Your most infuriating just-out-of-reach achievements

Belmit · 05-07-2007, 09:01

Game: Crackdown.

Achievement: Collect all 500 agility orbs.

Best so far: 470!

They're pretty much few and far between now. Had another go yesterday; scaled a skyscraper and the adjoining rooftops had about five on. It's nice finding an area you haven't been to and hitting the jackpot!

Game: Guitar Hero II

Achievement: Beat the expert career

Best so far: 46 of 48 complete

Been stuck on Hangar 18 for nearly a couple of months now, though I've been on a break for most of that, going through Shadowrun, TMNT and Kong. I think it may actually reduce me to hours in practice mode, which no other song has done!

I'd agree with that one, though I'm further back in the career than you are. Can't think of anything that has infuriated me as much.

It's really quite annoying having so few left. I've got a map now with all of them on so I just colour them in when I find 'em.

There's also complete insane on GoW as I can't kill the little gits in act 3 when they surround you.

That narked me off no end. Do you mean the bit in the mine with the carts, where there's a brief in-game cut-scene of the thing screaming? How many times did I have to watch that scene?! Only way I could do it was to retreat to the little room at the back and lob grenades out, then hope that your useless mate bags a couple before six of them make it into the room. Must have spent an hour on that.

Nah, when you're in the cave and they drop from the ceiling and surround you, then you blow up the wall, but that bit you mentioned was also tedious.

Ah yes, I know the bit you mean. I found that easier than the mine bit but then sometimes you can just get lucky at certain parts.

I hated that part! Been doing it on co-op insane with a guy off x360a and it really pissed us off. Now we're stuck on Raam :/ But we haven't tried in a few days.

Completing Act2 on Hard in GRAW, bloody helicopter section and people shooting you dead before they are on-screen. I got so mad I stopped playing. Not played it in over 12 months now.
