A few early contenders, in no particular order:
- "Drogglejug" (Deponia)
- Something from Limbo ("Wrong Way" suggested)
- Anything from Bad Rats (why didn't I think of that?)
- "Transmission Received" (Portal)
- "Unbound" (Skyrim) Basically, play the damn game, even if it means I'll want to do nothing else. ;-)
- "Fuzzy lil fellow" (Grim Legends: The Forsaken Bride) - Cat avatar, hello? =)
I may or may not pick one of these, but they've resonated with me for one reason or another.

Those challenges though. I remember them being quite time consuming.

Since you got alot of playtime in Deus Ex HR, why not try:
Legend
Complete Deus Ex: Human Revolution at its hardest setting.
or
Pacifist
Complete Deus Ex: Human Revolution without anyone dying by your hand. (Boss fights do not count.)
both beeing last Achievements you can get in Deus Ex HR. Or try to get both in one run!
Just pick a game you like and try to get a hard achievement in it I would say. Edit: Not sure if you would count that as "insanely difficult" or time consuming.
Comment has been collapsed.
My one DX:HR playthrough was actually intended as a Pacifist run, but as you may know it's a capricious achievement...people can die if you move their unconscious bodies the wrong way, or if you headshot with a tranq rifle, etc. So somebody died along the way. =(
Legend would actually be easier to achieve (in a Pacifist playthrough), except for that first boss.
Comment has been collapsed.
Legend is a roughly 3-4 hour task if you have already played the game. Same for Pacifist. Literally just keep on running and that's it. Oh, and pick up a laser rifle at least in Singapore. It's almost perfect for Foxiest of the Hounds too (I got it in a 4-hour run after I botched it twice gods-know-where).
Comment has been collapsed.
There's also The Take and The Fall that I don't have. Not as interesting and Pacifist, but a lot easier to achieve, and I get my DX:HR fix. ;-)

The first boss is pretty easy, you can defeat it by throwing gas barrels to stun him and exploding barrels to do some damage.
Comment has been collapsed.
I actually found the first boss the hardest in the game. I had no weapon skills (Pacifist run) and had never thrown a grenade (which I usually suck at anyway). It doesn't help that I kinda suck at FPS gunplay (hence the Pacifist approach).
I never played the Director's Cut version with altered boss fights.

As an achievement whore, I have one question.
How long will this be open for?
Achievements are important. I will not half-ass this.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm...good question. Although it's not a true "contest" with a true "award," I guess it doesn't make sense to give suggestions after I've already gotten #1000, eh?
Let's say through the weekend. I'll update the post.

Too bad, the 100% Achievement is called "Achievement Whore".
Wouldn't that be a great Achievement to place in the middle of your Achievement Showcase? =P

I'm always in admiration when I see someone who put time and effort for achievements. You deserve my respect !

Limbo - Wrong Way
Complete the achievements of this game
Comment has been collapsed.
The 5-deaths achievement is complete and utter bullshit though since there are parts which run on an external world timer, essentially making life or death pure RNG. I'm an achievement whore, but after the fourth unsuccessful attempt I just said 'fuck it'.
Comment has been collapsed.
Good for you. Just say no to achievements designed to waste time instead of be the slightest bit fun.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well this one 'sounds' cool... but I think while going for this achievement you would end up with different one first. Plus I've never played this game and I'm guessing it's hard. I think I got most of my achievements accidentally :)
I Avoid Sleep Wherever Possible, So I Played AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! a Whole Lot

I doubt I'd be able to get "I Avoid Sleep..." first, but I've been wanting to try AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA for awhile...

Only takes 10 minutes or so!
Free perfect game for those who are into that sort if thing. :)

Thanks for the recommendation-- I'll have to check that out.
It would be a bit too "cheap" for a 1,000th achievement, don't you think?
But an excellent choice for 1,001 =)
Comment has been collapsed.
Make it indie has really easy achievements where you can get 100% completion in 10 minutes more or less
You can also try to obtain the pacifist achievement from deus ex but this one might take some time
There are some easy-to-do achievements in Portal 2 that you don't have, for example: Drop Box
Comment has been collapsed.
Make it Indie would probably be too "cheap."
Pacifist would be too hard/capricious. Though some of the other ones I've missed (The Fall, The Take) are possible.
Portal or Portal 2 are definite contenders (except for the co-op ones).
Thanks for the reply. =)

Play "Postal". Get the bloody achievements you've been aching to do since the mid '90s.
Comment has been collapsed.
You know, I didn't even remember that I owned this game. I must've gotten it in a bundle and farmed the cards. LOL. Thanks for the suggestion.
Comment has been collapsed.
You're welcome. Its successor, Postal 2, is considered the best in the series.
If you loved both games, then Postal 3 is a must-play....though it is the lowest point in the series, still plenty of eye-candy; a graphical marvel the eyes can see.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Legend
Become Legend with 1000 achievements 8)
Comment has been collapsed.
Portal - Transmission received. Easy achi, but very fun. I'd recommend it, since you have 13 hrs in Portal :)
Or if you want something more action filled. Go for OVERDRILL in PAYDAY: The Heist. Difficulty doesn't matter, but still it's a long but good achievement to do.
Comment has been collapsed.
I seem to remember that that's a very long, convoluted achievement that I'd basically have to have a guide next to me to complete. Or am I misremembering?
Comment has been collapsed.
Both achievements need a guide, but as far as I remember both can be done in under 1 hour. Maybe go for Portal's achievement, because if you get a bad team in PAYDAY, 1 person can ruin the whole heist.
Comment has been collapsed.
Overdrill is convoluted but if you read through the guide once, you can do it. Or play with someone who knows how to do the hard part.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah. You just need 3 other people, who know the positions and the code. After that, the whole heist is completely doable. And if you have experience in FPS games even on lvl 1 you can do it on Easy.
Comment has been collapsed.
Sorry-- should have mentioned-- single-player only achievements, so no Overdrill. I've updated the post.
Comment has been collapsed.
No problem. Then I definitely recommend Transmission received. It's fun, and if you love Portal, it shouldn't be hard.
Comment has been collapsed.
if you want something quick start playing Divinity: Original Sin and you will get some achievements.
if you want something more special then go for Deus Ex HR "Pacifist" is more rare than "Legend" everyone suggests.

