That Achievement (or Trophy... I guess) that's nagging at you.

[WIUtomato]

So, I was just playing a spot of RDR, and was sinking a lot of money into Liar's dice in an attempt to win a game without losing a die. I was hunting after the "No Dice" achievement to no avail, and it got me thinking, are there any other achievements (or Trophies, I guess, does anyone actually notice those?) that you've been lusting after, but have eluded you? Here is my list, and some justification as available:

No Dice (RDR): see above

Parachute Climber (Just Cause 2): Just can't quite seem to get this one

Price of War, Queen Takes Rook, Off the Grid (MW2) I'm stuck fleeing that damned house from Estate on Veteran... any suggestions?

Mile High Club, Deep and Hard, The Shot, The Third Horseman, The Ultimatum, and The Fourth Horseman (CODMW): Again, getting overwhelmed by enemies after taking the shot with the Barrets in All Guillied Up.

9 Irony (Bioshock 2): I wouldn't say this one is really bothering me so much as I keep meaning to go back and do it, but that'd mean starting over and I haven't even gotten around to finishing one play through so... yeah.

I'm sure there are more, but those are the ones that come most easily to my mind, what about you?

Any of the collectible achievements in either Crackdowns are just sitting there. Crackdown 2 is a lot easier for collecting, thanks to the helicopter and orb ping, but Crackdown 1's achievements have been filed under impossible for myself.

The only one I can think of is the Keystone Jackpot one from Fable 2: Pub Games. it's annoying because it needs luck, not a hint of skill.

Also, the Braid achievement for beating the game in X time and the Limbo achievement for beating the game with 5 or less deaths.

 

[Lord Mountbatten Reborn]

I won a game of Liar's dice without losing a die. I didn't get the achievement. This is exactly what happened with Little Rocket Man. Grr.

 

[Cherry Cola]

Got No Dice on my very first game of Liar's Dice.

Parachute climber isn't that hard. Just go to the nearest mountain, and go around it in circles, gradually going further and further up

I got stumped by those Golden Freefight Challenge trophies in Arkham Asylum.

Mainly just anything other than 100,000 points on Geometry Wars 1. I've not even been able to hit 250,000 even including dying yet. God that's a hard game.

Luxor Quest 2 is also just rather tedious, I know I'll eventually nail the achievements, but it's taking ages to finish it, since all the skill based ones I've already got.

 

[Treeinthewoods]

I just started playing Mass Effect 2 on Insanity as a Vanguard. I made it past Mordin and Garrus's loyalty mission but I know soon I will have to go to investigate the colony and will most likely be slain by Scions before I can think. I will probably have to start over as an Engineer or an Infiltrator.

Side note - Was the Vanguard's rush power designed to cause either high speed suicides or bizarre glitches? I've gotten trapped off the map a few times and had to reset. When there's no glitch all I have to do is use it and I can guarantee I will be dead shortly.

 

[Like mah self]

that charger one where you have to change them all. someday...

A good way to do that is to get them all as they're leaving the elevator in the cornfeild of hard rain.
