Top 10 Greatest Gaming Accomplishments

Go Gaming Giant takes a look at the top 10 greatest gaming accomplishments.

[ape007]

earning the mile high club achievement was the best achievement moment ever,I also beat it for 5 friends of mine,they couldn't do it,they gave up and I also beat it nearly ten times again

also I beat it on ps3 too for 2 times

[Go Gaming Giant]

I spent so many hours on Mile High Club, could never do it

[ape007]

to use your third eye and sixth sense

[dgroundwater]

Though I will say it was hard to achieve for the first time, it isn't nearly as difficult as it's cracked up to be. I've managed to finish it twice with only a pistol. Just know where to shoot, stun, and run. It works well as long as you don't screw up.

WAW on veteran is so unfairly hard considering the amount of grenade hax the Nazi's use.

[Theonik]

Mile high club was easy, infact almost everything on this list was easy.

[Cenobia]

Yeah, seriously. That and the Nazi's that spawn out of nowhere. I mean the infinite waves of nazi's was bad enough, but then I keep getting killed by magical invisible nazi's that only appear and shoot me when I turn around.

I did beat every level on veteran, but man did it make me hate that game.

[Darrius Cole]

Beating Ninja Gaiden Sigma on Master Ninja Level. Is my greatest achievement to date as a gamer.

Working on beating Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 at the hardest difficult now.

[Major_Tom]

If I may request a few things on the lay out of the page that would be great:

1) Love that this is organized onto one page, nothing makes people rage more when your forced to click through a crappy website like GameDaily.

2) More Media Plox. More Screen shots, perhaps a few embedded youtube videos. It just makes it a lot easier on the eyes and engages the user a lot more than just plain text on the screen.

[ShabzS]

its not gamedaily this is go gaming giant

[thegreatest7884]

I got to the end of Mile High Club once. Imagine my dismay as I learned "Veterans Only Take Headshots". My controller went out the window.

[gameseveryday]

completing Ninja Gaiden was my Greatest Gaming Accomplishments

[Go Gaming Giant]

OMG tht was so hard!!

[astrobrights]

I agree. NG was extremely hard.

[Cherchez La Ghost]

Fusstration & determination!

[Komega]

Getting NAT settings to work lol....classic

[TheHip14]

haha I still struggle with that

[Ramin123]

Mile High Club was insane......so many hours....so much pain argh"!!!!

[Go Gaming Giant]

its the last achievement i need in that game

[PirateThom]

I had a Super Mario World cart with three 96 gate saved games on them.

I love Mario World.

Then I deleted them to play them again.

[RockmanII7]

"I screamed at the top of my lungs and fell to my knees in front of the television. After around 5 minutes of screaming un-interruptible moans and sounds..."

Wow, seriously? On topic, my greatest achievement is either getting 100% completion in Halo 3 or getting the 'Little Rocket Gnome' achievement in The Orange Box.

[TheHip14]

That gnome achievement was so freakin stupid, I can't believe I actually did it

[ShabzS]

haha ... yeah i got that ach too... utterly stupid but still did it

[Sangria]

Actually, it's not that hard to complete Soul Reaver. Yes, i too finished the game when i was young and few months ago, i played the game and sometimes, i was like... "Eh...? Where am i supposed to go now? How to solve that? Impossible, i've checked everywhere, there's no way to go!".

But once you solve those puzzles, it's not really hard to continue. What is really trash with Soul Reaver is to complete the game with all powers, all glyphs and all bonuses. Because the game is a semi-open world (you can go wherever you want but if you want to reach C from A, you'll have to take the B and D path) and because some power-ups are only available once you have a certain power.

So, when you're only a rookie, with only your sword for you, you notice certain paths you cannot access (ok so there i'll have to climb with the claw upgrade, here i'll need the smoke power, here i must learn to swim, etc...) but once you finally obtained some of those powers, you played so much of the game you don't even remember where were those power-ups. So when you finish Soul Reaver, you have an irritating taste of uncompleted in the mouth because you know there are many stuff you couldn't collect.

(what an awesome game anyway)

[Marceles]

Yeah Soul Reaver wasn't that hard, Ocarina of Time wasn't hard either...I'd put Majora's Mask being a greater and tougher accomplishment lol.

[Ramin123]

Well obviously you and the guy below you didn't fully read into my article about Soul Reaver and Ocarina of Time. While I did say Soul Reaver was difficult, I did also say that the reason OOT was an accomplishment was because it was such an amazing game, and that I was so mesmerized by it that I felt it to be a gaming accomplishment.

In reply to those who say none of these games are really that hard, a game doesnt have to be hard for it to be an accomplishment to complete. If you had read it properly you would have got that.

Also @Sangria yes Soul Reaver was an absolutely excellent game. It is actually in my top 5 for best games ever. That game was so brilliantly written and the voice-acting I have not yet seen surpassed.

