Popular Post ZenRhino Posted September 18, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 18, 2019 I used to have a fairly decent Xbox Gamerscore at 100% completion, but it made me unhappy for the normal reasons…not playing games because they were too hard, worrying about glitches, stressing out about DLC etc etc. When I made the jump to PlayStation earlier this year, I resolved never to have a 100% account again. I still go for game completions where possible & enjoyable, but I also play anything I like, even if it means getting only half the trophies. Basically, I want to get the most out of each game without driving myself insane! So 7 months in and I think I have found finally found out my ideal completion percentage range - it’s somewhere between 80-82%. Any higher and I’d have to start worrying about DLC or avoid playing hard games. Any lower, and I’m probably not pushing myself to get what I can out of each game. Sure, it will drop lower when I start a new game, but my aim is to always get back in that range before starting a new one. Do you have a completion percentage range you aim for? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauersack Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 100% pretty much, though that is out of my reach currently, at least until I do some minor clean up and hide two absolute completion ruiners I probably will never complete due to their insane difficulty from my profile. My new goal if I actually give up on 100% for good would be somewhere around 95%, anything lower than that would just not sit well with me after some of the shit I did for completions sake, especially the ungodly grinds like Monster Hunter World or Orcs Must Die Unchained. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonviper666 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Try to stay at 100% it dont stop from playing harder games 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassylvania Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I like 99%. I think 100% is a little unrealistic because, in addition to the reasons you mentioned, the only way to maintain it is not to play anything else. In an ideal world, I'll always be working on something, and constantly moving the goal posts helps with that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Helyx Posted September 18, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 18, 2019 One of the main reasons I try to get 100% in all my games is because I'm cheap as hell. I feel like seeing the game at full completion signifies I drained all the money from the title. Games where I'm not compelled to complete them or I was just terrible at the game taunt me as a waste of money. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starcrunch061 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 100% is always the ideal. I don't always get there, though, but that's what I hope for when I start a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caju_94 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Getting 100% is near to impossible for me now, since FFXV multiplayer trophies "migrated" to another stack. I mean, I could get the 100%, but it would be too grindy and the main thing I want to have while gaming is fun, whether I care or not about the trophies. It's true that sometimes I did not start to play a game for the plat length and/or difficulty. I've been playing and grinding the easier games, and now, most of my backlog consist of games with UR plats and long grinds. These last weeks, I made a little bit of platinum "hiatus" and only plat a game whenever I feel like. I won't oblige myself to grind if I don't want to. If I enjoy the grind, fine. If I don't, I may leave it for later. I tried to have always >80% and I almost reached 84% and I started DriveClub and suddenly decreased to 79%. But I guess >75% is really fine for me. For "elitists", 75% might be awful, but >75% is still impressive for me. I mean, it's three slices of a cake out of four. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pot1414 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) If I fail to achieve 100% in a game I cry myself to sleep.Fortunately It has never happened. Also going for 100% doesn't mean that you have to avoid hard games.If you do, don't blame anyone but yourself.

Solid-Fisch Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 It's a bit difficult. I like to take care about my account but on the other hand I reject let all the trophy stuff taking too much space in my life. I know people that are taking this way too serious and some even don't have a life, but in the end it's up to you how much time you invest into this so judging about this is rather pointless. I don't focus on the leaderboard because I don't wanna be a trophy whore and level up quickly by just playing shitty games (even though I have a few in my list...). Since people share accounts, using multiple consoles, glitches, guides etc. the ranking is all obscure anyway. I still play a game basically for fun and I've never rejected a game that I was really interested in just because the trophies are hard to achieve. But I don't judge anybody who does so, I just don't see these guys as any competition, since there is no competition anyway... Having said that, I still like to get 100% in my games, you can say I'm my own opponent in this case. Mostly I succeed, sometimes not. I would be really happy with a 95% completion though.

snakebit10 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I'm at the door of 79%. Was over it but started Wolfenstein Youngblood. Trying to get into the 80 to 84% range. Once I do I think that will be a good % for me. I know I'll never reach 100% because of server closures. I'm not about to start a new profile just so I could maintain a 100% profile.

Upendo_Vitani Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I'm happy when I get back up to 70%. I'm just trying to keep mine above 65% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenpai Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Somewhere between 90 and 100%. I'm never going to get 100% again due to some harder games I played, but as long as I can keep it around 95%, I'll be satisfied. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaserPL Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I don't care tbh. I have so many unobtainable games/DLC's that are way too expensive for me to even bother buying them. Right now I'm cleaning up my PS3 backlog and we will see how things turn out. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myst1ry Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 95% I would be happy with. Right now I'm around 91%. Just trying to clean up some trophies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennethMcCormick Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) I try my best and entertain the notion of 100% while playing a game, but some escape me because I lack the skill and/or the time, or are now plain impossible due to servers closures, DLC being delisted or buggy trophy. So my first goal would be to get to 95% (almost there, slowly finishing old games between new ones), but my ideal would be a tiny bit more, so that I could remain at 95% even when starting a new game. So around 95.5/96%, I guess. Edited September 18, 2019 by KennethMcCormick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I need more BIOSHOCK Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 It really doesn't bother me that much and never has. Don't get me wrong it would be a boss feeling having a 100% completion but I imagine it would cause more stress if anything with constantly having to worry if you can definitely get the next game done and always having to fear playing any game you like just randomly. I'd rather just play what I want with no stress or worries ? playing for fun and enjoyment is what it's always been about for me. I'd never want my favourite past time to feel like work. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W571WE Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Id say 80s is ideal for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPageMartin36 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Currently 70%. Would hate to ever drop below 50%, and ideally I'd love to hit 75 or 80. I refuse to 'manufacture' it too much though. My priority is always fun over mindless repeat playthroughs etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatMuttGuy Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I don't have an ideal completion rate because I think it's a pointless stat. I don't play games all the way if I don't like them and I have precious little free time so I tend not to finish a lot of games that I do like as well. At one point I did try to raise my completion rate but I decided since then that trophy hunting doesn't need to be that serious. So my hunting and completion rate have gone down since then but I'm enjoying games a lot more now so it's a net gain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djb5f Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 90% is always the target, I was just over that before starting NBA 2K20 and MLB The Show 19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sofa King Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I try to 100% most games that I play but if I don't then that's fine, having and maintaining a 100% profile has never been on my radar. I'm between 75-76% right now and I'm satisfied with that. If I can get up to 80%+ even better, but I don't necessarily stress over it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaivRules Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Completion rate for my profile is something I look at occasionally but only in hindsight, not for a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamescush147 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Looks like I'll be around 90% forever. I don't mind that. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmland12 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I like being above 90%. It means I need to be thorough, but still gives room for some unobtainable trophies and DLC that I don't want to buy. I can also leave a game in the middle or whatever and do something else instead if I want. As long as I usually come back for it sometime later. Honestly, I think the most important thing is to find some goals or targets that work for you. Going for 100% would just not be something I'd enjoy, but I'm sure there are some who do. Maybe others would do better with a target of 80% or 70% or something else. Find what works for you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ_Radio Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 95 percent and up. 90 percent is my cutoff point. Anything above 75 percent is fine but you’re leaving yourself to a lot of unfinished games. 95 percent means you’re thorough. I have hard stuff like Super Meat Boy, Capcom Arcade Cabinet, Woah Dave! and DOOM 2 I’ll get done eventually. Some multiplayer stuff from Assassins Creed Revelations and Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag still remain unfinished. 100 percent is impossible, but I also think that creates too much stress and work for the player. If you can maintain that, then great, you’re better than most. But I don’t think it’s necessary in order to get the most out of your games and enjoy them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
