Red Faction: Armageddon - 1000/1000GS
I found this game to be quite entertaining but not that hard to be honest. Some of the weapons that you use in game are pretty cool and the fact that you can buy unlimited ammo cheats  for what ever weapon you're carrying makes it a little easier on 'insane'...

Finished Duke Nukem Forever for 1000/1000. Very disappointing game, numerous platforming bits ruin the game. Also makes me motion sick. You have to play it twice to get all the achievements, which sucks. I'm glad that it's all over so that I don't have to play it any more.

Just completed Alice Madness Returns for 1000/1000.
It was a huge grind in my view. The game is just way too long, and it feels like it just keeps on going. They really could have made it tighter and 5 time shorter. The chapters have no structure and have no beginning/middle/end. It just middle all the way through with mini boss after mini boss.
The combat was very clunky, and Alice would often freeze for no reason and I'd have to press the dodge button to get out of the freeze. And at other times, the game would not register my fire button and frequently missed shooting altogether. The auto-lock aiming was very haphazard as well and you could never tell who it will lock onto. Being attacked from off screen also sucked.
The platforming was super annoying because the camera worked against you and it was extremely difficult to judge depth. Plus you have to jump onto invisible platforms making it doubly annoying. There's a difference between difficult platforming and annoying platforming, and Alice was definitely the latter.
And you also have to download and complete the original American McGee's Alice to get the full 1000/1000, very unfair in my view. They should have made it so that the DLC was above an beyond the 1000 and not part of the 1000. DLC code is included in the game though, so no extra cost if you buy the original.
The graphics were top notch and beautifully presented, voice acting was great too. It started out really great, but even before the first chapter was over, you get the feeling that it's way too long.

So, I decided to finish off a few games:
I'm so glad that is over. Sure, the game had a good concept but it was poorly developed.
Yes, I just played the game for the points then traded it in.
Just another fun game to play.
After seeing X-Men: First Class, I wanted to play an X-Men game but since I completed X-Men: Origins Wolverine, this was my only offline option.

So why did you finish the game?

Good question. I think I'm very mildly OCD, and I like to finish what I start. I'm not a perfectionist by any means, but I must be a completionist. I hate leaving attainable achievements on the table - if it's possible for me to get, I have the urge to get that achievement.
I still feel a tinge of regret not being able to get all the achievements on DMC4 and missing those last few coins on Naruto Rise of a Ninja (damn collectibles!). And I know I'll never get any of those hard achievements for Guitar Hero and Rock Band.
I always look at the achievement list to see if the game can be 1000ed before I start, very stupid way to play a game I know, but that's who I am. Like now, I looked at Red Faction Armageddon vs Shadows of the Damned, and RF:A had multiplayer achievements that looked hard to get, so I picked Shadows (and enjoying it).

I have 1mpr3gn4t0r's problem also, tbh I couldn't give a stuff about Gamerscore or anything. However the actual achievements themselves, I need 100% for every game or it just feels...incomplete, it feels like I can't put the game to rest unless it's finished. Not only that but I will play a game I love until I hate it just so I can say I got 100% achievements.
Even 0G achievements are essential for me. Tbh I wish MS would take away the point values for all the achievements, achievements should be seen more as achievements and not just 'points'.
This is why I know my lesson, if I want to play Guitar Hero, I will play it on a throwaway account XD Also this is why I hate online achievements, servers are beginning to shut down rendering achievements impossible. The least the developers could do is change the requirements of the achievement so they can be gotten offline.
Btw 1mpr3gn4t0r, how come you can't just go back to Naruto and get the coins? Is it glitched or something?

It does feel quite long and drags on a fair bit throughout each chapter. I'm only at chapter 3 and I've played for close to 5 hours already. I didn't find any of the platforming difficult though and the combat is quite fun which is funny because I was expecting it to be extremely repetitive based off some people's impressions.
The PC version didn't even come with the original Alice or achievements  . The achievements would really add a fair bit to this kind of game with all the collectables. It feels completely pointless in the PC version because the bottles do absolutely nothing.

