Ouch. I found this to be enjoyable as it was my first playthrough that I did it (I didn't know what a vita chamber was)dark_taint92 said:
Find the Radio guides is a nuisance especially when you miss ones you can't go back too...
Tomb Raider Underworld had an achievement that was to Dive from the 3 highest points in the game into water.
What made this one difficult was that there is nothing to indicate the highest points in the game without looking online, and usually a dive meant going back a great deal in the game...

The Little Rocket Man achievement from HL2:E2 was pretty ridiculous. I Still got it, but it was rather infuriating trying to keep the little bastard on your car during the driving segments.
The Mile High achievement in COD4 is also pretty insane. It only took me, oh, roughly two-hundred tries to actually get it.
Not all in one sitting, mind you.
That's crazy.
And then there are the acievements like the Gears of War Seriously achievement. Okay, have you actually played a ranked online match of Gears of War? That is a corner of gamer space I try to stay out of, since, from my experiences, that's where most of the screamy, angry, douchebag frat-boy kind of people like to play.

It's quite easy actually. Every boss is extremely easy in Naxxramas with the gear you get from Ulduar and Trial of the Grand Crusader. Only boss that might pose a problem is Thaddius(You really need to have perfect coordination to do that one).Proteus214 said:
that was the best one, just imagine killing hordes of zombies/antlions with an indestructable garden ornament via gravity gun, yes you can kill hunters with it as well, if only you could use it in HL2oppp7 said:
M.and i also second the 2.0 achievement in Gears of War 2, anyone that has that must play it non-stop.
Any time I've tried out the multiplayer in F.E.A.R. 2 it's put me into a game against just one other person. It's caused me to abandon it altogether as I hate cage matches.Kheapathic said:
Any "Complete X game on hard mode" trophies, particularly Prototype, Bioshock and Killzone 2. Wipeout HDs "earn all gold medals on hard" also counts for this one.
Warhawks "perfect deathmatch" and "perfect team deathmatch" wherin yu have to win said match WITHOUT dieing! I cannot stress how stupid this is without resorting to cheating with another player.
Wipeout HDs level 75 zone mode trophy is also insane. 75??!! I can barely get to level 30 on some tracks, and I'm already going 1000kph by that point. It gets exponentially faster after that too!
The worst online trophy I've seen though is in Killzone 2; "be in the top 1% of players for a week". This means being in the top 1% scorers by a sunday night, before the game resets for the next week. Basically you have to get around 6-7k points in a week. I simply do not have time to play a game for the 5+ hours a night needed to acheive this, meaning I will never get it.

Oh an achievement that I forgot which is a pain. Getting all learn able skills for Kaim in Lost Odyssey. There are alot from the support characters which require them to be at pretty high levels. Levels that are much higher than those required to complete the game.
If it's one I haven't gotten, then Neighborhood Watch achievement for Half Life 2-episode 2
If it's one I've already gotten, its Scorched Earth for CoD: WaW. Beat the level "Burn 'em Out" on veteran difficulty, just that level. It made me want to break my own face.

The tipple five star rating in Dawn of War 2 is stupidly hard to get until the defense missions. The complete a mission in under five minutes is almost impossible ever without some sequence breaking in the first mission. Lighting Assassin is almost impossible to do directly, because you basically need to kill the boss with one hit, and sometimes that isn't fast enough.
Tracking down every fucking skyrat in GTA4.
All Diamond Cases in Far Cry 2. (I was playing on the PC and just gave up). (All tape recorders was almost as bad).
Bioshock's never die, finish the game on hard. (Because even if you reload after you've died, the achievment is locked out.
Perfect Knight, I literally got the last of the Riddler's challenges, looked at the completion, realized I needed to ace EVERY challenge room and thought "fuck that."

Dead rising. Period. In the game I would probably stay I think it is staying alive for 7 in survival mode. Which effectively means you get to stay up for 12 hours playing the game running around finding food eating food hiding. And slowly nibbeling away at your supples until you need more again. I never did it. Maybe also the killing of the cities population in zombies. That took me quite a while and a large amount of time driving through the parking garage.
I'm going to say any of the completionist achievements in Mass Effect, including the Extreme Power Gamer. I loved Mass Effect, but on each and every playthough I quickly decided to skip most of the side quests that did not take place on the main planets and ultimately this is probably the best choice to make.
If one wants to get the various completionist achievements (Beat a majority of the game, beat a majority of the game with a particular character in your party) you are fored to endure visiting planet after planet to perform the same series of quests over and over. And while I could never say the Mako was anything but "difficult" to dive, it becomes aboslute infuriating when you're forced to embark on a journey across jagged mountain ranges and sheer cliff faces. Getting one set of completionist achievements was a feat of dogged determination and will - there was little joy to be found. Getting the extreme power gamer achievement however is something that just boggles my mind. After four full play throughs and more than 35 hours spent, I was still three levels shy and looking at the prospect of another full play though to reach the cap. In the end, I simply wasn't willing to undertake the journey yet again, at least not with the same character.
