Maybe it’s that first PUBG victory, or becoming a Grand Champion on Rocket League. Maybe it’s the time you got passed that awfully difficult level, or the time you actually got around to finishing your backlog.
What achievement are you proud of?

“Elden Ring” achievement in Elden Ring (obtain all achievements.) I am a very casual gamer and I played very little of dark souls 3 but I couldn’t get past the tutorial boss so I gave up. I heard many great thing about Elden Ring so I decided to give a FromSoft game another try. The freedom of that game made it really easy for a casual player like myself to go my own pace and get used to the i-frames. I fell in love with the game and my first play through I used as many summons as I could but my other play throughs I hardly used any. It turned me into a gamer that dodged and used parries which I never did before. Very good game and I’m excited to play the dlc.
You should give the older DSs a try again (and Bloodborne if you have a PS for sure). I still prefer the first DS. The combat is slower and easier, and generally just not as good. The world is amazing though. There’s still no other game like it. The way it all links together and has tons of paths that connect different pieces of the map feels amazing.
If you do decide to play DS1, remember what you learned in ER about feeling free to leave and try something else if it’s too challenging. Especially at the begining there’s several paths and some are harder than others. One small spoiler is everyone says to avoid the catacombs at the start. There’s an item you can get there that let’s you heal more though, so it’s actually helpful to grab earlier, just a pain in the ass. It’s your call on that. There is no wrong path, but some are more right than others.
Back in the days I was one of the first to get the Loremaster achievement on out server in WoW. It basically meant doing every quest in the game.
Another one is not so much a coded ingame achievement, but I can do The Secret of Monkey Island from beginning to end without hesitating at any point. Most of Monkey Island 2 too, but som parts still gets me.
Being (briefly) 9th in the world at Unreal Tournament. :)
Now this is luck and not skill, but I traded Pokémon in Pokémon GO with a friend. When you do this, the Pokémon you send to your friend rerolls its IVs. The Duskull I sent him rerolled its IVs, the Buneary he sent me rerolled its IVs, and we both ended up with perfect-IV Pokémon.
(I’m a 100-IV aka perfect-IV hunter in Pokémon GO. In the mainline games, I tend not to care as much.)
Beating COD: MW and the remastered campaign on veteran.
There’s two actually and both are pretty niche but I’m proud to have accomplished.
-
I love to surf in CSGO/CSS/Momentum Mod and at the time of writing I’m top 1.4% of a large server on CSGO of people who surf which isn’t amazing by any means but feelsgoodman.
-
I managed to finish a 16 star “run” on Super Mario 64 (wasn’t fast but was super fun and the child in me was in amazement)
-
I don’t achievement hunt but getting one that 0.5% of players achieve feels good. One in particular is “Humble Pie” in Stellaris.
Humiliate an Empire that is in the Supremacy Diplomatic Stance, forcing them out of it
Nethack, ascending a Caveman, Wishless, polyselfless, Genoless:

My first was a Valkyrie, and I’ve gotten a couple of wizards to the bar, but Caveman was a challenge
Completing the Vidmaster challenges in Halo 3 and ODST to earn Recon armor is probably up there for me. They sure didn’t make it easy and it feels good to have earned Recon. For example this achievement:
Vidmaster Challenge: Endure: In Firefight, on any mission, pass the 4th set on 4-player Heroic LIVE co-op.
This one alone takes nearly 3 hours of continuous playtime per attempt and I remember the frustration if you failed a wave and had to start over.
I remember those, one of the few times in my gaming lifetime I was willing to help and join random parties of randoms was to get those Vidmaster challenges done with them.
Everyone wanted Recon so it really brought people together to grind out the challenges. Man I really miss the old Bungie and those Halo 3 days on Xbox 360.
100% God of War on GMGOW difficulty. Went in completely blind. Took almost an hour on the first encounter as I learned the controls and the final Valkyrie was rough (although it brought everything you learned from the previous ones together quite well).
I really hated Niflheim though… so tedious.
SL1 Dark Souls run. Should specify any%, I definitely skipped a good few bosses, and just abused pyromancy, but I did get to the credits with SL1.
I platinumed Final fantasy XIII. Not that incredibly difficult I guess, but it took so freaking long to get all the weapons, and some are missable IIRC so I had to meticulously catalog each one and make sure I didn’t miss an opportunity to get one.
It’s not all that uncommon, but I’m pleased with my platinum trophy for Beat Saber. That was for the PS4 version – I’m still working on it for PS5 and dealing with the different controllers, being out of practice, and just getting older/less coordinated.
My rarest platinum trophy is for Sports Champions, back on the PS3. Sony claims 0.1% for getting that one – even PSNProfiles tracks it to 0.51%.
Hollow Knight 112% “Pure Completion”
One of my favorite games, but it’s so hard.
Recently, getting S-Rank on every mission in Metal Gear Solid V :)
An older achievement is probably when I blasted through the Borderlands 2 campaign in one sitting in like 4 hours lol
