Proudest Video Game Achievement
 

I stuck with Mass Effect long enough to beat it...but I stuck with Brutal Legend and beat that even though the game wasn't very fun.

Probably 100% completion in RDR. Not that great of an accomplishment, but it was the first game I ever 100 percented.

I'm so old school my greatest game achievement was on this.Had it to over 20 free games one night and was the #1 overall scorer. :)

Mile High Club achievement on COD:MW

you know the turtle glitch in super mario bros.?

that was me.

heh, the one in SMB 1 for infinite lives?

that one was ****ing hard.

Beat Andre and DiBiase in WWF Superstars at the arcade.

Getting banned from CS 1.6 servers because people thought I was hacking when I wasn't. I was just that good for a while.

Beating rygar. Man, that took forever, iirc.

I love getting accused of hacking.

None for me, but my brother in law is #5 on Twin Galaxies for the Popeye arcade game.

Beating Contra on 3 lives...no Konami code...

When I killscreen Donkey Kong, that'll easily top any of my achievements.

The guild Blood of the Spider on The Rathe server was the first guild system-wide to kill Ventani (the fourth warder) on July 28, 2001, and therefore wake the sleeper. The event caused a stir on the server when Kerafyrm went into multiple zones, including Skyshrine, killing everyone and everything in his path.

This was huge news in the MMORPG world back then.

The first time I went 25-0 on FFA in COD4 was pretty cool too.

I beat this kid that I didn't like in school at Mortal Kombat at the arcade.

yeah because you just kept doing the cheese combo of throwing ice, uppercutting, then power sliding

Thought I was hot shit beating Ninja Gaiden on NES.

2 and both in MMO's Taking out the Avatar of War. The ammount of DPS he put out back then was insane. Once Defensive stance wore off, hope to hell the next warrior had enough aggro. haha

killing Emporer Ssraeshza. The sheer ammount of work for the key and the bottleneck to even get him being in a PST guild lol.

i didnt start til like 2 months after Velious came out. I had no idea the game even existed til 2 friend of mine disappeared for like a year, when i seen them again, they were like we been playing this computer game everquest then it was over for me.

For as nerdy as I am -- I can't even think of one.


Dammit.

1) Beat Mike Tyson

2) Scored 105 pts with 5 minute quarters against All-Madden on Madden 2001 (my Rams vs. computers Steelers). I was ****ing good at that game. I'm decent at the PS3 versions, but I could pick up the sticks on those early 2000 PS2 versions after having not played in years and immediately take to destroying the world.

3) Beat Mario 2. All other Mario's are clown shoes compared to Mario 2.

4) Unlocked every circuit, won every race and owned every car available in Gran Tourismo 3. I could do the Seattle circuit with my eyes closed.

I can't say that I'm proud of anything I've done in a video game, despite the massive amount of hours of my life I've dedicated to them.

Played Joust on one quarter for well over an hour. Have only ever lost one game of the original Tecmo Bowl, lifetime.

Well, I got up to like 900/1.3 million rank in the first Gears of War: Execution. The shotgun on that game was the most unstoppable force in any shooter, ever. That's all I got.

Went undefeated on Tecmo Super Bowl without using an offensive play. Punted/kicked a FG immediately after getting the ball from the CPU. Played the shit out of that game back in the day.

#1. Beating instances as a 40 man group in Classic WoW took the cake. Beating Onyxia, MC, BWL, AQ40 (even though it was broken because of the world event and buggy as hell), and Naxxramas when most people never got the chance to experience it and taking the T3 gear into PvP as a tank and guarding a flag, knowing nobody could hurt you, was like being a God amongst peasants. WoW really died after Burning Crusade for me, when they took Naxxramas and made it a joke of an instance with none of the difficulty of the original, all to push 10 man raiding... just killed the whole experience for me.

#2. Beating Dark Souls without looking on the internet or cheat guides, I think if people beat this game naturally it should make almost every top 10 moment of accomplishment at least.

#3. Beat Zelda 2, as a kid. I don't know what it is but when I fire this game up on my emulator nowadays it kicks my ass, yet I remember beating it all the way through when I was like 8. Funny how it reverts.

On Everquest Project 1999, my guild beat Plane of Sky (killed Eye of Veeshan) pre-kunark release.

That was something no other guild in the history of EQ had done.

Granted, it did take like 80 people...

The strat we came up with to beat EoV was insane.

