gaming Do you go for 100% on video games?

[Twi Rubix 726]

Simple question. Do you go for 100% completion on video games? I usually go for everything I can, just so I can feel the satisfaction of overcoming the challenge. How about you?

[Marcato 2,143]

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.

[Typhoid Libby 1,265]

Always go for that extra 150% when in JRPG.

Because it's there.

Japanese really butcher the concept of 100%.

 

In any other game? Meh, the content is forced anyway, especially in modern games.

So it's really not worth it at all.

[TOMahwk 351]

I always try for 100%.

 

However it's a matter of giving up and getting bored.

 

If you look at a game like Fallout 3, not looking at trophies, I will not 100% it because I get bored fairly easily.

 

Most modern games either are too easy to 100% and then focus on multiplayer, or are too forced like Fallout or Skyrim.

[Gizmo 206]

My OCD compels me to go for 100%

 

Sadly it's only in video games that I have OCD lol

 

There isn't a game I haven't finished playing that isn't 100-125% (#-125% because sometimes there's DLCs that are weird and because the Devs get lazy they just make the achievement % above 100% )

Only slackers complete a level with 4/5 stars...

 

I unlock all content and finish the game with "Swag" as my rating.

[Simcity11100 772]

Am I the only one that doesn't really care for 100%, no, just that there's no point when a game tells you, you beat it, you beat it.

[Strafe 596]

Only if it's a game I like.

[Apple Bloom 2,934]

Nope. I NEVER go for 100%. It's just not fun to me trying to get every little thing. I usually just try to complete the game and move on to something else. The only games I've found myself going back to and collecting stuff, doing side missions, etc. is Zelda. Zelda is my favorite series so I love going back, exploring, and looking for stuff I missed. Even then though, I don't go for 100%. It just gets tedious and boring.

[Tyger 213]

Attaining 100% completion is a bit too excessive. Halo: Reach, despite the fact of its infamous features bashed by the community itself, is the only game I have achieved 100%. I didn't target this completion for 100% intentionally, I though it was fairly easy and fun, so I just went on through with it anyways.

[Sight Watcher 15]

Really depends for me...I did it for the first two Mass Effect games. I'm not into multiplayer so only games I'll ever get all the achievements for are single-player. Gaming is an escape for me and I like to enjoy it by myself, which is why I've never been as into multiplayer

[Literally Snails 2,307]

I go for 100% then I make it 20% cooler. That turns it into some number I can't even name.

[Radiance64 7,053]

Depends on the game really, particularly if the game tells you how much you've completed, like a Metroid game for instance- I've 100%ed Metroid Prime 2, Prime 3 and Other M because it was easy to tell when I got everything in them. I tend to not 100% stuff like side scrolling platformers though, I prefer to just play straight through those.

[Rudehamster 156]

I did... then I played just cause 2... and came to the sudden realization... i would never get 100%

[DozzyDash 24]

I usually go for 100% achievements but I never really actually get to 100% I get bored.

[Discordian 6,015]

Almost never. It's not really worth the effort imo.

 

No prize most of the time and the whole "Feeling of accomplishment" does nothing for me when I have to work THAT hard for it.

 

100% is not for me at all, I stay as far away from it as possible. Doesn't mean I don't do optional stuff but I don't strive to do it if I don't feel like it. I'll probably never beat Emerald and Ruby weapon in FFVII, Ozma in FFIX, 120 stars in Super Mario Galaxy, etc.

 

Just not worth the effort when I could spend the time trying to 100% a game playing another game.

[SrFrog 927]

Nope and the reason being is that most of the time they feel like cheap filling to justify a 60 dollar investment without the need to add more to gameplay.

[Guest]

I haven't even fully beaten many of my games, let alone go to 100% on them. I have KH 1 and 2 up to 95 % in the story and I won't finish them, the same story with many other games I have. Why do I do this, I think the medic can answer that question for me...

 

[Starshine 16,335]

Everything depends on whether I enjoyed the gameplay or not

 

The only games I've 100% completed so far is Persona 3/4 and Ar Tonelico series. Because they got this weird 'sense of accomplishment' whenever you collected something new. Not just merely another number in the status bar

[bloodyfox 65]

I usually only go for 100% if I really like the game. I've played games before and my mentality was "OHMYGOD is it over yet!?" I just wanted to get through them as quick as possible.

[LunaShy 169]

i usually try to finish a game but 100 only games i LOVE IE- halo/skyrim/Mass effect

[Shankveld 4,951]

I've 100% most games only because I get really into them and make it my life goal to complete them, but some have proven too difficult for my mortal brain

~ ;p

[ELRealBoredmario64 24]

I like watching other ppl do.

[LowfatEnvelope 335]

There are only four games i think i ever went for 100% on (ACHIEVEMENT wise. I haven't ever bothered with getting everything if it comes down to multiplayer rank), and those were CoD: MW2 (simply because it was easy), Halo: Reach (i was one achievement away before the latest map pack. Just had to get the 1million FF point one), Just Cause 2 (i was going for that because i just loved playing that game), and Halo 3. I don't think i could force my way through games that have multiplayer ranks AND achievements, there are just to darn many generally.

[Fox 5,331]

I used to beat games fully.... when I had time...
