8 EXACT Moments We Gave Up On 100% Video Game Completion
3. The Full Setlist, Back To Back - Rock Band 2
We all likely remember the first time we played Rock Band for the first time.
The sheen of the new instruments, the fighting with your friends over who was going to be playing drums, and who should most definitely be kept off of vocals, and of course the sheer thrill that came with literally rocking out, screaming to each other to help them through difficult sections with team boosting buffs.
It's a moment that likely made you foolishly state "this is so much fun I bet we could play the entire setlist back to back!", and it's also a moment that Rock Band 2 rubbed its grubby hands together in malevolent glee, because you'd just fallen headfirst into its trap.
For you see, amongst all of the other brilliant, inventive, and fun achievements this game holds, there sits "The Bladder Of Steel" trophy, rewarded only for those that complete the endless setlist, in one sitting, without pausing or failing.
It is, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the most challenging and infuriating achievements ever, as when playing with a group even a single pause or momentary lapse in judgment can scupper literally hours of work. As such for most gamers this is what relegated their band to "dads on a weekend jamming" variety.
