Last night I finally 100%'d LEGO Batman 2, but I also did something I'd never managed in any other game: I unlocked every achievement. There's all of 37 of them, but it got me thinking a bit. Out of every game you've played, what was your favorite achievement? I know that mine, hands-down is from Ghostbusters: The Video Game. I think it may be the only one that ever made me stop after I got it to have a laugh. The achievement is called "Kosher!" and you get it for shooting a ham off a buffet table at a Bar Mitzvah. That's plain funny right there. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/...73-Kosher-.html So what have you managed to waste away the hours trying to unlock? Are you one of those crazed, blank-eyed types that actually has all 99 achievements from The Orange Box? Is there one that really struck you as clever? OK, now go outside and get some sun. You look pale.

In Bioshock there is a level where an insane artist makes you track down his apprentices, kill them, and take pictures of their corpses. When you kill him and take a photo of his corpse you get the 'irony' achievement.

"If they came to hear me Beg", in Halo Reach. Not only is it difficult as all hell, but it also sums up exactly how you're playing and feeling by that point in the game (well, it does if you picked it up at launch and played it in one long session). You have to launch yourself off a cliff and combine forward momentum and a jump to nail an elite with an assassination just as you hit the ground. Getting it is such a "gently caress YEAH" moment and it's a nice reference to another character in the series who doesn't get a mention in the game other than that. Spoilers (just to be extra considerate)as to why: By this point in the game you're right at the end. Reach is completely hosed and your last option is to get the hell off the planet with Cortana. You're psyched, you're pissed off and everyone is dying one by one. You're thinking gently caress this poo poo, I'm not giving up and hell, If they came to hear me beg, they're wrong. Fuckin' elites - get off my drat planet.

I used to have a compulsion to collect every achievement in every game I owned (within reason - if I hated a game's multiplayer mode, I wouldn't go for them) but now that I work full time and have other adult responsibilities, my gaming time is reduced and so I don't try so hard. I've 100%ed 20 games (including arcade games like Pac-Man but also stuff like Oblivion, Fallout 3/NV, Dead Space, etc.). I'd say my two favorite kinds of achievements are funny ones - Borderlands 2: "Well That Was Easy" (for beating the quest "Shoot This Guy In The Face" where a guy named Face McShooty asks you to shoot him in the face) and ones that you really have to earn, like "Frank the Pimp" in Dead Rising (simultaneously escort 8 female survivors at once, which is really a pain in the rear end).

It's probably telling that the only game I've ever 100%'d is Minecraft. But drat, those last two achievements were just annoying as hell. For "On a Rail", I had to find/make at least 500 pieces of track. That was the easy part. The annoyingly difficult part was actually try to go down the track. I didn't have any gold or redstone, so I couldn't make a single piece of powered rail. No biggie, I'll just use a minecart with a furnace in it to push me along. Cue about thirty minutes of trying to get the "engine" to push me the right way. Then about five more minutes spent chugging along because instead of being constantly pushed, I was being periodically rammed by the slow-rear end engine. That wasn't as bad as "When Pigs Fly", though. I spent maybe two hours corralling the lone pig in the same world I built the track in. Why didn't I switch to a world that would've been more populated? Because this one had an open-air dungeon and that's the only place you can get a saddle. Why did it take me two hours? Because I'm stupid and never thought to make fences. Then I had to dig a hole without the pig falling in, which it did. Constantly. Finally got to riding the stupid fucker and all of the sudden, it doesn't want to get near the hole. I don't have any control over the pig, so if I want to prod it to go anywhere, I gotta hit it. I hit it too many times, it dies and I gotta start over. Despite this, I'm pretty proud about getting "Hero of Fortune City" in Dead Rising 2, because I'm sure I got everyone except for Lenny.

lenoon posted:"If they came to hear me Beg", in Halo Reach. This is also my favorite achievement. If you don't run off the right edge of the cliff, run fast enough, or jump at the right time, you will not land on the Elite's back, and the fall is fatal UNLESS you assassinate him. So living with your shield gone and bleeping at you while you welcome an Elite to Mount Knifeback and getting an achievement for it is pretty great. ....ok I lied my favorite achievement is the one in Xenoblade. I jumped off a huge cliff, died, and then levelled up because that was an achievement. Achievements for LIVING after a leap of faith, but gaining experience and achievements for DYING after a leap of faith is better.

