The Halo 3 kill 2 enemies with 1 sniper shot. I swear to god I've done it like 300 times and never got the achievement
Thats because its a laser not a sniper... Congrats on wasting your time though. :)

Thats what I meant. My bad.

BTW, does it count if you blow up a vehicle?

"nothing special" in left 4 dead is So difficult

how can you go an entire campaign without getting hurt by special infected?
(witches and tanks also count, so if they hit you, you won't get your achievement)

Most likely not because it has to be done in the Lone Wolves playlist, so there wouldn't be a vehicle with more than one person in it.

Most infuriating level recently, the level in Valkyria Chron. where you have to sneak through the woods while the mortars are coming down on you. You'd get right to the end and then start running on the spot right in the middle of the blast zone.

Trophies im stuck on lately, Impossible mode in Dead Space, and about 50% of the Disgaea 3 trophies. 130 hours and im nowhere near them.

I hate to see games full of multiplayer acheivements, something like Halo doesn't bother me so much because heaps of people play it. But a game that may or may not have a successful multiplayer? Seems like a lot to expect people to reach a 50 in Wolfensteins multiplayer just for an achievement.

I've only managed to 100% one game... Fallout 3.

Well, isn't that the point of achievements?

It's not really tough, but it's really annoying. The game: The World Ends with You. The time: Another Day. The place: New...Pork...CITY!!! Man, those Pig Noise things were annoying as...as...Castlevania's Medusa Heads. Especially the Pig that requires a specific pin to take it down. I have the pin, but even with a suped-up partner, he just will not go down.

I 'd have to say Creeping Death from GH Metallica.. who the hell is goin to be able to 99% the song, solo & all?!? *besides any of those gh veterans that is* my highest score so far has been 524,324.

Same thing with Now That's Impressive on GH 3.. 750,000??!?!?! the only song ya can get a score like that on is the majority of the DragonForce songs... once again... crazy hard for someone like me. The highest I ever got on a song is 531,640 on The Number of the Beast.

I play expert, i beat TTFAF and five-starred all on Metallica except War Ensemble and all on GH 3 except Raining Blood and of course TTFAF *obviously*.. I play alot of Guitar Hero and Rock Band so there's my opinion.

The TF2 achievement "Got a Light?" in which you have to ignite a spy while he's doing his cigarette taunt.
This means you have to come across a pretentious enemy spy stupid enough to be taunting in plain view, and since the cigarette taunt isn't even tied to a weapon (This is the disguise kit taunt) it means the spy in question will essentially be out in the open, without a weapon equipped, and performing an action that renders him immobile and unable to fight back for several seconds. Not to mention you'd have to be impossibly lucky to actually run into the guy during his three seconds of taunting.
It's an achievement that relies entirely on the complete boneheaded incompetence of another player, as well as insanely lucky timing. Yeah, sure, it's funny I suppose, but it's a horribly designed achievement.

Any trophy that involves collecting stuff I.e 20 bobbleheads (fallout 3) or landmarks forget how many (prototype.)

Also I'm to sure if this involves the question or not but downloadable trophies think about it you,ve just completed a game got most of the trophies or finshed them complety and then bang at least 15 more pop up. leaving you with a very incomplete feeling.

I got the Mile High achievement after about an hour, it was tough but Safehouse on Veteran took me longer.

Most difficult achievement for me is the Marathon achievement in Trials HD. I think it may actually be impossible!

Marathon 40
The player has completed the Ultimate Endurance tournament without any faults.

This, even worse when they make up 50% of the total achievements, stop forcing me to be social!

My token response to these threads:
World of Warcraft
The Immortal

Seriously, I dare you to find 25 perfect players to do 15 bosses in a row without dying.
