I beat FFT without ever grinding. I only did story missions and would quit if a random mission popped.

I got all 180 emblems in Sonic Adventure 2: Battle without using any cheats, along with an all S-rank neutral chaos chao. Took ~280 hours spread across close to a year.
I also completed the pokedex in XY but thats pretty trivial nowadays

I got into Brutal Legend's multiplayer so hard that Brad Muir actually reached out to me and asked my opinion on some balance changes.
This was when the game was only on console. I played it enough that my name made it's way around quite a few forums from it.
The game had no official "guide" to it's units. so I made an HP guide for all the units in the game. Keep in mind this is a fucking RTS so this took several days and some friends to let me beat the fuck out of them basically.
When I played online I never picked my faction. Always played as Random because I enjoyed all three factions equally. The only reason I stopped was a fault with the net code. In a 1v1 game, if 1 player used the Xbox dashboard to leave the game, that player was awarded a win. A tactic I refused to use.

I reached all the way to Master on the League of Legends ranking system totally by myself in less than 200 ranks total during season 6.
It was really satisfactory and felt that all the time i spend on League was worth for that feat.
I have to admit that after that my interest on the game started to decrease, till this day when i hardly play on a regular schedule as i used to.

When Twilight Princess was new, I was pretty proud of beating it without zero cheats (there weren't any, after all). ¯_(ツ

Beat Resident Evil 2 without dying on my first playthrough. As a kid it felt like such an accomplishment.

My stubborn refusal to use guides for puzzle games such as Braid and Fez, even when stuck.
doing absolutely everything that could be done in F-Zero GX, including seeing every single interview frome every pilot (for those that don't know, there's 15 interview questions for each pilot after beating Grand Prix but only one can be heard each time you beat it and some are difficulty exclusive)

Still being #4 most popular Mario Maker in the world, and the only USA person in the top 10. I was #1 at one point! Fell away from it pretty early on though, before the patches with new features that came later.

I have an ongoing game of ballz.
My score is 1536 at the moment.
It's pointless because I've cheated a couple times when I've nearly lost.
Each go takes aaaaages

this EASILY takes the cake, this is so fucking insane.
I have it too but I used the crater trick which trivializes the task....

Absolutely pathetic part deux
I beat Elite Beat Agents in its hardest mode (DIVAS mode right?) which I don't think I have done that with any other game. Funny enough, after beating it like a month or two later, wanted to replay some stages and on a normal difficulty, struggled with them.

I'll dial this up to 11; I have everyone's Celestial, fully upgraded, and everyone has unlocked every single node in a sphere grid with only +4/+40 nodes (didn't replace all the +200 HP nodes though). It was an exercise in tedium that took hundreds of hours and is UTTERLY pointless because at no point do you ever need a completely stat-maxed party. And, best of all, I didn't even bother trying to beat all the Dark Aeons or Penance, so even for the battles where stat-maxing is required, I just ignored them. What the fuck was the point of all that? What a complete waste of so much damn time.
Beating Jedi Outcast on hard without using console cheats, something I only did somewhat recently as an adult.
It was kind of a big deal for me. I spent a ton of time playing Outcast when I was younger just messing around in the console to spawn enemies and do all sorts of fun stuff, but I never actually sat down and beat it legit because it was pretty hard.
Going back to it as an adult and doing it was pretty satisfying.

bro op said pointless this isn't pointless
i would love to break down a game to its core
I got the Order of the Silver Wossname in Kingdom of Loathing without initially keeping count of the number of War Hippies/Frat Warriors at first. I just guessed where I was at when the message changed for one side & got lucky.
Here's the criteria for earning the Wossname, for some context. Short version is that you have to kill an equal number of enemies on each side of a war so that only the boss survives for each.
If you wipe out one side before the other, that side wins the war, but if you summon the pirates at that point, you, & you alone, win the war between both factions, & you get a pretty nice stat-boosting item as your reward.

I think I was the one who found this glitch in Super Mario 64, which involves a hidden floor underneath the merry-go-round in Big Boo's Haunt. Granted, I was using a GameShark jump cheat, but I don't believe anyone knew it was there before.

I 100% GTA San Andreas. Loaned my PS2 to a 'friend' who deleted the save game and then I 100% it again when I got it back. Madness but I loved that game. Now when I play it I get a few missions in before I quit. Doing it twice must have broke me lol
I got Platinum on Bloodborne and its expansion. It was a very fun and satisfying achievement and I'm proud of it.
I also 100% Assassins Creed 2 which pretty much burned me out on Assassins Creed.
And I 100% Bravely Default, people are probably gonna call me nuts for doing it but I loved going through the routines, maxing out every class and doing every boss.

Got a DK keychain from Nintendo at a videogame expo in Prague thanks to stylin on all the other players in a Smash Bros. tournament.
"but Pillar, that's pretty good"
Uh, it sounds good, but it's not. Nintendo's presence in the Czech Republic is a complete joke (especially how they price their way out of the market) and 99.9999999999998% of the people here have never played a single round of any Smash game. Meanwhile, asshole me grew up in the States where Nintendo is the norm and I've been playing the series from the beginning... but I still rock that key chain baby like a true champ.

I caught all of the original 150 pokemon in Pokemon red. I can not tell you how long that took.
I did it because this one guy in a building was like do it and I'll give you something. I thought for sure it was gonna be something grand.
It wasn't. But damn it, I did it!

Lud and Zallen, ds2. Broke three swords while going at them, killed the last one with my shield with just a sliver of hp left.
I think that was my gaming prime.
Also beating a top 3 team in the eash on nhl 20xx with my friends. Since we had enforcer and power forward builds we just fooled around and ended up beating them. Injured a couple. They were quite angry and sent us nasty messages afterwards, made it even more fun.

So what did you do about the ridiculously obscure puzzles in Fez that took whole community efforts to brute-force the solutions to? Just leave them unsolved?