In Red Dead Redemption, if you lasso a woman, hogtie her, then place her on a train track and watch as she gets run over, you get the achievement "Dastardly". It's just such an extreme

A Monument to All Your Sins from Halo Reach. You get it for completing the campaign by yourself on Legendary difficulty. It was one of those eureka moments for me. When you think about all the man hours spent trying to beat games, find hidden widgets, or get past the big boss it gets depressing. And what do you get for it? Some little thing next to your name. A monument to all your sins is a pretty perfect summing-up. When it popped I had this flash back to all the time I spent staying up too late or raging at a screen. And all for video-games  So in conclusion; yeah go outside and get some sun.

For me, two from Dishonored come to mind. My favorite was probably "Big Boy," which you get for killing one of these guys by finding a way to stab the pilot in the neck: And for the best "gently caress yeah" moment, the "This is Mine" achievement. You get this after having all your gear taken away and being left to die in a prison cell in the abandoned, plague-infested half of Dunwall. So you have to break out of the cell, then basically survive by your wits alone in a VERY unforgiving place until you get to your gear. The achievement pops right when you pick up your stuff. Really a lot of the achievements in that game are kind of creative and unusual in some way.

The first thing I did in Forza Motorsport 4 was driving a Kia Cee'd around the Top Gear test track to see if I could beat Matt LeBlanc's time. Completing a lap gave me the "Star in a Reasonably-Priced Car" achievement  Also, Saints Row: The Third has a hilarious achievement called Stay Classy Steelport which requires you to beat people to death with an enormous purple dildo. And make them vomit with an item called Fart in a Jar.

As crappy as the game itself was, I love the achievement names in Silent Hill: Homecoming. They're so wonderfully referential to the series: Eddie's Legacy, Shades of James, In Water, Angela's Choice. In Mass Effect 2, the award for saving Thane's son from turning out just like him was Cat's in the Cradle. That's just amazing.

The Orange Box had an achievement for Episode 1: One Free Bullet. You had to complete the episode and were only allowed to fire one shot. Rockets, gravity gun and the crowbar were the only things you could use. That one shot? You need to save it for a padlock on a fence you're locked behind at one point. The rest of the episode is watching Alyx kick a lot of rear end and basically doing a reverse escort mission. Halo 3 had a lot of fun achievements, but my favorite was Mongoose Mowdown. You had to run over someone in a free-for-all deathmatch with the Mongoose quad-bike type vehicle. Mongooses were loud as gently caress and ridiculously easy to avoid being run over by, so actually pulling it off was always hilarious. (...example) Dead Rising's Zombie Genocider; flying into town at the beginning, you see the population count is 53,594. Killing 53,594 zombies on one playthrough gets you the achievement and unlocks Megaman's Megabuster for your next play. Left 4 Dead had a great joke/pun with Zombie Genocidest, which has you killing 53,595. Prototype had one that cribbed the joke called Trail of Corpses, but gently caress Prototype. Red Dead Redemption had a really good one called Manifest Destiny, which meant driving the all buffalo extinct. One at a time.

MMORPG Rift has a system that lets you turn in collectable artifacts for cosmetic rewards like costume armor and minipets. Among these is the Critter Tears Collection. Which has a bunch of flavor text ranging from "You feel like a big warrior?" to "That coyote was someone's mother." And the Dead Simon Collection which is a callback to the development meetings where every map had a mark where the designer, Simon, had died.

What stood out to me more than this was the Episode 2 one where you had to drag a garden gnome from the beginning of the game to nearly the end and put it in a rocket. It was also impossible to keep it in the car that you had to drive through about half the game so you'd have to keep getting out and shooting it ahead of you with the gravity gun. When you finally get it in the rocket and launch it, you realize that you didn't get the achievement because you didn't shut the hatch when you put it in. Luckily I had an old save. One of the craziest achievements I worked on was the one for collecting all of the orbs in Crackdown. It was a sandbox game that was something of a mix between Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction and a GTA game, and there was something like 2500 floating orbs that would increase your abilities throughout the game. These were on rooftops, in hidden tunnels, on the ground, in the middle of bodies of water and all over the drat place. There was an achievement for getting them all and I gave up trying for it after I had about seven or so of them left. There was no way to make them show up on your map or mini-map, there was no list or breakdown of how many were left in each area, there was just an amount that you still needed to collect and your own eyes and maybe an internet check list to find them all.

