The most difficult achievement in the history of video games: only 0.1% of players have achieved it

In ‘Max Payne 3’ there is one that unlocks only when you finish the game in one go without dying and without running out of time. And yes, if you die, you have no choice but to start over. If you have the skill and free time to achieve it, I offer you my most sincere congratulations

Although it may seem that achievements in video games were born on Xbox, the truth is that they have been around since 1982. Of course, back then it was a bit complex, because you had to take a picture of your high score, send it to Activision and they would send you a patch in return to put on your clothes and show off that you were the master of the joystick. Now it’s much easier and you can’t show it off on the street, but in return you can review your list of achievements comfortably from your home using just a console and a controller. It loses magic, gains convenience.

Obviously, it’s not always easy. In fact, there are some achievements that are directly impossible, like the one in ‘Rayman Raving Rabbids’ that is activated when reaching 174,000 points. The trick? The limit is 173,000, leaving the game forever unfinished. Perfect for those with gaming OCD. However, not all achievements that can be obtained are a piece of cake.

For example, in Max Payne 3, there is one achievement that is unlocked only when you complete the game in one go without dying and without running out of time. And yes, if you die, you have to start over. If you have the skill and free time to achieve it, my sincere congratulations to you. However, there is an achievement that goes even further. So much so that only 0.1% of players have achieved it.

This is ‘Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter’, a title that is already difficult to pronounce. In order to achieve the World Champion achievement, you had to… well, literally be the best in the world against the rest of the players. Only a handful of them achieved it, and the vast majority without cheating.

Yes, well, technically you can create different accounts to beat over and over again, always achieving the perfect score, but you would need months and months of cheating to reach number one. It’s up to you if it’s worth doing that instead of achieving an achievement in a more satisfying way. Do you dare? For your own good, I hope the answer is “No, for god’s sake”.
