Finished the whole game without reading any FAQs EXCEPT when I couldn't get to Arsuf properly at the end. Even then the walkthrough said nothing except "don't miss the path". Will update later with X360 Achievements unlocked. |

No special achievements. I finished MUCH of the game without cheating but eventually the final boss was too mind numbingly boring. I did finish him again later without cheats. | Q4 2005 |

Won 100 games of blackjack to earn enough money to buy the Solus Greatsword. In all I collected 22 silver keys (out of a possible 25). Married Lady Grey. Managed to seduce her into bed (this took forever, and I only ended up having the patience for it because my gf was insistant that we finish this). Collected MANY Legendary items:
The Harbinger (Sword in the Stone) was very difficult for me to acquire because I was very powerful when I first tried the sword out - Never realized that the later you tried the harder it was to get. Skorm's Bow was VERY difficult to get and required at least 10hrs of attempts. Finished the Arena in one attempt with no problems whatsoever. Killed Jack o' Blades in first attempt without any problems. Killed all other bosses in first attempt. |

This game was finished in coop mode (split screen) with DEViATE. We initially started the game in the normal difficulty, but after getting around 25% done we decided we wanted a challenge so we started a new game at Heroic difficulty. |

Finished game with runner vision off, without using guns against enemies, and without walkthroughs. I might have hit an enemy by accident because I didn't get the Test of Faith Achievement. | Feb 14, 09 |

Having the patience to finish this game itself is already an achievement! Collected something like most of the secret tokens. Gave up on the getting the tokens in the Castle stage b/c it was impossible to reach the secret area under the bridge (I could see it though and tried many hours to get there). |

Finished the entire game without resorting to walkthroughs. Most levels were finished without getting stuck and were rapidly solved (almost easily). I got stuck in 2 places: 1) Test Chamber 18 I could not figure out how to get out of the room with the acid for a very long time until I realized I could place a portal on top of the piece of wall that comes out when the button is pressed. 2) Test Chamber 19 I could not figure out how to get into the ducting that you reach after using the rocket launcher to breach the glass. This one was particularly frustrating as I tried to use portals to try to whip myself to the duct. It wasn't until I realized that I might have to use a Companion Cube that I figured this out. Here I was so frustrated I was ready to read a walkthrough, but resisted because I was so near the end. |

The game was played literally over a 4 year stretch. First I had started the game in 2002, but stopped playing when I shelved the Xbox. After dusting it off I continued where I left off and managed to finish the whole thing. Achievements (nothing special but good to remember) Many of the boss fights were completed in a single pass. Some took many tries. I had over $12,000 by the time I left Kownloon so during the "Impressing the Scout" stage of the game I didn't have to scrape up any money. I used Vash the Stampede's guide a lot, but many of the fights he classified as tough were relatively easy. Most significant achievement: this is the only game where both me and my gf played the whole way through together. lol. |

After finishing this game I replayed it multiple times to create a Monster and Weapons guide, plus a strategy guide. This is in fact, the game that inspired me to create my first website for hardware reviews and games content. |
