Video game Accomplishment's Thread

[SuccinctAndPunchy]

It isn't related to any special formulas, I'm pretty sure, only your numerical grade.  IIRC a D was anything under 6 million, Cs were between 6-7 million, Bs were 7 million-8,099,999, As were 8.1mil-9.5, AAs were 9.5-9,999,999, and a AAA was of course a perfect 10 million.

If my score were ported to DDRX I'm pretty sure it'd be a low C.

Either way, if you managed to PASS the song, that's plenty of accomplishment right there!  Those ending streams are absolutely insane when you're not someone well into playing 10s.

Huh, I never knew that DDR's grading system worked that way. I seem to assume things are more complicated than they are.

And yeah, I suppose passing the song is a decent accomplishment considering the conditions.

I have no facility to practice at home due to softpads being arse and hardpads being too expensive, the nearest arcade is a couple hour train journey away which I only really visit like once every couple months or so. I'm not even sure how I got to Paranoia Survivor passing levels of skill since I have basically no way to regularly practice.

So, that's my video game accomplishment. Winging a Paranoia Survivor pass on mostly natural rhythm game talent.

Wow, I know Aether was a requirement for the Black Knight fight in FE9, but luck was on my side: not only did I get the one Aether I needed, I got TWO in a row! That battle didn't last very long at all XD. What made it more epic was that I played Sonic's "Fight the Knight" theme as it played, I felt it was an appropriate song for this fight.

You played over Against the Black Knight?

For shame.  For shame.

As cool as the song is, it didn't really fit the "epic duel" theme to me. I think it would have helped better if they used THAT for the map theme for that fight, then use a more upbeat/intense version (maybe do something like Rare does where they change the instruments based on the events that're going on) when the actual fight starts. The final map theme I feel is inferior to the previous one, and the Black Knight's battle theme felt like it was more at home in a cutscene than a fight scene. I just wanted to treat myself for finally finishing a Fire Emblem game legitimately (I finished Sacred Stones in the past, but it was on an emulator with lots of savestate and arena abuse :V). Besides, the battle was painfully short as it was, barring the BK's prebattle dialogue, so the part where the song would take the most effect is kind of short-lived to me.

On a related note, I started FE10 today. I'm annoyed I couldn't finish chapter 1 in less than 8 turns. Curse me and A- my need to to keep Edward from getting hit with a a Hand Axe to the face, B- going after the boss kill AND the Hand-Axer kill, and C- my sudden compulsive need to finish each chapter in the time limit to get the max bonus EXP; it kicked in about halfway through FE9, and continued as I realized how close some units where to 20/20. I ended up BEXPing Ike, Jill, Marcia and Zihark to Max, fed Astrid a few kills before BEXPing her (she was high enough as it was), then fed Oscar my leftovers and let him kill things in the final battle.

Anyways, gonna redo that chapter and just ignore handaxer dude next time. If anything, FE10 teaches you to optimize your strategy and know when to either run like hell or take your time, even if it is a bit cruel about it. This definitely feels like a game that should be played right after FE9, and I think I'll enjoy it (for the most part).

EDIT: How did this post get so long ahhhhh D:

Well. I'm officially in the top 400 on Phantom Ensemble Normal Mode in Osu! :V

More specifically, 320#

I've also seen that With Double Time, Hard Rock and Hidden turned on I can actually get to the top 40. But that's an achievement for another day (Double Time'd songs are hard.)

Also ,got my second SS in Osu! :V

Now, aside from Osu! achievements, I've successfully pulled off Nyx's full combo in Dota 2 for the first time ever. (Ult > Wait until it's almost over > Attack > Ethereal Blade > Impale > Mana Burn > Dagon > Spiked Carapace > Ult > Hit) and as a result, I instantly killed Tiny, a tank. That's a LOT of burst.

Got not one, but TWO tempest set equips today in MapleStory. Those boxes enemies drop are great for tempest coins. :3c Now if only my luck with potentials was better...I wanted a null defense potential on my new bowgun.

Bookworm Adventures WR is a good accomplishment right?

...I scare myself with the words I see sometimes.

I kind of wonder how good you would be at a game of Scrabble with that kind of skill. I never thought I'd find myself genuinely impressed with someone playing Bookworm Adventures of all things, but here we are.

Also, what's that timer you got going on the left side of the screen? The one that seems to be tracking total time and individual segment time, is that a feature of the game or some nifty external program?

This video also reminded me I need to actually buy that game at some point.

I consistently get 330 point games of Scrabble, and I've gotten a 400 point game before.
The timer is WSplit and can be found here.
There a sequel too and I think I'm going to start trying for runs of that too at some point, it's simultaneously a very relaxing run (no 'will I miss this trick invalidating the run') and a very tense run (please don't insta-kill me).

I've got mostly RPG accomplishments. Like having my first Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep playthrough be on Critical. And beating it with all people. And then doing everything there is to do with Ventus, such as bonus bosses and the Mirage Arena. Yeah, that was annoying. It's not completely 100% (I'm missing some commands and such), but I'm pretty damn close. I need to play Dream Drop Distance again. I've still got to do THAT on Critical... that'll be fun.  :V

Beating Valkyrie Profile on Hard twice (both times with the A Ending) and beating Iseria Queen a few times on one of those playthroughs is another accomplishment (not enough to get the Angel Slayer, however). Now if only I can do Valkyrie Profile 2's Seraphic Gate... or at least beat the A Ending of Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume on my first playthrough. I've heard that's goddamn impossible. Once I pick that game back up, we'll see.

I remember that I've beaten Inward Chaos of Dissidia at least once, and Confessions of the Creator once in Duodecim. Those are damn difficult to beat , but I have done them. That's all I can really think of right now. I'm sure I've done something else besides these things, but not too much other things.

It's not impossible, I did it myself.

It is, however, bloody difficult and enraging.

You have been warned.

14 minutes to spare.  This game's got nothing on me...except the L1E2PG I want to do eventually.

Oh, and I did beat the game after getting this.  Final boss bit the dust at around the 12:12 mark.

New challenge:  Beat the entire thing in under 12 hours, INCLUDING the final boss?(but not counting ending stuff unless you want to since that's after you've technically beaten the game itself?)

Piece of cake, all I'd have to do is not get 95 encounters and instead only get 80 or so-which 80 is still incredibly unlucky

42/40 vs. Christopher Robin in the japanese version of Winnie the Pooh's Home Run Derby (max distance 203.7m), before I forget to post it here

edit: and 40/40 vs CR in the american version as well; didn't notice any differences in gameplay.
