you were in softcore mode, so you didn't master the game.

WanderingNepNep 22 May 2022 21:30

That's your opinion.

I got the badge, so as far as I care, I mastered it.

Mutawarrior 23 May 2022 06:24

That's not opinion, on RA mastering a game literally means unlocking all its achievements in hardcore mode.

WanderingNepNep 23 May 2022 06:34

Nah, I'll believe it when a Developer or Mod/Admin says that, not a few fellow Registereds.

WanderingNepNep 23 May 2022 06:50

Especially not a couple of registereds who are quite frankly coming off as being very rude about it.

Olafur 23 May 2022 08:57

look, I apologize if I came off as rude, that was not my intention. But he's right. If you hover over the badge in your profile, it says "completed". Hovering over a badge with a golden border says "Mastered". I'm sorry, but that's just how it works.

WanderingNepNep i hope you where aware about hardcore mode you have so many badges i hope you don't want to do them again 😅 btw most achievements are not easier at all in softcore mode. so unless you want it to look very clean you can get some extra points by turning hardcore mode on for the first few easy achievements and then turn softcore on to complete the game.

Mutawarrior 23 May 2022 10:33

I was a developer until I retired, but that doesn't make a difference. FAQs & other documentation of RA defines mastering a game as that. Like Olafur said, you can see it by just hovering over any badges you have.

Glendaal 23 May 2022 11:10

Pretty easy to figure out, if your name is not on the latest masters list, then you didn't master the game, and it's pretty logic really, you can't say you're a master in a game if you cheat your way to the end by using save states and slow motion

WanderingNepNep 23 May 2022 16:50

Oluf & Mutawarrior - I'm sorry for the mistake then, I'm also sorry for being a bit rude and stand-offish in response. I'll say "completed" instead of "mastered" from now on.

WanderingNepNep 23 May 2022 16:53

Sachiel - Honestly, I'm not interested in the extra points. I just want to play the games and series I grew up with and loved and try to do everything in them. And honestly, I prefer having a fast forward button do make it through long unskippable scenes faster, and a save state button for when I have to stop and go do something else irl.

Olafur 23 May 2022 17:22

Hey it's alright man, I get it. Just a heads up, you can still use fast-forward even in Hardcore mode. Makes grinding levels in RPGs that much faster. It's mostly just savestates that get disabled. You can still make them, just not load them. but hey, you do you!

WanderingNepNep 23 May 2022 18:03

Oh, I didn't know that. My understanding was that Hardcore was 100% like playing it on official hardware, in which case, I'd probably just play it on my actual official hardware. lol (though I say this knowing there are others who do not own the original hardware or games, so don't worry about mentioning that ;) )

hope everyone likes ABAK and I's new badges here! the new revision added a ton and really made it feel like this set is complete now! great work!

DEATHDragon 31 May 2022 03:50

And... Remastered. Thanks for the additional challenges. Not as bad as the MM3 cheevos. Fuck Wily Machine 4 Damageless tho.

GrayCloudSpectator 3 Jul 2022 15:55

Finally I mastered a set for a Mega Man game :D (sure, the game is easier than the first three, but I'm still very happy about it). As usual I now appreciate the game and level design so much more after observing and studying the enemies' movement and attack patterns in my over two dozen hours of playtime.

zuschzero 3 Oct 2022 19:58

Just mastered. By far the best Mega Man on NES. Best arsenal, best level design, best line up of fortress bosses.

coveredingas 9 Oct 2022 06:13

Fun achievement set; challenging without going too hardcore - I have no idea why the people behind the other sets think it's a good idea to add a "don't take damage during the boss rush" achievement - sure, the bosses in these games are pretty predictable and are much easier with their weaknesses in hand (usually) but come on. You expect me to beat Quick Man and Air Man in one clean run without taking a hit? $%^# that. This was a lot more fun and reasonable, hence why I chose to do this set. Sharpened my skills a good bit, too - I'm gonna have a lot more fun on future replays. Well done to the developers.

KojiroS 30 Oct 2022 05:53

For some reason several cheevos I remember getting are back to being unobtained, huh...

Neat1Up 29 Dec 2022 21:15

Mastered! But this game was a nightmare to master, tho. OMG I HATE RING MAN'S STAGE BUSTER ONLY NO DAMAGE