1. Knocking out Tyson
2. Halo on Legendary
3. Carding a 42 on one of the versions of Tiger Woods. I ****ing sonned that game. I'm better at golf games than any other type.

you know, not to one up you or anything, but I was #2 in the nation on Xbox Live Tiger 2005

I would sit in my room and play that game 18 hours a day. It was borderline psychotic. I was the money leader as well...and had 60 more holes in one than anyone else online.

(of course, this is because one day I made a custom course online of par 3's and made it all the same hole, and then took a grease pencil and marked my TV where I needed to line up the shot...and then it was 3 power clicks and 2 spin clicks to hit the hole in one...so I had the all-time low round of an 18 posted online as well)

I haven't played Tiger since. 2005 was such a great game but I burned myself THE **** OUT of it...

I got to #2 by playing ONLY (I forget the mode online...but you could play with caddy tips against someone or without them...I played without)...I learned how to read the greens by using the chip to see the slope of the greens (while on the greens) and I perfected the 1 putt that way without caddy tips...

it just absolutely raped people online...I was unbeatable on my home course and the #1 guy and I used to have epic showdowns...

again, did I mention...I had no life at this time?

I kid you not I'd pay 10-18 hours per day...no job, no school...just sat in my room like a homeless person and played Tiger 05.

Original Halo in Legendary Mode.

This.

Plus I've never been an achievement fiend. I'll generally beat a game's main storyline on medium difficulty then never touch it again. If it's good, like a Red Dead Redemption or something, I'll throw it back in for another play-through. I still never bother to up the playing difficulty though; that shit just pisses me off and I want to break things.

LMAO That's a pretty "urban" thing to say. Are you "urban", Hamas?

No shit...that game is crazy, was rewarding to beat. In fact to me the most satisfying achievements come from those old school NES games...beating Battletoads, Bubble Bobble, Ghosts 'n Goblins, etc. are still up there very high on my list.

Thought about giving a Perfect Pac-Man a go...been studying some patterns and whatnot. That would be the ultimate.

I beat Kingdom Hearts 2... without dying once. one start over but it was a time based event I did not do in time, but didn't die.

Tiger 2005 was a great game... that was the last one I played too. Never really did the online thing though. My best round was a 41 at Coeur D'Alene. IIRC I barely missed two more hole outs for a 39. Probably the best round I ever played on a golf game.

But my favorite was probably in Madden 2005, another great game. Probably the last great Madden game. I was playing a franchise with the Chiefs. One season I got flat out destroyed in Pittsburgh in the 2nd round of the playoffs. Got them again the next year in the conference title game, this time in Arrowhead. Still had trouble hanging with them though. IIRC it was tied late, they marched down for a long FG attempt with hardly any time left. I thought I was done. Somehow, I broke through and blocked the FG. Had time for a couple plays, got a 1st down or two, called timeout... and hit a 50+ yard FG to win the AFC title. That was fun.

Yeah...no.

Never broke out the grease pencil. I'm not a great gamer by any means, but I'm 99th percentile on Tiger Woods.

Nerdy post right here.

I used to play Starcraft Brood War very competitively. Obviously sucked compared to the Korean pro gamers but on the online ladders I'd play exclusively Koreans which was always fun, cause they were the best competition. On this one ladder called iCCup, the ranks went from D- to A+, with another rank above A+ called Olympic. Everyone in Olympic and A+ ranks was a Korean progamer, anyone from A to B+ was a very, very, very solid player. B and B- were also very hard to get.

One night I decided to play some games. I lost the first one and then won something like 14 straight and went from C to B-, pretty much exclusively against Koreans. Some of the people I beat ended up getting B+, meaning they were really, really good. Those were definitely the highest level games I've ever played and when you hit that rank, you get respect from a lot of people. Man that game was fun.

Thinking about it refueling and landing the jet in Top Gun nes was hard as ****. No problems doing the missions in fact kicked ass in the missions but refueling in midair and landing were a bitch to do.

So you should or could be getting a call from the White House to take care of that pesky North Korea army if need be right?

"Seriously..." Achievement on Gears of War. 10,000 online kills. That shit took forever. The best part was you got an avatar for completing it and everyone that played rocked that once you got it.

my first time beating Mike Tyson in MT's Punch Out.

I was top 100 in the world on Warcraft II back in the day (mid-late 90's). I could get ogre bloodlust faster than just about anyone and just demolished people.

Nowadays I'm nothing special but back then the competition was a bit easier.

