Weekend Debate: Your proudest gaming achievement (update)

I find it hard to say what my proudest gaming achievement is.

Gaming since the age of 2 I usually say, especially when you consider in those days games came on tapes and had to have code typed in to run. I think I learnt to read just so I could play games!

In terms of actual games themselves I think finishing all the early Sonic games without losing a life, with all the emeralds ranks up there. I even managed to do Sonic 1 without getting hit once, after a lot of practice I must admit. Even harder when there weren’t save states back then.

As for trophies I think getting the Wipeout HD platinum is my proudest trophy. It’s a game I refused to give in to, even when it felt damn near impossible (Zone Zeus and Beat Zico I think are the reason why I’m going prematurely grey!) and after 3 years, 5 months (and two PS3s) I managed to do it.

Now I just need Wipeout 2048 and another 3 years of my life…

Mine has to be whilst playing a Girls vs Boys event on Killzone 2.

I joined the game about 1/3 the way through & we were losing. During this crucial moment I had completely forgotten my dinner was in the oven & the tinger was about to ping. Because I was rather hungry too, which is also very important in gaming, I had to quickly plate my dinner whilst trying to remain active in the game. Luckily for me I was chosen as the assassination target, which meant I got to hide & remain protected by my team mates. This gave me prime opportunity to shove a lot of my dinner in my mouth…

However, the score was even stevens. The last part of the game was search & retrieve, something I am particularly skilled at. Armed with a grenade launcher & boost perk, I decided I was gonna do this for our team! We don’t lose, especially against girls!! I ditched my dinner & retrieved all 3 packages.

Considering I was very drunk at the time too & could hardly focus on the TV, I will always remember this match both for it’s intensity & hilarity.

I thing tycho2′s comment(44) should be taken down purely down to the fact that mentioning the old BBC computers has just made me feel very very old and way before mt time I hasten to add

Congrats to all the winners!!

All great comments IMO

I *think

platinum on Far cry 3. It’s hard.

@anunnakid

I have to disagree there buddy.

I am 3 (co-op) trophies off from getting the Far Cry 3 Platinum.

You get most of the trophies by just playing the game to be honest.

The only mildly awkward one was “They Didn’t See It Coming” but all you do is line a pirate up under a zipwire using the throwing stones technique. When in place jump on the zipwire and jump off when above the pirate.

Job done!

*just make sure you have death from above unlocked on your skill tree first.

Surprisingly easy Platinum IMHO and I am far from being an avid Platinum trophy hunter. I only have (3) the Sly 1 & 2 plus the Heavy Rain Plats.

Far Cry just takes a bit of time to get but all in all it’s a pretty easy task to get that Far Cry 3 Platinum.

FC3 will only be my 4th Platinum

My proudest moment was way back, before I moved from home and we used to gather together and play 4-player split screen on the Ps2. After a lengthy session of Dead or Alive 2 it took us quite a while to untangle the controller cords.

However, the game was Timespltters, 4-player, team death match, us vs 10 hardest Duckman npc, Bank map, kills-losses scoring (kill=+1, death=-1). I remember we had been playing for quite a while and I was on such a streak that I got surprise that the game didn’t end long ago, so I asked around. My gunmen all told me they were doing fine so I just kept on owning those ducks. The limit was 100 points, which equals 25 more kills than losses for each member of our squad.
Well, when the smoke finally settled, and we had won, I curiously reviewed the scoreboard and found that everyone but me had contributed negatively (more death than kills), and I was the sole reason that we had won the game!

I had walked through a sea of duck, and had come out victorious. At that point I truly felt like a gunslinger! ;D

Thanks for including the post numbers in the post Fred

Well, my proudest achievements are two.
The first is Castle Guide for Ico (I obtained the Platinum too, but other trophies are easy): beating the game under two hours is insanely hard, because the game counts the time for the last cutscene, that is about ten minutes.
Excluding that, by the way, is very hard to pass flawlessy all the section of the game, becaus you must leave Yorda behind you and act very fast.
The second one is Meticulous Collector from Shadow of the Colossus (I have the platinum on this too): the HD version screwed up some fights, like the one with the third colossus, so beat him under the spare time is very difficult.
I managed to beat him after one whole week, it was hard but hey, I did it

I forgot to mention that the numbering of the winning comments works just fine.

Cheers for the reminder Mik (again)

Some great answers. And thanks! No idea how to check for PM’s! Best get onto that.

My proudest one would have to be finishing Cubixx HD getting all the platinums trophy or getting all 284 medals of Alien Zombie Megadeath, that was some feat.

Imo I think proudest evolve through time, I am still proud to be the only one to have done all 3 modes of Super Stacker Party Deluxe but what the game give me was a response that the game cannot be 100%, and at the moment they can’t provide help regarding that matter, inXile entertainment is busy with Wasteland2 and they subsidiary sparkworkz also.

So no deal for me I’ll be sticking at 71%.

Hope that helps

My proudest gaming achievement has to be convincing myself that I was perfectly happy with my XBox & that I would never buy a PS3! This went on for about 2 years until my cousin showed me the wonder that is Little Big Planet. The rest is history. Thankyou Sackboy for making me see the light.

Thanks TinTin, it did

Completing Dead Space & Resident Evil 4 with 100% trophies.

Would love to collect all the trophies for Red Dead Redemption, I have 27/91 trophies.

I remember being bored the month god of war 2 came out, after beating it on hardest difficulty I was left with nothing to play, I decided to try a game I never heard of before that’s when i picked Yakuza, both first and second game it was the most magical weekend of my life beating up hoodlums, saving salary men while walking around in a realistic representation of one of the Tokyo districts it left me wanting more. Ill never forget that weekend at the end when I had 100% saves on both Yakuzas I felt like i could beat anyone that stood in my way kind of silly but till this day I’m still trying to recapture that moment.

play 2 x 24 hr then fall a sleep tinking = only 1 min i tink i have close mi eyes , but i then see = 10 hr after .

Getting Plat on LBP 2 I suppose, the 1440 Minutes of Create trophy takes a while to get. :’)

Ok I’ll reiterate mylast post, my proudest gaming achievement is to have fully understood that gaming is not about trophying because since I joined ps3 that has been my goal when I get platinum on Cubixx HD or got 284 medals on Alien Zombie Megadeath, it’s just about having fun.

I don’t care about anymore trophying if I can get those that’s ok if not no harm taken, I say this because Super Stacker Party Deluxe will never be done at 100% since inXile Entertainment talked to me and said that the game is not allowing that, so I will say at 71%, and who cares, basically the only ppl reading these will be me, I just thought on leaving this here.

Good luck fellas on your trophy hunting I will be having fun instead

my proudest acheivement

All friend requests welcome

Unlocking Tofu in Resident Evil 2. Takes a lot of dedication to achieve it.

My favourite trophy recently was when I got my first platinum trophy on my ps vita on Resistance it was cool to think that hopefully it will be the first of many to come.

A bit late to the party, but my proud “Achievement” moment will go to Persona 4 Golden.

Being one of the lucky importers of Solid Gold Edition, been playing only that since I received it back in early Desember.

Have clocked in about 170 Hrs on this so far, and the Plat is getting closer and closer. Got the infamous Rise trophy earlier today

All of you waiting for this, you are in for a superb treat, highly reccomended
