Mr Magic Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) This is to confirm for everyone that you have to complete the entire game without dying. It is not just each level.

uhKillswitch Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck me, can't be. PLEASE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Agreed. But still finally proof on this achievement. Could you actually test as well if quitting out after finishing a chapter resets you back to chapter 1. I would try it myself but I haven't unlocked NYM HC yet.

Mr Magic Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 Maybe i'll test it later but im pretty sure it would start you back at Chapter 1. The main difference I can see is that there is no menu at all for NYM Hardcore. In the regular NYM there is a menu for selecting chapter, outfit, and aim settings. In hardcore you press start and instantly load into chapter 1, after that you load right into chapter 2 there is no menu down time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xTGMx INF3RNO Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Its worth 10G.... So im not even going to bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodGodAlucard Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Thanks for the confirmation. Now I can officially say Fuck the 1000 on this game. I was already planning on not going for it since I have no desire to play through the game 5 times. But this makes that decision even more set in stone. In a way it feels great. Like a load off my mind. Now I can focus on just playing the game for fun and not stressing over the thought of doing this. It's actually a good thing to do this from time to time. (Just play for fun and not worry about completion.) It's a lot better to have that mindset than to go for it and fail. That just feels terrible in my opinion. Like Dead Space 2. I have every achievement in that game except the one for beating Hard Core with only 3 saves. I nearly got it, but eventually gave up. I just don't think I should stress out so much over something that is supposed to be a way to relax and have fun. Sorry for the random monologue. I was just rambling. Good luck to anyone that 1000's this game. I respect your considerable gaming skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdSpider72 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I am almost willing to bet money that someone will come in this thread and STILL demand more proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ll X ll Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 oh well, this will probably be a 990G game for quite a while, may give NYM hardcore a go in the summer until i finish it or maybe R* will see how ridiculous this is and patch it. I appreciate hard and challenging achievements (Trails evolution) but not bullshit achievements like this. Thankfully, i don't care about achievements so it's great for me either way!

XxReapaxX Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I wouldn't mind this achievement so much if you got a checkpoint at the halfway point of the game. The biggest issue with an achievement like this is not only is skill a factor but so is being lucky enough to not have the game freeze or suffer a power outage randomly, or just plain encounter a glitch that makes you start over.

HabsCen10ial Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 This has to be an error on Rockstars part. Why would they only make this achievement 10G? It makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripleb2k Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 990/1000 for lots of us than! Imagine dying in the last chapter... I'll save myself the trouble of breaking a control and skip that achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So its a bullshit achievement because it's hard to obtain, those are the achievements I like, something challenging that only a dedicated few will get. They are just computer generated numbers created by M$ and this so called gamerscore that so many gamers obsese over mean nothing in the real world. Are you going to put your gamerscore on your resume when you go looking for a job or use your gamerscore as a pick up line, HELL NO. Some times I long for the days when there was no achievements and people played games for fun. Edited May 18, 2012 by Masta Mylez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only you have to be skilled (we are talking timing and not dying also) but you have to be so lucky not to get glitched or the power cuts off on your home accidently or hiding for too long till the time finishes.etc especially with the A.I being aggressive and coming out in packs of 5's & 10's Give me something challenging to obtain but for crying out loud make it a logical challenging achievement. Hell, the Dead Space 2 hardcore one is a logical achievement, it gave you the option to save only 3 times but if you die you return to the last time you saved, this i can understand and appreciate. But yeah, i enjoy the game for what it is and not for it's achievements so it's fine by me that they did this bullshit non-logical achievement. However, what i meant is that i appreciate a challenging but logical and fair achievement (Ninja Gaiden 2 cheevos come to mind) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly the way I feel. Just last night when I was playing normal NYM mode my game got stuck on the loading screen in chapter 12. Now had that been NYM HC that would of been hours wasted due to a fault of the game, not me. I stopped striving for completions a while ago so its not a big deal for me to not ever get this, but all devs need to take things besides skill into consideration when making crazy achievements like this.

WickedD365 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I think R* did this on purpose and made the achievement so small that we won't bitch to much about it because they know it's almost impossible. That and so the one's that can actually do it have the bragging right for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponypo2001 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I can't sit at a game for that amount of time in one sitting so fuck it being hard, it's just plain stupid. Many other gamers can't play a game all in one go for that period either. Top it off with the numerous bullshit deaths or fails the game throws at you sometimes due to bugs or glitches and it's just not worth even entertaining. Still, I gave up ever trying to complete R* games years ago as the lists are too time consuming for my liking. Great games, often great achievements, but always a couple thrown in just to give the game artificial longevity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barad Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) God dammit..well that's a downer..was looking forward to completing this so bad as well.

Exactly this. Its not because i couldnt do it. Ok it would be stupidly hard but the fact that something like that could happen. Max payne froze on me today already.

Oynox Slider Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 And even if I would manage to do this achievement... I would be stuck at 1000G because I wont buy all these DLC which will probably add Gamerscore as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
