I see people talking about Disco Elysium and particularly the communist quest line online all the time. I have an achievement for completing the quest line that like 1% of people have. I should play Disco again.
Does that mean you pulled off being mean to Kim? Of those that have tried, most can't go through with it, and I myself lack the conviction to ever even attempt it.
Top 150 ranked in world on Company of Heroes 1v1 a long time ago lol. Got to play against some of the #1's - one of them left to join the South Korean military I heard. Got stomped but was fun.
I was pretty damn good at C&C Generals: Zero Hour back in the day. Damn I wish they remastered that game.
Was ranked on global leaderboards in Dota for a brief moment, too. Top 1%, but never close to the 0.1%.
My favorite moment in gaming was playing a sniper in Red Orchestra in a large 64 player game. Huge map. All game I'm sniping people left and right. Not dying once. Meanwhile throughout the game, like 30 minutes, the enemy sniper is equally decimating my team's ranks. I was hunting for him the entire game to no avail. Then, while prone I crest this ridgeline to scout a valley below and as I pan my scope to look all the way down toward the other side of my ridgeline, I see the other sniper lock with me at Exactly. The Same. Time.
We both fire.
And since Red Orchestra actually tries to simulate ballistics, we both hit each other and die.
I beat Halo 2 on legendary. I also refuse to attempt that again and haven't bothered playing legendary at all on any Halo in over a decade. Pretty sure my thumbs will not do that anymore.
when I was about 16 during an online match of Medal of Honor Allied Assault, I was so dialed-in with the bolt-action rifle that I got kicked for cheating.
I had the same thing happen in Battlefield 1942 when I built up the skill of shooting the tank’s main gun to hit planes in midair. It’s not as hard as it sounds, it sends a righteous thrill of victory through your entire body, and it makes you look like a cheater. Great stuff
this wasn't even something that I was usually particularly good at, I just happened to be doing everything right for like one game. I understood why they thought I was cheating, I was winning one-on-one duels in small rooms against guys who had like mp44s with a single headshot
I got kicked so many times in Quake II Rocket Arena for the same reaaon that I got fed up and started my own clan and stood up my own server. Which is actually how I got my current alias in here. [Crack] Happy
My favorite fps achievement took place in Halo on the Xbox. We did the thing to play online and during an online ctf match I was on point with the sniper rifle. The match was tied up for flag captures and we were in a stalemate for a bit. The other team managed to get our flag and were running it back. As I'm in my sniper spot trying to line up the shot they all jumped at nearly the same time right into my sights. I take the shot and head shot every one of them... Except for the flag carrier because they apparently jumped just a tiny bit ahead of the others and dropped just enough to go under the bullet.
The entire lobby was going nuts over that last sniper shot. Even though we lost it was the talk of the match. The loss sucked but that shot was amazing. I quit playing for the day after that... No way was I going to top it so I left on a high.
I managed a cyber cafe many years ago. Mostly filled with regulars that I knew on a first name basis and would usually sit in for a CS match if it was slow.
I wouldn’t call myself great but I could take down middle schoolers. That’s not what this post is about though.
A girl walks in, has some sweats on from the big university that’s not too close but still in the area.
She wipes all those kids out repeatedly. They start yelling, asking me to help them out so I do. I’m effectively going 50% with this person.
Before she leaves she reveals that’s she’s visiting her parents for the weekend and that she was on a team that was ranked or otherwise played professionally.
I asked her if I was good enough to play competitively.
She said no, she hadn’t played at all for a few months because of school and she was going easy.
Felt pretty proud that I was able to keep up with an out-of-shape pro.
When I was a kid in the 80’s and 90’s, you only owned a few games if you had an NES or SNES (or Sega equivalent) even if you rented/played a lot of them. So, I got insanely good at the few games I owned. After I beat Street Fighter II with every character on the highest difficulty, I decided to beat the game using only one button (plus the D pad, obviously). Finally did it with Chun Li and X button.
With Super Mario World, the hardest personal challenge I did was beating every level except the switch blocks. There’s a bunch of secret exits where switch blocks are supposed to be the way. It took a lot of cape+blue Yoshi shenanigans to get that one done.
Now that I’m old (or least older) and games are way longer, my biggest accomplishment is actually finding time to play a game all the way through, much less do side quests. I made time for BoTW, Horizon Zero Dawn, Nier: Automata, and Hades. But if I stop playing a game for awhile, I forget all the controls and that’s the end of that game.
I’m the largest collector of Anivia merch on earth, and her biggest fan. I’ve had communications with all the famous Anivia related people, am the best Anivia player in my country, and probably close to the world; but I defs am the biggest fan and follower of her :>