Also in reply to those asking about me being an 8-bit gamer or w/e (im not being ignorent by saying w/e) I owned only 3 games when I had the SNES(as I was very young so I didn't fully understand what I was doing). I didn't fully understand what I truly liked in games until the end of the GameCube era. I was a late bloomer ;)

@BaseballFan15 yes I really did scream at the top of my lungs for that achievement in a "OMG YES I CAN'T FLIPPING BELIEVE IT!!!!! kind of way. I had worked so hard for that achievement and I never thought it would come due to the glitch that's related to that particular achievement. But then again it's Epic so what can you expect??

Btw thanks everyone for sharing your lists, I would not go near Ninja Giden as tbh even when I played the demo I was like "F***ing **** and your f***ing mothers a *****" and so forth :P

[buckethead_911]

Ive completed CoD4 and 5 on veteran (1000/1000). However, I dont consider either of them a "gaming accomplishment".

Here are some of the stuff that I consider as accomplishments:

1. Being one of the main players of the best clan in Killzone 2. (Kings of Destruction, Former Rank #1)
2. Reaching Rank 21 on the leaderboards in Killzone 2.
3. Having a *LEGIT* KDR of 2.10 on Killzone 2 and a KDR of 2.50 on Gears of War 2.
4. Winning a tournament hosted by Microsoft for Gears of War 2 and being player of the tournament in it. 46 Kills/16 Deaths.
5. Winning 2 Killzone tourneys on gamingsauce.com

:-)

[Kamikaze8]

Yea beating CoD 4 on veteran was a lot of fun. very challenging.

[buckethead_911]

Yup, it was. I did it purely for the achievements (yes, Im an Ach. Wh0re).

The only part which I felt was challenging was One Shot, One Kill (The part where you have to wait for the chinook to evac you along with Capt. MacMillan). It was very cheap though.

[AKIronMaiden]

Wait, what about the Big Boss emblem for MGS4? Now that was hard.

[Sangria]

Actually i think the Big Boss emblem in MGS4 is a bit easier than the previous MGS. It was still a pain but there was less restrictions, especially about saves.

For example in MGS2, you only could save less than 8 times, in MGS3 it was 25 saves for the Fox Hound rank. So with no save limit in MGS4, it was quite helpful. Sure, it could take a month to finally achieve one part of the game so much it was hard, but as you could save whenever you want, i still believe it's easier in MGS4 to reach the Big Boss rank.

[karan8624]

My hardest and most "YESSSSS" achievement have been

1. Beating Radec on Elite
2. Getting top 1% in Killzone online
3. Syphon Filter on PS1, beating the final boss by throwing him into helicopter blades. Took me literally 2 years to go back to the game and figure that out
4. Becoming Jedi Knight in KOTOR

Actually, most of the "FINALLY!!" Moments come from FPS like KZ2, they're just so hard to get

[kaveti6616]

What's so hard about becoming a Jedi Knight in Kotor. I did that like 8 times. It's a natural progression of the game.

[Darrius Cole]

Nothing is difficult about it, but it is just so satisfying anyway.

[jessupj]

I consider myself a skilled gamer and I was progressing relatively easy on elite difficulty on Killzone 2. But when I got to radec, it took me 5 hours for that 1 boss fight.

Also the biggest achievement in my gaming career was by far getting the demon's souls platinum trophy. Took me a whole 130 hours of game time, I died I don't know how many times, but when that trophy finally popped up on the screen I almost started crying.

Honestly, just finishing demon's souls would be my second biggest achievement.

[Go Gaming Giant]

Beating Halo 3 on Legendary was no easy task either

[Cherchez La Ghost]

I'm barly getting by on Heroic mode on ODST. I'm dreadful to play Lengendary! But that what seperates the men from the boys!!

[Komega]

You should try Gears on insane, that one kept me up till 6 in the morning.

[Tex117]

So you weren't an 8bit gamer huh?

How about..

The jetski type thing in BattleToads?
Ghost and Goblins?

Final Fantasy and Dragon Warrior?

[BabyStomper5000]

A lot of people never knew there were more than 3 levels in Battletoads because of that part.

[ThatArtGuy]

No surprise that none of his game achievements are pre-1992. (SMB3 was around then too.)

[Infernostew]

My brother and I only beat the jetski level once on c-op, I was crazy hard. To this day I don't know how we did it.

[iceman06]

So you guys could appreciate that one of my accomplishments would be landing on the carrier in TOP GUN!!! No saves...no nothing...just try....repeat mission...try again....repeat mission!!! I actually kept that game on for almost an entire 12 hrs. just to finally get it right. From then...I could do it every time!*L* I don't have the patience now that I had then...If I had to do THAT again...I would have just turned it off!!!*LOL*

[Infernostew]

Try getting all the figments in Psychonauts, that was on hell've an achievement for me.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

I freakin' AGREE!

