What was the hardest achievement for you to get on Steam?
What game was it and what did you have to do to get the achievement?

I'm not sure which one is the hardest, but here are some I think are worth mentioning:

Out of all my achievements, the ones I'm the most proud of are probably Golden God and The Golden Gift from Super Meat Boy. As I posted in my earlier reply to a post about The Golden Gift, I still think Golden God is more challenging because it requires much more effort over the course of a long time. I admit I might have been a little addicted to the game when I got it, but the feeling of accomplishment after beating a challenging level after dozens of tries was so intoxicating that I got hell-bent on beating the whole game. SMB still remains one of my favorite games ever. I've done some Iron Man runs as well, so far Maggot Boy has been the most challenging.

Something in Half-Life games awakens the achievement hoarder inside me, and I've got every achievement in all three Half-Life 2 games. And I'll tell you this: after getting Little Rocket Man, I hate Gnome Chompski with great passion. Although carrying him around, looking at his stupid face for couple of hours actually made launching him into space actually feel rewarding.

Portal's is kind of easy with a guide, but some people consider that cheating.

Definitely easier with a guide, but it was still harder than all the other achievements I've gotten on steam.

Oh, yeah. I tried to legitimately get the radio achievement, too. Sort of hard. Some of them are hidden very well.

Caress of Steel in Ys Origin. That's getting through the boss rush on nightmare difficulty with all versions of all characters, 8 in total. I've been able to do it with the two versions of Hugo and that's it. I have all the achievements except that one and the one to earn every other achievement.

The most difficult I can think right now:

  • STILL SOMETHING TO PROVE: Survive all campaigns on Expert. (Left 4 Dead 2)
  • No Point in Dying: Complete the game in one sitting with five or less deaths (LIMBO)
  • Golden God: 100% the game (Super Meat Boy)
  • Platinum God!: 100% the game (The Binding of Isaac)
  • Speed Run: Complete a full speed run, beating the challenge time. (Braid)

Almost there:
SO MANY LEVELINGS!!: Get to level 100. (Frozen Synapse)

Play it long enough and eventually you'll end up with a completely overpowered build to fly through the game with every character. It's more time consuming than difficult.

Having said that, I suppose if you intentionally gimped yourself by not restarting after getting poor drops on the first few floors, that would be pretty tricky.

...but having said that, either of the fetus weapons pretty much = victory.

HoE is hard but it is not THAT hard

have my axe was really easy, just took time, could be way faster if you have a friend to get his attention

the heal yourself and 5 others with medic grenade would be harder since everybody has to be hurt and in the same general area in the time frame of the nade

I wouldn't say that's the "hardest" but I will agree that one sucks because of the traffic missions. I also can't do those damn tank missions.

For me it was Bulletproof Windshield from L.A. Noire. I spent all day shooting at these guys. To make things worse Rockstar Social Club has the audacity to claim I have no achievements in the game, nor have I apparently played it at all.

Shogun 2: Become a Shogun (even in normal diff, having both influences -shogunate and empire- the game gets extremely hard since you're getting attacked by pretty much every other general that is in favour of the shogunate)

And before you ask, no SAM, just careful planning and using the clan from the Westmost island :<

The Chosokabe? If i'm not mistaken i used that one myself.

I meant Shimazu, but the tactic works with Chosokabe too, just slower. Before you hit realm divide, make sure to capture both smaller islands (that way you can mass your armies on main one, for blitzrkieg, and defend these 2 with just your navy), capture all trade points (infinitely easier if you can build Western style ships, as they wreck anything Japan has to offer and are best escort ships for your trade points as they count as trade ships too) so you have money for your doomstacks plus put all your agents in place to wreak as much havoc as possible on strongest opponents.

Though, Legendary was boring grind I had to wade through even at the end, when controlling 80% of the island, as I was losing full stack of troops every 2-4 turns fighting last opponent and had to micromanage all the reinforcements...

I had the luck of being able to take the islands pretty fast, but it was amazing how they starved me by shutting down every single trade route they could.

Eventually i managed to pull it off, a few turns away from the game to end, but DAMN it was worth it.

The hardest achievement for me has to be any Ironman achievement, X3 has a couple that are just insane. There are plenty of grind achievements, like the random one from BUTTON or the Garry's Mod 1 year idle one but neither are really "hard" to get. They just require lots and lots of idle time.

Max Payne 3 - The Shadows Rushed Me
Beat New York Minute Hardcore.

For those of you who don't know, in NYM, you only have 1 minute to beat each level, and you get bonus time for killing people and it's set to hard mode.

In NYM Hardcore, if you die, you get sent back to the start of the game. You have to beat the entire campaign, on hard mode, without dying once.

At first I thought it was impossible but with some practice and patience, it can be done. Trust me, I did it :)

playing 1 year of garry´s mod and sandbox

worst is playing on the same server as garry, take in fact that newman barely plays his game at all these days, the only reasons he play is either to test it or because his friends (who already have the achievement) invite him to a (private) game
