How is my game completion calculated?

[LancashireLad87]

Hey, I'm not sure if this question has already been answered, I couldn't find one by searching the forums. Can anyone explain how the trophy completion rate is calculated? If someone can earn say 600 trophies and they've earned 300 this should equate to a completion rate of 50% but the site doesn't calculate this way. Thanks!

It's an average of all your games' completions I think, rather than the super technical mathematical formula:

(shit you did) / (total shit to do) = % of shit completed

It's because trophies are worth different amounts. Earn a bronze, and that game's percentage goes up a percent or two. Earn a gold, and it goes up by like, 9%. And then the percentage of all completed/incomplete games factors into the overall percentage, like Helix said.

Profile completion rate and game completion rate are calculated using each trophies values (=15 =30 =90 =180 though plats don’t count for profile completion rate) not the number of trophies. So if a game is worth 1200 point total then getting 600 points worth of trophies will give you 50% game completion.

like all the post above stat. also as im sure you notice. they take in all the dlc into account as well. so you may have 80% of the base game but itll read like 45% or something cause it counts the dlc too

Little typo; Silver = 30

 

But other than that, this is very much how it works!

Also the leaderboard, both nationally and globally, it can be calculated from the number of games you have, which is kind of tedious because even if you have 30 games at 100% with platinums, you will still be in place 500,000 worldwide while someone with 1,200 games with a 75% is at place 200 around. Really awkward, smh.

The leaderboards are also based on points. The more points you have, the higher your ranking. It has nothing to do with completion rate. 30 games at 100% could give you 36,000 points while 1200 games at 75% could give you one million points.

Also important is that games at 0% completion aren't counted on the completion at the top of the profile, but are counted when you look at your completion in the stats section. I think at least.

Thanks for the information, I appreciate it. Bronze trophies aren't worth a lot, some bronze trophies I have tried to earn are more difficult than some silver/golds.

Any reason why PS (or this site btw) works like that? Instead of giving them points or more clear values for them, they just give us by the color of the trophies, instead as gamerscore with achievements, where they are exactly values with the points they give, rather than the symbol for that value. I find this really sad.

Also I'd like to add that 0% trophy sets aren't totaled into your completion percentage for some reason.

I totally disagree with that, in my case I hate the gamerscore because knowing it means nothing, you can have 30.000 of gamerscore and it could mean 30 games at 1.000 or 300 at 100... But if you see a PSN Trophy Card and you see the plats or gold trophies (Well, lets ignore than ratalaika and similar destroyed that in the last years) you know that person finished completely a game or got the toughest trophies on some of them... And knowing the points of each type of trophy is just 1 minute of google tbh...

They're pretty much the same. As ultra rare trophies, there are rare achievements. TA records that too, but yeah, the layout and the manner it's presented in both consoles differ a lot. However, to me seems to be pretty much the same mechanic and calculation in both instances. Also, few hard trophies are sometimes bronze, so that can be misleading a little bit. But I respect your view, though.

Just a note. 

 

The completion % does not count Platinum trophy points. So, the example isn't totally write. 

 

This is because a Platinum trophy increases does not increase an individual game % completion (that's why people can have a game at 99% completion by missing a Bronze trophy and the Platinum). 

 

As others mentioned, 0% games are ignored for the completion %.

Because they didn't want to copy Microsoft, do something on their own. So they came up with something else, although in essence, it is the same system, just with fixed values for Trophies (15, 30, 90) instead of developers being able to use more kinds of values but at the same time giving a more intrinsic value. Bronze you put as something easy, gold as something more meaningful. And it allows them to do better 'branding' like doing a contest where you could win an actual Platinum Trophy.
