I'm not talking about fighting a "boss", and beating him down. Nor am I talking about doing the same to an entire string of bosses just to "defeat" a game. The victories I'm talking about...

Whether it's defeating an entire game, or just THAT ONE BOSS, or the method you used to take it down, the victory has to be one that brings a smile to your face. One that has you replaying the very moment in your mind... that one final blow... that took that boss down and left a quiet smile on your face and the truly euphoric feeling of victory within your core being for hours (maybe longer). For me it was this...

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney. Case 4. You eventually find out why the original protagonist of the series lost his job. And at fault is one guy who then sought to kill everyone connected to his attempted forgery crime. The only surviving person involved with that is now on trail for the murder of her father. You gather the evidence and not only show she's innocent, but you point out the true culprit. And you think you've won.

But then you find out he's carefully eliminated evidence against him so even if all the facts point to him, the crucial evidence that would've been needed to prove your client innocent and this guy guilty no longer exists.

So this guy stands there on the podium with a smug look on his face. He knows you won't be able to save your client as you don't have the evidence to prove it. That is... until someone else in the courtroom reminds everyone that the court is using a new system for this trial. The smile on this evil guy's face disappears when the one element in the trial that will undo him is mention... Jurists.

Now he's upset. He proclaims jury trials don't belong in the court system and juries aren't smart enough to know the law. He cracks(literally) when he finds out that the one who setup the jury trial was the very lawyer whose career he had ruined seven years prior. His hair becomes messed up and he looks disheveled and ragged. And he's giving you a death glare while he's at it...

And when the verdict of "Not Guilty" is announced, he utterly, comepletely... shatters... like glass. And as this ending plays out on the screens of my DS (before the closing credits), I've got this nice wide smile on my face...

I hope this post wasn't TOO long...

I don't recall any relished victories I've had with a single player game, because the outcome was always predictable (fail and try again, knowing to use a different method, and then repeat until success). All of my proudest acheivements were against other players. One particular moment that I can remember was on SOCOM: Confrontation just last year.

I was in a clan war with other members of my clan, and it was the final round for the war. I was the last one on my team still alive, and there were 5 Mercenaries on the other team that needed to be elimated or our team would lose (suppression). They were trash talking the entire game, camping, etc. So in the last three minutes or so, I was hiding in an upstairs bunker taunting them over the mic (proximity chat) I lured four of them one by one up the stairs by their own game, and got the four kills. The last one was staying downstairs below me in his hiding spot, still talking trash through his headset(going for the draw).

If I didn't kill him, our team would lose, so with 10 or 15 seconds left in the round, I ran downstairs with nothing to lose; machine pistol equipped, ran into the room, and sprayed behind the crates. The first or second bullet caught him with a headshot with one or two seconds left in the game I started screaming trash in the mic over his body after I killed him, and once the teams were back in the lobby, the other clan bounced out without saying a word. I think karma is one of the most satisfying victories you can have online.

EDIT: The trash talking was simply is the spirit of fun (on my end, at least). It had everyone on my team laughing in the end. SOCOM is the only way that I get to spend time with my cousin, and our old friends since everyone has seperated and gone their own ways. It's something we've all been doing since at least 2002. Just a way to get everyone together once in a while and have a good time.

What made the victory even more amusing is that none of us are what you would call 'hardcore' players. For my cousin and I, this was our first night back on SOCOM in several months. So it was rather funny; a team of noobs silencing an alleged "hardcore, high-ranked, game battles clan", in the spirit of a good night. But tbh, I think the most relished part of the entire ordeal was just enjoying the reunion and sharing the laughs with my family and friends.

Ahh, SWIV brings back memories - personally I preffered Silkworm (prequel) but SWIV was pretty good.

For me I think it would be Captive, from about 20 years ago. Captive is a massive game, tens of thousands of levels that can take maybe 2 hours to complete at least. After the first 10 levels you get to a prison planet and have to kill the guards and free yourself. It's such hard work though, kinda like Dungeon Master with robots and modern weapons, but brutally difficult in some areas. It's the game I've played more than any other game, put more hours into that than I care to remember.

GTA4 has a few oafish-grin moments, bagging all 50 seaguls for instance or winning that tricky seaside bike race in Lost n Damned, I find that sort of thing appeals to me these days - playing Red Dead, and only about 1/3rd through it and I'm more interested in doing the challenges, killing 5 bears with a spork etc.

On STORMRISE (Xbox 360), I raped a whole 13 groups of Enforcers (soldiers), 2 Stalkers (mechs), a Commander and 3 Sentinels (Snipers) with just a Rage (a large weak monster), 2 Matriachs (large mechanised Spiders) and a Siren (a tough lower-rank Commander). I was proud of that since that was my first skirmish game on it . There was also a time when I got like a 9 kill streak on Domination on MW2 LIVE form just Quik-Scoping on Karachi (the one with the green-lighted library in the middle). I crapped myself, ended up with 42 for 12, much better than my old usual 3 for 11 odd with my MP5K, now that made me happy.

