Great gaming accomplishments

[nemesis01]

For myself, I have only really had 2 that I consider noteworthy. The first came on the original Tomb Raider on the PS1, I managed to complete the whole game in 1 run through without saving once. Was not really intending to, but got to about level 11 not even thinking about it and finished the rest off no problem.

The second was on Final Fantasy VIII, also on PS1. I know a lot of people did this, but I was not that great at the FF games, my accomplishment on FFVIII was managing to beat Omega Weapon, took about 6 attempts as I had to find a good strategy. I remember I got a nice little message about being the greatest fighter in the world or something when I had done it, made me feel well chuffed.

[Revolver-Ocelot]

Talking about FF I remember beating Ruby and Emerald weapons in FFVII for the first and a bucket load of trys was a absolute nightmare.

Trying to beat Resident Evil 2 in under three hours without saving and getting instantly killed by Burkin and having to start again luckily I did it on my second try.

Completing Ikaruga in the Gamecube without cheating, just finishing it I class as a accomplishment because it's possible it's the hardest game I've ever played and 2D shooters are hard by nature.

Something else I just remember unlocking the cheats in Goldeneye 007 (the infinite health and infinite ammo) doing the facility in something 1 minute 40 seconds and the archive in about 2 minutes or something 'tarded like that. I got so annoyed with the facility I gave myself a nosebleed (lol, how sad)

Finishing Shenmue - really long game - but very worth while.
I suppose finishing Shenmue 2 when I get round to it will be amazing as well.

[Loop]

Err... I can only think of the masses of hours I've put into Disgaea and the various Pokémon games; actual achievements are a bit thin on the ground.

[Sapphireruby]

I have completed in full every game that I have played. I am fairly proud of that accomplishment.

[Nitrous]

Hmm, completing Gran Turismo 3 with a 100% race winning record, thats about it really.

[Loop]

I have completed in full every game that I have played. I am fairly proud of that accomplishment.

Proof. Proof! The hounds bay not for blood, but for proof!

[Scarface]

I have completed in full every game that I have played. I am fairly proud of that accomplishment.

*cough* bull**** *cough*

Lets see, I finished San Andreas, although not 100% complete.

Destroying every other civilisation and owning the entire world in Civilisation games.

Getting KotRT summon in FF7.

Finishing every FF game i've played (although again not 100% completed)

[Loop]

Lets see, I finished San Andreas, although not 100% complete.


Well if that counts, I've done it. Also GTA3 and Vice City.

[Scarface]

Who said it did or didn't count for anything?

The thread question is subjective, it's asking for what you consider an achievement, it is not bound by any "achievement rules" now is it.

BTW you do understand the difference between finishing a game and completing a game?

[Loop]

BTW you do understand the difference between finishing a game and completing a game?

Me? Of course I do.
And thus I call for someone to draw up some concrete rules on what is or isn't an achievement. Much like the 360 system, but retro.

[Scarface]

There should probably be levels of achievement, starting with; made it to the first save point and ending with 100% complete.

Personally i'm not a 100% complete sort if guy, I just like to Finish games in the shortest time possible,

[Loop]

If it's hard to get to 100%, odds are I won't be arsed to do it, especially if it's a game like GTA. I'll get bored, jack a car and fling it about a bit.

[Scarface]

Same ....

[Loop]

I think I may have gotten 100% on the original SNES version of Super Mario World.
I'm almost certain of it, providing those secret-forest-level rumours don't turn out to be true.

[Loop]

Not only has she completed them, she completed them in full!

[Scarface]

I got 100% in one of the GT games, not sure which.

But that's hardly an achievement, it's rather easy.

[Talmon]

All my real accomplishements are in first person shooters online.

Rampages so exhilerating they cannot be summed up in words in a manner effective enough to hold an audiences attention.
I need some kind of video recording setup to do it any justice.

Suffice it to say I stalk people with mele weapons in shooting games.

[Sapphireruby]

*cough* bull**** *cough*

:sarcastic
Bite me. I only play on PS1 and PS2. I will play a game until it is finished/caput/completed/done and 100%. I will admit that I have played far less than many here, but if I start one, I finish it.

Your accomplishments are impressive Scar. If I did not work, go to school on a regular basis, run a household and maintain a healthy relationship with a significant other, I might be able to complete more as well.
(I do concede that I am not raising a cute little girl in the interim....) I will never take that oblligation away from you as it results to your achievements.

Does Isis game?

[Scarface]

Jesus, you talk some ****!


