what is the greatest achivement you have accomplished in a video game? as for me, in Pokemon Fire Red (GBA) i beat the elite 4 with just one pokemon. EDIT: new rule. MUST BE DONE WITHOUT CHEATS, SAVES, COINCIDENTAL GLITCHES ETC. (e.g. no hyperspeed in GH)
The only one for now is beating resident evil 4's mercenary mode... That damn super salvador was a challenge, let alone beating him with people that I'm not used to playing as like Krauser.
I've done a lot of crazy stuff during my gaming life, but I think the most note-worthy archievement was beating Resident Evil 2 under 55 minutes, using mostly the knife (the handgun was used in a few bosses).
You can do that quite often in a pokemon game XD That is impressive considering mostly knife usage. ...I beat haze on normal in just 3 days without any real direction on what to do...I died heaps of times but...I beat it. Note it was in 3 hour sessions on each day.
In Super Robot Taisen that is near impossible,since the minimum damage is 10. Its much more easier to kill your enemy.
Fable, I guess. Damn, gotta get around playing that game one day. On topic: Betaing God Hand on hard was pretty tough.
What is so special about that exactly? Finding rare gear in rpg's is a preset occurance, I could say how I found every diijin in the golden sun games, but that is a preset occurance. Here's another, beating contra 4 on normal without a single death or continue, it may not be on hard, but...that's an even greater challenge just to beat one stage
You could've stopped right there and it'd still be commendable, heh. I dunno, man. Some "preset occurances" can be quite complicated to archieve, like the True Ending in Persona 4: I know I'd have never done it without a walkthrough. Or the true ending on Chrono Cross. Dunno about that one from Lufia tho. Here's something from my childhood: beating Final Fight without losing a single life, alone, using Guy and not abusing of any bugs or glitches (like the infinite punch chain combo).
In Assassin's Creed 1 in Masyaf at the very beginning, a glitch made me fall through the floor, and I got the achievement for Surviving 100 battles with in a row.
I don't really keep track but I guess beating Contra III in hard mode without using a continue would count. I guess I can also say I S ranked every mission in DMC3 on Dante Must Die mode too. Not consecutively, but I do have the record thing that says I managed to S rank all of them at least once.
Course Iris Treasure are random and hard to find. Getting one on the first floor requires lots of real life luck. And after you find it you need to get another rare item to exit the dungeon. Oh,did I mention you start that dungeon with no equipment and at level 1?
Never got backstabbed by a Spy in TF2. Played and completed most of my FPS games with sunglasses on. Survived all 4 campaigns in L4D
*GASP*! Before I claim this as the greatest archievement in all of gaming, what's your total ingame time?
