HARDEST ACHIEVEMENT YOU EVER GOT.

[GOWONZU]

Dead Rising
Zombie Genocide achievement

 

[Ramare]

Mile High Club or Seriously 2.0, either or. Probably some other stupidly intense ones as well, but I forget.

EDIT: Actually, Finishing Mass Effect 2 on Insanity or Dead Space on the hardest difficulty possible, those two take priority. So... many... deaths....

If by Mile High Club, you mean the one in CoD4, on Veteran; I got that. First try, on accident. Beginners luck. And with the pistol they start you off with, no less. Yeah, that's my crowning achievement. There may be others, but I can't think of them. As far as real-life achievements, though...I saved a little girl from drowning in a pool. 'Sright. I saved a life. I know it seems a little lame, compared to doctors, since they save at least one life a day; but that's their job. This was just because I happened to be in the pool longer than anyone else, and I was young and just settling in to being as mature as I am to this day, too. Just think...if I wasn't in that pool, that little girl would have drowned to death, of all the horrible ways to die, in this fucked up planet...

Gears of war 1 General RAAM on insane. I swear he takes more ammo and grenades than you can carry at any point in the game. Also seriously 2.0 in Gears 2. 100000 kills counted across campaign and multiplayer. Im up to 5000 i think simply thanks to having played it so many times. Also Halo 3 solo on legendary is simply impossible. I've tried over a hundred times to do it but it is completely impossible when you get to the level cortana. You get swarmed by almost a billion flood that take down your sheild in one melee, half of which have powerful ranged weaponry anyway, and they blend into the goddamn scenery so well i usually get blind-sided by a seemingly invisible mega zombie. Halo reach legendary was easier than halo 3 by a long shot. In halo 3 on the first level you can get instakill sniped from a good 2 hundred meters away at every second checkpoint. In Reach theres no instakill snipers at all. Also cod 4 in general i found was peculiarly impossible while cod 6 was extremely easy in comparison.

Most irritating single achievement .I have is probably One With The Shadows in Alpha Protocol

Complete 3 missions without being detected or killing anyone (tranqs and unarmed stealth knockouts are allowed).

It wouldn't be so difficult if there were more then just a few missions in the entire game that you can actually get credit for them in (There are 5 total, and 2 of them are right at the beginning of the game before it's possible to get a ridiculously high stealth stat, and one of them has a "Boss Fight" encounter at the end that I'm SURE is only possible to complete and get credit for the achievement is you abuse some of the mechanics of the game (which I did, it still took me about 5 hours of trying to beat that last room without being detected - notably it involved pistol sniping a guy with a tranq dart in the head and then running away and letting the enemies reset.. they don't necessisarily reset to the same positions that they were in when they were all there, so you just snipe the closest one, run, come back, and hope there's a guy close to snipe. Not really cheating, but not really in the "spirit" of the achievement either)

And, occasionally an enemy will see you just before you knock him out, but he won't even show that he's been alerted. You'll think you did the mission perfectly, but you didn't, and you won't know until you complete the final mission that it's possible to complete it on and NOT get the achievement, and then have to load an earlier save. I had to start the game over several times because of that trying to get this achievement.

I did it though. Of course, there MIGHT be easier ways to do the mission, but it's still very tense and annoying, and the glitches littered throughout the game make it all the more difficult.

Shoot, is it really that hard? I just ended up getting it naturally while playing a Veteran stealth character. Thinking about it, I suppose there are more than a few missions where an encounter gets forced onto you.

I guess you don't need any advice since you already have the achievement, but I'll still say that you should play a Recruit once, then always play a Veteran afterwards. That way you can start the game with Awareness (Master), which is always nice.

Probably completing CoD4 on veteran. It actually took a lot of time and effort for me to complete unlike MW2 and Black Ops which basically play themselves.

The ending of One Shot, One Kill. Oh my god, that was hard. But it was so satisfying to run to the heli and nearly get killed with MacMillan on my back.

(Although I once took too long and the heli flew off, making me yell "FFUUUUUUU-" before restarting, AGAIN.)

I had trouble with that mission also. I had to play it twice: once on hardened then again on veteran. On hardened I have must have died around 25 times at the finale whereas when I did it on veteran I only died once.

 

[northeast rower]

The fucking eye-gouging-god-dammit achievement for killing two people with a Spartan Laser in Halo 3.

 

[Jabberwock xeno]

I know this will sound stupid, but Overkill for halo 3.

It took like 2 years for me to get.

Of course, it had to be during a lone wolves match, so when there's only 5 other people, and nobody on you team, it's rather rare to do.

 

[gjendemsjo]

Mass Effect 2 on insanity.

The first collector ship...

So
many
deaths...

 

[FinalHeart95]

Rockhound - inFamous
It wasn't really difficult, but I had to basically live off of a map online to find a 350 shards. It was a major pain in the ass.

There's also Annual from Halo 3.

Halo Reach Solo campaign on Legendary. Was satisfying to complete that one.

I spent 2 and a half hours on Nightfall on Legendary.
I salute you sir. And anyone else who has pulled this off.

 

[Demon_Cow]

Easily "Zombie Genocider" in the original Dead Rising. Not particularly hard, once you figure out how to farm the maintenance tunnels, but it still took me hours of non-stop killing.

Oh yes - I hated that on Hard and have never done past that level on anything above normal

Once you work out the best spots and some other tricks like how to shoot the guys dropping out of the helis, you can do it. I reckon the other side of the fence near the bumper cars is best. You get grenade spammed to hell in an effort to flush you out, but there's only one entrance.

It's still incredibly difficult, but doable.

 

[Digitman]

"Beat the rush" in L4D2

 

[ecoho]

Mass Effect 2 on insanity.

The first collector ship...

So
many
deaths...

same only i thought the tali recruitment mission was harder sooo many deaths

 

[CRAVE CASE 55]

Platinum for fallout 3/ new Vegas, just really, really long

Fallout 3 was easy besides the Steel Ingots from The Pitt which im proud to say i got without a guide

 

[CRAVE CASE 55]

I'd possibly have to say the "One in a Million" achievement from Battlefield Bad Company; I suppose it would have been easy to get on multiplayer if I had friends to be kind enough to hover the helicopter for me, but most of them did't have BFBC; I managed to get it through some freak chance on the last mission against the Legionnaire's KA-50 and to this day I still have no idea how I managed to time it so perfectly. For those of you who've never played BFBC, the achievement in question involves hitting a helicopter with a laser-guided bomb... Tried it for hours on the previous level with no joy.

On the subject of helicopters, I am currently trying to down the 2 Mi-8 Hips with on Valkyrie for the "Double Whammy" on CoD Black Ops - any suggestions on how to make it physically doable? I've tried for about 45 minutes and never come close because they keep being total jerks and flying away as soon as one gets hit.

I did this on the mission in the monestary on hard it was quite east actualy.

 

[Solo-Wing]

So far my hardest one was "The one free bullet" for Half Life 2 Episode 1

 

[rastlin1985]

Quite proud of my 100% achievements for dead space. I didn't find the hardest difficulty one that bad, it was the asteroid shooting game that was really tough!

 

[Ocoton]

I got laid. No, seriously, I don't pay any mind to achievements, so the only thing that comes to mind is solo legendary on reach.

 

[zarix2311]

Yes, it was easy. I said it took a really long time.

 

[Ashcrexl]

since i'm a huge pussy, the hardest trophy i've ever gotten is yatta! from sonic's ultimate gensis collection. and of course, the resulting platinum.
