Games you wanted to 100% but couldn't

[Kraj]

*the... the elder scrolls.... any of them... NO... NOOOOOOOOO!!!!*
being level 73 and still having a guild left to do which you can't figure out how to get into will be enough to send anyone shrieking through the Imperial City lighting everything that moves on FIRE.

i'm not even including the mods. oh god the mods.

 

[dommyuk]

Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts 2. Seriously through the games I have played, that guy is my mortal enemy.

Nah, he's quite easy, compared to some other bosses, guard is your friend.

I wanted to finish Outcast on 100% Story and 100% Side-quests, but because some of the side-quests were cut from the final game, the side-quest counter will go to about 80% maximum and the story exceeds 100%. >.> Though I did finish everything they left in 100%.

 

[Lord Mountbatten Reborn]

Assassin's Creed 2... The feathers. I have about 8 left to get. I'll do it someday!
I also need to play through Mass effect 2 on insanity at some point.

Mass Effect 2 on insanity makes you want to punch your screen.

One word though : Grunt. (Being that he has double the health of everyone essentially [after upgrades] he becomes a monster meat shield between the enemies and shepard.)

I find the new DLC character Kasumi to be a must-have. Her cloak ability is immensely useful.

 

[Harn]

Pokemon Red Version. I'll be damned if I didn't do my best to get my hands on all 150.

Think I was at 130-something before I wondered why in the hell I was bothering when my team consisted of level 100 legendaries...

 

[DarthLurtz]

Any game with multiplayer achievements, especially older ones like Far Cry 2, Saint's Row 2, and Red Faction: Guerrilla. I will probably never even step into multiplayer, much less play long enough to get those achievements.

Star Ocean: Till End of Time. The game has ridiculous achievements (trophies) if you didn't know what they were and when, the game required a minumim of 4 playthroughs to get them all. Considering even a single playthrough is a 100+ hour task... i gave up after 2 (a little over 100,000 battles), and even then I used save tricks (not cheats) to shorten it. In addition, the game has an achievement of beating the final boss on level 1 (F that!) and an achievement for winning 1,000,000 battles. (F that too!).

Diamond - I have five left. FIVE.

I had that same problem, the trick is either A) having friends who play Pokemon, or B) using a cheat device to get 100% pokedex completion then using the GTS to trade for the ones you didn't have. (and hope they're not re-freakin-diculous like most GTS trades... honestly a lv 4 caterpie wanting a lv 100 mew? just release it already if you wanted to get rid of it. geez! a great big F THAT!)

so, is there any game you really liked, but there was one side mission you couldn't do, or one orb you couldn't find?

for a while i couldn't 100% destroy all humans 2, that side mission where you protect the tower while pox calls home, in the end i just glitched it.

also, crackdown. stupid orbs...

so, how bout you?

I 100% DAH! 2. Took me a while though.

I wanted to 100% Crash Bandicoot: Warped, but, I never got around to it.

EDIT: And for that tower mission, did you use your saucer with the Quantum Deconstructor? It's waaay easier then. Just save that mission for last, like I did.

 

[2xDouble]

Banjo-Kazooie. Got to last level, fell a lot (taking a glug of beer after each death), and just went on to kill grunty. unfortunately, same thing happened in the sequel. maybe i should stop drinking during final levels...

everybody knows beer gives +5 to gaming skills, but only if you're old enough. if you're too young it gives -100. its a proven fact (don't ask me how).

 

[Dilapsor]

My infamy stops me from 100%-ing oblivion

Try 100% morrowind yea no one can because it is so god damn big about 3x bigger than oblivien and it came before and you can fly

If you have the "Knights of the Nine" expansion, you can complete the Pilgrimage quest to reset your Infamy to 0.

Vvardenfell is actually smaller than Tamriel, but the way the map is laid out geographically and coupled with the INSANELY SLOW walking speed makes it seem larger. Including the Shivering Isles, Oblivion has much more landmass.

 

[TheSkaAssassin]

GTA San Andreas and Just Cause

 

[Demons_Bane]

pokemon crystal- I was younger and I was told that i could 'catch them all' its harder than they say.

 

[Johnny Cain]

I'd really like to 100% Mercenaries 2 sometime. Freaking love that game.

Same goes for Just Cause 2, but my god some items are so obscurely hidden it'd drive OCD kleptomaniacs to surrender.

 

[gigastrike]

Banjo-Tooie: stupid Canary Mary button mash sequences.

Metroid Fusion: I know where every remaining upgrade is, but I swear they're impossible to reach (unless there's a secret feature to the dash attack that no one told me).

Indeed, I'd go as far as to say she's OP.

 

[Chancie]

Drakengard.

Flipping. giant. man. eating. babies.

I hate those things!

 

[Kelbear]

Batman: Arkham Asylum.

I had one trophy left! ONE TROPHY DANGIT! Get all gold medals on freeflow combat challenges...

So hard...

Watch this video, as long as you stick to what they're doing in the video you should have no problem.

 

[DividedUnity]

Ummmm Killzone 2. The last boss on elite....

MY LIFE HAS MEANING AGAIN!

Can I have your babies?

Pleeeease.

Haha I've seen the Vvardenfell vs. Cyrodill argument so many times it's not even funny, and still no one can accept the simple fact that Cyrodill is clearly bigger. The character only runs at mach 3 and can do it on almost any slope, so it certainly feels smaller...but it simply isn't. I don't think even adding Solstheim and Mournhold to the mix tip it in Vvardenfell's favor.

Anyway, on topic, I tried very hard to 100% GTA4, but I hate the ridiculous seagull hunting. Hidden packages stymied me in GTA 3 as well.

Only game I have 100% complete on 360 is Oblivion, mainly because the achievements were super-easy to obtain for anyone who did every faction quest. A couple of skill-based ones couldn't have hurt, could it?

I'm only 5 achievements away from 100% on Fallout 3 (this includes all DLC), but I just haven't worked up the interest in playing long enough to cap them all, and I easily could...
