I attempted it roughly around 230 times and finally got it, by far the most anouying achievement i have ever gotten

Spydiggity4990d ago

i've definitely had to do far more annoying achievements...this one was just plain fun. first, you get a checkpoint right before jumping off the cliff (though it is right at the beginning of the level anyway) and if it took you 230 tries, you've got a gimpy controller (or gimpy reaction time). took me about 5 tries. i can see why it might take up to 20 or 30. but 230 times? c'mon.

MerkinMax4990d ago

Stop sprinting before you land on the Elite.

SeNiLe9114990d ago

The second sitting I got it in a little over 16 minutes, but not before assassinating the Elite at least 10 times with no achievement. As "sltPoison" said, the key was to stop sprinting before you land on the Elite.

You hit the Left Bumper to stop sprinting, hold the right Bumper to assassinate, achievement unlocked.

It would have been a better experience for all if they didn't doc you for still sprinting while executing the assassination.

Imperator4990d ago

I honestly didn't have much trouble with this one. Did it on my first try and every time I play the mission I always get the kill. It's pretty fun imo. Just falling down on an unsuspecting Elite and stabbing it in the back.

ASSASSYN 36o4990d ago

A stab would not net you the achievement. Only a stomp. And what is your gamertag?

Imperator4990d ago

Yea, I know. I sent you a PM with my Gamertag.

xAlmostPro4989d ago

@assassyn yet the article states he finally got it with a stab :/..

cayal4990d ago

I don't get it, why didn't the first one (on the youtube video) get the achievement?

AwakenTheTaco4990d ago

you need to deactivate the sprint before you hit about half way through the jump or it wont count.

StanLee4989d ago

That's not exactly true, I've seen people get it without ever deactivating the sprint button. I've seen people get it by first landing on the ground and then assassinating the Elite. This is the definition of a glitched achievement. There is no right or wrong way to do it. It's just luck.

gamingdroid4990d ago

It took me about 20 tries. It's a little tricky because you will get an assasination sometimes, but it isn't the correct one for some reason. I managed multiple times, but there was one that gave me a slightly different animation than the stomp that gave me the achievement.

On top of that, I have managed to fall down, but not die after landing on the Elite and the Elite was still alive.

It's actually a pretty cool achievement.

RockmanII74990d ago (Edited 4990d ago )

I got it on my second try :P

That said, my friend was trying for like 10 minutes straight the other day and couldn't get it, and eventually gave up. Bungie should make a patch where if you jump off the cliff and get an assassination, you should get the achievement.

NewZealander4990d ago

took me about 12 tries, i agree it was a crappy achievement, i even told my friend to bring over his HDD because he was getting frustrated with it, probably took about the same amount of tries to get it for him, its just about timing, be patient and you will get it easy.

antz11044989d ago

LOL great article, I'm going to try it when i get home today.

ASSASSYN 36o4990d ago

I got this achievement after 3 tries. When you jump off the cliff you need to melee immediately to unlock your jump pose. Then (if the elite stands still) melee the elite in the back and hold the melee button. If you succeed you will see and eagle stomp. Most my friends are struggling for this achievement.

ASSASSYN 36o4990d ago (Edited 4990d ago )

You can't get the achievement if you land and kill the elite.

xAlmostPro4989d ago

you can..thats how the author finally got his?

PandaJenkins4990d ago

My friend got it, he is bloody insane at that game.

How'd fallout not make the list. Atleast over cyberpunk, tales , and halo. Fallout been around since what 96 98 and has 5 6 games into it. It's full of lore when you play it. I'd even add star ocean to a point.

robtion522d ago

Agree Fallout should be on there.

MadLad522d ago

And somehow Planescape Torment doesn't even make the list.

Crows90522d ago

Hollow knight surpasses these.

shinoff2183522d ago

In lore? I must be missing something

Crows90522d ago (Edited 522d ago )

Yes in lore. Easily missed... absolutely. Never played a game that had me loving the world and lore behind it as much as that one. Most of course wouldn't be able to experience it since it is a more difficult game.

DarXyde521d ago

I can't speak for all titles on this list, but by the time you get to Dark Souls III, the lore is a bloody tapestry of intricacy

Crows90521d ago

Played them all. Im not saying the games on the list dont have good lore...I just think hollow knight had more lore that is hidden but present and more easily explored and accessed. The souls games have tremendous lore but theyre mostly hidden and stay that way unless you look for it and research it. The lore is not very accessible.

DarXyde521d ago

Crows90,

I think that's a somewhat fair assessment. For me, the Souls games are less upfront about the lore, but it does invite your fascination through NPCs, items, locations, bosses, etc. There's this kind of natural progression where the picture becomes just clear enough by doing the essential tasks, but it really makes you want to explore every inch of the world.

TheColbertinator521d ago

Suikoden and Legend of Heroes also have massive lore setups.

agent13521d ago

narration is more important than lore i'd rather watch the story and characters in a more cinematic way instead of searching for notes and stuff that's why i love sony exclusive games like uncharted and gow and hate from software games

shinoff2183521d ago

The article was top ten lore in video games. I think they did a bad job picking games out. I know what you mean though. I just like a variety of games and genres.

Awesome news - so can we look forward to playing Halo: Infinite with no online issues circa 2033?

just_looken606d ago

"You can download the improved Reach AI mod at Mod DB" This was a mod 343 did nothing so the online will be fixed in our dreams.

SullysCigar606d ago

Par for the course with 343.

Profchaos606d ago

They did say they had a 10 year plan for infinite we just all assumed it would be DLC could of been a 10 year netcode rollout.

But seriously this is a mod the community won't be able to modify infinite in the same way

Cikatriz_ESP607d ago

Combat Evolved was the best campaign, and it's not even close.

just_looken606d ago

You should have tried this version of reach when it first came out remastered for a year there was no sound because 343 could not locate the sound files.

It was a special challenge.

badz149606d ago

more like the bunch at 343i are simply mentally challenged

ACEMANWISE606d ago

Well I guess 12 years is faster than most fixes. I guess this is a cheap way to "remaster" something nowadays.....by just fixing something that used to always be broken.

zidane1341606d ago

Did you even read the article? This is a mod to improve AI from back almost 2 gens ago. Nobody is claiming this is remastering anything. Yeesh.

Crows90606d ago

Halo is dead. Microsoft has other shooter franchises it cares more about now. 343 are no longer Xbox golden studio. They are likely to shift things around or even close it all together and give the IP to someone else.

343i decided to pummel the IP into the ground...and when they see it didn't quite look like Glenn's face they decided to just keep on pummeling. Not sure if Glenn is the IP or the fanbase in this case though.

Profchaos606d ago

343 were never the golden studio they were a hastily thrown together b team when bungie said we want to do something else cya

Crows90606d ago

Well ...I didn't want to say it but I agree. Makes you wonder why Microsoft gave them the IP and didn't keep Bungie or any of the talent they acquired from any studio.

CobraKai606d ago

“ Halo Infinite, Halo 3, or Halo: Combat Evolved. It’s hard to say which of the sci-fi FPS games offers the best experience all round.”
He lost me with Halo Infinite.
