Your most prized achievement in gaming.

[Archangel768]

Beating the last boss in Final Fantasy 8.

But I picked it up a few months ago, beefed my team up a bit, and then beat her first time. Age and experience wins again?

lol, Same thing happened to me the other month. Played the game a couple of years back and only ever got to the 3rd form after so many tries. Played the game a couple of months ago and actually knowing how all the systems work and that I should have been drawing much more last time I just went around drawing a ton of good magic. Beat the final boss first go too. I was expecting a big challenge but it turned out fairly easy. Funny thing is, even with all the drawing, I finished the game 7 or so hours faster than the first time through.

True story Archangel! It was so much easier than I remembered, drawed a lot more magic, did everything properly now I knew how the system worked. I too shaved a considerable few hours off, I believe it was about 14 hours :L

 

[Dalek Caan]

Completing Halo, Gears of War, COD 4 and 6 and Mass Effect 1 and 2 on there hardest difficulties.

 

[EightGaugeHippo]

First episode of Doom 1 on Nightmare.

Completing MGS2 on Very Hard.

 

[Hippobatman]

C to Shining C in Super Street Fighter IV.

Rank all of the characters (35) up to C, which is at least 20 wins online. It took a good while. Win rate ranged from a mere 30,7% to a whopping 76%.

I was happy camper at the end of that one, and is still my pride and joy.

 

[Borntolose]

Getting 100% sync on all the Assassins Creed games

Do you mean you found all of the flags in the first game? From what I remember, there are about 300 of them and they don't give you anything if you find them.

OT: Platinum trophy in Demons' Souls, I suppose.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

All in TF2 --

[ScumbagEddie]

Going thru every mission in MechCommander 2 using a single tactic - using a Raven to lead the enemy into a wall of heavy and assault mechs. Never gets old.

 

[InfectedStar]

probably beating Gears of War 2 on insane (Co-Op with a friend because doing it on solo is impossible), beating Bioshock 1 on the hardest difficulty without reviving once (did it but didn't get that damn buggy achievement!), and beating CoD 4 & 6/MW2 on veteren and most of the Spec ops by myself

 

[BoredDragon]

It's actually my most hated but it's the one I worked hardest to get: the Zombie Genocider Master achievement in Deadrising 2 which is kill 72,000 zombies in one playthrough. I spent 10 hours doing monotonous zombie killing (as ironic as that may sound) in one sitting because I figured I would get the megaman suit and megabuster or something like it because it was hinted at the entire game and because that's what happened in it's predecessor. After wading through all this bullshit do you know what I got? One PART of a knight armor set that I would have to replay the fucking game to get the rest. No special weapon and no sense of accomplishment.

After 10 hours of monotonous bullshit Capcom has the balls to say that I didn't spend enough time playing this damn game to unlock the full reward. That sufficiently ruined a really good game for me and now I can't play it without thinking back on my stupid choice to go after that achievement that I barely had time to complete before the timer ran out. This my friends is why I believe I have the legal right to say:

"FUCK CAPCOM"

without any negative repercussions whatsoever.

Btw, before anyone asks "Why didn't you just look it up online first?" I actually did. Unfortunately, the game had just been released and no one yet knew what the reward was and fewer that thought the achievement was actually possible.

World of Warcraft: Well Read

<3

Oh come on, that one's easy. run round the world, look at books.

You probably meant

Higher Learning

which is the one with the rare spawn books in Dalaran. That took way too much camping...

 

[Sonder Saunters]

For me it was getting the Iron Bladder achievement in Rock Band 2. The achievement requires you to beat the Endless Setlist 2 in one sitting. You can't pause, you can't hit the guide/ps button, and its 84 songs, some of which are both extremely difficult and long. Not only did I get this achievement, but I did it on expert difficulty.

 

[sageoftruth]

Big Boss Emblem in MGS4

That's one to brag about. How did you do it? Any pointers?

 

[Leemaster777]

Lets's see...

It's either beating Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts, doing everything in Super Smash Bros Brawl (All trophies, all stickers, etc.), or catching all 151 pokemon in Pokemon Red.

 

[theevilgenius60]

For me it was beating Satan on Castlevania LoS. If you played that game on the right level, it was one hard bastard of a game.

 

[omega 616]

The Scottish Play achievement from tf2, where you need to perform a melee kill why stikcy-jumping.

I literally spent about 5 hours performing jumps off ramps, hours well spent in my opinion ^^

Well I'm screwed for that one, I can't sticky/rocket jump at all.

Then again there's loads I will be screwed on in that game. Mainly the spy ones, I can't use spy at all.

On topic. My platinum trophy on SC2, it is my first ever one. <3

 

[The_ModeRazor]

Well, some TF 2 achievements are downright insane. And I got a lot. Many of them of the crazy variety. And I'm not even good at the game. I just get lucky from time to time.

 

[commiedic]

I beat Myst. Suck it.

 

[Owlslayer]

Hm... I guess the L4D2 achievement that requires you to beat a campaign on realism expert. Tho to be honest, it isn't as difficult as it used to be, even tho i don't use a mic. So not that big of a deal anymore. But when i first read that achievement, i knew it might get nasty to get it.

 

[TheTim]

Getting Every golden Gun on COD4 the right way was one of them for me.

The other has to be obtaining every pokemon on Gold and maxing a few out.
