Hardest game to get 1000/1000 on

I'm pretty sure GRAW would be the hardest. You had to be #1 on the leaderboards for online to get one of them.

Wasn't FEAR a checkpoint-based game?

People either say it is Cod 4 but it is NOT. In Veteran, you need tactics and play overly aggressive to beat the game's AI. Which was quite easy for some people.

Call of duty on Veteran is easy. Once people realize and learn its not about killing the AI but advancing ground you can walk right through it. IW fools people into thinking the objective is to kill the AI, but really its not

Devil May Cry 4 is a beast for achievements.

Well than you must be a master at that game. All the portal gold challenges....finding all those bugs in HL2....there is just so much crap in that game.

The bugs aren't that big of a deal. That's just a one-time run through with a guide. The Portal challenges are hard, but they're not hundreds of hours hard like some things mentioned in this thread.

I have more than 400 points. :)

My bad, I meant to say he just reset it every time he died.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the achievement. If you die, anywhere in the campaign, don't you have to start from the beginning again?

Read the thread; most people are talking about achievements that take a lot of time. Furthermore, being good at something is a function of time. How do you get good at a game? You play the hell out of it. What do you need to do that? A lot of time.

No, you are absolutely right my friend.

The only way around this is exiting to the dashboard the very moment you die. Otherwise you have to start the whole game over again.

[QUOTE="Palantas"]FEAR has that stupid "Beat theentire game without dying" achievement. It's unthinkable.XxTheFuryxX

My friend got the achievement on their first play through and they are of average skill, so it's easily doable with a lot of saving.

But then there is the achievement where you have beat the game using less than 500 rounds of ammunition. :| I can use over 500 rounds of ammuntion within the first half hour of the game depending on the shooter, and F.E.A.R. is one of those shooters.....

I wouldn't think the ammo one would be near as big of a deal as the not dying one. You can melee people in the game, so just do that. If you die, try again. With the no-dying achievement, you could be 10 hours into the game, and lost all that progress because of a simple mistake.

With Orange Box it is certainly time consuming, but the only really tough achievement is Aperture Science (Gold medal on all challenge levels). The vast majority of achievements you get by playing through the rest of the games fairly normally, and can all be done in a single playthrough of each (using 2 reloads - 1 for the tin can at the start of HL2, and the other on EP1 trying to get 1 bullet, but also defend the station without loss). Anyway I have 98/99 achievements on Orange Box, only missing Aperture Science. The rarest 1000/1000 I have is SBK08 - only about 250 people have completed it according to MGC - largely due to the challenges being really tough, and requiring a minimum of 12 complete seasons racing (win a season with every team). There are a few games that are damn near impossible to 1000, due to No. 1 in the world requirements. I think GRAW had a few, as did Quake and a few others. Some are possible through boosting, but over time the points required to reach no.1 just gets ridiculousAvenger1324

[QUOTE="firefox59"] Yeah, I just looked up the achievements. Holy crap. FF XI is probably #1 in terms of time but in difficulty its The Orange Box.firefox59

oh! and operation darkness, because it makes you play operation darkness

just saw your achievements. you play a lot of bad games to boost your score. why?teh_shogun

Ima guess it's because it's because he doesn't consult you before deciding what games to play.

The first fear is pretty hard i haven't played but the achievemetns seem really hard to get

I heard there was some game with an achievement to be number 1 in the world online, that would takes years to do.....

Pseudo 3.

I can't seem to get even ONE achievement on that thing. :x

I don't really keep up with the hardest games to get 1000 points on, but I remember that F.E.A.R is a nightmare. Caddy06_88

I've read every post of this thread. The TC's intention, as this thread started out, was about the difficulty of attaining 1000/1000 in a certain game, not about which one took the longest. Yes difficulty can relate to time depending of the player's skill level, but attaining level 75 twelve times like if FF XI has nothing to do with difficulty. If you know how to solve the challenges in portal it takes no time at all. Its just that WITHOUT a guide that game's challenges are quite tough.firefox59

I don't really give a crap what the thread creator's intentions are, or how you divined them, just what people are actually posting. And I want to make sure I'm clear on what you're saying here: Projects that take years to complete are not difficult.

Happened to me halfway through once. Then I opt to the "turn off the system quick before dying method" and it worked.RoslindaleOne

Ooo, I make give this a try. How much time do you have before you're all the way dead?

graw 1 you need to be first in the world leader bored for multiplayer to get like 10g

Its gotta be Fight NIght Round 4 the online achievements for winning the belt in every division is crazy! The current champs are literally extorting people with MS points just to get the achievements.JUSTBLAZE_928

Sounds like real boxing lol but with money

full games then prob : Star Ocean The Last Hope, Eternal Sonata or Sacred 2 Fallen Angel, all have some pretty ridiculous achievements

then as far as arcade games go, Trials HD has an insane achievement that requires you to complete all the levels in the game in one go without stopping and without falling off ever, its practically impossible

Perfect Dark Zero; I dare you to find anyone who's actually earned more than 400 points in that game.UT_Wrestler

You can do all teh multiplayer achievments with bots, so thats not too bad, personalyassassins creed flag searching,I just cant be bothered.

Need For Speed Carbon. It's a living hell.

I have a measly 50 pts on Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, after about 15 hrs of play. But then again, maybe I just suck at strategy games...

NlKO

That game's stingy with achievements.

Terminator Salvation

[QUOTE="Darkslayer16"]

It's Final Fantasy XI.. no one has a legit 1250G in it.

It's not hard, just time consuming.

There's a difference.

Not many games are hard to get 1000/1000 in, because most achievements aren't hard.

GRAW, you have to get to the top of the global leaderboard...

All this came out of the fact that you said The Orange Box is super hard, and when other people told you it wasn't, you decided to start nitpicking everything they (and everyone else) said. The exact same thing happened to me in this thread (FEAR), and instead of starting an off-topic argument, I just dealt with it.

Anyway, I'm not going to argue with you further until you answer this:

Read the topic title, it asks which game is the hardest to get 1000/1000 in, not which game takes the most skill to get 1000/1000 in.white_sox

You should be nitpicking the phrasing of "Hardest game to get" rather than "difficult." Or better yet, you could just drop the whole thing.

Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth II. Not because the game is difficult, but because it's friggin' boring.

I heard that Chromehounds will take you around 900 hours and you have to find a good team.. Yeah relying on others to get achievements is a great thing..
