Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Sooooo you're doing something boring and uninteresting just because you get a medal for it?

Honestly, this kind of attitude is nonsense and I think you're an idiot for it. I'm not trying to be a dick, but if you don't "get" achievements, that's fine. But a challenge is a challenge. The medal is unimportant. It so happens that Dead Rising offers 50 challenges above the main thrust of the game. Why does it matter that this is labeled as "Achievement" and rewards you for accomplishing the challenge? How does rewarding you with a medal or points or whatever somehow invalidate the inclusion of the challenge, as you seem to suggest? People in G&T put forth this kind of attitude all the time and it is exceptionally retarded. You make it sound like you're personally insulted that they would dare reward you with an Achievement label for accomplishing something above and beyond what the main game requires. Let me just say that you are absolutely wrong and that the Achievements/extra challenges/whatever-you-want-to-call-them in Dead Rising elevate the game quite a bit.
No, you're doing something challenging because it's a challenge.
It's okay if you are fundamentally retarded on the aspect of challenge, but maybe you should go argue this point in a thread with other people as incapable of comprehension as you are.
At least you get better weapons for doing impossible stuff in TF2.
*edit: what I'm saying is: I don't want the game to tell me "hey, maybe you should do this totally awesome move..." I want to be creative myself and come up with the whole thing myself.

Achievments are really more like unlocking cheats in Goldeneye, really.
That's a good reason: fun.
and no im not being sarcastic here.

That's fine that you don't expect rewards.
But don't sit here acting like you're better than people who accept developer-given challenges simply because they DO offer some kind of reward.
I am late for work. If I had time I could specify exactly why your position is wholly without merit in great detail. And it's a G&Tism. Let's try not to poison D&D with this kind of rubbish please.
Bzzt.
Too tame! I was hoping for something more... meaty than just "bzzt".
That's just is: there is no reward. WAR offers you a fancy feather to stick on your head, most other games just chalk it down on your profile page and that's it. If a game is just going to spoil the creative things you can do they should at least offer some sort of reward that would lead to more entertainment.

If you honestly don't care about achievements then why does it bother you that they exist? Just ignore that they're there. I fail to see how mentioning that you've done something can spoil the actual doing of it.

Because they're often explained to you in detail. Not always, I admit and then i don't care.

you can't say I've done a disservice.
The girl, she's just a child.
She's got a lot to learn, and I'm helping out.
Your deceit is under your wing, you won't let her go
You know it's not appropriate-but all that hair...and porcelain.
You swear it's more than mere lust.
Into the fold.
If she knew what you do, the pristine routine to fool the rube.
The gentle gentleman, the loathed Lothario.
You feign you've changed your ways, but we know, yeah we know.
Can't you quell this need for submissives?
The Sheperd: Oh such lovely girls.
To lead each tender little lamb into the fold.
And you, my pet, "The Sweetest Yet"
I'll hold you closest to my heart
Into the fold
The Lamb: I was in the student union studying for an English quiz;
He came up and asked directions to the new auditorium.
We walked up and down the campus,
No one had ever heard of it.
He was so embarrassed when he realized he had the wrong college,
He offered to buy us coffee for the time and effort wasted.
We drank and talked for so long,
We started making plans for dinner...
The Sheperd: She was young and impressionable;
I pretedned to need directions.
She led me all over the campus
All the while, I'm asking her questions.
She agreed to a cup of coffee
That's when I startd to lay it on heavy
Once she learned I studied Dostoevsky, it was in the bag
So you're saying I should continue watching the show?
Ok. I like True Blood, btw.
Hey Hap. What's new?
Also, achievements don't preclude exploration and creativity any more than any other objective/reward in the game. This is like complaining about Pac-Man showing the score table for the bonus fruit and/or complaining that when you go out of your way to eat the fruit they have the audacity to give you points for it.
What's new? Old is new. And new is old. The world's practically turned upside down!
You should feel right at home.
our main AC unit is damaged thanks to the hurricane. it kind of sucks.

hence no 9AM class for me today
Well it hasn't asked me to update yet so I assume it was just maintenance.
