10 Most Twisted Video Game Achievements Ever
8. Cross Your Heart, Hope To Die - Dead Space 2
For those suffering from ommetapobia, that is, a fear of eyes, it's probably best to skip to this entry, and never try and obtain the Cross Your Heart, Hope To Die achievement in Dead Space 2.
Also, if you are aware of the next line of the poem referenced in the name of this achievement, you probably already have an inkling of what's coming up.
As an unavoidable part of the story, this achievement may not be as difficult as some of the others referenced in this list, but it fits the description of twisted solely for its gruesome consequences if failed.
The player enters the NoonTech Diagnostic Machine towards the end of the classic 2011 title's campaign.
To complete the achievement the player has to line up the needle with Isaac's pupil which becomes progressively more difficult as the protagonist's heart rate increases.
The trick to completing the minigame is to take periodic rests to allow Isaac's heart rate to decrease before continuing. Failing the minigame will result in a incredibly gory cutscene that is certainly not for the feint of heart.