The best victory I've probably had overall was either completing Bisohock 2 in one day WITHOUT dying on Easy first-time (yayzers), destroying the Unknown MT on Armoured Core: Nexus [Evolution] on the final level with 0005 AP left, or surviving 5 rounds on Der Riese Zombies in a 4-player match with me being the Last Man Standing with just a Barracuda FU-A11 (upgraded Browning) and C-3000-81ATC4325 (upgraded Colt) and Stopping Power...lots of fun, especially when the rounds were 18-22 so it was FREAKING hectic.

I remember one of the guys saying "SSG, look out of the window" since I was 'camping' in the top balcony area of the Teleporter room accessed via the Power zone, and I looked out to see almost 80 zombies running full pelt at me. I had a split second to reload my Barracuda and C-3000 to witness what I thought was my untimely demise of "GAME OVER". Maybe not. It seems the zombies are still almost one-hit KO with the C-3000. Of course then. I run out of grenades for that xD. Whipped out my FU-A11 and the round was over after 30 seconds or so. Last thing I remember? Oh yeah, jumping out in joy wiping the sweat away, and noticing that I threw a grenade which bounced over to me, ending my joy . The game was over after that since they were stuck with just a Colt...still, quite a good victory methinks .

Cod//32 killstreak with a striker and what ever weapons they dropped.

Other than that, Comand & conquer 3 (Xbox live) 3 vs 1, snidy buggers knew each other, Survived 30mins of bombarment, countered killing off the first player closest to me. Survived the next rush, got another player. Didnt survive the third attack, they had already drained my resources, held out for 10 mins of mauling to be destroyed by two remaning juggernauts. Greatest match ive had to date, well at least the most fun.

Completing Shadow of The Beast on Amiga was pretty cool. I used the health cheat because it was ridiculously hard and you could still get stuck by going the wrong way and have to reset the game.

Recently I just completed God of War 3 which was cool. Fighting Hades on Titan difficulty was a good challenge.

My favourite recent game would have to be Resident Evil 4. I really enjoyed finishing it from start to finish and I think its way better than 5.

I always loved using a phoenix down on the ghost train in FF6. I also liked suplexing him with Sabin. I can also remember finally landing the jet in Top Gun for the NES in front of a bunch of friends.

I would say the most memorable moment in a game for me, however, is at the end of Super Metroid when Mother Brain takes you down to one HP and then the metroid you saved in the second game comes in and hooks you up with life and finally sacrifices itself and gives you the most awesome weapon evar. Not really the hardest, but I will always remember it. I had to mow tons of yards as a kid to be able to afford it. (And it was pretty expensive for an SNES game!)

Completing Transport Tycoon from start to 2050

(~40 hours of gameplay)

EDIT: Should probably add that I won as well. Owned everything and no competitors (bought them all out)

Shadow of the beast was such a great looking and surreal game. The music imho was perfect too.


Shame they made it too bloody difficult to get to see all of the game.


I always got killed by this geezer. Always.

Yeah, it did make a revolution in next-gen graphics as of the parallax backgrounds (multi-layer basically). Wiki said it was harder because the frame rate was jumped by 25 when imported to USA, making it harder. As Nomad said, Psygnosis released the health cheat for users so yeah .

Completing Golden Axe with my brother when I was about 6 years old. First game I ever completed!
Co-op games always put a smile on your face; The Warriors was class and Starsky & Hutch was so much fun co-op even though it wasn't technically a great game. I like games where each player has a different role.

Single player games: Mafia and the GTA series. Mafia was such a great story and when I completed San Andreas and GTAIV I couldn't really believe it was over lol epic games.

Quite honestly, and this is not a troll response, I will rarely complete a game if it's even a little bit more challenging than a "normal" skill-based game. If there's a game that's just an average difficulty, like Gears of War, and the boss is 50x harder than any other enemy in the game, then I have a strong feeling that it's a design flaw. I died about 15 times in a row from the last boss on GOW and just didn't bother ever completing it. The same thing happened on Uncharted 2's boss... I died about 5 times in a row and never went back to the game. I still have a good feeling of satisfaction from the game because I made it to the final boss, and game storylines are NEVER enough draw for me to care what happens at the end.

I like challenging games that don't involve dying and replaying over and over and over again. Perhaps my greatest feeling of achievement is completing a game like Picross DS because it's tough on a thinking level rather than reflex and luck.

Completing 7th Guest when I was a young teen was pretty satisfying, because some of the puzzles were pretty tough.

I do indeed agree that a boss shouldnt be too friggin hard.

but i, personally love hard games, which is why i still play WoW, because it is challanging and i LOVE the feeling when u and a bunch of buddies try over and over again to down a boss, and then u do it, u finally down him!!!

same goes when ur playing a game on the lone side, and finally beats thhe game, that feeling is amazing.

i LOVE challanging boss fights in which u dont beat the boss after 1 try, u need to learn and adapt, need to use your skills.
however, if a boss is so hard so u need to cheat then no, I aint playing that game.