I hope Tim has something to mess with us in Brutal Legend.

[Cherchez La Ghost]

"Beating Call of Duty World at War on Veteran – Anyone who has the paitence for this feat deserves a fair amount of applause (even though I have done it myself). Mind numbingly difficult, between your useless AI allies, and the tendencies for grenades to be magnetically attracted to your position if you sit longer than 10 seconds at any given spots and add in the fact that enemies shoot out of the side of their arse as well as their guns leaves a foul taste (and even fouler language) in many a gamers mouth".

I never threw a controller on the floor since Call of Duty 3. But I never start playing any CoD games no lower than Veteran. You "ARE" a true gamer if you complete this series on Veteran.

[The BS Police]

Completing all of the following in Perfect Dark...

Completed all levels on Perfect Agent(solo and co-op).
Completed all gold stars in the firing range (without glitching).
Completed all Combat simulator Challenges (without glitching)
Completed all time challenges thereby unlocking every cheat.
Achieved the number one rank in Combat Simulator (without glitching).

[ape007]

pd64 was the greatest fps shooter of all time along with ge007

I remember those classics days,I've finished both ge007 and pd64 on 00 agent and perfect agent,those games were extraordianry,the harder you put the difficulty the more missions you face

ahhhhh azetec and controle level in ge007 were haaaaard,remember protecting natalya??

I was around 9 years old in the goldeneye days and around 12-13 at perfect dark days

Im 22 now and I've never seen any fps that can match those classics

sigh rare suck now

[HolyOrangeCows]

But not the one on COD4

{:vD

[Ramin123]

lol nice

[INFECTED503]

W@W was extremely easy! even on Veteran. kinda why that game sux and Treyarch is a joke!

[ico92]

what about beating ninja gaiden in its hardest difficulty?
and getting all mega man 9 acheivments?(honestly anyone who can get all of mega man 9's insane acheivments is beast)

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Ninja Gaiden?

Naw...

DMC3 on Dante Must Die! was way harder.

Ninja Gaiden is too predictable.

[RaymondM]

Oh man, Super Mario 3 was so tough!! Level 8 just seemed so unfair in so many ways.

[Redempteur]

Mines

- Radec on ELITE ( grrrr )
- KILLZONE 2 ( 1% rank )
- SOnic unleashed eggmanland missions ( what the hell is this level so hard ? )

- staying more than 2 hours in front of magnacarta 1 WHILE playing ..... no pause allowed ( i dare you )

-Zone of the enders 2 missions battles ( almost all of them )
-having all trophies in super smash bros melee ( it may not seems that hard but most of people ONLy have 99.9%.. the last one unlock when you reach 1,000,000 vs battles ONLY )

[chrisulloa]

is hard.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Anyone who has never played Counter Strike...

...go buy Counter Strike and play on a [vet] server.

Good luck.

Also...

...who brought Halo 3 up?

What the frick? No. Just...no.

Go home. Every Halo is easy.

[Major_Tom]

10+ Years of Counter-Strike.

I played the damn thing when it first came out.

You people... You people don't know pain.

[Theonik]

Agreed, most people here don't know what really challenging shooters look like. And every CoD game is easy if you are a decent player on CS.

[danielle007]

Through the Fire & Flames on Expert didn't make it on the list? ... That shizz is insane enough to just pass. I mean, at most a handful of people can 100% it, and most can't do it twice. Then there's that phenom man kid that's like 100%ed it like 8 times. He is srsly a god.

This article completely ignored the whole music gaming genre, which actually takes a shizzload of skill and reflexes and timing, especially to be able to sight read all of that nonsense.

Shame. I think it's epic.

[Komega]

Your absolutely right, I am in constant awe of people that can play Guitar Hero/Rock Band on Expert. That is real skill!

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[Redempteur]

You're right .. they ignored the music games

then i'll add READY STEADY GO on oeundan 1 ( cheerleader mode of course ) and by that i mean 100%

[YogiBear]

I did "The End" on Beatles Rockband %100 on expert drums. I found that quite challenging.

[Mc Fadge]

Shadow of the Colossus

[mjcrow33]

Emerald weapon FF7.

[itsralf]

3. Destroy all Leech Pods.
2. Final mission before fighting Radec on Elite.
1. Top 1% in multiplayer.

[Redempteur]

you can destroy all the leech pods on easy and get the trophy .. ( did it and succeed on the first try )

[itsralf]

i had some trouble with it.
it was about as difficult as shooting down 45 zeroes in w@w.
i don't know why, but i just suck at using mounted guns.

[gooneygugu]

Great list, I think Trials HD deserves an appearance too though.
