Most difficult trophies / achievements?

[LandR]

What do we reckon, my list would be (out of the games I've played)

Wipeout HD - Zone Zeus
Wipeout HD - Beat Zico

Trine - Better than the developers (reach top of last level without dying on Very Hard difficulty)

Vanquish - Can't remember what it's called but you get it for beating all the challenges in challenge mode. Challenge 4 & 6 are just about near impossible.

Chime Super Deluxe - Overachiever. I was pretty pleased when I got this one, hardest trophy I've got yet.

Trials HD.

Any achievements after about 2/3 of the way in.

For 360 achievements, trueachievements.com is a really good site for looking at which games and which individual achievements are statistically "hardest".

It converts your gamerscore into an adjusted TA score. If you have 1000 pointed a load of kiddie games, it will find you out!

Collecting all the orbs in crackdown was difficult.

[Meoricin]

For me the hardest was probably platinum in GT5. I'm not really into hunting trophies though, so most of the hard ones I'll have ignored.

[strudel]

Invincibility, Goldeneye.

Good site that is!

Definitely "Dead Men Rising" from Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days. Complete the game on insane mode, even doing it co-op for the "End of the Road" achievement with my brother who is as much of a gaming ace as me, it was hard as nails.

Terminator-hard enemies who can soak up silly amounts of damage (30+ assault rifles rounds to the chest, what body armour are those guys wearing!), are super accurate and have infinite ammo, whereas you can take literally two bullets before dying, often get pinned in cover and run out of ammo trying to fight back. There is a section on the last level where you and your partner decide to split up - totally nonsensical since fighting together is all that kept them alive, and that was hilariously hard.

Coupled with a bug that would crash the game at the end of a coop level, meaning the whole thing had to be done again, made this a real blood, sweat and tears achievement. It will take a real son of a bh of an achievement to ever take my "hardest achievement" badge from "Dead Men Rising", but I think that will remain my proudest achievement for ever.

However, I am hooked on insane modes now. A few years back I would do a normal difficulty run, grab some easy achievements then play multiplayer. Now I don't play on LIVE competitively so much, I focus more on single player achievements and completing games on their hardest diffculties.

Arkham Asylum is difficult to complete 100%, also Mile High Club on COD4 Veteran is rediculous.

[Silverbullet767]

All gold on forza 3. Not so much difficult, but it'll probably take eleventy million years to achieve! It's the only forza achievement standing in the way for 1000 gamerscore.

[The_Jackal]

Al Gold is easy, building up enough money to buy all the cars is a pain.

[swiftpete]

Completing COD2 on veteran. Took me months. Satisfying to finally get there though. I can't be arsed to put months in on any COD after that so have never done it since.

[130R]

Dead Space 2 - Hard to the Core

Complete the game on hardcore setting, only three saves allowed.

[Polarbert]

I've not played it but supermeat boy looked incredibly difficult. I'm sure there are some hard ones connected to that.

But if you have a mate you can buy half each and then just send them over. Still boring as hell though. Only game I 1000 pointed. Could easily do Forza 4, but its too boring!

Fallout 3 - Getting ALL the Bobbleheads.....

Specifically that sodding one just before the bunker shuts when you have the mutant companion.

Arrrggh.

One of the HL2 episodes, you had to carry a gnome statue for the whole game with the grav gun and put it into a rocket that you launched.

Was quite hard as you had to drop it to fend off enemies and solve puzzles then go back and get it.

I lost it very close to the end and was gutted!

Super meat boy is insanely hard even normally. Some of the achievements like doing a whole world without a death are just evil.

But it is a fantastic game

Doom II - can't remember what it's called but you have to get 100 frags in deathmatch over Live.

Pretty difficult when NOBODY ELSE EVER F**KING PLAYS IT
