The Official "Video Game Challenge" Thread

**EmoArbiter** · Posted: Sat Jan 09, 2010 8:30 pm Post subject:

Just saw this on the GameFAQ's forum and figured I'd try it out here

The Tecmo Super Bowl No Offense Challenge
-This challenge can be done with any team (Currently trying it with the Giants as this is my first time)
-You may not use any offense aside from Field Goals. On first down you MUST punt or kick a Field Goal
-Special Teams TD's ARE allowed, although you may choose to not allow them for a tougher challenge
-You must win the Super Bowl to complete this challenge

I'll update this post as I play games. Only using save states after games to take a break or if the emulator crashes

Bah my computer crashed and rolled back, lost my saves >_>

Week 1 vs 49ers W 32-6 167 Yards Allowed (Much better than last time, lost my returner though)

WHERE TO FIND THE PLAYTHROUGH:
i will be using a livestream instead of uploading a video maybe.

IF I UPLOAD TO YOUTUBE:
you can find the playthrough/speedrun at www.youtube.com/user/TheimpossibleMMXchallenge (i will make that account.)

I've got an idea for myself:

Activision Trifecta:
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2: Achieve a 25 killstreak and call in a Tactical Nuke.
- Guitar Hero (any of them made after 80s): Score 1,000,000 on a song in Solo.
- Tony Hawk (again, any that I own, probably will do it in 4): Rack up a 1,000,000 combo without cheats.

This probably seems loleasy to you guys, but I'm not that great at these games, and figure this will give me a challenge.

I'm going to start my 2nd playthrough of Fallout 3 soon (already beat the main story and all DLC). This time through I want to make it a lot harder for myself to play through, because once I started to get more caps for stimpacks and some good energy weapons, it felt too easy to kill even the hardest enemies. With that in mind, I decided to set these restrictions for myself:

-I can only carry 2 weapons at a time
-Neither of these weapons can be energy weapons
-I can only carry 300 rounds for each gun at a time
-I cannot buy any weapons or ammo from any traders, they must be found
-I can only pick up a new weapon once I am out of ammo for one of my 2 guns
-I can only carry 1000 caps at a time
-I can only carry 20 stimpacks at a time

The main purpose of this playthrough is for me to get the remaining trophies I need in order to get the platinum for this game. These are my main goals for this playthrough:

[] Reach Level 20 and get all the remaining level-related trophies
[] Collect all bobbleheads
[] Beat the side mission "Strictly Buisness" (Didn't do this the first time because I killed the guy you talk to in order to start it when I was rescuing the children from Paradise Falls)

I'm currently doing an FFVIII No Junction challenge. I don't play this every day but I'll update it when I do.

Rules

I am not allowed to junction GFs to any character. This means that I can only use the Attack And Limit commands, and cannot junction magic to my stats to make my characters stronger. That's about it.

Progress

I started this before I saw this thread, so I will start from where I'm currently at.

I'm currently at the start of Disc 2, in the D-District prison, trying to kill GIM52As for the Micro Missiles limit for Quistis, but to no avail.

I'm gonna do a run on Oblivion as a pure mage. Every other character I've had in the 500-or-so hours of play across PC and 360 have been the sword-waving types. I started a few days ago as a Breton with occasional sword-waving, arrow-slinging and a custom class, but I'm gonna restart with an Altmer, mage class, no swords or blunt weapons and only magical bows and arrows.

I don't know if this'd be considered a challenge 'cos I'm not going to crank the difficulty up any higher than usual, I guess it's just a different way of experiencing the game. It might be more difficult 'cos, for DLC purposes, I'll be doing it on the 360 version: in my experience, it's harder to aim where you're throwing your spells when you don't have mouse control.

I think playing as a mage is loleasy compared to anything else. I started a mage a while ago to see how hard it was, and it was really fun, but really easy. Just letting you know.

Change of plan: the Oblivion mage thing turned out to be not much more than a super slow paced FPS, so instead I'm gonna play a strictly unarmed character on Fallout 3. That will be a challenge. I might do it on the PC version despite lack of DLC, 'cos I really don't think it'll take long before I get bored or find it impossible.

2. Skip the bike.
3. Skip the Pokeflute.

5. Only use regular Pokeballs.
6. Not use any status healing items/potions during battle. (That includes revive)
