@Sei: Nope. I keep all my shooters to PC. I'm one of those snobs that thinks that mouse and keyboard is simply better. :P Don't have a 360, but I do have a PS3 (that spends more time playing movies than games).

There's several sections in FFX where all the characters are swimming underwater for hours. I'm pretty sure there's just some sort of magic that allows them all to breathe under water.

@Letho: I know I at least attempted to get Kimari's because I remember that stupid butterfly game, but I don't think I ever actually got it. Like I said before, I didn't have much motivation to get the ones other than the 3 I played with the most. :P Also: I fucking hated blitzball. lol

Yay, just spent 5,000 gold enchanting a bad-ass sword that pretty much ohko's everything in the current level bracket with frosty death...

Then that stupid moustached prat broke it .

This game is cruel.

CRUEL I TELL YOU!

[Shadar]

Oh look! Torchlight has an infinite dungeon after the end boss. (According to the internets.) Good bye world...

Play mostly fighters now a days, but I can still remember a few glorious accomplishments...

1) Accomplished - Unlocking EVERYTHING in Golden Eye, EVERYTHING. All guns, unlimited ammo, even the ones you really don't need after all guns cheat like 2x RCP-90. Took me months but finally did it, and as a trivia tip, 2x RCP-90 was the last cheat I unlocked, long after I unlocked the debug mode you get for beating the game every level, on every difficulty.

2) Didn't accomplish - Beating Blazblue: Calamity Triggers Score Attack mode. I would get SO DAMN CLOSE. Whats even more frustrating is I have the game, and not the system, so I can't even go back and do it now. It was the last achievement I needed to get all 1000 points for that game! >.<

1: (the lame one) was playing DMC 3 and getting my ass whipped by Cerberus so much it unlocked easy mode. I fought and fought and fought, and my friends fought and fought, and we never beat that damn dog! He was brutal and I was just in such awe of how awesome the game is I got rofl-stomped over and over again. Three months later of putting the game down and playing Star Fox armada I came back and beat the stupid dog, no problems.....However his nunchucks of ice were so cool I forgave him. That was until i beat Agni and Rudra senseless, thought I was a pimp, and the next play through they played hacky sack with my skull....Oh and Beowolf was a dick! I got a strategy Guide just to see how to beat him...and it told me GOOD FUCKING LUCK!

Don't fret. Those ones were easy for me, now NEVAN was a bitch for me. But anyway ... since I'm posting here ...

HARDEST thing I've done? I'd have to say Beat DMC 1,2,3 and 4 in a row on their hardest difficulties. Yes, in a row.

Hardest thing I've never done? I've never had to cheat till GTA 4 for the first play through. Any other time, fuck cheats.

Combat in the Witcher makes me want to cry. Also, the first girl.. Triss? .. I couldn't stop staring at her chest when she was talking. I didn't realize not having a bra made that much of a difference, but jesus talk about low cut.

[Letho]

If you're talking about the second Witcher, I broke my keyboard in half because of the combat. Literally. For the first quarter of the game I loathed the combat. Then I sort of got the hang of it. Then I loved it. I eventually found it quite rewarding and an improvement over the first game.

My problem isn't the clicking, its the fact that groups of enemies can pretty much just null combat completely. If you have 3-5 people on you and you can't run, you're going to either need to be really lucky or learn to love restarting from an earlier save file. I'm on the beast fight right now with Abigail. I stopped trying to keep her alive because she apparently can pull a.. jesus rabbit.. out of her hat now and come back anyway? Beast fries my ass every time. Attacks too fast to keep up while I'm doing random fucking twirls. Who would have thought that when getting mauled by a hellhound the appropriate response is to break into an impromptu ballet?!

Story's awesome. The combat makes me want to take a club to the head's of the developers and pound them into mush. How does this even pass quality testing at all?!

[SirArtemis]

I agree with both of you. I started witcher 1 and wasn't motivated to push through. I got witcher 2 for free and have no motivation to even bother. All because of the combat system. It's so stiff...
