Achievement Hunters and Completionists Thread

[Mick]

I got two more achievements in fallout 4 this week so i only need 12 more to 100% completion. The two i got were "All sugared up" and "Prankster's return" (after abt 5 mins of trying to put a grenade in a robots pockets only to realize i needed a perk to do it then another 30 mins of leveling up)

Hey, nice! I'm currently also slowly working towards 100% on that game. I need 14 more right now, 9 of them in the Nuka World DLC (only just started that). I can definitely relate to some of the achievements taking longer than I would like them to... D:

Yeah most of mine are nuka world too some more difficult than others.

I had a very brief look at the eyes on the prize achievement and yeah, it is not one I am looking forward to.
For when you do start trying: I saw people online talking about using the shooting gallery to earn all those tickets but I found the hoop shot game to be much faster (up to 1500 tickets per minute) and also less effort:

Spoiler: peak gameplay

Thankfully the achievement will then only take... about 1.5 hours of spamming the crouch button.

Yeah I've got abt 30,000 from that method but my fingers started to hurt so I decided to take a break and work on other achievements and get back to it. Definitely better than the shooting gallery tho.

Not that great of an achivement in comparison to some harder games out there, but recently I completely 100% super mario odyssey!! I'm super happy about it since it's one of the games I started during the academic year and the fact that I was able to commit to something besides studying is absolutely amazing to me, genuinely over the moon about it

Ooh, that was a fun one to 100%! I remember doing that back quite a few years ago (I did use the help of some amiibo, but I don't consider that to be cheating, I mean, it's a feature in the game!)

I'm currently working on Animal Crossing: New Horizons. I said I would 100% it when I first got it, and I've been slowly working on that since release day. My plan for 100% completion is a full catalogue, every villager photo, every poster unlocked and ordered at least once, every DIY unlocked and crafted, every Nook Miles achievement completed, and every house in HHP completed. I'd say I'm about 50% of the way there - the photos is the most daunting task right now!

I'm not a full completionist but I'm super close to 100% achievements for New Vegas on steam. The achievements I need though have to do with playing caravan which is a card game (might be made up for the game) and Jesus is it difficult. I cannot learn how to play this game no matter how hard I try.

I also am doing all of the new "beginner" achievements for Guild Wars 2. they just released a huge new set of achieves and idk if they grant anything but I just like doin em. Being in those early maps with new people is really fun.

I recently 100% completed Banjo-Kazooie, something I haven't done before (without using cheats, at least). The final battle was a lot harder with the Switch button mapping!

It was fun playing as Washer Banjo for a bit. I could never beat that last puzzle as a kid.

I'll take whatever chance i can get to brag about A-ranking every level in Shadow the Hedgehog.

I'm also pretty close to getting every medal in Sonic Unleashed, just need to find the rest of those secret missions first.

I managed to reach the 1000 total trophies mark on my PlayStation account! I didn't actually realize how close I was to that mark until I got my PS5 and looked at the trophy list while making sure things transferred over correctly, lol. I hit it today with a few trophies I got while finishing up my initial playthrough of Nier Replicant. I've gotten my trophies mainly through just playing a fair number of PS4 games (52), since I only managed to get 4 platinum trophies (for Fallout 4's base game, Yooka-Laylee, Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon, and Assassin's Creed: Valhalla's base game) over the ~8 years I've had my PS4 (and now PS5).

It does make me curious how many theoretical achievements/trophies I'd have if Nintendo ever set up a proper achievement system, since it feels like it'd be A Lot. ah well, guess I'll never know.

I platinumed Nexomon: Extinction last night.

There is no gamer amongst my friends, online or offline, that has been able to escape me raving about this game. Nexomon: Extinction takes the Pokémon formula and strips it back to what it was in the original Gameboy era, fixes the grievances people have with the Pokémon games, and delivers a storyline that adults can play without spending the entire time cringing through monologues on the power of friendship. On the topic of friendship...

Spoiler: From an Abyssals DLC quest.

Downside, the trophy list was impacted by the release of the Abyssals DLC. One became missable unless you took the right precautions before unlocking the DLC area and the other has become unavoidably more time-consuming. Originally, the trophy for catching every Nexomon required you to catch all 382 Nexomon in the main game. However, the DLC moved the location of #382 Ziegler to the new Precursor Mountain area - and he can now no longer be caught until after you complete the Abyssals storyline. Even once you complete the DLC and you do manage to catch him, you still need to catch all 50 new Nexomon they added to the game before the trophy pops. I caught Ziegler last night at 400/427 (93.68%) Nexopedia completion, so they definitely modified the requirements for this trophy and subsequently made it more difficult. Luckily the DLC only took me a single session to complete so it wasn't too irritating - but admittedly I think I was playing non-stop from 2pm through to 2am yesterday so that may not be accurate for everyone.

I adored this game. I sank almost 83hrs into it and I'm not tired of it yet. I'll definitely return to this for cosmic (shiny) hunting later.

 

[.: Meri :.]

