Convinced my friend that the Jesus bus in GTA 1 could drive on water.
Nice. I once got a buddy in WoW to check out the Blood of Heroes in Eastern Plague Lands.
I beat Factorio without using belts.
…
No, I’m not a masochist, why do you ask?
Relatively new to the game, have launched two rockets. That seems… very tedious.
I’m guessing you rushed robots and then did it end game that way?
I was jazzed to not use lasers and only steam power on my second play through.
Basically, also trains, so many trains.
So train lines instead of belts, and inserters directly linking assemblers to each other? Wow, that base must be huge.
I have done some basics with trains, and a bit with circuits, but multi resource trains always jammed up on me and became unbalanced so I’ve basically kept them to single item type each. Plus, playing on console without keyboard means naming things like stations is a slow pain in the ass.
After seeing my husband play for hours, I didn’t even know it was possible to play without belts!
It’s not supposed to be played without belts, I’ll tell you that much.
Mine? Not much… I obtained all the achievements in WWE 2k14. That included some online only achievements that required certain ranking position. Not much I know.
Also obtained all achievements in the mass effect trilogy (which isn’t that hard tbh) just time consuming.
Getting all Dark Souls 1 achievements.
That Knights Honor one was pretty tough
Yes, getting Channeler’s Trident was a real pain.
when I was about 16 during an online match of Medal of Honor Allied Assault, I was so dialed-in with the bolt-action rifle that I got kicked for cheating.
I got kicked so many times in Quake II Rocket Arena for the same reaaon that I got fed up and started my own clan and stood up my own server. Which is actually how I got my current alias in here. [Crack] Happy
I had the same thing happen in Battlefield 1942 when I built up the skill of shooting the tank’s main gun to hit planes in midair. It’s not as hard as it sounds, it sends a righteous thrill of victory through your entire body, and it makes you look like a cheater. Great stuff
this wasn’t even something that I was usually particularly good at, I just happened to be doing everything right for like one game. I understood why they thought I was cheating, I was winning one-on-one duels in small rooms against guys who had like mp44s with a single headshot
My favorite fps achievement took place in Halo on the Xbox. We did the thing to play online and during an online ctf match I was on point with the sniper rifle. The match was tied up for flag captures and we were in a stalemate for a bit. The other team managed to get our flag and were running it back. As I’m in my sniper spot trying to line up the shot they all jumped at nearly the same time right into my sights. I take the shot and head shot every one of them… Except for the flag carrier because they apparently jumped just a tiny bit ahead of the others and dropped just enough to go under the bullet.
The entire lobby was going nuts over that last sniper shot. Even though we lost it was the talk of the match. The loss sucked but that shot was amazing. I quit playing for the day after that… No way was I going to top it so I left on a high.
Beat the original Mega Man in one straight shot.
That game was unforgiving when you got to Dr. Wily’s base.
The one that felt most impressive at the time was a successful Mun mission in Kerbal Space Program.
First time I beat subnautica was on permadeath mode, that took a damned long time.
Hollow Knight 112% completion is what I’m most proud of. It was hard!
My raidteam managed to get a server first boss kill while raiding Mythic Tomb of Sargeras in World of Warcraft:Legion. I was so proud of our teams achievement, I actually got a tattoo of the Mark of the Kirin Tor, a symbol for my mage character, in commemoration of the achievement.
Gods damn I loved Legion!
The first that came to mind is 100%ing the OG Crash Bandicoot on PS1.
Back when you could only get a level’s gem if you didn’t use a checkpoint.
I worked a night shift job for a couple of years and three of us would grab a case of beer, twist up some smoke, and jam on OG Playstation after work was done at 6 in the morning.
Tekken, Crash, and Metal Gear were the major mainstays of our play sessions. Man, that brings back some memories lol
Getting a gem was also the only way to save. Crash Bandicoot may be the only game series where each new game is easier than the one before it, and Crash 3 was still one of the most challenging games on the system.
Got all achievements in The Binding of Isaac (flash version).
I managed a cyber cafe many years ago. Mostly filled with regulars that I knew on a first name basis and would usually sit in for a CS match if it was slow.
I wouldn’t call myself great but I could take down middle schoolers. That’s not what this post is about though.
A girl walks in, has some sweats on from the big university that’s not too close but still in the area.
She wipes all those kids out repeatedly. They start yelling, asking me to help them out so I do. I’m effectively going 50% with this person.
Before she leaves she reveals that’s she’s visiting her parents for the weekend and that she was on a team that was ranked or otherwise played professionally.
I asked her if I was good enough to play competitively.
She said no, she hadn’t played at all for a few months because of school and she was going easy.
Felt pretty proud that I was able to keep up with an out-of-shape pro.
Thousands of hours in Skyrim and I’ve yet to kill a bunny once. To be clear, this is intentional. I wish no ill on the bunnies. Just happy that I’ve somehow managed to not kill one accidentally.
Probably ascending in Nethack. With a wizard orc! (Not a good combo, but I’m stubborn.) I even
#chatted with Famine for shits and giggles.That’s awesome. I think I had three Human Valkeries ascended before I had success with another combination. Your orc wizard must’ve been so hungry in the early game!
My orc did get hungry a few times, but on a lighter side the range of available food is larger than the other races. Kobolds? Poison resist! Tripe? Nom nom nom. That dead pet? Waste not, want not. Goblin? What’s up with cannibalism, meat is meat!
When I was a kid in the 80’s and 90’s, you only owned a few games if you had an NES or SNES (or Sega equivalent) even if you rented/played a lot of them. So, I got insanely good at the few games I owned. After I beat Street Fighter II with every character on the highest difficulty, I decided to beat the game using only one button (plus the D pad, obviously). Finally did it with Chun Li and X button.
With Super Mario World, the hardest personal challenge I did was beating every level except the switch blocks. There’s a bunch of secret exits where switch blocks are supposed to be the way. It took a lot of cape+blue Yoshi shenanigans to get that one done.
Now that I’m old (or least older) and games are way longer, my biggest accomplishment is actually finding time to play a game all the way through, much less do side quests. I made time for BoTW, Horizon Zero Dawn, Nier: Automata, and Hades. But if I stop playing a game for awhile, I forget all the controls and that’s the end of that game.
