Comment on Console Commands and Mods Shouldn’t Disable Achievements — Consoles Are Holding Players Back for No Good Reason

  You know that by trivializing the value of achievements in the first place you also trivialize the importance of not being able to get them, right?

    I can’t parse your second clause so no idea what point you’re making.

    Your sense of achievement in your private endeavours is your own. Who cares if someone else plays their game the way they want to? I don’t use cheats in any of my games and I like to try to get achievements. But I don’t look at other people’s achievements or care if they got them legitimately. Why should anyone care?

      Your weak reading comprehension is your problem, but let me help you anyway.

      If achievements don’t matter, then your inability to unlock them also doesn’t matter. You’re complaining about not being given Nothing.

      Your sense of achievement in your private endeavours [SIC] is your own.

      Perfect, then you won’t care about being locked out of earning those silly little internet points.

      Achievements do not serve some great purpose, but what little purpose they do serve requires that earning them is done on equal footing. If the “100% Completion on Hardest Difficulty” achievement can just be earned by playing through the game with god mode on, or even just toggling a status from zero to one with console commands, then they go from serving very little purpose to serving none at all.

      So either achievements are completely pointless, and you’re complaining about not getting a pointless thing, or achievements have some value and you want them to have no value at all.

        Why did you [sic] their completely correct spelling and usage of a word?

        Your weak reading comprehension is your problem

        People in glass houses shouldn’t

        endeavours [SIC]

        imply that British English spelling is some kind of aberration that needs an editor’s note.

        It’s rich to start your critique like this because you have completely missed the point that I’m making.

        Enjoy being an arsehole [SIC] on the internet.
