Today, instead of going for one hard achievement, I've decided to go for 5 of the most ANNOYING achievements I've ever unlocked in my 15 years of hunting them. If you can think of another achievement similar to the ones here, let me know below! I might end up giving them a shot too (or not, may need to preserve my mental in the near future lol)

Was that dead rising music playing during the ad break?

[@chickenwings6172]

Through the fire and the flames on expert. I did that Halo Achievement in like an hour.

[@daasbuffy]

I would love to see you do a vid on what achievements that you feel are easy but have a confusingly low percentage. Because not all of your viewers want to see you suffer (at least all of the time).

[@ythiro24]

remember when you played l4d2 on realism there is a mod to make it easy

[@true_drew_]

The way Snam smiles through all pain is the real achievement

[@TH3V01D]

I honestly think it's a problem.

[@DavidGibbs-hf4vf]

Mans got hella smile too 😂🎉

[@squinqz8bp230]

Yeah I literally am on the verge of throwing my controller at the slightest inconvenience whereas he loses a whole days worth of progress and is like "alright, better try again! 😊"

[@YazYaro]

Fun fact, you could also just stack the barrels next to the hoop and drop it in for the Deus Ex achievement

[@Someguyhere111]

Sounds like a Deus ex Machina

[@Snamwiches]

LOL WAIT I NEVER KNEW THIS

[@cagethelonewolf]

That's boring

[@Jimmyvdpost]

Thats how i did it

[@brandonhainstock2928]

LOL

[@GrieverSSBU]

One of my good friends passed away last year. This achievement is something we were trying to get before he passed away. Didn't realize it wasn't in the MCC. I bet he'd have a laugh about that.

[@Snamwiches]

Sorry for your loss man, glad you made some good memories though

[@GrieverSSBU]

@@Snamwiches thanks, Snam

[@aetherace8775]

I could literally *hear* the game audio every time you tried for "If They Came to Hear me Beg" "Stay low, let me draw the heat. Just deliver that package" "There's our destination, six. Pillar of Autumn. Race you to her" *sound of shields breaking and bones snapping as you miss the elite and hit the ground* ... "Stay low, let me draw the heat. Just deliver that package"

[@devinloew7681]

This achievement was definitely suffering when I got it all those years ago

[@ja87son]

It got me doing it over and over and over until I was dumbfounded when I finally got it, like I was hypnotized or something lol

[@Mahinskerrr]

Never realized the first achievement was never in MCC, that could have saved me a lot of wasted time wondering why I never unlocked it 😅

[@Snamwiches]

I remember trying it day one when the Reach DLC dropped because I assumed it’d be there too 😅

[@LoneRanger4412]

It was some event IIRC

[@epicphail2926]

[@king300h4]

Agreed!

[@hi_im_icy9086]

100 like and I agree

[@SendReinforcements]

The most difficult part of “If they came to hear me beg” was that you couldn’t use equipment to reach the elite and couldn’t touch them prior to assassinating them…so if you held the sprint button just a little bit too long (or jet pack if you tried to do this on the mission with the tower) or you collided with them before performing the execution…no achievement. I killed that elite several times before finally finally got the achievement. I had to look up why I wasn’t getting it to learn about the extra requirements.

[@smeissner328]

Dang, I never knew there were additional requirements! I was trying to 100% Reach shortly after it came out. I made around 100 attempts and landed the assassination twice, but didn't get the achievement. Figured it was bugged and gave up :(

[@TuffMelon]

Its not the collision that screws it, it's just that the fall is only JUST enough to kill you, so if you land on the enemy then the fall wasn't going to kill you. Basically, the backstab has to save you from a fall that would normally kill you, and landing on an enemy (or even backstabbing when your trajectory would mean landing on an enemy) means the fall no longer kills you. If you kiss their neck on the way down but don't actually 'land' on them, the game lets it through still.

[@krackergrit]

That achèvement took me 2 months to get lol

[@SendReinforcements]

@@krackergrit I spent a week and a half of afternoons after school just throwing myself off that damn cliff to get that achievement lol, but when I finally got it it was the single most exciting thrill I’ve gotten out of a video game.

[@liamwales4633]

I worked on the console version of Goat Sim Me and the QA tester drove ourselves to madness testing for flappy goat every other week 😅 Also going for a 100% run is surprisingly fun, especially with the in-situ mutation system we put in

[@jakemaas7806]

We are now at a point where flappy goat cannot just be described as a flappy bird parody but where the concept of the game has to be actually explained. I can always count on you to drop existential bombs on me during my lunch break thanks snam!

