Your favourite "Achievement Unlocked"

Burning Eclipse

So, almost two years of 360 gaming and mine came last night.

Achievement Unlocked - Kick the Bucket


I finally beat Jordan on Expert. I've got some nice 360 achievements, but at the moment this is by best accomplishment in gaming! Sad perhaps, but if you like Guitar Hero you'll respect my crazyness... And inspiration for a thread about your favourite achievment(s)??!

Another Bioshock spoiler -



Offed Andrew Ryan without actually hitting any buttons, it was both grizzly and an anti-climax at the same time.

Nice! i tried it once on expert and ended up crying in the bath trying to scrub away the horrendous failure on my part.

Probably beating COD2 on veteran difficulty. Very satisfying, probably because you get 60 gamerscore for each mission . But some of the latter levels are crazy. I don't know how my controller survived.

I really loved that game. Hopefully COD4's single player will be as good, especially after the mess Treyarch made of COD3.

I was doing it on veteran as well but i came a cropper on that annoying bloody sniper part on the tower what-not, it was ridiculously hard! so i quit, never to return.

Go back and finish the fight! Seriously, i'm with the other poster on this one, my fave achievement was completing COD2 on Vet.

I had a horrible time on that sniper bi. I beat it by never firing more then two shots before reloading. Made the reloads quicker if i remember rightly so it was easier to clear the nests out before you got swamped.

Good thread OP. hard to pick mine as ive less than 800 points. However i do enjoy hitting achievements in Rainbow 6 Vegas as i like the game alot.

"Tournament Qualifier" Achievement in PGR3 tbh, was hard to get into the top64 in the tournaments.

Mr Moon

If i'd gotten the elite achievement in R6V that would be top of my list, but I didn't get it (yet)

Other than that, getting the last achievement i needed in PES6!

kensutz

COD2 veteran was one that took me a long time to crack. Got it after taking a long break from the game.

Holy Sh*t...

Enormous respect for that man. Hard isn't the word... Nigh on impossible is more like it. Kudos!!! (yes, deliberate word choice)

I like where this thread is going.

Kensutz, you must have thousands of achievements, this COD2 veteran must be the business!

A-Trak

Zombie Genocider from dead rising was my favourite so far


"Ha - take that 53,594 shuffling undead" I thought, and then cried at the 3 hours of my life wasted I will never get back.

Well worth it then!

COD2 Veteran was a great gaming experience. Was hooked on that game. My first COD and I played it on Veteran the first time I played it til the end. The best achievements are usually the ones that take a long time to get but require skill. Not just crap achievements like 10,000 kills in multiplayer (FFS GOW) or play online for XX hours (Far Cry, Table Tennis)

koneko

Zombie Genocider (and a few other annoying DR ones), COD2 veteran, GOW on Insane on my own.
Might go for the Dead Rising 5 and 7 day survivor ones some day

Zombie genocider for me too
Another of my most proud ones is 100 kills in ranked games with the chainsaw in GOW.Basically because ranked GOW games were the most agonizingly irritating games i ever had to play, all full of squeaky voiced teens going OM FRACKIN GAWD YOU FRACKIN CHAINSAWR NOOOOOOB!'.
After i got my 100 kills i vowed never to play ranked gow again

tman

Prolly the "numero uno" one from PGR4, I spent fecking hours trying to get that one!:p
If anyone wants the giant killer achievement just drop me a pm...

/edit
The 200.06% exploration one in SotN was pretty damn satisfying, I had to take a photo of the normal and reverse map and compare them on my pc before I could figure out the last room I was missing:p

Friend of mine got that one too, first person in Ireland to get the 200 points out of the game.

A few people mentioned Zombie Genocider... I didn't get that one sadly, but the achievement that pushed me to 10k gamerscore was kill 10k zombies.

I have to say I really love achievements, not gamerscore per se, but just the way achievements can push you to play games in different ways... Like, not firing for 60 seconds in Geometry Wars, or having Frank simultaneously escort 8 female survivors. Things you wouldn't normally strive to do. There are the crap ones too, any of EA's launch titles come to mind, but some developers show what a great concept it is!! Keep em comin, this is fun!:)

another guitar hero one: guitarmageddon - complete all songs with 5 stars on hard. took me f'n ages

Jack Sheehan

I havent got it but i heard of a great achievement on the orange box: Just One Bullet: complete ep 1 firing exactly one bullet.

garrfunkel

Getting the 1000 note streak on GH2. Took me bloody ages but I got it eventually.

Another is "Marble-fu Transcendent" for Marble Blast Ultra, finish all the advanced levels under the par time, few of them were difficult tbh.

Mine has to be Champion of Cyrodil in oblivion not that hard to get just realisied what how much time was spent on that game Zombie genocider is a close secondTook ages to get on dead rising:D

Got that on Monkey Wrench on Hard, 1037 notes in the song or something, 100% in it!!:D

cedomination

I don't have many achivements but id say "zombie chopper" from halflife 2 is my best so far,I had to play through all of ravenholm with just the gravity gun.

My favourite achievment so far is "suicide king" in FEAR,its worth 0 points:D

Tank Top Fever!

hmmm

loads to bloody choose from!

All elites in Burnout, pacifist in Geometry Wars, 100 wins online in Pro Evo was an obsession for a while

Gave up on Veteran in COD2, pain in the arse

Josey Wales

I don't have that many Achievements to choose from so I would have to go for the final Achievement I needed to get the full 1000 points from PES 6.

Barring that, I was happy to get the 100 headshots in GOW online.

Nice one, I'm still trying to get that on GH2. I once bailed out on 982 arrrggghhhhghh!

Alkers

Had to dig this up!
Just got the "Ultimate Tanker" achievement in the Arcade game "Heavy Weapon". Damn near impossible and all for a measly 25points!
For those that don't know it I'd recommend downloading the demo, it's a great fun little game.
I only ever bought it as I damaged my fingers a while back and this was the only game I could play because of the control layout!
Well worth it!

Timmy

Completing 100% of Lego Star Wars 2 for me....freakin awesome and completely addictive. I even admit to being one of the first to buy the latest "complete saga" and I wont let me kids play it cos' I want to do it on my own again.

What have I become?!?!?

A hero among men!!! That's what! 100% in Star Wars is quite the achievement!

Yea I got that ill only be happy once I get the last 4 achievements for the orange box(7 friends one im not including) just the bronze silver and gold medals in portal its too hard with a fecking controller serioulsy!

Smellyirishman

I would say Zombie Genocider was more relief than anything, especially as I had to do it twice since I died on my way back to a save point and hadn't saved or something stupid like that >.<. Saint was a better one to get but it was annoying at times too.

Quite happy with getting all of the main achivements in Gow. (Didn't get the hosting one, or the 10k kills and none of the new ones)

Some of the geometry wars one were good to get too.

A quick look through my list reveals nothing that really stands out.

Alkers

I can't stand the ones like getting all the skulls or all the terminals in Halo 3, all the COG tags in GOW, defeats the purpose to me, people trapsing around the game just to get a few gamer points, how is it fun at all?
