Getting achievements in video games are one of my favorite past times. Main reason is it's like a hunt or even a goal that most have a hard time to accomplish. At points it's like wanting to pound your head against a wall until your like finally I get it and were able to get that achievement. I swear when I started playing games at a younger age all I really wanted to accomplish was the campaign and watch the story unfold upon my eyes. I started out that way until finally I received my first console. I was like WoW I am able to have more than one reason to play this game over and over. It made the games more interesting and more entertaining. For instance in Far Cry 3 there is an achievement that you had to shoot an individual at 70 meters or more. Well it took me forever to do, but at this one moment I set up a shot, no lie in the game at 100 meters. I was so flipping excited. I was high five-ing every person near me and hooting and howling like a monkey, no joke. I tell you what, that achievement totally sucked and when I got that one it made me want to finish more achievements in this game, like free falling 100 meters or more. I was not able to do this with out my fiance though. She is my backup when I am not able to get that achievement. She too is an achievement junky like myself. She found a high spot of the far north east corner of the game and got the achievement on the third try. 
To Trevor, I have to say how I feel about Resident Evil. I have to say its one of my favorite Resident Evils of all of them so far. I like how you are able to become all of these charters that all have different stories and different guns, and don't get me in to the movies. I have every movie. I just love the movies and how they are taking characters of the games and merging them into the movies. To continue with achievements I hated trying to find all the emblems in the game.
To Mike, Resident Evil is actually a fun game and of course so is Halo. I think that Halo will always be my favorite though, and for sure Far Cry 3 is one of my favorites this year with tigers and bears and other animals attacking you. At first I was kinda nervous to buy Far Cry 3 because I thought it was another poor excuse of Skyrim. I am glad I bought it now because I love hunting pirates and animals and getting inked (tattooed). I defiantly always like getting my game on.
i actually just got done playing some far cry 3 and i am just like you when you say that you are an achievement junky because whenever i get a game i try to go threw and get as many as the achievements as i can and so far i have 40 out of the 50 achievements they give you and i have still yet to get the one where it is kill something with a bow from 70 meters away and i use the bow all the time. i have gone threw and got all the hunter quests and all the wanted posters so now its on to getting more achievements.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy you're enjoying the game! Since my last comment, I have just Ada Wong's campaign to finish. So far, hers reminds me the most of the original Resident Evils; the creepy factor and puzzle solving is what gets me! Glad to hear there are other people out there who appreciate Resident Evil for what it and what it has become over the years. And yes, I have found maybe 25 emblems between all four campaigns, can't wait to hunt for the rest... I just picked up Resident Evil: Retribution and I'm loving it. I hear, there will be one more movie with Mila as Alive to bring this "era" of the movies to an end, and if you've seen Retribution you must be waiting for the final battle! Then, supposedly, the movies may take a turn and follow new characters and new plot lines. I'm okay with this, I feel like they've taken us as far as they can with Alice.
ReplyDeleteI defninently am a gamer junkie too. I love to get the achievements, especially on far cry three. I got the game for Christmas but haven’t finished it. I had Far Cry 2 and it was great. There are so many achievement s to get its crazy. I can’t believe someone could get them all.