Right at the start of the game, there's a garden gnome hidden underneath a bed. Pick it up, and then put it in a rocket that gets launched. Where is the rocket? At the end of the game. Basically, you have to pick up the gnome and then carry it through the entire game. This includes a section where you drive a car while trying to escape a helicopter. There is no good place in the car to put the gnome, so you'll have to stop and pick the loving thing up dozens of times while a helicopter(and sometimes multiple helicopters) shoot at you. There's a place you can awkwardly wedge it in but it still flies out on turns. Also great is the fact that you can't use weapons while holding the gnome. And it always faces you, so you spend pretty much the entire game with that loving gnome's stupid face looking right at you. Still, it's funny. I've only played Episode 2 once and I got this achievement. Apparently a bunch of story poo poo happened and it was also a good game but when I think Episode 2 all I think is gnome.

Personally, I'm partial to some of the challenges in Gun Runner's Arsenal for Fallout: New Vegas. They aren't achievements in themselves, but if you get enough of the challenges you'll unlock some milestone achievements. I like "Benefit or a Hazard" (kill robots with the gun that looks like the one from Blade Runner,) "Historical Propriety" (kill Caesar with a knife,) and "You Don't Belong In This World!" (something about killing ghouls with religious-named weapons, I sort of forget.) Unrelated to Gun Runner's Arsenal, you can unlock a perk called Meat of Champions if you personally devour four major faction leaders.

The second one you mention was actually titled "Lunacy," which you unlock by beating the final boss, and the description reads "That just happened." But the first one is definitely a funny part, and needs the full description of the scene-- you've just fallen into a trap by the Villain, while your Ally provides some commentary. Ally: "Well, this is the part where he kills us!" Villain: "Hello! This is the part where I kill you!"

The next best part is that after you escape the trap, the villian then tries to ask politely if you could go back and kill yourself.

The thermonuclear war game DEFCON has a silly achievement called Merry Christmas which requires you to nuke an airborne Santa Claus. He only shows up if you are playing on December 24th and can be tricky to catch due to his high mobility. The achievement description instructs you to "Nuke Santa and thereby end Christmas for everyone, for ever more". As for personal investment in an achievement I can think of two, though they are actually trophies (PS3 equivalent): platinum in both Demon's Souls and Dark Souls, earned by unlocking all other trophies. I screwed myself pretty hard in Dark Souls and ended up having to beat the game three and a half times while clocking an excess of 150 hours before that little notice finally popped up. Put the game down and have not played on that save since.

It wasn't really an "achievement" because it wasn't a 360 game, but getting the set armor in FFXI was a pretty big gaming achievement. You basically just volunteered your time helping people get theirs in hopes they would help you to get yours. It would take a full 6 person team 4-8 hours per piece of armor for that single person. Pretty sure I was the 2nd elf on Bahamut to have to full set armor for Paladin.