[@LaurenPebble]

Ikr I was shook by that

[@Snamwiches]

Yeah dude Flappy bird is like 10 years old now so I wasn’t sure haha, my back went out just explaining it in the video

[@oklimbo]

It's crazy how hard it is not to take for granted how naturally fighting games come to someone who plays a lot. I'm always wondering if there's a critical misunderstanding of something fundamental that the games themselves just don't think to explain.

[@Snamwiches]

I feel like a lot of the skill gap comes from game/character knowledge and muscle memory. Two things that are gained from just playing a lot, and very hard to obtain when going from new game to new game like me haha

[@oklimbo]

@@Snamwiches it's definitely got a transferable skill bias from genre familiarity in my experience. The people I know who enjoy playing fighting games can pick up and learn the basics other games in the genre with an uncanny ease, because the foundation is generally consistent. As someone who loves fighting games it's always a bit of a hard pill to swallow seeing people less comfortable with the genre struggle, realizing there is a missed opportunity for the game to bridge the gap. A LOT of our intra-community discourse is focused on how to build the scene and what ways are/aren't effective at giving new players a foothold to build the foundational skills to see the beauty of the games and fall in love with the genre. Not to make a mountain of it, cuz I definitely get that it's such a tangential part of this video, let alone your gaming interests out of this context. It's just interesting to see a truly "casual" perspective. And knowing that just having a fighting game inclined friend to explain it in broader gaming terms could have made it so much simpler, it's mildly frustrating to think the games themselves could do a much better job filling in for that friend in a situation like this. Fighting game devs recently have made a lot of efforts in regard to accessibility and reaching new players, but they still have a ways to go to ever be mainstream on the level they were in the past. It's just sometimes seeing this makes me wonder if they consult or focus test with actual new players to get their solutions. Sorry for the long winded reply, but hope I explained the sentiment reasonably. Been enjoying your content since the algorithm decided to start blasting me with it a few weeks ago btw haha

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

@@oklimbo I personally think with that MK achievement it comes down to one thing: A lot of fighting game tutorials are straight up awful. They ask you to do these insanely long combos that you will never see in a real fight because the opponent is not going to just stand there and let you start them, much less finish them. The devs simply go "oh this can combo into this, I guess this can be a combo tutorial" without realizing just how fun, satisfying or strategic any of these combos actually are to do.

[@SA80TAGE]

"I'm always wondering if there's a critical misunderstanding of something fundamental that the games themselves just don't think to explain." - You mean like juggling, whiff punish, knowing frame counts of specific moves and frames of recovery, etc. Not much fighting games have explained these fundamentals to new players, unless you specifically go looking for these statistics. Tekken fight lab is great for this, as well as its replays, which will pause and let you know what you did wrong or what you could've done better. Back in the day you had to learn all this yourself with no help or guidance at all though.

[@oklimbo]

@@SA80TAGE I understand all of that, but it's specifically with combo trials where they show you the examples that I'm confused. The example shows what it looks like and the input display tells you what to press. It's just hard to empathize with the exact hang ups someone might be encountering when you have fighting game experience under your belt, especially in vod form.

[@silentCaim]

I saw the thumbnail goat and I instantly knew it was for for the Flappy Goat trophy lol (Strategy that worked for me: get as close as possible to the in game tv so that you have the minigame on full screen. I got it in a few tries like this, after hours of suffering)

[@ajurado800]

I enjoy the format change to having a variety of games. For me personally, I think the sweet spot is doing 2-3 games but keeping the long-ish (say 15-20 min) length. But I also like the longer, single-game focused videos, so if you wanted to switch it up depending on what you're enjoying, that's great for me.

[@Snamwiches]

The currently plan is to do longer achievements/challenges mainly and sprinkle something like this in every so often too. 2-3 games is interesting, maybe I’ll be able to find some games that have achievements long enough where that’s viable

[@tythompson4794]

For the first time, I can finally say I have an achievement that snamwiches has as well. The MK11 tutorial was a nightmare, even coming from an MK lover myself. Now that MK1 is out, I find the combos and tutorial for that game infinitely easier.

