At first, I thought they were gonna be something special, and although I think that it's somewhat cool that they will be available for more games, I kind of miss that brief period of time when they were something special.

So many Medal games
Comments
To be honest, they kind of have no purpose unless the gamers get prizes for having so many medals. I hope they offer some type of reward or recognition to the person who has ALL the medals or at least most of them.
I'm sure in a sense they do but no more so than any other achievement system on Newgrounds. Plus some of the medals, at least in one game I am aware of are glitched and cannot be received, however, it's been about a month since I heard anything about that, so maybe, that particular game has been fixed, who knows?
lulz i gots moar den 1000
okay
Yeah I agree with you, the Medals were better when you can only get them on a handful number of games but now there are so many, what's the point?
Exactly, it just seems like it really doesn't matter anymore.
Hey is it just me, or does anybody else here think that movies having medals is a bad idea?
movies have medals too? yeah that is a bad idea.
Hi greatwh1teshark
You're not alone to think the medal games are bad. Please check my news. Feel free to answer. But some people enjoy medals.

Hey Robin, what's up, loking forward to you next movie
Gotta agree with you , I think the same way.
Now every single flash game is going to have medals , whats the point in that?
exactly
Hi El-Syd
Have you seen my last movie?
<a href="http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/494174">http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view /494174</a>
Sorry. No medals for this movie.
Robin Gravel
Just watched it. I can see your progress from one movie to the next. Looking forward to your future animations.
I mean: 'there is no medals in this movie.'
Where's the edit button in this site?
Yes, there should be an edit button, they changed the site in so many ways recently, they should have taken the time to add an edit button.
Hey man, be the first to leave a comment on my latest post.
im probably a few days too late for that, but I'll check it out.
How's that first cartoon of yours coming along?
Haven't done anything on it for a good while now, I feel like such a shitbag for being so lazy and not just finishing it, but I've been really busy lately with random bullshit. I should get back to work on it though.
same
hopefully one day, but who knows when.
Sorry, but I don't really agree with you. If there was only a few games with medals, what's that point? It would be the same thing as the achievements that you get in some games
well to each his own
I agree with you. Every new game lately has been all about what kind of achievements you can get. The medals really were a special thing. Now the achievements are so cheesy I almost feel dirty when I finish a game. And the medals for watching a movie? That goes a little far.
Don't get me wrong, I still play some flash games with medals, but I don't go out of my way to get every single medal. It takes away from the spirit of the game, by losing the fun factor and becoming a task.
Hope the first animation is coming along well. I'm looking forward to it. :)
haven't really been working on it , I should be but it's not gonna turn out how I want it, I think I might finish it to just kind of get it out of the way though.
And yeah that's just it, a game stops being quite as fun when you're playing it as a task rather than for the enjoyment of the game.
I think they're still very special.
well, in a way, but now there's so many of them and it's like if a game has medals, (or movies now too) it seems like those games automatically get higher ratings. Also, I feel some sort of compulsion to get all the medals I can, which is one of the reasons I kind of stopped spending so much time here on Newgrounds, it kind of took some of the magic out of it for me.
Well, I remember my first medal...I went totally crazy, but now there isn't much of this special feeling left :'(
Exactly, couldn't have said it better myself.
puppektion
Hey, they're interesting... well, some of them are.
Isn't that enough?

I'm not saying I don't like the games, in fact some of them are some of my favorites, I just mean when it was only Portal defenders, or even only a handful of games, it seemed more like something special than if say every game were to have them. The new medal system has been likened to X-Box's achievement system, which is cool in it's own right, but it was more interesting to me that only certain games would have medals as proof that a person has completed some really hard tasks in some really hard games. When the medals are applied to a large amount of games, the difficulty of receiving some of the harder medals loses some of it's significance.