DemeaninDemon posted:Then there's The Insane title you get from the 'Insane in the Membrane' achievement for raising reputation up with a bunch of worthless factions. It's Korean MMO level of grinding. Came here to post about this. As I got it the 'old' style, took over a year, and I loving enjoyed grinding for it. The Insane This title was THE achievement to get back in the day of WoW. It was called Insane for a reason, as you needed to get several faction reputations to be at a certain level at once, or it wouldn't trigger. This was nerfed a lot and its trivial now to get it. But let me explain what you needed to do back then. Take note that at the time, most dailies and such only gave 6-9g per quest and the most expensive thing in the game was the 5k gold flying skill. The factions you need to get to trigger it were: Honored with Bloodsail Buccaneers Exalted with Booty Bay Exalted with Everlook Exalted with Gadgetzan Exalted with Ratchet Exalted with Ravenholdt Exalted with Darkmoon Faire Exalted with Shen'dralar Reputations from from 0-42000, Exalted is the highest you can get (42000/42000). And Honored is roughly half way. The first five are related. Booty Bay to Ratchet are grouped together and are called the 'Steamwheedle Cartel' and share rep gains. And to get rep with them you just killed certain pirates around the world. However doing so with MOST pirates, you would lose Bloodsail Buccaneer rep. And vice versa, to gain Bloodsail Buccaneer rep, you had to kill Booty Bay NPCs which in turn brought down your Steamwheedle Cartel rep. The solution to this was to go at war with Steamwheedle Cartel, and kill every Booty Bay Bruiser in the small town Booty Bay, until you hit honored. This took ages as you were getting 5 rep a kill at level 70+. And you needed a group of people as the Bruisers were hard to kill at the start. But they spawned quick. Then once you have killed a few hundred to a thousand Bruisers, you are at 0/36000 hated with Steamwheedle Cartel. You swap over and ONLY kill pirates in small camps around the world. Ones that give Cartel rep but no Buccaneer losses. This took 3-4000 kills! The rest could be taken in any order, but were equally hosed up. Ravenholdt This was meant to be a Rogue class only faction, which they did flesh out in later expansions. But at the start there was only one way to get to exalted with them. First you had to go and killed hundreds of Syndicate NPCs that only spawned in the ruins in Arathi Highlands, until you got Honored with them. And half were stealthed in the ruins so you had to keep an eye out the whole time for them. This then opened a repeatable quest to hand in 5 Heavy Junkboxes for 75 or so rep. Heavy Junkboxes could only be got from the Rogue skill Pickpocket, and from only level 40-55 NPCs. And these NPCS only had a 33% chance to have these on them. And you needed 2000+ of them! So you needed a Rogue at level 50+ to pickpocket them for you, or buy them on the AH. Luckly I had a Rogue at max level at the time, so off I spent weeks just doing laps of certain 40-50 zones for them. Tyr's Hand was a good place for them. Shen'dralar This was a faction that was removed at the start of Cataclysm. But holy gently caress if you thought Ravenholdt was bad... To get exalted with these cunts, you needed to hand in certain items that dropped or were farmed elsewhere. First there were Librams. These were rare drops from the open world or level 50-60 dungeons. Second you needed a Pristine Black Diamond per Libram, another rare drop like the Librams. Then depending on what Libram you had you needed items that were soulbound (you couldnt buy or trade) in level 50-60 dungeons. And lastly you needed 2 Large Briliant Shards, an enchanting item that can be got from the profession Enchanting. As most of these mats were tradable, it was more efficient to buy them from the Auction House. The Librams and Diamonds had like a 2% drop change so grinding would be useless. From what I remember I was buying Diamonds at 200-1000g each, and Librams at 500-1000g each, and needed 76 of each set of turn ins. So I roughly spent around 53000-80000g on grinding this rep to max. Darkmoon Faire Another gold dump here, but you could only do it for one week a month. The Faire only appeared the first week of every month, so you had to get all your poo poo together for it to hand them in. To get to honored you can perform some profession related things, which was easy. I think you needed to grind Mithril Ore or Thorium Ore, but that was easy to get. Then to get to exalted you needed to hand in Darkmoon Faire Decks. A Darkmoon Faire deck was a high end item, that you got a high end trinket for. To make a deck you needed to collect EIGHT cards and combine them together. And to make a card you can buy them or make them using a profession called Inscription. This needed herbs that you needed to collect or buy, then convert to ink, then the inks converted to the card. And you need roughly 76-80 decks. The problem with this is that the Inscription making was random. You randomly got one of the eight cards you needed. So you could spend a few hours collecting herbs, convert them to the inks hoping you would get lucky and get the special inks needed for the cards, convert those to cards and maybe get one or two useful ones. So the best way for me was to buy them from the AH. Again must have wasted 60000-76000g on these, depending on how the prices changed. Oh, and the final kicker in the teeth? The trinkets you got as the reward were loving 'Unique', so I couldn't store two in my bags at once. This meant running back and from the mail box to send the trinket to an alt and getting the next batch. 30-40 times this needed to be done. Yeah, I know I am a sad gently caress. Post Nerf Shen'dralar was removed. Darkmoon Faire has daily/monthly/other hand ins now to boost that. You do not need to get Bloodsail Buccaneers and Steamwheedle Cartel all at once now. If you get Honored with Bloodsail for example, you can wipe it if trying to get the others to exalted. And vice versa. I think Ravenholdt give a lot more rep per hand in now. happyhippy fucked around with this message at Jan 15, 2013 around 13:49 |

The first one that comes to mind is in the HD version of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. For those heathens who don't know, it's chronologically the first Metal Gear game in the series, and at one point you meet the main villain of the series as a young man in a cutscene and knock him out. When the cutscene ends, you're meant to run off and leave him there, but if you take out your gun or knife or KNIFEGUN and kill him, you get a game over with voiceover from a character from one of the future titles scolding you for creating a time paradox. And the achievement: Problem solved, series over Love that one.

StandardVC10 posted:"You Don't Belong In This World!" (something about killing ghouls with religious-named weapons, I sort of forget.) That's "Perhaps the same could be said of all religious weapons" which is killing ghouls with the unique 9mm pistol Maria, the unique Shishkebob Gehenna, or Holy Hand Grenades. "You don't belong in this world!" is about killing abominations with a katana.

At the beginning of Half Life 2 on The Orange Box a cop knocks a soda can onto the floor and tells you to pick it up. If you put it in the trash like he says you get "Submissive". If you throw it at his face you get "Defiant". It's a dumb little thing but I like it.
