Games with the hardest Achievements

    Just looking through my game list and achievement points. I completed Blue Dragon (many moons ago). Probably spent 40+ hours on it and all I have to show for it is 30 achievement points:eek: I mean if you finish the game you should at least get a couple of hundred. The same with Eternal Sonata (120) and Perfect Dark Zero (95).

    Anybody else come across any other unforgiving achievement list?

    Guitar Hero 3. I've finished easy and medium, and I'm 8 songs from the end of hard.
    I've looked at the list of achievements in GH3, and some are ridiculous.

    I have just finished Medium on Guitar Hero 2, and I have more achievement points in that so far.

    FEAR. I got 40 lousy points for completing the game.

    I could have got ten or twenty more if I hadn't changed the difficulty level to easy by accident.

    Still less than 100 for completing a game is a rip off.

    Mind you it's easy to make up points on single player games like Bioshock.

    Id have to say Guitar Hero aswell. I hate really easy or really hard achievements and rather fun ones like Burnout Paradise and Crackdown.

    call of duty 4 mile high club on veteran! its the last 20g i need but i dont think il ever get it :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman


    Some of the achievements in Burnout Revenge are evil, especially getting perfect in all events (damn burning laps make that seem almost impossible to me)
    Burnout Paradise seems great in comparison (I'm playing the PS3 version, but that seems to have a list of similar rewards.) I've got 25/60 of them so far and I've barely been trying...

    Stick with it, and switch to the shotgun (the first, not in the toilet, has it).

    The Guitar Hero 3 achievements are hard, and pretty dumb tbh. Playing the career on Hard with a standard controller? Hard, and stupid.

    but to do it would be an "achievement", no?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,533 ✭✭✭Zonda999


    Some of the multiplayer achievements in gears of war are pretty big.Would prob take you a couple of years to get some of them

    Dead or Alive 4, 50/75/100 wins in about 4 different game modes. Some luck of the draw online achievments too.

    Guitar hero 3 is looking pretty hard too.

    not really,theonly hard one is "seriously" and that just involves playing a lot of ranked matches.

    id say the one where you have to get a 1 million career score is harder

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 504 ✭✭✭Loveless


    apparently finishing GH3 on the hardest setting is called 'Inhumane Achievement' :)

    No,finishing ttfatf on expert earns you the inhuman achievement.

    well sorry its 100 million you have to Earn 100,000,000 points total in Career.its called 100 Million!?! Gulp!?!

    Umm,are you sure you have the right game?
    Since when did you earn points in gears of war?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,285 ✭✭✭Smellyirishman


    He's talking about GH3, you're talking about GoW.
    While MHC in COD4 is hard, that's about the only challenging achivement and even then it's not overly difficulty.

    I agree with DOA4, although I didn't play much of it anyway.

    GH3 isn't great either. Completed all but one song on Hard and I've only got 200pts (done some other achievments too).

    Oblivion, got 1000 points but it took 130+ hours !!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,315 ✭✭✭A-Trak


    F.E.A.R. has the stingiest achievements ever.
    Some of them are ridiculously hard, there's very little motivation to go for them.

    This achievement though needs little motivation:)
    Again may be impossible to unlock.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,892 ✭✭✭evad_lhorg


    most of you are missing the point of this thread. just because a game requires 10000 kills before you get an achievement does not make it hard to get. its just playing the game normally.

    or finishing oblivion and doing the guilds is not hard, not at all, it just takes some time.

    finishing through the fire and the flames on expert in GH3 is hard. finishing call of duty 4 on the hardest setting, that is hard.

    The trick to this is to use just 1 bullet to hit each target. You get seconds taken off for being accurate.

    Bought a car from a dealer in the UK. When I went to collect the car he had already sent the V5 off to the DVLA instead of giving it to me. Rang the DVLA when I got back, told me to send them a V756 form and that it could take up to 8 weeks to sort out. Rang the dealer, said not to send any forms and leave it with him. V5 arrived in the post 3 days later
