Your Personal Best? (Achievements)

[diet_orange]

Not really a high-score thread per-say, but rather just things you're proud of

A big one for me is a 44 minute police chase in Need For Speed Undercover on PS2. It wasn't really intentional, just wanted to see how long I could drag one out considering how busted the chase system is

Beating Titan Souls in under 20 mins for the "Aerodynamics" trophy.

Beating 10 ranked opponents in a row on Mortal Kombat X online.

Beating three Metal Gear Solid games with the BIG BOSS codename without save states or special items.

Beating Through the Fire & Flames in Guitar Hero III on Expert.

Beating Shadow of the Beast for Sega Mega Drive without save states.

I once took down like, 14 other players in Minecraft all by myself by just towering and throwing snowballs at them when they tried to tower and kill me. It was epic and I wish I recorded it.

Hmm... I beat all the Final Fantasy superbosses, which was hell.

I remember having the coziest looking farm in Story of Seasons:Pioneers of Olive Town and Doraemon Story of Seasons.

I got over 60 kills in Halo 4 once in one match.

Off the top of my head, I'm pretty sure this is the only Achievement I've actively try-harded to get:

It's from Metro 2033. Played on the Ranger Hardcore difficulty or whatever it was called, definitely one of the most tense stealth sections I've ever played.

Beating a couple of nineties graphic adventures without hints made me feel like the smartest motherfucker around.

It was one hell of an ego boost lol.

On megami tensei 2 for the famicom I had to fight a very difficult boss on ginza after a long walk through a dungeon, I had no idea it was there and I was very low on resources. the fight was very long and the enemy very powerfull, it was meant to be fought much later in the game and I had entered his room by accident, I was barely doing any damage and the fight itself was at least 10 minutes long.
By the middle of the battle, the beast killed most of my demons and the heroine, it was only me and other demon (I think it was atlas) which I got a few steps prior to the fight. when I was almost dead the status icon of the boss changed to reflect it was almost dead too!, on a last ditch effort to win the fight, I used my only revival item on the heroine, which gladly (thank god) restored her to full MP, I continued the fight with the heroine, the protagonist eventually succumbed to his wounds but the combined effort of my three remaining characters was enough to finally win the fight by the skin of my teeth!, the heroine leveled up like 5 times and I died to the next random encounters but I didn't care, that fight was totally worth it

Hell yeah, sounds like one of those emergent moments you'll remember for the rest of your life

 

[χKai]

Soloing Final Fantasy 1 NES with a White and (almost) Black Mage

Soloing Final Fantasy Tactics multiple times and stole every Genji Equipment and Masamune each time.

Swordless Zelda 1 (and soon LttP)

3-Heart run every Zelda I can (so far)
Ocarina
Majora's Mask
Wind Waker
Twilight Princess
Uhh.. I almost did in Breath of the Wild, but after 2 or 3 finished Divine Beasts I got tired of only having 3 hearts so
Master Mode the first time playing is insane and probably a greater accomplishment than the fact I killed the horse when I fought Calamity Ganon because it was not listening, then I proceeded to beat him without it

No-Damage ran Ninja Gaiden 1 NES on a whim (to make it interesting as a way to make it up to my brother for stealing the TV )

 

[DanCalibur]

When I was a kid, I could 100% Super Metroid in less than two hours. Now I can't even make Ridley drop the Metroid

On my first playthrough of SMT II I was using GameFAQs for maps and saw the passwords and decided to unlock them all and explore a lil. Never got stuck from doing that. This was from before my Mac was factory reset for booting problems though

 

[TechBlisSTer]

During my first playthrough of Final Fantasy 7 when it was still a new release. I discovered a way with the right Materia combination to beat Emerald Weapon by having the game play it self with no further controller input. I got the fight started. Turned the television off and had to do some errands with the family. 8 hours latter I came back home and got to watch the game beat Emerald Weapon for me.
And no I my characters were not maxed out. I had a lot of game to play afterwards. And I never did beat Ruby.

 

[random0nonsense]

The only time I played Resident Evil 5 the AI Shiva basically ate all my ammo before the final boss. I took that bastard down with a knife.

 

[PSVitaForever]

When I was able to score lots of kills in "Killzone Mercenary" multiplayer against people that clearly were better than me.
In single player, when I completed all the postgame quests/monsters in FF13 (apart one with two twins monsters above a rock), especially one where I had to carefully memorize a video-walkthrough, and surely it wasn't like "FF13 is just auto button and you win" - I also instakilled those dinosaurs following the Vanille cheat, but never grinded them for rare materials because it felt useless.

 

[Snipo]

As a kid, I beat all the mission 100 fights in DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3 on perfect, which means not getting hit once.

Same here except mine is from Metro Exodus, beat it on the first playthrough on Ranger Hardcore difficulty, this chapter is ridiculously hard to stealth since it's pretty damn long and there are 2 forced encounter against certain creature.

 

[Cu-Neo]

- Completing Nightmare mode in Trails of Cold Steel
- Getting all the S rank on Revengeance in MGR
- Doing 7 day Survivor on xbox 360

 

[Lee__Kanker]

Nothing crazy, but I always thought I was never good enough to play shotting games, and I got a one credit clear in Gradius 1

[Badseed Badseed]

Getting out of bed in the morning, I make sure to set that achievement bar really low

 

[rugal]

complete 100% prinny 1 and prinny 2

getting all things in crash bash

 

[ObscureJigglypuff]

I'm not really skilled like many of you guys, i think my only personal achievement could be having beat Romancing Saga Minstrel Song in the hardest difficulty, beating Trails Of Elore in that mode, almost one try.

 

[GuyZero32k4]

Go through Art of Fighting 2 without losing a round to get to Geese Howard. Once you know how to exploit the Ai, easy. Even on hard.

Go through Fatal Fury Special without losing a round to get to Ryo Sakazaki on Hardest. Barely pulled it off. It's a knockout Superman.

Beat Ninja Gaiden on the NES without any help. Back then there was no internet, mags didn't cover it or said what the bosses did.

Clear the 50 person survival mode in Dead or Alive 2 Ultimate on OG Xbox. It unlocks everything in 1 go.

Unlocked everything on House of the Dead 2 on the dreamcast.

Get S grades on all of House of The dead Overkill on both Wii and PS3. Without the sight on screen. Since I shoot for real, more challenge for me. Get the Goregasim and kept it for rest of stages.

Recently, beating beating both Shinobi Art of Vengeance and Ninja Gaiden Ragebound, it was like a heartfelt throw back to hard ass 2D games. I enjoyed my anger time with both.

Most recently getting Platinum on Resident Evil Requiem. After beating it first time without any walkthrough, it was payback time.

 

[Appiplyer]

Beating the mime in Final Fantasy 5 Using Bruteforce instead of waiting.

GOD DAMN i grinded so hard just to beat that guy then i randomly wandered in the internet and found out you can literally just wait againts that dude.

 

[ThatOneLum]

I enjoyed beating Sephiroth on Proud Mode (or critical mode, I can't remember which is which but it was the harder of the two that you only get on the HD re-release/Final Mix versions)

I did the whole thing for the achievement on the hardest difficulty, even though it was pointless as you get the achievement no matter what difficulty you play it on. But man, that felt good when I was done.

Literally felt harder than PLatinuming DS1/2 tbh

 

[Megarockman _1987 Megarockman _1987]

Beat level 1-1 of Super Mario Bros without looking at the screen