Oh and I went 95-2 in a Call of Duty game a couple weeks ago.

Platinum Medaled every level in the N64 version of Star Wars Rogue Squadron... three times. Damn kids down the street erased my save game, twice.

Very Nice. Loved killing Avatar of War...Also loved clearing out Temple of Vesshan and Vulak.

This wins.

I finally hit Battletoads with a hammer and walked away.

Battletoads has got to be the hardest goddamn console game ever made.

I didn't even see that post. How the **** do you beat Battletoads? I thought that shit was impossible.

I was a part of every server first on the Tribunal up until Luclin when I quit. The Key Camps for Ssra made me sick.

I came back for Gates of Discord. Now THAT expansion was HARD AS SHIT, but that's what made it GREAT, imo. Lots of people couldn't handle it.

I beat it on an emulator by restarting over and over again in that goddamn gocart stage and memorizing the sequence. I could probably beat the console version now that I cheated to beat the emulator version.

But prior to the emulator, I don't think I'd have ever gotten it memorized.

That game was a hell of a lot of fun....until it wasn't anymore.

I remember playing that as a kid and wondering what kind of dick would make a game that hard.

Was top 200 on the world leader board for Battlefield 1943 at one point, yeah lots of weed and spare time obviously.

Along the lines of the impossible to beat games like battletoads...

There was an awesome GTA-esque game on PS1 named Driver, the final stage is virtually impossible and I tried to beat the 2-4 minute stage for at least a combined 40 hours total , did anyone ever manage to beat it? You were driving a limo with Clinton in it with hundreds of very angry cop cars punishing you at every moment if that jogs your memory.

I practiced a shit ton on an emulator and took it to the NES and finally beat it.

I still can't beat JAWS and Friday the 13th and I'm still trying to this day lol...

NES had some ridiculously hard games.

I did. That stage was a bitch. Also beat Driver 2 - it had a pain in the ass level too where you had to chase a guy down. Damn near impossible.

I did hate those key camps. The only thing that made them not so bad for some of us was that others had our login and would 2 box our account and get our keys. I was a cleric most of the time so people were always willing to help me out first which was nice.

What the **** is the deal with Koreans and Starcraft? I've never understood that.

1. Starting 0-8 with the 2005 Arizona Cardinals but then winning the next 8 in a row only to lose the first game in the playoffs.

2. Winning the National Championship with Oj Mayo and Taj Gibson going pro before the season

3. Turning my city into a libertarian utopia on Sim City 2000

I don't think I ever beat Driver myself, but I've heard many, many stories of broken controllers. I watched my brothers try to beat it over and over again.. not sure if they ever did. That game was brutal.

I think it's just cause the game came out in 1998, right when the Internet became a really big deal in Korea and they were capable of better speeds and what not. The game just came out at the perfect time. It was just the game to play at the gaming cafe's that they all go to and it caught on and of course is still going, although Starcraft 2 isn't near as popular there as Brood War was. It's easy to see Brood War came out in 1998 and wonder how people could play it for so long competitively and not get bored, but up to last year when Blizzard basically killed it off in favor of the newer game, Brood War was still changing and new build orders and strategies were being created. Pretty amazing when you think about it.

1) Platinum trophy in BorderLands
2) TKO Tyson in RD1
3) Getting Knights of the Round and beating Emerald Weapon in FF VII
4) Grinding all the way through Mass Effect 1/2/3

Approximately how many times did you have to replay the stage?

it was me and another rounder online...

he set up the custom course and invited me to play...and he was like "lets get an 18..."

the grease pencil was his idea...but he kept ****ing it up somehow while I got the 18 on his custom course...

the best thing I did was I didn't really touch online until I totally beat the game and had my character maxed out in every regard with every piece of equipment possible to increase how far I could hit the ball etc...

then I discovered online and it was over

I played the #1 guy at his home course...it was one of those glitchy fake courses...he found a glitch where you could turn 90 degrees to your left on a par 5...hit it through a certain tree line...and then drive it on the green in 1 by hitting it like 90 yards with a loft iron and bouncing it off a specific tree

it was hilarious...I went into practice mode and it took me an hour but I figured out exactly how to do it

that one would PISS people off online...I was called a cheater...everything...

I got to the point where I figured out how to hold the controller so I could hit Y (the slow mo button) and then know exactly how much I'd have to spin it/not spin it to get it in the cup or within an inch almost every time...

