The MIRV in fallout 3...I mean COME ON! Find all of the tapes...do all of that stuff...and then get to shoot it once because NO ONE has that many mini-nukes... :(

Yes. FF VII: Knights of the Round for the win.

But basically anything that is really hidden in an RPG is impossible to find without a walkthrough. The way I go about any game is to beat it once for fun and by myself, and then play through it again for all the secret stuff (and achievements on 360). That way I can enjoy it without worrying too much about missing things, and I can still see everything that I missed in my initial playthrough.

Cheers.

bobble heads in fallout 3 and collectibles in gears of war 2

All the gaps in Tony Hawk Pro Skater.

I didn't know there were so many unlockables in that game

The one secret island level in Golden Sun.

Fierce Deity's Mask was...difficult, to say the least.

Star Ocean: The Second Story

You must climb the looooooong 10 floors of the final dungeon, save at the very last save point in the game, and climb all the way back down, talk to a specific old man in an arena with about 50 people. Don't understand who could actually figure that out without being a game developer or finding it online.

The Terrible Shotgun in Fallout 3

I found that easily without a guide.

In my defence that lovely lady from IGN did a guide to it, the alien blaster and the lincoln repeater before I had the game. I'm happy to let her talk about anything.

Enough said, good sir!

I know everyone has said Oblivin/Fallout 3/Morrowind to death but lets just rap it up and say anything by Bethesda........ever.

Fucking puzzle box! took me months to find that thing and its THE FIRST MOTHERFUCKING QUEST!!!!

FFXII: all the good weapons were either impossibly rare combinations at that damn bazaar OR a 0.001% chance random treasure chest that could be 1 gil (i hate excalibur)

and FYI: squire ramza is much much stronger than regular squires, he has high stats, unique abilities and can equip pretty much anything
