Your Finest Hour
What would you say is your single greatest moment in gaming? When it all comes together just perfectly and you do something that is an example of rare skill and talent, and probably a bit of luck as well?
I'm talking about things that are beautiful, things so well executed that you could put a replay of it in the Lourve.
Go!
This has nothing to do with RPG's or anything, but I was playing in a Halo 3 tournament playing a team slayer match. Each round was the first team to 50 kills, and I ended up with more than half of our kills each round. All in all, we played 4 rounds and I ended up with a record of 123 kills and 0 deaths. I felt godlike.
I don't mean to brag or anything, but I've got mad skillz at Super Mario World.
Defeating Boss Battles with Marth on Intense Mode in Super Smash Bros. Brawl immediately comes to mind.
One weekend I got together all the Megaman games on the NES, 1 through 6, and I beat them all straight through. It was glorious.
THE JACKEL
add me, PSN: ljkkjlcm9
Completing Halo 3 on Legendary difficulty with a times twelve multiplier from activated skulls (which induce various handicaps ranging from increased grenade use by enemies to no radar) comes to mind. I don't often try to do anything particularly absurd in games, although I'm looking at attempting a perfect game excalibur II run on FFIX.
I dunno, I guess it was getting 200 out of 200 GS for Mega Man 9. It's not an impossible feat to do though, as there's been a bunch of people doing the same and even more. I don't think I'm a really good gamer actually. But as long as I'm having fun it doesn't matter to me.
Well, I beat every Mega Man game from 1 through 9. :P
I beat Viewtiful Joe on Ultra V-Rated and unlocked Captain Blue. That was awesome.
I got all of the medals in Sonic Adventure 1. Some of those were crazy.
RPGs aren't that tough usually (since most things can be solved by level grinding) but I beat Tales of Symphonia, including all optional bosses and bosses you're allowed to fail at, using half EXP.
Uhm, I caught all 150 original Pokemon. xP
I got the highest possible rank in Elite Beat Agents. That involved beating every song on Hard Rock mode without missing a single beat.
I got all of the stars in Super Mario Galaxy as both Mario and Luigi. That was a bitch.
There are probably more, but that's all I can think of at the moment. xP
There were some good posts in this thread, until this point.Originally Posted by Roto13
You hear me, Eyeson? Roto has shamed the lot of you!
No, I joke, there's some good stuff here. No genre restrictions or anything, just stuff you did that was awesome and made you feel great!
Best for me was Halo: CE co-op with my man Barry. We were on level 5, Assault on the Control Room, heading up that long tunnel after the big underground chasm. We were on foot for whatever reason. I had a sniper rifle, and I was clearing the tunnel of whatever I could see before we walked on up it.
Sauntering along, about 2/3 of the way up, was a Jackal, shield in hand. I aimed at the shield. "Bet I can bounce this bullet off his shield and through his skull." *Fires* The bullet bounced off his shield and into his jaw, exiting through the top of his head.
Yeah. I felt like I was at the Copacabana.
Winning a tournament with one of the most well-executed matches I have ever done in SoCalIII. I was playing Raphael.
I felt like a master at life. And the fifty bucks wasn 't so bad either.
Once me and my friend were playing Metroid Prime: Hunters and we were both using the red guy. After some wonder I found him and he found me. After some jumping arranging our sites we head shot each other at the same time. If that isn't beautifully executed I dunno what is xD.
Except maybe this one time playing Soul Calibur 3. Just this once though, I've never been able to pull of any thing close to it again. I was using Celsius, a grieve edge character, and I just wiped the floor with the same guy as above in one big ass combo. I dunno if it was one combo, that seems impossible but I dunno how else to say it. Flawless. The rest of the match was intense too. Him, not wanting to go through that again, and me trying to do it again.
I got one for him too. In Arcana Heart, the king (or well queen whatever) of juggling. He was using Lilica and the lightning arcana. I was using Saki and the time arcana. And the only thing I can say about that is Saki got distance.
I beat that smurfing sleeping table in Persona 3 FES on Hard. If you fought that guy, you'd understand what I"m talking about.
But really, first time through Persona 3, I manage to get almost all of the Social links mastered, including 2 out of 5 of the Girlfriends.
The other three and one more visit to Bebe was all I didn't get. I think that was quite the accomplishment.
In Golden Sun 2, I beat Dullahan on Hard mode. :P
I've had a few of these, one of the moments which will forever be in memory and god I wish I had saved the replay of the shot for it was BEAUTIFUL was on Halo 3, I was with Psy and some others (May have been Dan but I think it was actually a friend of mine called J) we were on the blue team in a big team battle on Valhalla I had the sniper rifle and we were on the central hill. Whilst Psy pinned the guys in the enemy base with his BR I merely sat crouching and following the battle zoomed in, eventually a guy who I had tracked for a while (behind gravity lifts ect, hard to get clear shots where the man launchers wouldn't deflect the bullet enough to miss) comes charging over the central launch shotgun in grasp. I calmly tracked the movement and as he just reached the top of his arc towards us I calmly put a single bullet through his face plate strangely none of his team mates tried that tactic until end of game where they rushed us, by then I was also down to a BR from using up my ammo.
On Halo 3 legendary campaign I completed over 50% of the storyline solo.
MGS2 Sons of Liberty I completed on European Extreme mode....do not even ask how many times I had the game over screen I physically began to shudder everytime I heard someone get it when I was at work. What worked in my favour was I had gathered tags enough for the optic camo and unlimited ammo upgrades, this allowed me to line up shots perfectly so long as I wasn't standing on the patrol path and not to worry about taking people down because I had unlimited ammo...without these items in my inventory I would not have completed this game on such an insane difficulty.
my current FFVIII file: I've got pretty much all the RF abilities for my 4 GF's, I have most stat junctions (am avoiding hp-j for now no idea why), I also have 100 Ensuana on 2 chars, 100 Double on 3 chars, 100 Water on all 4 chars, 50 or so Protect spells on 1 character. Card wise I have: Ifrit, Trauma, Elvorlet, Mini Mog, Jumbo Cactuar, and a few more cards I'm currently attempting to gain a Norg card...location in storyline? Well just past the Dollet Mission in the Training Centre with Quistis. Not too hard but it is essentially (apart from I didn't draw another 100 ensuana and 250 protect spells (the black widow time limit stopped me nothing else and ensuana came from Biggs, he has high ressitance to being drawn from lots fail even with decent mag or spirit stats and those which suceeded often got 1 - 3 spells only boredom kicked in) I will try for a "black widow" card as soon as I remember the monster which can be carded in to it.
Beating God of War on god mode was pretty satisfying.