I actually went back a few months after I first gave up and spent two days looking for the last few remaining coins and I didn't find any, LOL. It's one of those collectibles where there's no indication that you've actually nabbed it before, so when you re-visit the location, you don't know if you've grabbed it, or if it's hidden well and still there. There are several locations and no indication on how many in each area you've collected, just the grand total. The recommendation on the achievement forums is to not collect any coins (which is hard to do) until you've progressed enough in the story to have all the necessary areas unlocked and skills upgraded, and then collect them all.
Yeah, I may re-start the game one day, maybe during the summer break. But the game also have multiplayer achievements, which I'll never be able to get, so even if I get all the coins, I won't have 1000, so...

You could try boosting the multiplayer ones. Although if I remember correctly it's a pretty big grind to get them.

So what would have been your worst grind for an achievement? I remember grinding to get to level 50 in Shadow Complex, and playing Just Cause 2 until getting the 75% complete achievement. I did a fair bit of grind to try and get rare drops in Too Human (and I didn't get the drops, so no achievement). 1000 miles on Dirt took a long time too.

I wouldn't say grind but I invested a lot of time getting Medal Master in Hydro Thunder. I was really sick for the week that I spent getting it so I had a lot of free time . It's my proudest achievement so far.

Good question man, on my new account I wouldn't say I've had to 'grind' anything so far, thankfully as every achievement has been tolerable. When I had a PS3 though I got all the pigeons in GTA IV which was gay lol
I can see myself grinding Gears of War and Assassin's Creed when I get around to playing them. Actually atm I am playing ODST and I have to get 200,000 points on the firefight (Like horde from gears) levels. And since I'm not that great at Halo I have to play it on easy, and man it takes like 2 hours solo doing one level...sigh. How did you do it ThunderCurls? And how did you do Endure?

Yeah, Firefight on ODST was tough, but I enjoyed it heaps because I did with my best mate. It took like 2 ~ 3 hours per map so we were only crossing off 1 map per night. I would imagine having more players would make it easier?
Have you got the ODST achievement where you have to do the Highway on Legendary without the Warthogs (where you get the 'goose and 999 rockets each)? My mate and I tried that just with 2 of us, each using two controllers (achievement required 4 players), but we just couldn't do it.
We could help you out with the Firefight if you wanted to do the Highway achievement? Just need one more player to make it four.

Just completed Shadows of the Damned for 1000/1000. Pretty cool game, baddies reminds me of Ninja Gaiden, controls are definitely Resident Evil, and the use of light/dark reminded me of Alan Wake.
Not being able to skip cutscenes sucked, especially on Hard difficulty because I died a lot, and had to watch the same cutscenes multiple times. Difficulty achievements don't stack, so you have to play it three times if you want all the achievements. First play through took a while getting all the collectibles and miscellaneous achievements, but the 2nd and third runs were pretty quick 5hours each maybe? Did the final run in one day, starting in early afternoon, with breaks.
Dialogue and one liners are hilarious, even on the third playthrough, I still laughed on few occasions.

I really wish it gave some incentive to replay the game like a new game plus. It was still an awesome game though. I played it on hard too but I found it pretty easy except for Act 4-1. I'm not sure if that Act scales with the difficulty but it was pretty difficult because the Big Boner took so long to reload between shots and you had to watch the cutscene again if you died.

Na I don't have any of those vidmaster ones yet, and yeah man sounds like heaps of fun! I have beaten that mission on legendary on solo, but I needed the Gauss cannon to take out the banshees, going to be trouble trying to hit those with rockets
And I'm afraid I don't know anyone who can help, I know IHateFrasierCrane could help but his been really busy lately I think.
And errmm guys is the Big Boner a gun or something? XD

Lol yup. The game's sidekick Johnson (an ex-demon talking skull) turns into Garcia's handgun called the Boner. Later in the game it upgrades to the Hot Boner and then the Big Boner which is basically an extended version.