[@cptcarbomb]

I think you should go for the sun station trophy in outer wilds that one was MUCH harder for me to get personally. Love the new style of video

[@Snamwiches]

We actually did that one after flappy goat haha, the VOD for this stream should be up this weekend over on the VOD channel! (Along with Metro finally lol)

[@cptcarbomb]

@@Snamwiches god gamer snam continuing to fail at disappointing

Ooh, really love this idea! Seeing you bang your head against a singular game's hardest achievement is always fun, but seeing a couple of different games like this with shorter achievements is also very enjoyable :)

[@Snamwiches]

Thanks man! I’m glad people are enjoying some of the new stuff alongside the hard achievement vids :)

[@satansshadow218]

Glad to see I actually have a couple of these (halo and mk11). Another suggestion is some of the final fantasy x achievements dodging lightning, chocobo race and chests, and the chocobo training come to mind. I think you need to do them to unlock the ultimate weapons for some characters.

[@WithTheDawn]

Nice one Snams, fun concept. I think ones like this every now and then mix things up pretty well. I still have nightmares about that damn Flappy Goat as well, got it eventually, but my sanity never recovered...

[@BiracialGodBaby]

I remember getting the achievement in Halo 5 where you solo the campaign on legendary with some skulls active and I remember it being so annoying. It took me maybe a week and almost had to restart after the AI teammates got glitched and permanently stuck on an elevator almost at the end of the game. It almost broke me but by some miracle the game decided to correct itself and my progress was saved

[@4jfoxstar180]

seeing the "if they came to hear me beg" achievement again from reach is giving me some excelent ptsd thank you snam

[@Lunethreks]

Good job on all the achievement snam! It's awesome seeing all these little achievements being done as well as the crazy big ones you've done in the past. That in mind, I don't know where to submit ideas for hard achievements, but one I did a while ago that you reminded me of here was deus ex mankind divided. A while ago I did a "I never asked for this" pacifist run while completing all side quests. Having seen some of the madness you've done historically I'm sure this is easily within your abilities, though I'm not certain I'm in the right place to submit this and I'm sure you have a million other achievements you're thinking about going for as well. Thanks for the awesome video and best of luck on the achievement hunting dude.

[@OntarioGuy430]

The Halo assassination achievement was super fun for me - I just kept launching of that cliff - as soon as you said that achievement - I smiled.

[@Lyander25]

Not gonna lie, seeing more of these vids would be fun. Easier to find particularly funny achievements that won't require intensive commitment to a specific game, though in a way a lot of those can be fun to see you build towards too.

[@slicksilver9441]

Its been a couple of months since ive watched snam....now i can binge a few vids from snam!

[@BigMac87963]

Remember spending several frustrating hours on flappy goat, and eventually gave up. Came back months later and did it just for fun, and got it on the first try. Ended up getting the platinum thanks to that, and I learned that sometimes the hardest achievements/trophies will come to you even if you don’t try for them

[@brandonhainstock2928]

lol thats def me playing batman arkham city. after actually trying hard and failing over and over, gave up, picked it up again after a couple years then beat all the bosses in one attempt just screwing around for fun xD

[@BrawlerClaws67]

As someone with well over 300 hours in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, I can totally understand how the hardest achievement in a fighting game is the tutorial combos.

[@slayerone1226]

I knew before this video started "if you came to hear me beg" would be on the list. The name of that achievement isnt a reference to the elite its a reference to how the game will reduce you to BEGGI G it to play ball and let you get the achievement. Because even when you land the assasination sometimes the game just goes "nope sorry doesnt count"

[@TuffMelon]

Best part about the Reach one is that it calculates the impact on the enemy as part of the fall distance. With that jump you can land on an enemy and survive. So even if you get the backstab, if your arc was too wide it won't count because the game knows you would have landed on the enemy and lived. Took me like 3 'successes' before one counted because of that back in the day.

[@manray7]

Watching Snams repeatedly yeet his master chief ass off a cliff over and over again for our amusement, classic Snams! Keep up the great work my guy!

Thanks for your uploads snam. You always brighten my day. Laying in my bed just chilling and watching your videos it bring a smile to my face. Thank you❤

[@Shadowlief]

One of the ones that was more difficult than it had any business being was an achievement in Stray that required you to avoid any damage in an encounter with these annoying jumping leech enemies. It wasnt absurdly difficult, but it took me longer than the speedrun of the game.

[@thunderbird7020]

“There’s our destination Six. The Pillar of Autumn”

[@HandmadeGoose97]

The fact that a trophy/ plat hunter did "they came to hear me beg" first try right in front of you 😏😏😏

[@riclate2013]

That first achievement did make a comback in mcc for a time as a challenge. It was called "Because You Begged" you got a special helmet for completing the challenge. I believe it was called the Mr Chief helmet. It was kinda bugged because you could preform it perfectly but the challenge wouldn't register. Took me about 2 hours and multiple times managing to actually perform the jump only for it not to register.

