Achievements in games....has anyone gone all the way

[wheunis]

I just got my Mass Effect 2 and Modern Warfare 2 Platinums this week. I love trophies, not always, but mostly.

As much as I like trophies most of the time, I only make the effort for Platinums if I REALLY REALLY like the game.
Kinda like a tribute?

Man, i can never seem to get a platinum trophy
Theres always one or two trophies that are almost impossible for me to get!

Got really close with AC Brotherhood, but couldn't get the trophy with the multiplayer one where you gotta get every bonus in a single match.

Very close with Infamous. Trying to do the one with killing 25 enemies while riding on the train now.

It's pretty hard to get every achievement when you have to get everything in the single player, multiplayer, and every DLC as well. Then there's things like BFBC2, where you have to purchase the Specact kit to get the achievements for those kits. It's not even extra playable DLC, it's just extra guns really.

I think the last time I finished a game 100% was GTA San Andreas on PS2

[Prinstimon]

wow san andreas.... that is quite an achievement, i think i only stopped at like 76%

[Isengard]

San Andreas 92%, then I gave up...

The races were a pain, and there was a bike challenge in a dry dock that took forever to get right

[Prinstimon]

driving was quite a pain and that's without cheats....

I usually get most of them just playing the game. The rest are usually in other game modes that are put there I think to get people to try out all aspects of a game. I don't really waste my time on achievements all that much though, I mean its not the reason I buy games and spend time playing them. As it is I spend most of my time working and I don't think its worth it to use the precious little game time I have to hunt for achievements.
It is nice getting that achievement icon pop up though, I won't lie to you.

At least on ps3 you don't need to complete the achievements that come with DLCs to get a platinum trophy, even though you won't have 100% completion for the game.

Somehow getting a platinum trophy on ps3 seems more rewarding than 1000G on xbox.

...or maybe that's because i'm still a platinum virgin

there was only once in my life where I have achieved ALL achievements and that was for tekken 6 1000/1000
and with LA Noire I have almost got all achievements (59/60) just need to get the achievement where 5 star ranking is needed in all cases :/