I was disgustingly good at that game and in all honesty...with the gross amount of hours I put in that game if I wasn't as good as I was it would have been embarrassing.

I literally did NOTHING but play that game...I was a pathetic piece of shit for that 3 month stretch...didn't go out, didn't socialize...sat in my room, played Tiger while my friend would come over and play Party Poker. Sometimes we'd drink in my room. But I'd still be playing Tiger while he was Party Poker'ing it up.

I forgot one. I went undefeated against the CPU and all of my friends with "LA" using only one particular Offensive play the entire time. They only played me once per though.

Beat Illusion of Gaia when I was 10 years old.....with a cast on one arm.
Won my video game league's EA NHL championship in Season 1. I commish it. We're in Season 12 now.

Beating Ocarina of time in about 7 hours.

Being other worldly at Time Splitters 2 on Game Cube.

Halo on legendary.

I was ****ing good at AOE 2 and AO Mythology

I am right there with ya on this one. Loved this game and could play for hours on a couple of quarters. I have been considering ordering one online. Last I looked you could order one for like $3500. I think they had a gold edition or something like that for 5-6 grand.

Edit...
Just checked Ebay and there are 2 on there ranging from 6400 - 7300 and that isn't even the gold edition I was talking about.

How the hell did you TKO Tyson in RD1?

My memory is that even if you get him with every counter-punch in round 1, there simply wasn't enough time to knock him out 3 times. That delay he did before the lightening punch was just enough to keep you from taking him down 3 times.

I was good at Punch Out and I was generally happy to get him down twice in the first round. More often than not, I'd get him to where he was one punch away from a 2nd knockdown, then wait until the next round and start by dropping him and then have to haul ass for the TKO.

A punch just doesn't do enough damage to him to knock him out 3 times in round 1.

I beat Street Fighter II at the 7-11 on one quarter the first time I ever played it. I had a couple of friends there that I started playing against, I won each time and when they ran out of quarters I finished the game.

Mario - lol - The maitre 'd at Canal Bar?

:wayne:

I'll tell ya...anyone who can beat the dam stage on the original TMNT NES game has my respect.

Just tried for a solid hour and STILL to this day can't get past it.

Unlocking the double moonrakers in Goldeneye.

Beating the jetski level on Battletoads.

I swear that game was glitched. There was a level that didn't give you nearly enough time to finish it.

Back in the day, I used to play a ton of Microsoft Golf 3.0. It was the golf game before the Links series came out. I got pretty damn good at it. Played in online leagues and tournaments.

There were hundreds of players from around the world. One year they decided to do an online version of the Ryder Cup. I qualified for the USA team. I had pages upon pages of charts for club distances and courses. It was a lot of fun.

Then I got married.

Winning my first Deity game on Civ5.

That was a huge accomplishment for me!

Boom!

I actually thought that level wasn't even the hardest one in the game. I always struggled with the next stage on the rooftops. That one was difficult as hell.

TMNT was a damn tough game. It was close to Battletoads for the most part but Battletoads had that damn cart stage and that's what set it apart.

My greatest game achievement came about a month ago in WoW. Most will have no clue what im talking about, so i've been reluctant to mention it. I can't even begin to explain how perfect you have to play your character to beat this encounter.....and the fight is about 8 minutes long, non stop, perfection. You mess up once, and it's instant death-one shotted.

Anyway, WoW introduced an encounter for the Warlock class only that changes their fire spells from red to green. It's a solo encounter that pits you against a bad ass boss with a lot of difficult, frustrating mechanics.

It took me about 70 attempts to beat it and i did it with a poor gear score.

It's the hardest thing i've ever done in WoW or in a video game in general, and tons of Warlocks are crying for Blizzard to nerf it on the forums because its "impossible".

I have Warlocks in my guild with way better gear than me still trying to do it and can't.

It was so intense that when i finished the encounter my hands were shaking. I had to take a walk just to chill out because i was so amped up.

How's this for some crazy shit:

I found out in one of my classes yesterday that one of my students participated in the infamous WoW attack "Serenity Now Bombs a Funeral".

When I have them perform a cultural analysis I almost always use that video as a teaching tool as an example of how we allow virtual interactions to occupy as much time and emotion and physical interactions.

It was basically a million to one shot.

That's a great feeling in an MMO. I solo almost exclusively in these games, and doing stuff that other people won't even try is a rush.

Pitched a perfect game with Zack Greinke in MVP 2005.