[@fancyultrafresh3264]

Excellent use of Bully OST for the basketball trophy

[@corydirk1512]

That Halo: Reach achievement took me hours. Carters and Emile’s lines are still burned into my brain

[@swiggite-shogun3331]

The Dead Rising music in the sponsor was a great touch

[@PillzmansFox]

The reason why the mk11 tutorial one is so rare is because people dont care about the turorial in fighting games, pros learn the game, make tutorials online and people watch those instead, also the combos are almost always unviable so theres no point learning them. Also it's ray-den

[@bandersnatchbeauty9692]

Snam with the sponsored finger guns got me. 😂

[@nanosum1]

Yes sir that Reach achievement was insane, I remember trying it over and over and over. Shit I remember like all of my friends getting it before me and I was stuck doing it forever.

[@scmroman]

I remember spending HOURS on my 360 to get If They Came To Hear Me Beg when I was like 12 or 13. Fast forward to when I finally got an Xbox One, and I ended up getting it on like my 3rd or 4th try on MCC. It didn't count but I just had to give it a few tries everytime I played that level.

[@jishan6992]

Love this idea, you should do more

[@Happy_Slappy2_0]

Halo Reach's assasination from a jump off the cliff achievement was probably the most agonizing to get, I remember that so vividly, but I did manage to 100% halo Reach's story achievements and got some of the misc achievements that can only be acquired through the story mode since I never had Xbox live growing up.

[@LimpNoodle420]

There is a really easy way to do the deep impact achievement, basically what you wanna do is once one of the islands get lifted into space by a tornado you'll want to fly under it and the impact of it coming back down will put you directly under the current if you position yourself correctly

[@pugwhisperer7211]

How about that one achievement in the game called Limbo where you cant die more then 5 times thrpugh 1 playthrought From what ive seen only 0.25%ppl have it (at least on xbox)

[@smellyfries1834]

Whilst it's not a achievement itself, it's a step for an achievement. I tried to 100% Red Dead Redemption 2 a while back because I had nothing better to do for the past few days, so I started scouting out animals, collecting plants and so on. roughly 80% through, I realized something, I never examined all of the animals on Guarma during the campaign, and I was currently in the prolog. Meaning I basically wasted all those weeks playing the game up until this point, only to realize that I failed due not examining animals on a mission arc that lasts less than an hour if you speedrun it.

[@pineapple599]

You don’t have to get all the animals to get the “100%” it’ll even say in completion 100% as long as you do the hunter challenges and the other things on the list. And you can always do another play through to get the skin and study all the animal Achievement

[@-42-47]

Dont worry about the MK trials, I don't know about the difficulty of those in particular but fighting game trials tend to get hard even for the best. And you got it eventually so great job dude.

[@gwarriorfromhell]

That Flappy Goat achievement was a royal pain. I set that as my Xbox background image for so long after finally getting it.

That Achievement is actually bugged in Xbox 360 Halo Reach. Successfully do it another 30 times and you might get the unlock, if you're lucky.

[@HelpTheWretched]

Half-Life 2 had one of those basketball achievements too ("Two Points", worth two points) and it wasn't so bad, except you only have time for a couple tries before a cutscene begins, so I had to reload a few times. That reminds me, I heard about the garden gnome achievement in Episode 2 and decided to get it on my first playthrough. Good thing too, because I would have never attempted that if I had known how much of a pain it would be.

[@Snamwiches]

I’ve heard of the gnome one and honestly might just make an entire vid on it if I ever get around to it haha

[@UnCreativeDeconstructionism]

[@cultistofo1915]

I remember only spending one day to get the “if they came to hear me beg” achievement I mostly just turned on KZbin to pass the time and started grinding attempts.

[@lucidwanders]

I love this idea for a video and would definitely want a few follow ups! Ive been suggesting Deus Ex to other achievement/trophy hunters and Im so glad to see it get a little representation here. As far as other annoying achievements, Guilty Gear Strive is an excellent fighting game but Messiah Will Not Come is such a pain and Texas Chainsaw Massacre has one for opening 3 exits in a single match, Fuse, Valve, and turn off generator, super annoying when solo.

[@Snamwiches]

I’ll keep these in mind for next time!
