gaming Do you go for 100% on video games?

[Jeric 46,866]

It takes a real special game to make me want to Platinum or get 100%. I'm a bit of a lawnmower type since I have don't have the time I can dedicate to 100% a bunch of game. That said, I swear I will eventually with Ni No Kuni.

 

 

Reads above me. @Starshine ... you got 100% on Persona 4. That game is like the never ending story (amazing though) and you got 100%?

 

 

 

Impressive

[Kbblender 122]

H'OH BOY. The worst is when you complete the story, and you are like, barely clearing 50% and you scream at the game "WHAT ELSE AM I SUPPOSED TO DO, BEAT IT 3 MORE TIMES?" Some games have so many secrets I just say "Screw this" after a while and move on.

You mean the Batman Arkham series right?  You could've just said that.

[ShadowPirateX 600]

It depends on the game. I often try to find as many items I can collect and I often try to collect as many Trophies as possible (I consider myself a Trophy Hunter).

I can gladly go for 100% in games like Metroid, but 100% in Pokémon? Hell no!

I played through everything about 5 times, and I got all kind of personas at least once each. I remembered spamming the samurai looking guy's 8 low-strength slashes all the time xD

 

Tho it was not until the 3rd gameplay that I could get max social links

[PinkiePieJr 122]

If it's games like angry birds, I will play all the levels, just to get past, and after that, I go back and try to get the 3 stars on all levels I didn't do so on. Games like Skyrim, idk yet, cuz I never finished the game yet. I'm only level 25. But when it comes to like achievmetns, yes, I go for every single acheivement. And also I got that darn skyrim hoarder disorder where I have to search EVERY dead body, chest, and urn. XD

I feel bad for lydia, she must not like me deep inside.

[Bluhtsturm 2]

Rarely, I will go for 100% if I love the game and want to  play it again to kick ass and enjoy the game but otherwise my code is to play what I enjoy. xD

[AppleLover 146]

No, I don't always go for 100 percent, but i want to. Like in Skyrim and Miecraft, i want 100 percent. All I gotta do in Minecraft (PS3 edition) is go into the End Portal, than I have to beat the Ender Dragon to get 100 percent. In Skyrim there is so much shit I gotta do that I don't focus on the trophies and just focus on the missions. Except the trophies are kinda forcing me to do things that always seemed like something I would rather not do. Like I gotta pick 50 more pockets in order to get a trophy. I am a warrior in that game. I mean the only magic I use is a basic healing magic. I have used no magic whasoever, and none of it except Restoration is upgraded. But I am close to get one-handed to 100 as a skill, I just got 3 more levels for it to go. Than I get that trophy for getting a 100 as a skill. 

[Starflower 323]

I try. But afterwards I just be lazy and I end up restarting the whole save file all over again. I give up too easily. haha. 

[Panne 1,342]

Only certain games get 100%. Games that either get it along the way or I feel like they deserve to get 100%.

[Revy ~ Two Hands 862]

I have to love the game to beat it, when I was younger I'd just plow through it. Now I think that I could be doing something else or playing another game and actually enjoying it.

 

I tried to 100% the VR missions in MGS2 Subsistence on the pc version, never managed it , I have the HD collection now and I want to 100% all the Extra ops on PeaceWalker. I've had the game for months and I still haven't though.

[Jaref 344]

Rarely, but it happens, if it's a game that I really love. It's a nice excuse to keep playing it after you've beat it. Only games I've 100%'ed are Binding of Isaac, Dark Souls 1 & 2, Ni No Kuni, Risk of Rain and Batman: Arkham Asylum (not counting older games without achievements)

[Omega Centauri 317]

I GO for 100% completion, but that doesn't necessarily mean I'll make it to 100% completion.

[Brony Number 42 10,073]

I just got 100% on the new Wolfenstein New Order. I think this is only the 2nd game I have gotten all the trophies / achievements. I use walk throughs and guides because I want to get everything in the game. I would rather see spoilers and find all the hidden stuff than the alternative. It doesn't spoil it that much anyway. But the achievements / trophies are a different thing, and most of the time it is way to difficult and time consuming to try to get all of those. I go for the ones I can get. I would rather play a bunch of games and not get 100% than spend many hours on a game just to get some stupid thing to get a trophy.

[Flutter's lover <3 8,206]

If by 100% you mean all achievements, then sometimes yea. I'm close to 100% on Borderlands 1 and 2. as well as GTA V.

[Mutemutt 773]

Nope. Most of that just isn't that entertaining since it usually consists of just doing a collect-a-thon, picking up random junk because, hey it's a new shiny.

 

My 100% is finishing the story and doing all the extra bosses/ dungeons/ side quests. Even then, I may not really care for all the small side bits. In RPG's I'll generally do all the side quests and extra bosses eventually (takes a looooong time before I get around to it normally); for fighting games, I'll do the stories of the characters I'm most interested in and the true story, but probably not all the others. Absolutely no extra scavenger hunts! A major exception is games like Skyrim, where pretty much the whole game is sidequests, nothing in there really holds onto me for long so I end up dropping that pretty early...

[websterhamster 203]

Yep, everything.

 

Note that if you're playing the Mass Effect trilogy and you aren't a completionist, you'll have a worse ending in ME3 (even though they pretty much all suck).

 

In Skyrim I do everything. Except as soon as the main Dawnguard questline is complete I turn myself into a human again because I'm tired of fast-traveling from Volkihar Castle to Riften and going from undetectable vampire to SUPER-EVIL-KILL-IT-EVEN-THOUGH-IT'S-NOT-HOSTILE vampire... lol

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

I try my best to hit 100% always on my first try. If I miss, I sometimes have to "review" levels. 

[Hyper Tumble 1,483]

the first game I tried to perfect was Red Dead Redemption. The vast amount of shit to do ruined any chances of me ever 1000'ing any game in  the future.

[Panne 1,342]

I just got Shovel Knight and I'm going to go 100% on that game. 

P.S. the Shovel Knight fanbase is awesome.

[Sazama Ichida 2,367]

Literally EVERY single person I've heard of who has a PS3 gets EVERY Trophy in EVERY PS3 game they play...Platinum included...And what really frustrates me is that I seem to literally be the ONLY PS3 gamer who is too incompetent and bad at games to get even one single Platinum Trophy...

Aside from that I usually go for 100%s when I can but more than 90% of the time I can't do it...

[DubWolf 17,445]

I always have in the past. I've even completed one game up to 120% (Spyro the Dragon; there is a bonus level that is unlocked when you reach 100% of completion). I can only think of 2 games I never completely beat, or even reached the final level (A Bugs Life and Star Wars Rebel Asssault).

[(MARVEL) Blue Blood 991]

Not very often, unless I REALLY like the game. The last game I 100% was LEGO Marvel Superheroes, and that took forever. 

[Snow Frostflame 3,568]

how I do things is I play through the game then go back if I missed something then i try to unlock every Achievement the game has to offer if it Doesn't have Achievements then still I try to complete a game

I have 100% Minecraft and Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 4 (2010)

I have 94% Call of Duty Black ops

and I have 84% Need for Speed Rivals

I also 100% a few Legend's of Zelda games

[Adorkable 2,737]

There are a few games I'll attempt 100%, but if I already know I don't want to put the time in to do them, or if I think they're too hard, I'll just get all I can, then go on. ^^

[RainbowDangerDashie 195]

I can beat a game in a day if I wanted to (I've done it before)