Remember this?
I am playing GTA Vice City without the Shark..I suck at it....I sold my Shark on E-Bay..I WANT IT BACK!

You realise that if you have to cheat to complete a game, you can not claim to have completed said game.

Anyone can complete any game if they use cheats, it's not really an achievement now is it?

[Sapphireruby]

^I used the cheat for ONE game and I am now playing said game again sans any cheats. I am finally moving along nicely.

[Loop]

Seriously though...

... you can get a certified degree to prove you can learn stuff? I assume this is a rare skill in America, one worthy of official documentation?

[MHG]

My greatest gaming achievement is saving the money for a N64 and Mario 64. I remember seeing Mario 64 in E3 A-G-E-S ago and my jaw hit the floor. I'd never seen anything like that before. And when I got it, unwrapped it and saw Peach's profile fade into the screen with a letter (which she READ OUT LOUD!) I was very, very excited.

And that was just yesterday (Boo-boom-ching!)

As for Sapphire, you're taking this way too seriously. Which is making this a very, very funny thread.

[Loop]

whenever I wanted a new console had to sell the old one. I went through three MegaDrives and three SNES's like that.

[Talmon]

Normal people bought the Nintendo and made friends who had the Genisis.

How long have you been a pariah?

[Loop]

I think by now we've established I'm not normal.
Besides which, of my gaming friends, one had fewer games than I did, and the other kept his Master System.

Worthless.

[Alexandros]

I've started games I couldn't stand playing for one reason or another and had to stop playing them so they're on my shelf collecting dust.

About the only thing I can claim is that I've completed some games without ever having to look at a walkthrough. :)

[Scarface]

I live for walkthroughs.

I completed the flying missions in GTA:SA

They are hard ok.

[Loop]

Yep, worst part of the game.

[Scarface]

I reckon the Zero missions are the worst, I never could manage to shoot down those stupid little toy planes!

[Revolver-Ocelot]

It was worse when you had to controls one of those stupid planes and blow up the two bikes and a van within' the time limit.

[Nitrous]

I reckon the Zero missions are the worst, I never could manage to shoot down those stupid little toy planes!

Yea I remember that one, got past that part after the 1465 attempt at it:wtf: and then I hit the same mission as Rev and decided that enough was enough and quit not long after. still finished the main game tho so not all bad I guess.

[Loop]

I reckon the Zero missions are the worst, I never could manage to shoot down those stupid little toy planes!

Alright then; the flying ones are the worst ones of the ones I did, because I just gave up on those Zero missions.

If it's not obvious, I really don't remember much about the game.

[Scarface]

Never got that far :(

[Loop]

I believe that's the one I gave up on.

[Night_Cralwer]

umm a few for me would be
Resident Evil on ps1
Metal_Marines on the SNES http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_Marines
Maniac Mansion of c64 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maniac_Mansion

These are on my list as they where the first games i played of that type.

[Alexandros]

You sure you're not posting in the wrong thread....

[MentallyUnstable]

Finishing Silent Hill 2 using NO cheats.
Getting all three dogs in Pokemon Silver in one night, under one hour, using no cheats--then my brother got pi$$ed at me and deleted my savefile.

[Scarface]

Getting a score of over 10 000 on Civi 4

It's over 9000!

[Scott]

Was ranked in the top 30 in the world on Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, not bad considering there's over 115,000 active players.

Me & my team won the BlackNova WorldCup. :D Hardly an achievement though. :D

Oh aye, I'll also be the best team in my country on Hattrick one day. Keep the dream alive!

[Loop]

Well, I just had the highest K/D ratio in a string of Team Slayer games in Halo 3, then lost spectacularly in a game of 3v3 Team Sniper, where 2 of the opposing team quit early.

Go you, i bet kids say to their parents mommy daddy i want to be like Command3r Keen when i grow up.

[Command3r Keen]

they literally do

[Eldandoerino]

I should point out this thread is everything i hate about gaming.

[Loop]

What, people being better than you?

[Eldandoerino]

Of course.

[Scarface]

awww, that's not nice. I'm sure phillip is good at lots of games.

[MadFog]

I was in one of the top 10 guilds in the world to clear naxxramas, first player in Europe to get a barb of the sand reaver, and top 10 guilds to clear AQ40. In WoW.

I also competed in WCGUK for warcraft III

[Command3r Keen]

i have another one to add to my list:

I just went 48 and 10 in COD4 :D

[Alexandros]

I won 4 out of 300 attempts at Spider Solitaire. Hard mode.

