Red Bull Games Australia has explored just why it's important Nintendo looks at adopting and Achievements/Trophies-like system...
Here's an excerpt:
"Nintendo makes games about bragging rights. It might be incidental, but their basic design of games is essentially a service to completionism. The bare minimum still exists for non-completionists, because that’s how Nintendo goes about it, but their in-house games are designed for gamers to explore every little thing; to find new secrets and hidden goodies -- to collect ‘em all, if you will.
120 stars in Super Mario 64. Skulltulas in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Routes and Medals in Lylat Wars (or Star Fox 64 for non-Aussies). Chozo Artifacts and 100% scan completion in Metroid Prime. Racing ghosts in Mario Kart(s). Your damn Pokemon collection, from common to rare, to legendary – Nintendo’s game-design philosophy is about 1-Up-manship (heh). But beyond personal accounts, or playgrounds and watercoolers, there’s no tangible evidence of any level of completion for players in a digital social sense..."
Naughty Dog has multiple single-player games planned.
Finally, the Vietnamese government has officially responded to Steam being blocked in the country.
VPN to buy games, fuck that if it's allowed or not, or just use a VPN and torrent what you can.
If the game is crap then yes there will always be negative feedback it comes with the territory. It's called word of mouth or welcome to the internet. Where the truth about a game comes out really fast whether the game is good or crap. If you can't handle the criticism because of a game then why publish the game. Why should people who never criticized or even played the game be punished? Vietnam has some really screwed up laws block Steam because they don't answer us rule. And going on a witch hunt with Steam please. Where's the proof, where's the evidence of this witch hunt. Somebody is butt hurt and has a Vietnamese Karen leading the witch hunt.
The talented music maker discusses her process, challenges and, of course, magic!
Yes!!! Reason I dont want to get some multiplats on the switch is because of the lack of the system. Love platinuming games I love and itd be amazing to be able to do the same for botw and other first party games.
"Being passive is a loser activity for losers." - Red Bull website confirmed. Sheesh, guys, let's dial it down to a 7.
I always thought the achievement was completing the game, but I'm cool whether we get these or not.
Nintendo games usually have some form of individual achievement system in them any way. I don’t see why they shouldn’t implement a system wide feature like this
who honestly uses trophies / achievements for bragging rights? I would fall over laughing if someone actually tried to use that against me..
100 moons and you get a star!
