5 epic video-game challenges you must try

Tired of just beating the game like everybody else? Here's five ways in five games to make things slightly insane, far more interesting, and entirely glorious.

[Sadie2100]

I still can't decide whether that Dead Rising 1 achievement was worth the time I put into it. I'm proud to say I killed the 54,000 zombies. Not proud of the time away from my life it took to accomplish that.

[acemonkey]

the 7days survivor mode is harder....i believe that whats its called but most of that i got besides....zelda no swords

[Venjense]

You know the human beings don't live forever right?

[Perjoss]

Yes, that's why you should spend your time doing mostly what you love, if that 1 thing is gaining difficult video game achievements then dont let anyone stop you.

[RedDevils]

I be getting out of the house and play some sport, rather than stuck in the house like a no life playing games all days lol

[No FanS Land]

finish Zelda without ever upgrading your health bar, just 3 hearts for the whole game.

[snipes101]

@Reddevils...maybe on one of those days when you get out your house to "play some sport" you could swing by a school and take a class or two on basic grammar.

As for feeling regretful on that achievement...fuck it if you were gaming and you love gaming everyone who gives you that "no life" garbage can shove it.

[RedDevils]

@snipes101 oh did I hurt your feeling, I know the truth hurt :)

[SybaRat]

Ocarina without swords? Seriously?

[LoaMcLoa]

Number 6: Beat Silver Surfer

Knock yourself out

[Oldman100]

Beat WaW on veteran without getting killed by a grenade.

[nskrishna2]

Impossible.
The AI is so intelligent they chuck 4 grenades under your feet /s

[_Aarix_]

Even when there's no ai in sight

[snipes101]

I literally counted the grenades on my indicator once...got to 7 before I died. I hadn't counted them all.

[jthamind]

i've gotten 242 stars in SMG2, and i've survived a six star GTAIV wanted level without cheats. i haven't tried the others.

all of those on the list are easy mode compared to stuff like beating Ultimate Ninja 1 or 2 on NGS2 as Ryu.

[hay]

Challenge accepted.

[jthamind]

search for me on youtube if you need help on how to beat it, i've beaten Ultimate Ninja 1 a few hundred times and Ultimate Ninja 2 about 40 times (no exaggeration).

[DasTier]

Escaping 6 stars was disappointingly easy though, drive or even walk into the subway and BAM no one follows you as you run out the search zone...

[Elwenil]

Exactly. All you have to worry about is making it through the underground stations but it's not that big of a deal most of the time.

[HeavenlySnipes]

Demons Souls with only your fists. You are only allowed 5 deaths

[SybaRat]

That game fightens me not ever since I saw a speedrun that finished it in just over an hour.

[Blaine]

Uh... I've beaten Demon's Souls more times than I care to say, I got the platinum a loooong time ago, and I can beat it from scratch in about 5 hours... But even I'm not stupid enough to think I can beat it in an hour myself, or that just because someone out there can, that it's a game you shouldn't be frightened of!

Hell even the guy who beat it in an hour is probably still frightened of it--you have to be, otherwise if you let your guard down for one second you're dead.

[Iroquois_Pliskin]

Goodluck with that, cowboy. I wanna see somebody kill 2 maneaters with fists only!

[Slugg3r]

Gta4 one is actually pretty easy. Just gear up and go to hospital, start shooting and when the cops show up go to that long hallway and just keep your ass covered while shooting cops as they pop out of the cover. It's pretty much impossible to get out alive though.

[Undeadwolfy]

MGS4. Big Boss emblem. Currently doing that. Want the corpse face camo.

The Boss Extreme Difficulty (Hardest)
No kills
No alerts
No deaths
No recovery items
No special items
Complete under 4 hours

Wish me luck.

[Mickbelfast]

Insane emblem, it's because of his emblem alone I'm glad the game never got trophy support

[one2thr]

Killzone 2: Beat it on Elite (Warning General Raedec room, will give you hell)
WarHawk: Just trying to get the platinum trophy..... Thats all that need to be said

[Venjense]

Urgh! I'm still pissed about Killzone 2 on Elite.

If I knew Radec was going to be impossible I wouldn't have spent the effort making it to him.

[Dark_Overlord]

Radec's not impossible, just very hard :D

[Blaine]

Radec is not impossible. And besides, Radec himself is easy--it's his mobs you fight before him that are hard! I didn't know it was possible for the screen to go so dark without dying, I came so close a few times during that fight when I finally beat it... Fucking Rocket Launcher assholes!

[snipes101]

Im still bitter about that boss battle. I think the anger I experienced during that shaved a decade off of my life.

[MoreRPG]

yep beat Killzone 2 on Elite dificulty should be on that list how the hell can i kill two heavys when i have to revive my comrades every five second

[Hufandpuf]

The Mile High Club from COD4 on veteran is surprisingly easy. Once you get the enemy pattern and how to move it's not that bad. My first attempt took 1.5 hours, and the second time it took 15 minutes.

[Perjoss]

Half Life 2 Episode 2 'Little Rocket Man' achievement springs to mind.

[No FanS Land]

Finish FFIX at Level 1 or finish the game under 12hours.

[helghast102]

Final Fantasy XIII NCU (No Crystarium Usage)
It IS possible, give it a try if you need that extra push towards suicide

edit @ below
Dark Souls SL1 is very possible thanks to Lightning Weapons, I could finish it right now but Im leaving it as is so I can Darkwraith.
Using Iron Flesh will pretty much get you killed at such a low level anyway, especially if you're thinking about using it against Four Kings

[Blaine]

Dark Souls, beat the game without leveling up. (Wonder if it's still feasible now that Iron Flesh and the pyro glove have been nerfed...)

[Mickbelfast]

Dead space 2 on hardcore seems pretty hard, no checkpoints & you can only save 3 times.. Ain't attempted it yet & don't think I will.

Gta 6 stars isn't an impossible feet but the multiplayer trophies in gta4 are absolutely ridiculous. The trophy in red dead redemption where you have to keep the same horse for 20 missions was pretty frustrating & hard

[ainsz]

I got the RDR horse trophy by accident lol. And yes, the GTA multiplayer trophies are pathetic. Even achieving rank 10 is too much of a grind..

[Mickbelfast]

multiplayer trophy grinds should be banned lol.. off topic but just saying lol

[torchic]

wipEout HD/Fury: "Beat Zico" trophy & "Zone Zeus" trophy. those two trophies require absolute perfection. no luck. no cheats. just pure human perfection.
then there's the "Airbraker" trophy. and that's only a silver trophy. i still think that game's platinum trophy is by far the hardest platinum trophy currently available.

for me at least, the "Supersoldier" trophy on Crysis 2 is insanely difficult. beating the game on supersoldier requires so much patience it's unreal.
