What was your greatest gaming achievement of 2008?

[Ongaru]

considering how bad i am usually at MMOs, i'd say getting to level 70 in World of Warcraft would be an achievement, never got the latest expansion and never plan to.

apart from that i'd say finally being able to play more than just the heavy in Team Fortress 2

 

[Madshaw]

i beat my little brother's wood elves and a freinds ogres almost single handedly in a doubles game of warhammer, my best mates dark elves didn't do too much and my vampire lord took down a slave giant and the ogre tyrant, but not both at the same time

TF2, rocket launcher aiming to make me jump, blew up a engineer while he was deploying a turret.

 

[MrGFunk]

Burnout Paradise: Elite license 101%.

Could get 102% but it's hard to find serious people to complete the challenges with.

iron man-ed unreal gold in unreal difficulty.

For those who don't know , you play the iron man mode if you start a game refusing yourself any second chances , for the adrenaline, if you die you die.
Most of the time you'll die and spend the rest of your "afterlife" (day) cursing at how stupidly you died so close to the end.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

managing to put up with the cruddy battle system of Lost Odyssey long enough to see all of the dream sequences. still haven't beaten the game though.

 

[VaioStreams]

That's a really good question....and to be honest with you. I have no idea. Nothing really stands out in my mind then again, to much happened. give me a second..........it's all a big blur. sorry

 

[.Ricks.]

Slapping my friend in LBP right after he finally lands a jump after almost 15 mins of trying making him fall, die, and redo everything again.... yup.... i'm a bastard....

Other than that, in resistance 2 various grenade kills in which I see an enemy running towards a bridge I drop the grenade on the exit of it and he comes out to get blown apart... I just love those guess/luck kills.

By the way, sorry to be offtopic but there was an escapist Resistance 2 clan discussion a while back... whatever happened to it?

Another one joins the ranks of the GOOD gamers! (though I still play on my PS2, mainly because my guitar hero controller fits into a PS2 controller port instead of a USB, as I expected it to)

I used to believe that the computer was the ultimate gaming machine, but as my computer falls farther and farther behind the specifications curve (and lacking the cash flow or expertise to upgrade it), I've come to see the appeal of a dedicated gaming machine (that can be played with friends in the game room.)

I don't really accomplish much - one of my favorite moments was in Halo 3 - sniping an opponent who was in the act of teabagging. I can't begin to tell you how satisfying that is.

oh man I thought you said THE computer is falling behind the spec curve, I was bout to say don't start a console vs. PC war Lol

 

[Sennz0r]

I finished the N+ campaign on XBox Arcade. Really proud of that one.

...now there's a whole ton of DLC content to play through.

 

[SomeBritishDude]

I accomplished it yesterday. I got 84 points in one round with the Engineer in TF2. I look at my personal score, and Engineer is way up, make it look I bairly ever play with the other classes, even though I also have 32 with the Pyro.

 

[BlackIronGuardian]

Faced off a guy with a shotgun in Halo, managed to score a flag kill.

Oh, good heavens, no. I've seen what a high-quality computer can do, and Bioshock on full graphics on a PC (my roommate's computer) is a thing of beauty. Unfortunately, his computer also draws more power than a full-size refrigerator, produces more heat than the radiator, and routinely has to have its motherboard replaced.

 

[Sackwak]

Getting over 100 trophies.
I would be bragging about getting the CoD:WaW Platinum trophie but Veteran mode is fucking impossible. After Vandetta it's just Grenade rape all the way

 

[Xpwn3ntial]

Unfreakingbelievable in Halo 3 in less than five minutes. I got a killionaire, kilimanjaro, and scattered kills in between.

 

[NeedAUserName]

Played Oblivion for 4 days straight. No sleep at all. I got a lot of money for it.

Thats either incredibly depressing, or incredibly cool. If only I could figure out which. Oh, and why did you get paid?!?

 

[Duck Sandwich]

Super Smash Bros Brawl: Beating Boss Battles Mode on Intense with every character. Not too impressive, but then again, I haven't been playing much Devil May Cry 3.

EDIT: Before this year is done, the above feat will be replaced with: "beating Ninja Gaiden (NES)."

 

[RebelRising]

Getting a PS3 and littlebigplanet. Now that i own all 3 next gen consoles, i can agree that all consoles are great, and i can make fanboys shut up.

We already had Yahtzee for that, but all the same, amen man. They have their strengths. They're all good in their own way.
