Assassins Creed was one of the first games I'd ever played for the 360 and the second time I'd gotten close to 1000g. The first being Call of Duty 4 which was the first game I did it on. I had only two more achievements.
Assassins Creed has no less than 8 find this hidden thing in the game achievements. With diligence I had obtained seven of them. The 8th "Personal Vendetta" brought me to the brink of sanity. I had found every Templar but one. That last one. I couldn't figure out where he was. So I just decided to start over and go to where each of them were supposed to be. One by on I checked the locations. Nothing. I decided to start over again thinking I must have missed one. Nothing. I checked again, repeatedly checking in groups before I moved on to a new area. Still nothing. After the tenth time I gave up. My dreams of another 100% shattered. I contemplated starting a new game just for that achievement but I decided against it.
It wasn't until almost a year later that I had gotten another 100%. But it was an XBLA game and Dash of Destruction at that. 200 gamerscore in 20 minutes. I felt dirty. It wasn't until a full year almost to the day since AC that I got another 1000/1000g in Dead Space. And I commemorated it with my first gaming blog post.
I was only one achievement away from 1000/1000g in Lost Odyssey but it didn't hurt as bad. Probably because I knew I couldn't get "Treasure Trove" with out starting over but I was so close to getting "Personal Vendetta" in AC.
The other achievement I was missing in Assassins Creed was "Hungerer of Knowledge" and I kept forgetting to push "A" during the cut scenes. That would have required a new game.
Update: It was actually Hexic HD that I got my first 100% since COD4 and it felt awesome. "Grand Pearl Pooh-Bah" was hard as fuck.
