What's achievement in videogames are you most proud of?
Maybe it's that first PUBG victory, or becoming a Grand Champion on Rocket League. Maybe it's the time you got passed that awfully difficult level, or the time you actually got around to finishing your backlog.
In Kerbal Space Program i circumnavigated Kerbin in an amphibious vehicle. It was a challenge someone in the forums set and it took me about 20-30 hours of play time in total. I documented the whole thing in the forums but it unfortunately got lost during the transfer to the new forum site :( . It was genuinely the most fun I’ve had in a game since there were so many problems to solve, i even had to make a crane to lift the vehicle up the ice shelf at the pole.
EDIT: looks like the post actually does still exist on the forums! You can see it here if anyone is interested
Completing the Vidmaster challenges in Halo 3 and ODST to earn Recon armor is probably up there for me. They sure didn’t make it easy and it feels good to have earned Recon. For example this achievement:
Vidmaster Challenge: Endure: In Firefight, on any mission, pass the 4th set on 4-player Heroic LIVE co-op.
This one alone takes nearly 3 hours of continuous playtime per attempt and I remember the frustration if you failed a wave and had to start over.
I remember those, one of the few times in my gaming lifetime I was willing to help and join random parties of randoms was to get those Vidmaster challenges done with them.
Everyone wanted Recon so it really brought people together to grind out the challenges. Man I really miss the old Bungie and those Halo 3 days on Xbox 360.
There's two actually and both are pretty niche but I'm proud to have accomplished.
I love to surf in CSGO/CSS/Momentum Mod and at the time of writing I'm top 1.4% of a large server on CSGO of people who surf which isn't amazing by any means but feelsgoodman.
I managed to finish a 16 star "run" on Super Mario 64 (wasn't fast but was super fun and the child in me was in amazement)
All the Slay the Spire achievements and did Ascension 20 until I could win most of them and get some streaks of like 5 or so at each character. I‘ve long since stopped and would lose a lot more now, but it was probably the most serious I‘ve ever gotten with a game.
Yay, me too! I unlocked the last achievements in the past few weeks, after 650 hours or so of playing.
Certainly can't claim any major win streaks on A20 though, I think my record is 2 (one without the heart, one with). Far more loss streaks than win streaks still.
I killed the red dragon in demons souls with a halberd in the beginning of the level back when it first came out. I was so proud but had no one to show!
Took me a few months but last year I started speedrunning GTA V. Specifically Trevor%. My goal was to get a top 100 time, and I eventually did get I think 86th, but I’ve since fallen and not sure I’m even in the top 100 anymore.
Now this is luck and not skill, but I traded Pokémon in Pokémon GO with a friend. When you do this, the Pokémon you send to your friend rerolls its IVs. The Duskull I sent him rerolled its IVs, the Buneary he sent me rerolled its IVs, and we both ended up with perfect-IV Pokémon.
(I’m a 100-IV aka perfect-IV hunter in Pokémon GO. In the mainline games, I tend not to care as much.)
