TheForgetfulBrain Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 First off, let me clarify, I don't mean in the sense of PSN Trophies, or Steam or Xbox Achievements (although, if there are any of those you're particularly proud of, that fits). Basically, this is for any gaming moments you are particularly proud of that you want to share with the world. For example, I've just had one. I've been playing the F2P (or pay like $15 for three months if you're serious about it, which I eventually did) browser based Might and Magic game that launched last fall. It's not a Facebook game (although it gives you options to post about stuff you did in the game, on Facebook, but you aren't rewarded for it), and it doesn't have real time combat either. It's more like the text based strategy games of the internet days of old, where you make a bunch of actions, attack other kingdoms, etc, only this game is illustrated with four tiers of an isometric map, so that you can actually see what you're doing. Anyway, the game has multiple servers, and it's also split up into 'seasons,' where each season has a specific objective that all the alliances on the server are striving toward - and the one alliance that gets that, wins. tl;dr? Our alliance managed to win the season, hurrah! I've never been in the top alliance/guild for any sort of of persistent online game before, so it was pretty cool, and I ended up pretty high in the rankings. We also get a ton of bonuses going into Season 2 - you can see my 'win' screen below (Carrot is one of the gaming names I use): So what are some of your folks biggest personal gaming achievements and moments? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoStarr Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Sin and Punishment 2 (Canada). This was a while ago though; no idea where I stand now. Note the awesomeness of Wii Zapper controls. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mal Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I was in fifth place or something like that in Scott Pilgrim for a week or two by playing that game to Hell and back. Apparently some folks played that game all the way to meet Satan and back, so... I stopped playing. Now I think I went down like a rock. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I was top of the leaderboard for Castles Made of Sand on expert drums in Rock Band 3 because I was the only person to 100% FC it. Not really much of an accomplishment because I bet it was only for RB3 and on that particular system...and I bet people had achieved it before...and now other people are up there with the same score too... Go, me! Although, I am in the top 300 for a lot of songs on expert drums. In some cases, the top 100 (probably less popular DLC). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiffany Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 For a while I was number 17 on the leaderboard for "...And Justice for All" by Metallica in Rock Band 2 on expert drums. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akuam4n Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Back when KZ2 first came out, I was in the top 100. Obviously I'm not anymore, but I don't even play, and I'm pretty sure I'm still in the top 10%. Fuck yeah. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrainHurtBoy...2 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 I have a 3/0 K/D in Modern Warfare 2... my secret shame. Other than that... I beat Battletoads? I was the best at MvC2 in my arcade in Mongkok when I lived in Hong Kong, and 3rd best at Third Strike, and everyone was pretty god-damned serious there. I got VERY good at Resistance: Retribution after a while... not sure if it means anything, though. I'm honestly pretty bad at most games other than fighting games. I love them, though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadiantViper Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) I remember way back I used to play Metroid Zero Mission a ton, I tried to speed run it and I think I beat it in like, 56 minutes or something. Which is nothing special but I thought it was neat. The highest I've ever been on a leaderboard was for the DTR: Retribution DLC ... but that's cause about 400 people had it I was 4th, I believe. I was also relatively high (like top 100-300) for the leaderboards in a bunch of the GTA4: Ballad of Gay Tony missions. And those had a fair amount of people. I think there's more stuff but I have a terrible memory >.< Edited February 7, 2011 by RadiantViper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheForgetfulBrain Posted February 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Honestly I can't think of anything. Think harder! Squeeze that brain! You can do it! Or you could leave now with the personal goal of doing something personally awesome to label as a personal gaming achievement. Go forth now and return knighted with wreaths of digital glory!

deanb Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 This count? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercurial Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) Not really? Highest I've been was 34-4 or something like that. I know it was 4 deaths for a fact, but I can't remember kills and it was around 30. Edited February 7, 2011 by Hakidia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheForgetfulBrain Posted February 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) This count? Very nice! Rep for you, sir! Is that the KZ3 Beta? Are you in game right now? If so you should go gloat at Sindo, who has been trying to get into a match for hours. I'm hoping to get in tonight, after work. Not really? Highest I've been was 34-4 or something like that. The way I worded the thread, was anything you're personally proud of, so if Dean's proud of that, it counts.

Mercurial Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) What is Sindo's PSN? I want to bother him with at the fact that I am ingame. If you put it that way then I am kind of proud of buying this sign except in green. Edited February 7, 2011 by Hakidia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredEffinChopin Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 The one the comes to mind first is having once held 40th on the Super Stardust HD leaderboards. It really was a pretty crazy score, but I think I've been bumped up to around 100th by now. Also since I started playing Rock Band last June (yes, I know I came in stupid late) I've made myself proud many times over. I guess if I had to actually name a couple I'd say: Snagging the platinum trophy in one month flat (I know it's a trophy, but I got it really fast....), and managing to join the pretty exclusive (I think around 200 on PS3) club of people who earned gold stars on Everlong expert drums. I've got a bunch of 1st places in RB3, but there are far less users so far so I guess it's not really fair to brag about. And I'm sorry, one more actual trophy: Mirror's Edge platinum. One of the most frustrating things I've ever done in my gaming career. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akuam4n Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 (edited) I was so excited at the time. I capped 300 once, although it was a long game. I think I've barely scratched 200 on a normal game, with the normal time limits. Our team pretty much raped theirs though; so it's not too glorious.

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 I've never been on top of weekly leaderboards or anything like that (from what I remember) but I was particularly adept at Resistance 1 for a while and I was certainly on top of the board for most games whenever I played. That's the only competitive stuff I can think of. I 100%'d GTA3 and VC back in the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
