Your Gaming Achievements

[Swan]

Ok, so i speedrun GTA 3 on PS4. It's night and day compared to how you can glitch on PC, but i have some pretty decent times (WR in all but one Console GTA 3 speedrunning category)

Speedrunning is super addictive, takes a lot of skill and practice, but i love it.

So yeah, are you a Trophy hunter? Do you speedrun? Ever beat a near impossible game to beat?

Post your achievements here.

[Calderyon]

Not into speedruns.

[Swan]

Not into speedruns.

That's fair, not for everyone, hence why it's 'gaming achievements' so can be anything? Mine just happens to be speedrunning.

I have a ton of respect for Trophy Hunters.

[The Slim Reaper]

I speedrun splinter cell, but that's the only one, and back on the ps3. Had a world record for a few weeks after release, then this Russian just dominated the whole leaderboard with insane times and scores. Still load it up once in a while to replay some missions.

Oh nice, the only game i run is GTA 3, one trick pony etc :laugh: Do you have any videos of your runs? Would like to have a look :wavey:

Unfortunately not as I don't have a capture card. I have the game on the current gen xbox though (through backwards compatibility), so I'll load it up over the next couple of weeks and record a few missions.

GTA 3 seems like a weird game to speedrun, how did you get into it?

Ah ok cool.

I mean the PS2 Trilogy to speedrun is super popular, granted VC and SA are more popular to run, but plenty run GTA 3 too (most on PC, granted).

There's a fairly big community for it. I just happened to prefer to run as i played it a lot as a kid. Will probably start to learn VC and then SA too.

I didn't even finish 3, I don't think. I was too into football and fighting games. I played the crap out of VC and SA though. You got any vids?

I was super into football games, i preferred Pro Evo over FIFA back in the mid 00's. Managing games, Tiger Woods, Gran Turismo etc etc.

3 is pretty hard casually, but it shaped what the GTA franchise become. It has a special place in my heart anyway.

Yeah i have a few.

I loved pro-evo: definitely the best in those days. And championship manager before it became football manager. I'll check those vids out and let you know. Be weird seeing that many pixels running round my screen after all these years with improving graphics!

I'm watching the first one. How do you know you're getting a WR as it starts? My SC missions take around 5ish mins to complete in speedruns. Concentrating for an hour and half like that is impressive.

[Calderyon]

I played through Vagrant Story 3 times and I think I got a 100% map reveal rate, but I did not get all of the weapons.

I would have to check my PS1 memory cards though as I think my save files are still there.

Which one, sorry? The first one i posted in my OP? Or in the few links i sent?

I never know, but i re-title the runs after if they're PB/WR.

[Swan]

FWIW my All Missions WR is 3:45:11, that one was stressful lol

[Calderyon]

I got all except the Master League Trophy on ISS Pro Evolution Soccer on PSX.

[Swan]

I got all expect the Master League Trophy on ISS Pro Evolution Soccer on PSX.

I LOVED that game :joker:

GG man.

[Calderyon]

I think I aced ISS Deluxe on SNES and ISS 64, ISS 98 and ISS 2000 on N64. (Won all the World tournaments and World Leagues on all levels from 3 to 5. Scenarios only on levels 3/4, I think.

I think I did the Short Tournament on those games that it was available.

[The Slim Reaper]

1st link.The 1.24 WR.

1st link.The 1.24 WR.

Ah yeah, the Dupeless any%, my Portland (first island) was pretty bad in that, a 1:22:00 is possible.

[Calderyon]

I LOVED that game :joker:

GG man.

The Master League cup is tough to get as you have to win the league on the 1st try with most of the team being crappy/mediocre. I'll have to try that again at some point.

Yeah it's hard for sure. You should yeah.

[Calderyon]

I won the league in my 2nd/3rd try, but it was of no use.

[Calderyon]

I won all the tournaments on FIFA 2000 and cleared the season mode (2/3 seasons + Cups & Champions league).

Mind you, it's not very hard.

I won the International tournaments with Finland and the season ones with Arsenal.

[Calderyon]

Dude you're making wanna play it again :joker:

It was such a thrill to having to first lose and lose & occasionally win, then as the times goes on finally win games with the team as you got better and comfortable with your players & strategy and then be able to buy the best players to help you further with the money you earned through your wins.

Yeah i loved that so much, would play for hours and hours.

[Calderyon]

I beat WC2 Tides of Darkness + Beyond the Dark Portal with Orcs and Tides of Darkness with Humans and got to the penultimate mission of Beyond the Dark portal with Humans. I will look into finishing it someday.

[Calderyon]

Cleared SC1 in terms of both the actual game and the expansion pack.

I think finishing the Driver 2 story mode when I was 10 was an achievement :laugh:. That game had some tough ****ing missions made even worse by the terrible AI.

Out of curiosity Swan (and sorry to sound proper dumb) but when you speed run GTA3 is it 100% completion you go for or just the main storyline missions? GTA3 would probably be the easiest for me to speed run out of all the PS2 GTA games I think. I only remember one or two missions being fairly difficult (I think one was called ‘Espresso 2 Go’ or something like that).

