| Does wasting 10+ hours beating the crap out of Yiazamat (Finaly Fantasy XII) counts as a sad achievement? It doeas at least for my social life... |

| My saddest gaming experience was while playing Creatures, that experimental game where you had to take care of creatures equipped with a neural network which made them able to learn things. One of my creatures got pregnant but was also very sick. Her health stats were dropping and I was hoping she would be able to lay her egg in time. She only had 3% life over when she finally did. Afterwards, she laid down next to the egg, closed her eyes, and died. Minutes later, the egg hatched, and a cute little creature came out. His mother's body still laid there. He crawled around it, uttering the same sounds the whole time. He then crept up against her and went to sleep. I stopped playing the game then. |

| Oh geez. That's horrible. I forgot to mention my favorite accomplishment on GTA Vice City. With my girlfriend at the time, she was busy yelling at me on the phone, for something. Rather than hanging up, because I knew I'd get shit for it later, I got some liquor, turned on GTA Vice City and had the volume on my tv off while I was playing and drinking. I remember she was yelling at me on the phone for three hours and I was barely listening, having a blast. This is definitely one of the few times in my life I'd actually gotten *really* drunk. So, I was playing Vice City and all I kept doing was attacking pedestrians after the cops were after me. Once I was drunk, I remember repeatedly getting caught by the cops with 1 and 2 stars. I'd like go to make a sharp turn, crash straight into the wall of a building and I couldn't turn around quickly; it was absolutely hilarious. To this day, she still has no clue I was drinking and playing a video game while she was screaming at me. In conclusion, GTA + alcohol = fun, despite screaming girlfriend. So, yes, while I don't condone driving while impared, I DO condone and recommend driving in GTA while impared.  |

Quote: Maybe it's just me, but I always though Luck of the Fryish was sadder, at the end when they're zooming away from Fry's nephew's grave, and he lets the 7 leaf clover fall back in it. But Jurassic Bark is definitely a close second. I choose, for one, to meet Him face to face. No faithless servant frightened from my task, but ready when the Lord of the harvest calls; And therefore, with all reverence, I would say, Let God do His work, we will see to ours.

Quote: Did you fill out the entire bestiary, including the 15 of each Mandrake (which requires that you clear out two huge areas of monsters just to get one of each to appear) and all 150+ rare monsters (which require all sorts of retarded hackery to find)? I did. In fact, I did absolutely everything FFXII has to offer (Yiazmat, Omega, Bestiary, etc) just to get the highest ranking in the hunt club... and you get jack squat for doing it! But I can officially say it's the most I've ever geeked out on a game, and the closest I will ever come to playing an MMO after having quit Ultima Online in high school! ---------------- A story, no matter how well written, is not a game idea!

Quote: That's kinda sad too, but it's more bittersweet sad than depressing. Fry realizes his brother really did love him at the end, enough to name his son after him and to give him the clover that would elevate him to fame and fortune rather than using it selfishly for himself. It's sad, but there's still a silver lining. With Seymour, Fry comes to the totally wrong conclusion about his dog who would spend his lifetime waiting for Fry only for Fry to refuse to resurrect his dog thinking Seymour didn't miss him. There is no silver lining in that episode. |

| This thread has made Kotaku. That's the AU link, so some people may get a 404, not sure though. It's interesting to read some of their comments. [Exploding Studios] | [Twitter] |

| Wow, I guess that's another achievement for me, although not so game related. EDIT: Never mind, they just linked to this page, not the whole thread. I still suck. Whew... |

| The only game I really geeked out on was FFVII. Here are some of my accomplishments: Getting 50+ 1/35th soldiers. I figured if you got over 35 of them, you would get a Soldier as a character. You get them as a prize at Speed Square about 1/10th of the time. So yes, I played that stupid game in speed square over 500 times. That was about 10 years ago. Here's the scary thing: For old time's sake, I played the game again a couple years ago. When I played Speed Square, I still knew the EXACT location and time that every enemy popped out at. It is permanently burned into my brain. Breeding a perfect chocobo. I don't mean just a gold chocobo, I mean a perfect-stat chocobo. I wanted to beat that damn black chocobo rider, but even when I maxed out my stats his were still higher. Defeating Ruby and Emerald Weapon. I actually didn't know about the airetam thing with Emerald Weapon when I beat him, which made my victory all the more glorious when I learned about it. Getting a perfect-stat character. Not easy. Mastering a materia. Again, not easy. |

| Straudos, you miss the point. This is about game achievements (or, moments in games) that made you, the player, feel sad. |

| Got another one. The end of Call of Duty 4. Spoiler below. <spoiler> Having the dying Cpt's pistol thrown over to me to end it. Then looking back to only to find a medic is failing at resuscitating him. I actually felt genuine respect for that guy. Mainly because he always put his life on the line to get the job done, but also because he had the maddest moustache I've ever seen. </spoiler> [Exploding Studios] | [Twitter] |

| Never done it but heard about it: Desert Bus In the never-released Penn and Teller game there was a mini-game to drive 8 hours (in real-time, actually taking 8 hours) and upon reaching the end you scored a single point. The road was curved so you couldn't tape down the controller to go and do something else. If you crashed anytime during the drive, you were towed back to the start, also in real time. After finishing the 8 hours, you would be asked if you wanted to drive back for another point, if you didn't the game would end. ============================= Blog Projects |

| Yeah Creatures brought up some memories that were on the boundry of incredibly sad (or super frustrating). My prime example would be Drakan: Order of the Flame. That game was an action adventure where you go after you littl' brother who has been kidnapped by some monsters. That game was incredible hard for me (at that age :))! Put countless hours in it just to defeat it on normal mode... just to find out all in the end you can't save your brother from his eternal doom :S. I might have popped a tear or two there! |
