Games that I have S-Ranked

by oni

I like Achievements. I like them so much, sometimes I play a game more than I want to to get all of them. Here are those games, and the stories that have never before been told. I also answer the question "would I S-Rank this game again if I lost the points?" Join me on a journey of miserable agony and lack of life!

BioShock

1. BioShock

I love Bioshock. I can spend hours in Rapture. Played through it twice, and really did not resent any of it. It's been so long, I could do with a trip back to Rapture. Would do it again.

Streets of Rage 2

2. Streets of Rage 2

I played the hell out of this game as a kid. I know all about Grand Uppers. Only hard part of this was the 800k achievement. Save/load, save/load ad nauseum. But this game has awesome music. Would do it again.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

3. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

Do not play this game on the highest difficulty level, if you value your sanity. It is unfair, cheap and frustrating as hell. I should've quit. But I didn't, I just had to keep going. I also ran through the first level a dozen times to unlock power-specific achievements. That was simply tedious. Wouldn't do it again.

UNO Rush

4. UNO Rush

Plug in a few extra controllers and you can have a party all by yourself! And unlock 200 easy points in the process. I have no life. Would do it again.

Lost: Via Domus

5. Lost: Via Domus

This game is pretty mediocre. But it's also easy as hell. And with a guide, you can get all the achievements in one playthrough, which will take you like 4-5 hours. And it's kinda neat as a Lost fan, terrible "soundalike" voice actors notwithstanding. Would do it again.

6. Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection

This one was kinda fun. It's like a metagame: Play each game in the collection for like 15 minutes per achievement. Only the Columns and Mean Bean Machine ones gave me any trouble at all. Would do it again.

Dead Space

7. Dead Space

Dead Space is a good game. So good I played through it twice for all the achievements. It was not hard or frustrating, but maybe that's because I bought DLC that made the game pretty easy. I am a horrible person. Would do it again.

Too Human

8. Too Human

If I told you how many hours I spent playing this game, you'd probably call me crazy. And you'd be right. It's near the 100 hour mark. And I STILL didn't get my own elite armor set, I borrowed it off a dude for that achievement. Playing this with Matt Bodega again recently made me realize I never want to play this game again, ever. I did like it back then, though. Would not do it again.

Dash of Destruction

9. Dash of Destruction

Quickest S-Rank ever. Took like 20 minutes, and I actually sort of enjoyed it. You're a dinosaur, eating Doritos. Sure. Would do it again.

Soulcalibur IV

10. Soulcalibur IV

I am not good at this game at all! Astaroth is your friend: Down-back X, Y. People got pretty mad at me online in ranked games, though I tried not to be too cheap. The game has kinda bad net code. Most boring achievement? Buying all the stuff in the store. Doing the last stage over and over again and getting Algol (?) to ring himself out whilst at the same time posting on forums is responsible for the death of half my brain cells. I have no life. Would not do it again.