You don't sound proper dumb :) Basically no, 100% is it's own category (which i've yet to route for yet, but it'll happen soon, hoping for around a 9/10 hour run, RNG will play a huge part in that), i've done every category BUT 100%. So like any% will be the fastest because i dupe 4 missions (meaning you set on om0 and duplicate the mission and tricking the script, and pass with a death/bust), and any% is just that, complete the game as fast as you can, however you like, without cheating.

All missions, so all 73 missions is it's own category, that one i have a 3:45:11 time in, so yes quite a big difference from any% which is 1:18:56.

GTA 3 is a decent game to speedrun, little things will annoy you more than not, and RNG can really make or brake a run. As for the missions, yeah Espresso 2 Go is notorious with casual playthroughs because you have to get near the stalls for the blips to appear on the map, and it's across all 3 islands, so if you don;t know the map well then yeah it's very tricky. I've seen people stuck on this mission for hours (obviously in speedruns we know the best route, and it's fairly straightforward :laugh: )

[Shaun]

I'm just happy to get a gold PS4 trophy, think I've only ever got 1 platinum one :worry: don't think it was a tough one to get either.

I don't have the slightest clue what any of the 'achievements' even are - I've seen the trophies & stuff before but never looked into any of it at all, I just play the games

Ah ok so you’ve done speed runs on this game a fair few times then I take it? The hidden packages part is what I’d probably find the most annoying but I suppose if you’ve learned and memorised all the locations for them it can be fairly easy. That’s some impressive times btw, I doubt I could finish the game that quickly :laugh:.

I think as well, one of the harder things I found with this game is that as you progress through it, you become more hostile to gangs which can be a pain, especially in the Mafia turf on Portland because they walk around with shotguns that can blow up your car with 2 hits near enough. Speedrunning this game is probably so much fun tho, I’d literally have MSX FM playing throughout the whole thing to make me play faster :laugh: (Chatterbox FM was another great station from that game, had me in hysterics listening to it :laugh:).

[user104658]

I've platinum'd a few PS4 games/PC games on Steam. It wasn't something I used to be into, my first was Horizon Zero Dawn on PS4 then I finished up Arkham Knight on PC (because it was sat at something like 97%). I've done quite a few games since then.

The only game I can speed run is Resi 4 (original GameCube version) and I can also challenge speed run it (handgun only, no upgrades allowed, knife only, etc). That's due to me and one of my Uni housemates moving into our house 3 months earlier than everyone else (from the start of summer, everyone else moved in when classes started in late September) and all we had was a GameCube with one controller and a telly. We didn't even have furniture, other than beds. So we sat cross legged in the empty living room with the TV on the floor playing Resi 4 for 3 months straight.

Good times honestly.

I have yeah, tons and tons of runs, 1/1000 completed PB runs isn't considered bad lol. Yeah i know where every package is off by heart now haha, same with jumps and rampages lol.

I would LOVE to see you try, i have tutorials on yt :dance:

You have a good knowledge of the game, love it! And yeah you're right, the hostile gangs can be a thing too.

That’s impressive :laugh: oh the stunt jumps, I used to like the one that jumps the Callahan Bridge (it was on the Staunton Island side).

Link me some of your speed runs and I’ll give them a watch :thumbs:

GTA3 was a great game, compared to San Andreas it’s probably considered quite short but I still find it fun, enjoyable and easy to just start up and play again.

[Calderyon]

Beat both Abe's Oddysee and Abe's Exoddus and got the best ending in both of them.

Same, Exoddus took a while for me though cause I struggled finding all the secret areas and didn’t realise there was a really obvious clue as to where they all were :laugh:. I liked that all the Mudokons had emotions (if that makes sense) and you had to do certain things (apologising to the angry ones) or taking extra care (leading the blind ones) when rescuing them. It was just a cool little feature that made that game a little better to go back to compared to Oddysee but that was still a great game nonetheless.

Omg ‘Gripped!’ I hated that mission. The beginning was the most difficult part (and that part in the video when trying to get 3rd checkpoint was so intense :joker:) but afterwards it became a lot easier.

Also forgot how crap the Landstalker was to drive in that game it was so easy to flip. :laugh:. This was great to watch tho :thumbs:

My only ‘gaming achievement’ was being headhunted as a sniper
Many years ago whilst playing online COD2 ... .. sniping night after night after night I was invited to join a rather highly rated online American COD2 clan as they needed a decent sniper ..

It all went rather well for quite some time despite me having to spend a couple hours each night between 1am and 4am and holding down a full time job :)

It did get too much in the end ..

I went downstairs after couple of hours of competitive sniping to try and chill out - as I couldn’t get to sleep ..

I tried watching a bit of telly but my gaze drifted to the woodland scene print hanging on our lounge wall to the side of the television and I was still ‘seeing’ little soldiers running around the countryside in and out of the woodland !!

That’s proper worrying !

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk ProCOD eyes were definitely a thing! Me and my housemates played (... A LOT) on a small but very active private COD4 server while I was at Uni. Sometimes 5, 6 hour sessions... And I swear... Sometimes we'd play until about 10pm then head out to the union and it felt like there were still little "names" floating above people's heads :umm2:.

I also got a bad case of Starcraft-brain once. Played Starcraft 2 for like 12 hours solid and then every time I closed my eyes I could still see little Starcraft units moving around.