bodies die only if you throw them from some height,if you are carefull enough there is no problem.
i got both "Pacifist" and "Foxiest of the Hounds" in the same run and the really difficult part i remember was getting past those zombie-like people towards the end game.
also here are some tips
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, I used to live on that site. ;-) Even made some contributions/edits.
As the site says, you can kill someone with a tranq headshot. I'm pretty sure I did this in some Detroit apartments.
Also, I remember in the DRB Hideout, I knocked out two guys inside near the entrance, and at some point later, I noticed they were dead. Not sure what happened there.

Get "Droggeljug" in Deponia. It's the only achievement I'm missing in that game and I want to live vicariously through you.
Comment has been collapsed.
LOL! I tried to get it with some of the exploits work-arounds mentioned in guides, but either they fixed it, or I did it wrong.
Comment has been collapsed.
Same, I tried for about an hour just trying to get that acheivement before giving up.
Comment has been collapsed.
If you use a walkthrough and already played the game to know most of it, it can be done in maybe 90 minutes or so. You keep pushing down the dialugue skip button and do the game normally.
Comment has been collapsed.
I suggest you to just stay at that number. It looks kinda cool.
Comment has been collapsed.
As suggested already by Trenning, Postal and Postal 2 have the most funny achievements on steam in my opinion :D
Comment has been collapsed.
LOL, I'd forgotten that game even had Achievements.
Comment has been collapsed.
hm.. i think that more difficult will be achieving that one you choose and try not to het another achies eg. for dying first time, watching intro etc.
You should go definitely into game with only one or a few achies if you want it to count
Comment has been collapsed.
Agreed-- some perfectly interesting achievements are straight out because there's no way I can achieve them without getting others first.
Comment has been collapsed.
Any achievement from Bad Rats will do the trick , thank me later.
Comment has been collapsed.
Since you want it to be your 1000th I guess only achievements from games were you have most of the other already, or early game achievements from games that you haven't played yet, are liable choices.
So I thought I take a look at some early game achievements. So I wanted to suggest The Quest Begins from Chip, cause 1000 achievements obviously are only the beginning. But you don't have the game. So maybe And So It Begins from XCOM, but again you don't have it.
But I'm not giving up that easy: Humble Beginnings from Kingdom Wars. That one is free to play so you have it ;)
Just found that Postal has And so it begins... too.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm...I don't really MMORTS, but Kingdom Wars does look kind of interesting. I'll keep it in mind.
Thanks for the reply! =)

Without a doubt: Nihilumbra "You are Born"
I thought it was pretty good game too.
Comment has been collapsed.
Not a bad idea. It will mean committing some time to the game (so that I don't have to carry around a 5% completion), but maybe it's worth it. I actually played a bit of it on an iPad and it was fun. Thanks for the suggestion.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks...I don't actually own the game, though I did buy a couple copies during the summer sale for giveaways. I guess I could activate it and play it...I enjoyed the demo.

The "game" is only 20 minutes, the achievements it's for finish the game.
You have to try it!

Somebody else suggested that, and I agree-- though it seems a bit "cheap" for #1,000.
But perfect for 1,001! =)

This actually looks quite interesting, unlike most free games. Thanks for posting this find!
Comment has been collapsed.
haha no this is absolut a hard one... you can try Maddie's little game... it is not so hard and will give you at least one achivement in the game :)
oc not for the 1000th :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, I could probably pull off Maddie's little game and the one Sanctuary achievement...but I have no hope at the others and I'd be stuck at, say, 12% completion. Horrors! :-O
Comment has been collapsed.
You could do Drugglejug for 100% achievements in Deponia. If you can't remember the dialog, probably use a guide.
You could do the wrong way in limbo, as it's a joke on Mario games (how we are all used to going from left to right in 2d platformers.
Or you could go bat shit all in and do Deus Ex human revolution in hard mode or even the no kill version. Both difficult I guess (although I have them all on the DC).
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, Drogglejug and Limbo are solid suggestions (see my first comment in this thread). DX:HR's are probably too much work for a game I've already played.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm sitting at 999 achievements. I'd like to hear suggestions from the SG community what I should try to get for my 1,000th achievement. Take a look and give it a shot. =)
If I pick your achievement, you get
automatically whitelistedprivate entry to a GA for a newly released AAA gamemy thanks for making my 1,000th achievement a little more fun.Should I dust off an older game and get an achievement I never got?
Should I get one of those hard-to-reach (but still attainable) achievements?
Should I try out a brand new game and get its first achievement?
A few things [sorry, this got longer than I intended]:
Thank you for your participation! I'll pick my target 1,000th achievement Monday morning, US EDT. =)
