10 INFURIATING Ways Video Games Stopped You Getting 100%

10. My Kung-Fu Is Stronger - Mortal Kombat

In the modern age, the 1000G mark next to a game or the shiny platinum trophy is the clearest way to show your dominance over a title. 2011's Mortal Kombat has a platinum trophy that is currently sitting at 0.57% completion rate, all because of the game’s ultimate test of endurance.

My Kung-Fu is Stronger asks you to select a character and play with them for a whopping 24 hours in total. Other requirements are win 100 games, perform 100 fatalities, hit 150 X-Ray attacks and spill 10,000 pints of in-game blood but these should pop over that time. If nothing else, it’s a good excuse to totally master a character.

That would be enough, but it’s not strictly true. Mortal Kombat asks you to do this for its entire roster. That means playing as each of the 28 characters for 24 hours, bringing the challenge up to at least 672 hours. You could probably leave your console on overnight every night for several months but… should you have to?

At the end of the day achievements, even the most brutally challenging of them, should still be fun to obtain. Your options with this are either letting the game play itself or doing it legitimately which is sure to make you sick of the game, no matter how good it is.
