Poll: Game that made you feel the most accomplished?

[Arkhangelsk]

Finally beating the second artifact hunt on Jak 3. I was like: "YEEEEEES! In your face, Jak 3!". The mission was one of the most frustrating ever. First off, you need to drive around in a desert looking for highlighted artifacts, with a small time limit on each. Fair enough. The desert is full of cliffs and annoying terrain. Well, it's supposed to be challenging. Wastelanders driving around, ramming you into the wrong direction, losing valuable seconds. That's where it got so frustrating I yelled at the game to stop being such a bastard. And get this, there were no checkpoints between any of them, and there were like 30 of them. It never ended. And by the end, the sandstorm was so large, that I couldn't see where I was driving. Only thing I could see was my car and the little mini map.

Perfecting Wind Waker. I got every god damn figurine for the Nintendo gallery. In fact, the first time I did it, I missed just one, that I could never get again. so I had to do the whole damn thing again. But I fucking did it.

you are a God amongst men, and I bow to your pictographing skills



and on topic, I found that viva pinata is quite accomplishing, I just have no idea why

 

[Mackinator]

Final Fantasy 7. I done everything, I had everything.

off topic but is viva pinata a good game then? I've been thinking about playing it but I want a game I can come back to.

There've certainly been many games that made me feel accomplished, of many genres. The last one I can think of is God Hand...on Easy mode, granted, but Normal became less a "fight for survival enemy to enemy" and more a "let the enemy kill me when the difficulty gets too high and my health is too low" sitation. I don't think Hard mode will make me feel accomplished, because I can't imagine it taking me less than half a year to do such a thing, and thus I'm likely to give up.

I have to say beating Devil May Cry 3 (Regular Edition) made me feel the most accomplished upon completion. It was so frustrating to get through it. There were some kind of issues with the difficulties so apparently Easy mode was really Hard? Difficult game.

Easy was Normal, Normal was Hard, Hard was the hitherto-unknown Very Hard. Only Dante Must Die and Heaven or Hell were unchanged.

I will feel really accomplished as soon as I finish Dante Must Die. Finishing the last battle is just in my reach, as soon as I find a way to damage that SOB faster than he regenerates during the "go nuts" phases he has at around 1/4 health.

I hear so many different variations on how the modes work >< At any rate.. for the longest time I got stuck on the battle with Vergil on mission 7 I think? When I finally went back to it and got past that... I felt so silly having not being able to beat it.

Yep. That "how the heck was I stuck on this?!" has happened to me, before, even in that game. Sadly, it didn't apply to the Damned Chessboard in mission 18. Still, I refuse to feel any less accomplished for having to cheat my way past that; specifically, unlocking everything with a cheat and using Super Dante form (unlimited magic) and permanent Quicksilver. After doing that, I realized there was absolutely no way I could win that fight unless I became as good as <url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGoOFYXShbA&feature=PlayList&p=8335149A0D8952B0&index=29>this guy...though in retrospect, he has a pretty obvious strategy.

ANY RPG, from final fantasy, Fallout, KOTOR, mass effect and yes,
even Kingdom hearts.

 

[RheynbowDash]

Mirror's Edge, or Assassin's Creed

I felt like i needed a vacation after I beat those.

it is very addictive, in its own special way. I would go straight onto the second one (trouble in paradise), you could probably get it second hand or something for quite cheap

Dragon Quest 8, about 60% of the total game. Eighty. Fucking. Hours.

 

[KissofKetchup]

After a nice campaign of Left 4 Dead, I feel pretty accomplished

 

[xHipaboo420x]

This may not seem like the most obvious example (and I'm sure I could think of a more profound one if I tried), but nailing every jump or stunt, and avoiding every obstacle first time during the jetboat sequence of Half Life 2 was a pretty fulfilling moment for me. Felt like a proper action hero... ish.

I actually didn't have as much trouble with the chessboard... but Agni and Rudra kicked my butt...

Beating Myst. I have not played the others in the franchise but the first one was hard enough...

 

[Aerodynamic]

Ratchet and clank

 

[vejtornado]

Prince of Persia The Two Thrones. Completed on all difficulties within 5 days

Beating sephiroth on proud mode in KH2 was VERY satisfying.
His reaction command attack is pretty much a 1 hit K.O. even at Lvl. 99.
Okay, I guess I could just press triangle when he does it.
He's impervious to magic of any kind.
Well, I should probably be healing myself anyways.
He has a fire attack that sucks you in and pretty much pwns you.
umm...
He can jump in the air and take out all but 1hp and all your magic.
Hey! Thats not-
You'll probably need every growth attack just to beat him, and ultima weapon.
Okay, thats ju-
He has 15 bars of health! =3

Now I remember it too. I figured it was all about getting through fast and doing the jump-spin shoot thing a lot. Then avoiding the drop ships. Was one time when I were almost two feet away from the checkpoint and then died. Made me so mad I almost screamed it out in a loud echo.

Garry's Mod. Building a deathtrap asteroid field where all of the asteroids are actually exploding space mines in spacebuild and then telling people to come try and attack the capital ship I have hiding there. It's fucking funny, especially when you use it on the nubs who make ships from SBMP models.
