has trophies like "Save three team mates from nearly but not quite dying, while they are carrying a pistol and a sniper rifle, you have an SMG, and the person shooting them is using a thermal scope, in one match." So not only do I have to be doing something correctly, but so does someone on my team, and someone on the other team, oh and it has to happen three times in a single match. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although at least something like this can easily be boosted if you're enough of an achievement hunter to actually give a shit at that point. I remember back in the day Killzone 2 had one that was honestly kinda fucked up. You had to be in the top 1% of weekly rankings (just looked it up to make sure I was remembering it right and the trophy guide said 'unobtainable due to server closure', so that's another fun thing about mp achievements lol). Like, I'm all for challenging achievements. Make me earn that shit. But also make it so it's realistically achievable for the average player? I'm not that good at video games, man. If I go online, I get destroyed. Period. Even back then, that one was functionally unobtainable as far as I was concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted April 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 I like the ones that aren't necessarily challenging but ask you to think outside the box. One of my favorite achievements is from the Ghostbusters game. You have to shoot the ham off of the bartmitzvah buffet table in the hotel level because it isn't kosher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted April 11, 2021 Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 Yeah, the best trophies/achievements are ones that have you do interesting things, not ones that have you do hard things. And multiplayer ones are the worst, because like Thursday says they require other people's "cooperation" to some extent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 I thought the dashes would be the longest and hardest part by far so I kept them for last but it only took me a few extra hours to 3-star them all. I quickly realized that the arrows often send you on a needlessly roundabout path and you're better off ignoring them and finding a shorter way on your own. A few of them even require it for 3 stars because the time limit is straight up impossible if you don't find a more direct route with mag rope anchors to swing from. So instead of being pure execution challenge on a time limit, it's all about finding the "trick" for this particular trial. That was pretty disappointing but I can't complain because it made them much easier than I expected. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted May 16, 2021 Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 (edited) Been meaning to do this ever since losing my 100% when the DLC released, so it's good to finally be done. Some of the DLC was better than I expected, especially End of Zoe. And upon replaying Not a Hero to unlock some stuff for my professional run, it was actually better than I remembered. I thought I was being slick in doing Ethan Must Die before doing my Professional/Joe Must Die runs of Not a Hero/End of Zoe and that it would be a breeze to clean up the last two achievements but they actually turned out to be much harder than I expected. Definitely way harder than the main game on Hardcore. I used video guides for tips and optimal strategies and I don't even feel bad about it. A lot of this bullshit is honestly unfair and specifically designed to fuck you over lol. If I had gone in blindly, I most likely would've ended up stuck in an unwinnable scenario somehow. Especially in Not a Hero. Now on to Village to do the same! Edited May 16, 2021 by toxicitizen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted May 16, 2021 Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 I was thinking I wasn't going to be able to get the platinums in the Mass Effect Legendary Edition, because they have trophies for beating them on Insanity, which nothankyou.jpg. But, it turns out they put all of those, plus the paramour ones, in the trophy list for the collection as a whole, so you can still get the individual game plats without doing those.

Wait, so each game has its own separate trophy list and then the collection itself also has one? Huh. Stuff like this kinda makes me miss Platinum trophies sometimes. On Steam there's nothing at the end, you just have all the achievements. A lot of games don't even have an equivalent achievement for the Platinum itself, Steam just has one less achievement. Like when I lost my 100% on RE7 after the DLC came out. There was no indication that I had ever completed the game. It just stopped being at 100% overnight without any distinction from having never done it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxicitizen Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 FFIII was much less of a pain in the ass than FFII. There were only 2 or 3 one-time dungeons you had to make sure to get everything from and like one non-dungeon area that becomes inaccessible later on. So for the most part I could just check when the next missable thing was and just enjoy the game blindly until I reached that part. FFII is a huge pain in the ass because if you don't check the guide constantly you're almost guaranteed to miss something. There's no insane bullshit like "reach level 99 on every single character" or similar shit that just wastes your time. You just need to be on the lookout for missable chests and monsters for the bestiary. None of the games required more than an hour or two of post-game work to wrap up. FFI is the only one with a monster that had a truly rare spawn rate. Took me over an hour just to get that motherfucker... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved FFVII Remake for it's chapter thing allowing multiple, quick, do-overs. As much as it pains me to say this, never play the Trails games. They've got missable everything. One of the worst example I can think of is in the very first Trails in the Sky game. Side-quests are usually posted on a billboard you're meant to check regularly and they all have different time limits based on main story progression. So a short one should be done right away but a long one you can probably progress the main story a bit without the window closing. Not too bad, right? But some side-quests aren't actually posted on the board. So for those you need to actually talk to the concerned NPC to get the quest. Normally this still isn't too bad because in these games you're meant to constantly be talking to all NPCs. They all have their own stuff going on and keeping up with their various stories is one of the appeals of the series. But there's this one hidden side-quest that you get from this one guy hanging out at a lighthouse in an area that's pretty far out of the way, that you only visit like once normally (IIRC not even though the main quest but from another side-quest that happens during a different time window), and that you're very unlikely to even think to check regularly. I was pissed when I found out about that one lol. The more recent games have gotten better about it but the early ones are pretty bad about this. Personally, nothing makes me lose interest in getting all the achievements in a JRPG more than an achievement list that is impossible to complete without multiple playthroughs. It's one thing for like Trails or Persona to do this, but fucking Tales of Zestiria is out of its goddamned mind if it thinks I'm ever replaying it. Although having a turbo mode that lets you fast-forward through combat animations and cutscenes does mitigate this a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 A fantastic game but a terrible achievement list. Literally every single one is "get ending 1", "get ending 2", etc. At first I didn't mind because I spent years under this assumption that the real meat of Chrono Trigger was in all the New Game+ endings and that they expanded the story somehow. And they're not that tedious to get since all you need to do is go through NG+ and go fight Lavos at various, specific points in the story. Your clear save lets you pick things back up right where you left off so, if you're careful not to miss any windows, you only need to do 2 playthroughs to get all the endings. But turns out most of the endings are just little joke endings or alternate outcomes to certain events due to defeating Lavos before reaching them. Most of them are basically just glorified credits rolls. The only thing that changes is the little slideshow you get. The first ending you get from beating the game normally with Chrono is the most satisfying and complete one by far. The very last one I did that's tied to an optional dungeon at least was all new stuff but apparently that's a tease for Chrono Cross so it's kind of ambiguous and I didn't really get much out of it.
