Message: [QUOTE="Turbo Kid, post: 338589, member: 859511"] I'm a perfectionist, so I always have the goal of 100% completion in EVERY game that I play. I also think it's a great way to get to know a game intimately. Completionists will generally know every little detail about a game and understand its nuances and mechanics and secrets far more than casual players will. This can make you appreciate a game a whole lot more. Like you can't TRULY appreciate the amount of work that goes into a platform game's level design if you are not actually hunting down every secret and collecting every coin in my opinion. It also gives you a leg up when you're debating a game's merits (or lack thereof) with another gamer who doesn't know the game as well as you do. If I know a game inside and out I can make better arguments for or against it. That said, sometimes it's not worth it. Some games have absurd requirements for completion, especially when you add in ridiculous trophy and achievement requirements like 7 Day Survivor in Dead Rising. This is one of the reasons I game on the Switch these days where I don't have to deal with that trophy/achievement ecosystem. 100% completion for me no longer requires the kind of crazy or dumb bullshit you typically see in achievement and trophy requirements like doing some asinine thing 1000 times or completing some ridiculously difficult task that was clearly thought up by a sadistic Douchebag developer. Also. sometimes I will come to realize that I'm not enjoying the game that I'm playing and don't want to even beat it much less go for 100% [/QUOTE]
