15 Sadistic Xbox One Achievements Only Hardcore Gamers Unlocked

2. Gold Plated - Need For Speed

Need for Speed
EA

To earn Gold Plated, you need to win gold on all prestige events, which doesn't sound intimidating, but is just maddening. For starters, you're going to need to tune your car to the absolute best it can be, no exceptions. Once you think your car is at its best, you'll need to practice and then practice some more.

You'll have to get to a point where you memorize every turn, every drift, everything.

Only a fraction of Need For Speed players have this achievement unlocked and it's easy to see why. The cars in the game are seemingly just not fast enough to even get the times required to get gold. Every single turn, every drift, every second you're on the gas is going to matter. For some of the races it's not even a matter of seconds, but a matter of milliseconds that will determine if you get gold or not.

That means doing the same races over and over again just to correct one problem, one single turn, that's costing you one-tenth of a second.
