I have 4 and haven’t even played it yet!

That’s actually true.. I had it for 360 and forgot about it so bought it again for ps3 and promptly forgot about it, then got a copy for ps4 from a friend.. Played a bit, but it’s not the same as playing on PC, which is how I played morrowind and oblivion so never got into it, then I bought the ps4 vr version because it seemed like it was the perfect type of game for VR, being first person and all… nope that was a mistake, the texture in vr version makes me seriously motion sick.. can’t get past the intro scene.

I’ll probably pirate a pc version at some point.. I’ve paid for it enough to not feel at all bad doing that (not that I would anyway). It’s just not great on console.

Kinda same. I do have it on switch and 360 but those are my pirated copies and you couldn't even apply the unofficial patch so I never ended up playing them much. I bought the pc version then was later gifted SE, and ended up starting this regretful and hellish dupe game achievement quest as a joke with the friends that got me the game since it turned out I had several duplicates. -17/10 Would not recommend.

When you say dupe game achievements, do you mean you had to get all the achievements on the same game multiple times? That sounds hellish, if so.. but I’m a bit curious..

I have bought a few duplicates over the years, but started using gameye to prevent duplicate purchases (I only do physical games, mostly used, so it helps a ton)

yeah the same game twice. generally a remaster or goty/special edition/etc.

It went something like: friend: hey grass I got you a game! me: oh cool thanks. *redeems game without thinking... me: wait I already have this friend: its the special edition. me: but I'll have to get the achievements a second time. friend: you won't do that, your only all achievement game is mw2.

then other friends got me more duplicates because they knew I would be an idiot and do it repeatedly to 'prove a point'. In the end a miserable time. The easiest were the souls games because once you learn the controls they are all the same, apart from the different enemy placements in ds2. hardest was probably between the older version of kingdom or old bioshock 2 due to buggy achievements and the ungodly amount of time doing the exact same thing until it worked

😂 that sounds horrible.

I’m not super into frustration, and it’s gotta be a good game for me to replay it.. I have -so many- options..

But that does sound like the sort of spiteful thing I’d do… like I can’t even tell you how many new kongregate accounts I made back in the day so I could play the same games over again and get all the achievements.. and if you can get them once it tends to be easier the second time..
