A question not about games. My global score, of all the games I have mastered, has been reduced by half, has that happened to you more?
WanderingHeiho 21 Aug 2022 14:23
That's happened to everyone, read here for more information. https://retroachievements.org/viewtopic.php?t=13893

Mastered (#65). Nice and simple set, some interesting challenges. Managed to 100% in just around 5 hours.

Mastered! Sonic 3! What a classic!

Pretty great set with some good challenges too.

Mastered! Here)

Mastered! One of my favorite official Sonic games. I like it a good deal better than S&K (though that one isn’t necessarily bad, just needlessly frustrating at times.)

This set was a great challenge without being excessively difficult (for the most part, at least; I had to follow Markus’ livestream to beat ‘Water Is Not A Problem’. That achievement was definitely the hardest on the set, and was close to excessive in difficulty, but still somewhat do-able.)

Really well-done set for a great game.

Mastered! Only S&K left and then I'm gonna try to master S3&K.

Quite nice to finally master it, although the Competition cheevos were a bit of a pain.