Worship me!!!!

[frankenstein]

I... finished prince of Persia (the original one) within 17 mins...!!! (16mins and 59 secs to be exact) :) This way I am in the top 50 of the players who've finished the game quickly...

http://www.tammo80.nl/prince/ (look for Fankenstein - #37 yippie! :D )

Also i've finished GTA:VC 100% on PC (without cheats - although i reckon PC gamers have an added advantage of the mouse when playing FPSs or 3rd person games...)

Also, I've achieved Gold in all Licenses in GT4... (I just started to gloat... nevermind, wish i would have done it, at least got to the point where I have all B-license golds, yup)

ALSO, I have finished GTA SA 100%... now that should count for something... (I don't know how can one show others on net their ps2-saved games - show me)

Also, I tend to own PS-2 games that are really unpopular... like RPM-Tuning and the likes :D don't think that counts as an achievement though :wtf:

I'm in the red.

[frankenstein]

yup, you ARE in the red... seems like you r losing...

[Loop]

I do that a lot, but I look good doing it, no denying that.

[edit] hm, can't hotlink.

[frankenstein]

try winning for a change... by the way, I once killed 19 people on melee while playing halo online on my friend's XB... its fun... AND addictive


[edit] wats the achievement unlocked thingy??? :head:

[nemesis01]

Not been playing games much recently, but in the last month I did manage to beat mission 34 on GT4 mission hall which is stupidly difficult, quite proud of that. I also recorded a time of 5:05 on the nurburgring in a Toyota Minolta.

Hey nem, where you been?

5.05 on the minolta? you using the guard rails??? :lol: my time on the ring is around 5.17 or something, not below that.

[nemesis01]

Nope, even though there is really only 1 place on the ring to wall ride (the carousel) I did not use it, nor did I cut any corners. I don't believe it is possible to go much faster, I really did fly round the course with no mistakes. I certainly don't think I can go faster anyway.

I have also now got all golds on the licence tests which kinda pissed my brother off, he did it himself ages ago and has been holding it over me since, even better was that it took him 3 days to do the last test on the S licence (nurburgring) and I did it first time while he was watching.

:D :D

[frankenstein]

gosh nem, that really is a good one, the gold on all licenses... that's one of the things i try to do whenever i dust off my GT4 copy after every long time, finished it 84.3% till now, but this one thing... especially that laguna saca always gets me with the viper, since GT3 :happysad:

To be fair, for the first 2 licence's I took the easy way out and used the guide line, apart from the full races you have to do, the rest of them you have to rely on the ghost replay to show you where to improve. It is also possible to wall ride on a lot of the tests to get gold aslong as you don't smack them at 100MPH and have to start it again.

:thumb:

[frankenstein]

advice taken... :)

Will try next time i play GT. BTW, i don't know if its counts as an accomplishment but I've maxed out the power of each and every single car of my 341 cars collection in my GT4 garage... (installing all power related upgrades to each car, except those that can't be driven in races like the NIKE 2022 and the others) I just change their settings before the race if I want to drive them in their factory settings :)

[Catbert]

Unlocked every flecking car on F-Zero GX a couple of years ago.

I know it's not that great but I was feeling insignificant.

[frankenstein]

oooooo, i remember, I finished that Gods by Bitmap Brothers, so old school... and I did it two times in a row without dying more than two times...!!!! Those who've played it know how that sounds :) this was sooooooooo long ago.

For me that would take too much £££, I only buy a car when I have to, and I install minimum upgrades that enable me to win the race and get as many aspec points as possible.

It also makes many of the cars much slower. The Skyline can be given well over 1,000HP but it can't handle that much power so you spend most of the time oversteering off and then throwing rubber at the four winds whilst you wheel spin all that power in to smoke.

[Scarface]

Completed FF7.

And I mean completed

Gold chocobos, knights of the round, killing all the weapons, all that jazz.

It seemed important at the time ok.

[QuizMaster]

High five! Come on, you've earned it.

[Scarface]

It was like 10 years ago ....

[jayMPH]

Unlock all the characters, special characters, and hidden maps in Super Smash Brothers Melee (GC).

[QuizMaster]

At first I was going to say that that really isn't something to say after the previous one, but....

Special characters?

[jayMPH]

Special characters?

What i meant was the hidden characters.. haha!! sorry for the wrong usage of words.. ^_^

[QuizMaster]

Oh, okay, it's just that you said it twice. Got me confused and stuff.

[Scarface]

Lets just call them special hidden characters .... ok?
