10 Video Game Achievements That Take The Longest Time To Unlock

Every achievement hunter has had that one moment in their life when they come across a challenge they can tell right off the bat, is going to take a WHILE.

Most of these types of achievements take a long time to accomplish because it's nearly impossible to get them after just a couple of tries.

However, there are also achievements that take a long time to get, simply because the challenge itself is to spend a lot of time on the task itself. These types of achievements are true endurance tests, and depending on the exact conditions of acquisition, they might border on impossible.

Still, managing to complete the challenge is the true mark of one's dedication to the game. On top of that, given the time you need to put into acquiring the achievement, completing it might turn out to be a fun way to spend the rest of your weekend.

Let's talk about hours of unpaused gauntlets, standing around, and no bathroom breaks. If you're in it for the long run, get ready to discover a world of achievements that take ages to unlock.

Music rhythm games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band are already pretty demanding when it comes to finishing some of the songs in their catalogues on higher difficulties. However, what if you had to complete ALL of the songs in one, painfully long sitting?

The infamous Bladder of Steel achievement in Rock Band 2 requires the player to finish the game's entire setlist without pausing and failing any of the songs.

That means an interrupted concert of over 80 songs, which winds up to more than six hours of gameplay. And if you somehow manage to mess up any of the songs on your way to victory, you need to start the entire setlist over.

The achievement sounds extremely brutal to get, and judging by its title, the game developers knew exactly what they were doing.

However, the challenge doesn't necessarily have to be torture. If you're willing to trust your friends' skills with the game, you can always invite them over and try to get through this challenge together.

That way, you can switch every now and then and have a great time with your buddies, without worrying about your bladder being more paper than steel.