I guess that'll make the final FINAL boss from Etrian Odyssey 2: Heroes of Lagaard that much more satisfying to defeat. I hear that this particular boss has an attack that will kill your entire party instantly. In fact, it hits so hard that even if you're using a cheating device such as an Action Replay to give you invulnerability(or God Mode) and infinite health you'll still die...

I got a smile on my face when I beat God of War. And Portal. Becouse that was just so funny with glados just talking there and stuff. GoW just was epic in my opinion! And beating every colossus was the best feeling ever! Just every monster is like a level! Just climbing on them, trying to find the weak spot. The last one was just teh epicest boss ever! So big and epic and epic. Just epic. It was so epic that some other epic is not as epic as that epic thing that was so epic that you wouldn't believe how epic it is.

I always smile when I get to the helicopter in the Bridge Finale or the Rock Consert in Left 4 Dead 2. And ofcourse the Burger Tank level.

Halo 3 was a fail. End of .

Quote: "The end of both campaigns in CoD5:WaW.

The only decent one was the Red Army's one, that made sense instead of standing in the middle of a Japanese arena shouting "Outstanding Marines, out-f'ing-standing", IMHO I wanted that git to die instead of Polonsky, but I couldn't be asked to play it again.

I think completing Modern Warfare 2 was the the best feeling I had, simply because the ending was real, and I believed it, and I even felt it.

Although the old Modern Warfare's ending was much better, but the only thing that brought a slight tear to my eye was when:

The graphics and AI were good, but the storyline wasn't right at all IMO, it just sounded like they wanted the Arbiter to become the new USMC leader and have Sierra 117 die. It didn't make sense to me and I really couldn't feel any sympathy for the characters, let alone the fact that Legendary was freaking impossible, one shot from a Grunt's pistol and you're dead, that costed me the battery holder after I lobbed my controller at full strength down our corridor, dismembering each part of the battery pack. Luckily it didn't turn out like my dad's PS3 controller, he threw it against the wall, the whole bloody thing shattered in half, although the only thing we had to replace was the R2 and L2 buttons, everything else kinda snapped into place.

The funny thing is, I dunno why it was fun, it just is. It's so damn hectic with all the battles going on around you, the ship blowing apart, and you just gunning through, detouring slightly to run down grunts...

My best moment was killing Lord Chaos in Dungeon Master, not very hard, but completing this wonderful game was so fun. Portal was my 2nd best moment, the game was too short but I loved it's atmosphere.

Oi oi thats not very fair, i did have a life, and what little of it spent around my friends on the xbox was on halo or some other coop game.

When you weigh that with what really was me living on the field outside my house, doing whatever we fancied id say it was a pretty good childhood lol. Ive spent a good 8 years messing about on that field, that and extreme manhunt was a scary game when theres 40 odd ppl in darkness in what was quite tall grass. Good times.

for those who have it, command and conquer 3 on xbox360, try beating Ai rush on brutal with two friends. damm near impossible lol

I really do dislike MW2, but I have to admit, the ending of that where you

was very, very satisfying.

Quote: " let alone the fact that Legendary was freaking impossible"


Isn't the description descriptive enough?

Quote: "Tremble as teeming hordes of invincible alien monsters punish the slightest error with instant death... again and again."


Seems like it is to me. And anyway, I didn't find it THAT hard. I played through it with one friend on Legendary and it wasn't all that bad, except for The Ark which was very very hard.

You missed the point. It's the fact that you grew up on FPS shooters instead of gay children's games that makes me sad.

Hmm...video game victory I relish the most?

Defeating this guy, in his first game...



...and rescuing the princess.



In all seriousness, there's not really a game that I've won that I relish the victory the most, although I suppose beating Bowser in Super Mario 64 DS was rather satisfying. I'm a Nintendo freak and don't play many other games.

Nah, kidding. I can imagine you get some flak around hardcore gamers though.

I mean, they have beaten Mario to the ground, but for a reason.

I don't get much flak, actually. That's probably because I never really talk about games though, 'cept for on this forum.

I have played a few games on the 360 and PS3 as well. I really enjoyed playing Halo a few months ago on a friend's 360, although I never managed to get past the first few levels. Aiming with a joystick is nigh unto impossible for me!

But yeah, my favorite consoles ever are by Nintendo, with the 360 being a close second (although I don't own one).

Playing all the way through System Shock 1 was not really a victory, but I did feel a wonderful sense of accomplishment. It's one of the most well-crafted games I've played, and is generally recognised as such, so finishing the game had the same warm, rewarding feeling as finishing, say, a really long, rich novel.

I don't know why this forum is such an anti-Halo forum. I thought the story they made with the trilogy is pretty awesome.

I'm pretty satisfied with my 1750/1750 in Halo 3 and 1345/1345 in The Force Unleashed.

I wouldn't think twice about buying Halo 1+2 for the PC, if Micronazi would just give us the third one.

I'd love to see things from your point of view but I can't get my head that far up my bum.

Oh yeah, pureeing the pope's testicles in Assassin's Creed 2 was gold. Forgot to mention that.
