Popular Post amebapiko Posted December 23, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 23, 2013 I don't think that the "Completed Games" statistic is a fair representation of your actual completed games. You may think it is the truthful amount of completed games but I disagree and feel there's room for extended accuracy. People may have completed 100% without the downloadable content in which they have not purchased and therefore won't be adding to the completed games count. My suggestion is to have the "Completed Games" statistic for the Base Game but for obvious purposes add a "DLC Completed" statistic also. It was just something I had in my head from yesterday, just an idea, nothing major, any opinions on this? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_Banfield Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I agree, would also be good to only have dlc affect your completion percentage of a game if you have played that dlc For example my saints row plat is nowhere near 100% because of dlc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memnoch Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) I'll start this post by thinking the same thing myself a few months ago - and took some time to to think about it. We actually it is fair in my opinion - you have the plat to say that the base game is 100% complete, that is the best metric - fully completed games include DLC, which makes sense. In the same way, your completion rate includes DLC Both of these make sense and are the best ratios possible, as there are already other metrics available for the stats asked Edited December 23, 2013 by Memnoch 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amebapiko Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 How would that work for games like littleBigPlanet 1 and mirrors edge? You mean dlc added before it was actually recognised as a dlc? Well it won't work. I'll start this post by thinking the same thing myself a few months ago - and took some time to to think about it. We actually it is fair in my opinion - you have the plat to say that the base game is 100% complete, that is the best metric - fully completed games include DLC, which makes sense. That was the only thing that kind of counted this. You get the platinum trophy to show the base game is complete. I just felt it was mainly for the stats sake, if you forget the platinum, if that makes any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splatter392 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Nice idea, I hope this'll get added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BeautifulTorment Posted December 23, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 23, 2013 You have a platinum trophy counter already. Why would you want to homogenize the games completed stat when you already have that counter? A platted game that isn't 100% is not complete.. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amebapiko Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 Yeah, it's just an idea, thought it be better to post it then to just let it sit in my brain, no worries if it's not going to work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merciful84 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 You bring up a good issue but for a different reason for me. I think the term "completed" is a misrepresentation. You can complete a game without getting all the trophies for it. Achieving all trophies is more like "mastering" the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Connie Posted December 23, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 23, 2013 If you ain't getting all them DLC trophies you ain't completing the game, 100%. Some games have 100% completion stats, and when they do you have to do everything in the game to get that to 100%. So if you aren't doing the DLC, that ain't 100% dawg. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, its like in Red Dead Redemption, you have to get 100% completion in the game, without the DLC's. You get the game complete but not 100% of the trophies, it's diferent things. I hava the platinum for Uncharted 3, but because I don't have the DLC's I only have 51% of the trophies, and that doesn't count as a completed game, but it is completed. DLC's are only extras, they should count separatly from the base game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerosol_grey Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Maybe what is needed is a base games completed stat. This would be different from the platinum count as it would include non-platinum games but would exclude dlc. As someone who doesn't in general buy dlc I would find this interesting as it would give me a clearer idea of how I am doing and is a number that cannot at the moment be deduced from the stats available on the site. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doom Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) Edit: oops previous post was a misunderstanding. Anyway. I don't get it. If a trophy list gets extended and you don't buy the DLC, you don't have 100%. Blame it on the developers.

BlindMango Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) I also agree that a platinum is, in fact, 100% without DLC, and the main game with DLC completed is a true 100% statistic so I don't think we'd need a "100% without DLC" stat seeing as that is already "platinum", haha.

Amonares Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) AMAZING IDEA THAT SHOULD HAPPEN What if you see someone with 10 platinums but all of them have DLCs so it says 0 completed. C'mon, it's a little bit sad. Or instead of completed games; "Platinumed Games" or "Games Platinumed". Edited July 10, 2021 by Amonares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrunoBomb Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I think that's a good featre but unfortanelly there are games that will not suffer modifications just because SONY don't count on the trophy lists it has DLCs like LittleBigPlanet.

Ka-Pi96 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I think it should stay as it is. DLC is a part of the game and you have not really completed a game unless you've done it as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Completed is completed. "I got the plat but I didn't do the DLC" is not completed. You get the plat as the reward for getting the plat, you get 100% completionas the reward for getting 100% completion. Yes, I'm speaking in trueisms because I think it's obvious what "completed" means. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonoid321 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 How would that work for games like littleBigPlanet 1 and mirrors edge? you get the limited edition... its really cheap only like 10 dollars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 you get the limited edition... its really cheap only like 10 dollars Wat. This just proves that it's a bad idea. If you have a version of the game with all the trophies, and one with some of the trophies, then one "core game" includes the 100% and one doesn't, so what do you count as "extra" for this proposed metric? What about stuff like The Walking Dead Vita that is, to my knowledge, only available with the 400 Days DLC included? Surely having a "DLC completed" extra for that makes no sense? So, basically, we're left with an inconsistent, messy "feature" that would need to be done by hand for about 2,500 games. Joy of joys. Let's not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
