Biggest "OMG I WON" Accomplishment in a Game?

[AngloDoom]

Creating a full "Zombie Zoo" in Left 4 Dead with a friend of mine. It took both Bill and Zoey to create the trap, with Louis acting as bait. I was Francis, my job to shut the door. We basically got Louis (my friend) vomited on, I helped quickly guide him back to the safehouse, and we locked him in with the zombies. After that worked, we realised to try something much more ambitious.

So, several hours later, a Witch, Tank, and Hunter are raving in the Saferoom with a rather large amount of regular cannon-fodder. The Smoker and Boomer were all we needed, and neither seemed to appear. Everyone was dead besides me, and as such I was fearing going for exploration, but I had to. Sure enough, the moment I stepped away from the Saferoom full of zombies, a Smoker catches me and ends the game.

It was still an achievement, I believe.

Beating Megaman 2, possessed Riku and Sephiroth from Kingdom Hearts, Riku replica battle 3 and 4 from Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories (and Re:Chain of Memories), and Sephiroth again in Kingdom Hearts II. Also, Sho Minamimoto from The World Ends With You.

Mine is probably finishing Assassin's Creed 2's achievements. It is my first game (besides Lego Indiana Jones) that I got the full 1000 gamerscore in.

 

[Anticitizen_Two]

I felt really good when I defeated Lavos, but that was only yesterday, so it might just be fresh in my memory.

 

[Robert632]

Boost guardian in Metroid prime 2. Not the end boss, but certainly the hardest boss, through it being broken and all.

 

[AlchemistMayCry]

Beating the Bloody Palace in Devil May Cry 4 and getting S ranks on all difficulties. The former is 101 levels of increasingly insane fights culminating in a Dante Must Die duel to the death with Dante himself. And all I get is a lousy achievement. *sigh*

Kingdom Hearts 2 was a pain in the ass on Proud Mode. The light cycle and series of final battles were pure pain and collectively took several hours. By the story's end I was not only weeping for the narrative's climax, but because that much effort had just drained the life force from me @_@

For ingame stuff, getting most of the ultimate weapons in FFX was a great test of wills. I don't know what's worse, 4 hours of chocobo racing or 7+ hours of blitzball! >.<

Shadow Hearts also has an evil mini game, where to get Yuri's ultimate weapon you need to be successful at a spin ring 10. That took about 1.5 hours to finally get right. Meanwhile, they did it in the sequel and I got it on my second try.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

I got OMGWTFBBQ and The Man From P.U.N.T.U.R.E. in TF2 fairly.

Oh ya.

 

[Haro]

This is a toughie. I'd say my number one moment was beating gears of war 1 on insane without coop. That... was hard. Raam alone took a LOT of tries, let alone other parts of that game.

A close second is beating CoD: MW on Veteren, culminating in Mile High club. Beating MW2 on veteren was a paltry achievement compared to THAT.

 

[quiet_samurai]

In HL 2 e2 whwn you send that dwarf into space, it's actually more like an achievement than an accomplishment in a game but I really felt proud over it.

Dude, I'm feeling ya. Carrying that little shit around for hours is a chore all in itself.

 

[Lonan]

Finishing Command and Conquer: Renegade on the easiest difficulty. I was 10 or so.

 

[Will Stolton]

Mirror's Edge Jacknife speedrun. Took me hours cause i kept messing up the bit where you first get into the stormdrains and finishing about 5 seconds too slow

 

[sonicmaster1989]

Mile High Club in COD 4 on veteran. Hells to the yeah.

 

[bryanfuel]

fallout 3 just because the shear time it took me to beat it (100+ hrs) even though the ending wasnt the best

 

[effilctar]

I'm most proud of achievements or challenges that are pure chance. Like Martyrdon in MW2: Kill an enemy cooking a grenade. I was pretty chuffed getting ACR master, along with Fall camoflauge. I was planning on doing the same with AK 47 before my first prestige but my brother, who is an impatient prick, didn't feel like "wasting" EXP all for the sake of me getting a title, so he just prestiged for me while he was off school. I still hold it against him because I pay for the Xbox Live and the game, so he technically has no right to choose what I do with my game. I mean I'm a good brother already, I split the custom classes with him 50/50.

 

[MicrosoftPaysMe]

Henry Hatsworth on hard. The final boss is pretty rough.

It's too bad no1 knows about that awesome game.
Getting the "Dig" acheivment in Dig Dug. took me weeks but I finally dug through an entire level

 

[Chamale]

Pokémon Blue was the first video game I beat, and it was pretty epic. My only surviving Pokémon going into the last fight were a Haunter with very little HP, and a Gyarados. That Gyarados was my favourite Pokémon. The Haunter used Explosion on turn 1, and then Gyarados just took down all 6 Pokémon more or less by itself - despite being about the same level.

I recently beat Dead Rising, after getting past the glitched boss fight with Isabella. The whole game was very easy after fighting Isabella, except for the final boss fight.

In Infinity Mode, I had an "OMG I WON!" moment after getting "7 Day Survivor". It was my first time in Infinity Mode, and I was determined to last 5 days without using a walkthrough or location list. After 4 days I thought I couldn't make it, because I found out that my plan of blending ketchup into drinks wouldn't work. But I got some lucky drops from psychopaths and made it 7 days, 8 hours. Remember, my goal was 5 days without a walkthrough, so this was a big deal.

And of course, in Fallout 3 Vanilla I had an "OMG I WON, what a terrible ending" moment, just like everyone else.

After our OT dc'ed and died on 25 man Kel'Thuzad, and I picked up all the Guardians of Icecrown on my own- something that I shouldn't have really been able to do. The raid leader was just a little scared of me after the fight, I think.

 

[The Heik]

I searchbar checked this and there hasn't been a thread on this since around June of last year.

So, I just finished insanity Mass Effect 2 and was semi-impressed at the difficulty, but not overwhelmed.

I was thinking about games that were "hard" and thinking of all the ones that I really felt I accomplished something in and was proud of. Throwing out all the MMO raids in EQ and WoW, which are multi-player accomplishments, I was trying to think of what games I beat or levels I beat and actually felt like I had accomplished something.

I tried to throw out all the games that make themselves "hard" by confusing the term with "completely random" and "stupidly cheap..." like ... err... fighting games (you all remember the old days of Mortal Kombat 2 when you would input a move and the computer, knowing what command you were giving, would instantly counter it. That's cheap, not "hard.").

I always come back to one moment and that was beating the "Infinity Dungeon" in Tobal No. 1 on the PS1.

What other ones come to mind?

The slums mission in Jak 2 where you have to fight off waves of baddies trying to escape the hellhole. I beat this the hard way, and only learned that you could use the hoverboard to avoid them all. RIGHT. AFTER. BEATING. IT.

The F bomb was surprisingly strong that moment. It actually buckled the windows.
