Personal Video Game Achievement Brags

[Johnny Novgorod]

- Beating Spec Ops: The Line on FUBAR difficulty. Toughest "hard" setting I can think of.

I could never make it passed the museum part where there was a helicopter shooting through the window and you have to run past it without cover.

That part is definitely Top 5 pure ass.
The absolute worst is defending Adams by the downed chopper, near the end of the game. Game throws one giant fuck you after another. The final few chapters of the game are pure outrage. I was never this distressed by a game. By the time I finished it I swore I'd never play FUBAR difficulty again in my life.

 

[TopazFusion]

I own every Overwatch in-game cosmetic item (excluding Overwatch League stuff) without paying Blizzard a dime aside from my initial purchase of the game.

Does that count?

 

[BrawlMan]

I beat God Hand. Only on Normal, but I still think that's an achievement.

It counts. And hard mode is just literally normal mode, except the dynamic difficulty won't drop. I refuse to touch that mode.

1CC Final Fight on hardest difficulty

1CC Battle Circuit (including the secret boss!)

No Damage Run of all V's missions in DMC5.

No Continue Run for Streets of Rage 1-3 on Hardest Difficulty. This is a nightmare on Mania and the US version of 3.

Bayonetta 2 - Cleared all Witch Trials.

The Bouncer - 1 Bouncer Only Run. Basically, the character I chose; I stuck with until the end of the game. It's get better when your bouncer is fully upgraded.

No More Heroes 1 & 2 - Beat all boss battles without Dark Stepping.

 

[Elvis Starburst]

I beat the first boss in Bloodborne on my first try, first boot up of the game ever, no weapon/armor upgrades, at lvl 1. Was pants shittingly terrifying, but I did it! I'm sure I have more, but it's late. Will edit with more if I feel like it

A self imposed challenge, my friends and I had the GTA: San Andreas 4 city wanted level challenge. You start in Los Santos, the finish line is getting back to the Grove Street cul-de-sac. But before you finish you have to enter Angel Pines, San Fierro, and Las Venturas. You get a wanted level and the challenge begins. So usually whomever goes first starts with a 1 star level. You have to maintain that wanted level throughout the challenge. You lose the challenge if you are wasted, busted, or your star level drops below the level you start (leave Las Santos) with. Easy enough at one, much harder to do at higher levels. It becomes really difficult to do the challenge at 3 star level. My brag, I'm the only one of us to complete it at 4-star.

You go to BlizzCon every year? And you've also achieved stuff like Floor is Lava and Rapid Discord? Golden guns are debatable, I guess.

I don't have anything cool. I usually get frustrated at some point and quit anything too hard. My PBs on this type of dartboard are decent though: 45 with five darts and a miraculous 38 with four.

 

[Catfood220]

Beating Terminator Salvation on hard mode. My God, that games was fucking terrible. I did it for the plat. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

Some of these aren't that special but damn it, I did it!

Sekiro...reminds me of the first time I beat Madam Butterfly [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VhmUgGm-_co] taking one hit of damage. Was pretty stoked as it took a while getting good enough to beat her at all, and I rather surprised myself at how well it went. Such a rush playing that game.

A rush is a great way to describe it. There are times where you get into this sweet spot and everything is just pure action/reaction. The sword clashing starts to feel more like a rhythm game than anything else.

Nice video by the way. Madam Butterfly gave me no end of grief on my first playthrough. I was shocked to blow past her on my first try on a second run through. It was one of those moments where it was so clearly highlighted just how much I had learned the game.

 

[Grouchy Imp_v1legacy]

Anyone remember the Dodo from GTA 3? That piece of crap plane with literally no wings? My 'longest flight time' stat once stood at 320 seconds, which included an actual landing that Claude walked away from. My friends and I had a ton of 'DIY' challenges in that game, including 'who can take out X with Y?'. I got challenged to take out two FBI cruisers (8 agents with AKs) with a baseball bat. Did that, too. I plugged wwwaaayyy too much time into that game when it came out.

 

[Chimpzy_v1legacy]

Mass Effect 3 - the multiplayer horde mode is meant for a team of 4, but I got gud. Enough that I solo'd it on gold difficulty. Managed solo'ing platinum diffulty a few times too, but only certain maps.

Team Fortress 2 - aside from TFC, the only pvp mp game I got good enough at to play competitively. Highest I got was maining Scout for a now defunct division 3 team in the ETF2L league, which is about mid-tier in terms of level.

Speaking of TF2 and horde mordes, I played quite a bit of Mann v Machine with a bunch of good chaps. After a while doing the same maps gets old and even expert difficulty becomes boring. The solution was new self-imposed stupidity challenges and we got "creative". Winning with nothing but Pyro airblast on maps that have pits. Winning with Demoknights using only the Ullapool Caber. Winning with only Spies with the additional handicap of not being allowed to cloak or disguise. Sadly, winning with Scouts using only Sandman balls was a little too stupid.

I never killed any prostitutes in any GTA game after they healed me up with their magical vaginas.

I won a match in Overwatch capture the flag, as Reinhardt. The rest of the team had died in somebody's ultimate attack, and it was just me. We had control of the point, and we were just waiting the few seconds until we won, but had to keep the point uncontested to do so. The enemy was coming at me, and it was literally count down of "5, 4, 3....HAMMER DOWN!!!" I use my ult to send all of them to the ground, stunned and prone for the last few seconds, clinching the win.

The people I was playing with in voice chat lost their minds as they watched it in spectator mode. xD One of my shinier moments in that game.

I beat Myst, Riven and Myst Exile

Okay fine. What I meant was I've exhausted all the loot tables; not just the base game loot, but also every event as well. There's literally nothing left that the game can give me in a lootbox.

Outside of a few gaming 'whales' there's probably not many players who've done that. Only guessing though.

I did Spec OPs on FUBAR. Cant remember the museum at all. The two parts I found difficult was the turret section where you are defending the boys who are running up a series of stairs across buildings. And the final push where they have rocket launchers and snipers and then Adams comes out in full on body armour and you don't have much cover.

I have not played the game again

I thought you meant you had a completely unlocked Hero Gallery. Nevertheless, that's a lot of hours clocked in. Even pros don't usually have everything unlocked, because they A) have multiple smurf accounts and B) scrims don't give experience points.

- 100%-ing the original Kingdom Hearts while also writing a walkthrough for it.
- Beating Spec Ops: The Line on FUBAR difficulty. Toughest "hard" setting I can think of.

I loved that game; so much so, I tried to 100% it? the FUBAR achievement is the only one I didn?t do so. I wanted to try, but recalling a couple of the white-knuckle rage-inducing pinch points during my time in the Suicide Mission difficulty, I couldn?t bring myself to even try.

It is absolutely infuariating, especially towards the end, where the game essentially becomes a cover-based shooter without cover, and borderline hitscan enemy fire. It all boils down to luck and interdimensional prescience.

So it's ll just luck in that part? All it takes is just 2 shots from the helicopter to die, and you have to keep running for 15 seconds. I actually like the rough controls, cuz too many shooting games are way too automatic with covering.

I don't mind the controls at all, it's just that you're practically up against impossible odds: either you're shoehorned into these hold-the-fort scenarios where enemies are constantly surrounding you or have to brave long stretches of map without cover while getting gunned. Also you might as well start the game all over again if it autosaved with a weapon that's completely useless for the situation. You kinda have to know what you're gonna need a few fights ahead of you every time.

 

[wings012]

Halo Reach on Legendary with all the skulls on. Not that I wanted to do that but my coop friend insisted.

That was such an absolute drag.
