What are your greatest gaming accomplishments?
Dragonzigg | 5:13 AM on 05.15.2009 17 comments


I don't mean achievements or trophies, though they can count obviously. What I mean is - What feats have you
accomplished in games that have made you super proud and satisfied? They don't have to be particularly
difficult or obscure, just stuff that you think would look good on a gaming CV. For example, a few of mine
would be:

- Completed Halo:Combat Evolved on Legendary difficulty

- Got 1000 gamerscore in Prince of Persia

- Defeated Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts II and the Lingering Sentiment in Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix +

- Chose 'The Needs of the Many' at the end of Fable II

Edit - How could I have forgotten completing the figurine collection in The Wind Waker? That took
aaaaages!

You get the idea. Like I said, doesn't have to be hard, just something that you feel proud of. Let me know in the
comments.

Beating my friend on CoD2 multiplayer on the 360 whos awesome at the game with a PAD . im a PC gamer who cant stand FPS games with PAD controls so it was a big deal for me. He has beaten me every single time before and since tho, lol.

Beating the Supreme Commander SP campaign even though i am not great at RTS games generally. The final levels are hard because you spend loads of resources building up a defence from attacks from a certain direction, then it opens up the map showing a counter attack coming from a completely different direction.

Beating Braid without using a FaQ or anything.

Im sure there are loads more but i cant remember. Also beating older (8-bit/16-bit) games is probably more of an accomplishment than beating more modern games.

Fallout 3 - The Nuka Cola Challenge. 'Nuff said. Also finishing the career on the original Rock Band on Expert.

One of mine I think is getting all of the Legendary Pokemon and finding the flipping things was a great achievement, as they are 1) Hard to find and 2) Hard to beat.

Completing Word at War (even though I'm not a fan of ti anymore) on Veteran as well as shooting the general with a pistol instead of a sniper rifle.

Beating Super Mario World and Yoshi's Island on the SNES.

Completing the Paris level on Worms Armageddon on the N64 (easily the hardest challenge ever invented), you can't mess up a single go, the AI is on hardest and its 1 worm versus about 5 or 6.

Finishing the insane world that is Discworld 2 and defeating the dragon.

Finishing my 24 hour race on Gran Turismo over the course of a few days of non stop playing.

Defeating The End on Metal Gear Solid 3 as well as getting his amazing Moss camouflage.

I only have one real gaming accomplishment that I can recall off the top of my head. Beating Contra on the NES without the Konami Code or the Game Genie. Did that once when I was about 13. Have never been able to do it since. :P
Nic128's Destructoid Blog
Completed Wind waker's figurine library. I haven't met anyone who did this beside me.

Completed every chapter on very hard in RE : Outbreak File 2. Desperate times is soooooo hard. Crazy. Damn gas.

Completed Metroid Prime on hard. Omega pirate is harder than the metroid prime itself.

My brother and I usually challenge each other to speedruns of new Zelda games when they come out. I obliterated him at Majoras Mask... which ruled, because he kicked my ass at OoT before it.

My apologies, I don't frequent the forums so I didn't realise that this had already been brought up there.

@Nic128 That makes two of us.

I guess one that stands out to me was based on sheer luck. At the end of FF7, Cloud had just leveled up off the last Jenova boss. The next thing I know that his HP has hit 7777 and he goes crazy all over Sephiroth, making it way too easy than it already was.

Going back and finally completing Mega Man 9 was big for me. I initially bitched out due to of the difficulty and set it aside for months out of shame. It took me a while to really get back into that retro mindset, and to re-learn how to play a brand new Mega Man game. I have since redeemed myself.

I was also super happy when I got my final achievement in Dynasty Warriors: Gundam, where you have to kill 100,000 total enemies. I had to work on that for a while, and I'm at about 76,000 on DW: Gundam 2.

 about me

Hey, I'm Martin, though the internet knows me as Dragonzigg

Unlike many self-confessed gamers, I'm not a lifelong fan, in fact I was barred from playing videogames til I was about 13. Unfortunately, I think this had the opposite effect to what was intended, instead simply making me more obsessed with games. Since then it's been impossible for me to get enogh of them, and I'd happily call myself a super hardcore gamer. No matter when it was made, what it is or for what platform I'll play it, unless it's Madden. I'm also from Tea-and-Crumpets land, aka Britain, and thus have got used to waiting twice as long and paying twice as much for my games. Nevertheless, I've managed to scrape together an Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, 2 DS's, PSP, Dreamcast, Megadrive and a gaming PC. Told you I was serious.

What else do people put in these things? Oh yes, I'm a masochist, aka a Sonic fan. Yes I know there hasn't been anything good in a decade. I love adventure and platform games, while I'm not so hot on driving and RTS games, though I'll try anything once. I love good stories and characters in my games, and have no problems wading through a tidal wave of cliche. Proof? I love JRPGs, especially Kingdom Hearts. Don't think anybody can question my nerd credentials there.




Will this do?