When I started Style Savvy: Styling Star, I thought it would be a nice, quick game that I could easily remove from my backlog... anyway, 211 hours later, I've finally completed it! I got every in-game achievement and completed the entire clothing catalogue (almost nineteen-thousand styles)—and I'm also fairly certain that I've collected all the other items and customization options as well, but there's no in-game way to track that as far as I know, so I relied on fanmade lists for those.

It was a lot grindier than I expected going into it, but I am absolutely flaunting my "Gazillionaire" achievement on my player profile.

Unlocked The Sanada's Millions trophy in Samurai Warriors: Spirit of Sanada tonight. This marks 100% completion of the campaign: all music and cutscenes unlocked and all battle objectives fulfilled (these destroyed me). Do you enjoy nerdy note-taking? I had a five-page checklist for tackling the objectives that were eluding me:

Spoiler: The Sanada's Millions: Nerdy Checklist

The game isn't over yet though. I'm still only at 44/51 trophies or 72% completion. The rest of them require a lot of tedious grinding in the exploration maps. They are very much RNG-dependent too so that will no doubt drive me up the wall.

Anyone else have a specific achievement or game they're working on at the moment?

I was waiting to post this because I am expecting to complete Fallout 4 soon, but I am way too easily distracted so with the amount of side content in that game that might still take me a while. So: Earlier this week, I finally completed all the 'Death Wish' contracts in A Hat in Time, the hard way (no assist or peace & tranquility modes!)

This took me nearly 100 hours of playing. There are 38? challenges tied to this achievement and at least half of them are absolutely ruthless. So much practicing, memorising, trying again. Skill based achievements,not even once. The screenshot below is unrelated to the specific achievement, but sums up the feeling nicely:

While we're comparing nerd notes, here are some of mine:

Spoiler: Map I made to help me with the 'Ship Shape' death wish

There is actually a path missing on the digital version between hallway and left deck, oh well.
This map was intended to go on my other screen, to help me learn planning routes for tasks in the following challenge:

Spoiler: Cruisin' for a Bruisin'

Not my video, feel free to skim through it a little because it is a 20 minute challenge that only gets more insane as it goes on.

That's definitely impressive! I did all the Death Wish contracts when that DLC first came out forever ago, which took me over a month to do, and ended up using P&T for a good chunk of them. I did save an image of everything I had done before resorting to using P&T:

Spoiler

Except for the hard boss rush, I did beat every contract (excluding bonuses) without P&T, just some of the bonuses were a bit too much for me to attain, thus why I decided to use P&T for them. Unfortunately the hard boss rush was just too difficult for me to try and complete without using P&T.

Your map for the ship is also impressive. I definitely didn't use anything like that, I kinda just memorized the ships layout with each successive attempt and kept trying until I got it completed, lmao.

That's still very impressive! And also, still includes quite a few challenges completed that I had a hard time with too!

I very nearly gave up on several of the bosses. It was a lot of trial and error to figure out how to play those levels without getting hit too often. And even then, the grind to get that one lucky attempt wasn't always fun. (I had a lot of trouble with 'killing two birds' in particular. It is such a long, boring fight...)

At least the hard boss rush was slightly more doable after all that practice, but even then the extra hard fourth/last boss felt like an extra kick while already down. I am so, so glad I got lucky with its bonuses.

I don't think making the map saved me any time, by the end I did have it all memorised too

Turns out that I forgot to come back and mention that I completed this game on Wednesday night!

So, I actually binged most of this game in a week after initially dropping it within a few hours of play five years ago. I don't know what it is about it, but every time I decided I was bored and turned it off I would almost always have it back on again within the hour. It's like I couldn't stop thinking about it. My better half was definitely bored of hearing about it, that's for sure. I've had a minor obsession with Japan's Warring States period for the past 15+ years and I love the Musou formula (as flawed as it is, I won't pretend it's perfect) so I had a blast playing this.

Main downside for me is that the game made me nauseous after 2-3hrs play. But by the time I figured out the cause of why I was feeling ill so often I was at 49/51 trophy completion - the penultimate one being to get a playable character to Lvl 99, and I already had Yukimura Sanada at Lvl 94 by that point so I just took a break then came back and hammered it out in under an hour.

More of a completion goal reached, but as I mentioned in another thread, I now have EVERY Genshin Impact character released so far. All 56 of them are filled out in my character archive and can be used in the game for me. It took several years, crazy good character RNG, whaling, and more, but I finally completed it. Now I have a seemingly limitless amount of team compositions I can go with, characters to build, AND I don't have to worry about reruns anymore! I'm really glad I've become one of the fewer in this game to complete the entire character archive.

Spoiler: complete Genshin Impact character archive

Today in "notes that should have been a spreadsheet:"

I completed Ni no Kuni, which had been sitting in my library for who knows how long! It was an interesting game. Definitely very grindy at certain points though, especially to get to the 100%.

The notes were unfortunately necessary because the in-game creature tracker sucks, and this way I could see what I needed to catch/evolve to get the last achievement... I regretted handwriting this as soon as the first page filled up, haha!

Splatoon 3 is my first Splatoon game and I got it just 3 weeks ago. Today, I completed the secret (last) level! Got the little bear badge too. Very proud of my growth and progress considering I’m very very new to the series :]
