Recently tried 100%ing Majora's Mask but there's so much dumb shit to do for random pieces of heart, let alone even finding it all without looking it up. The mask collection and payoff is more rewarding.
I think I have 100% in Armored Core Project Phantasma and it was still fun but that's a unique case of not having a lot of ancillary bullshit so 100% is just doing every mission and beating every arena opponent, and I can't be fricked in any other AC game where you have to kill every AC that appears, do a bunch of hidden stuff and special mission requirements, and/or S rank every mission. Might get there for MoA or AA eventually, never ever doing it for any of the games from 3 and up.
I have played a lot of games where I enjoyed 100%ing a game and I've played plenty of others where I didn't think it was worth it. Sounds like you just don't like games
Yeah, to each your own. I can understand people who like that garbage as a personal preference.
What I don't understand are homosexuals such as yourself that don't realize that principle cuts both ways; people can HATE that shit.
>people who like garbage
You've really never played an actual good game, huh? Maybe you should just stop playing shitty games

More or less. I'll grind my ass off to achieve something I want to, even if the game doesn't acknowledge it, but arbitrary completion % or cheevos? Miss me with that gay shit.
There are games that feel thrilling and satisfying to 100% after beating the main story, but it's unfortunately a rare thing. Rarer these days now that game devs like doing the monotonous MMO garbage to fill their games up with pointless shallow bullshit.
I remember being a kid and spending hours upon hours running around that tree top level, having little break throughs like realizing you could run the map backwards and seeing far out spots I couldn't get to. Frick it felt good figuring that shit out.
The short-lived satisfaction of 100%ing a game can be pretty thrilling. It’s only after you realize what you’ve done that the guilt and shame start to settle in.
I can at least appreciate the games where 100% is just part of beating the game, like Pikmin 1 for example.
Games that put you through hours of collectathon bullshit in a non-collectathon game, or other forced autism for an ending can go to hell though. Unless I like the game then it's fine.
I agree but I still try to 100% as many games as I can tolerate. That way I can tell myself "I have done all the bullshit, seen all there is to see and taken in all the "worldbuilding" there is so that if I ever decide to replay this game in the future, then I'll be fine just zipping through the main story".
the core of yakuza games is fun but all of the tacked on shit is gushing, unfiltered slop. 100%ing one game would be bad enough, it's fricking insane that people 100% them all when the process of doing so is basically repeating all the exact same shit each new game
Fricking want to smack whoever made beating all of the minigames count towards %.
Nah you are just weak, the only frustrating shit is when somebody on the devteam has a stroke and goes overboard with for how many times you have to play a minigame to complete it.
Like 3s Billiards, 4s Koi-Koi, spear fishing in 6 etc.
Every single yakuza game has some arbitrary bullshit that ruins the 100% experience.
0 has JCC, Tiger and Dragon, and the arcade games
Kiwami has collecting every single weapon and gear
3 has absurd golf, billiards and bowling requirements
6 has puyo puyo and grinding spearfishing/clan creator etcetc
I go for 100%s in these games and they're not hard but I would almost never recommend anyone else go for them.
Nah I have completed the whole mainline and some side games and it maybe racks up to a thousand hours, maybe a bit more, across the franchise, I have that much in plenty other games.
Ironically elden ring is a breeze to plat, by the time I finished my first playthrough all I was missing was like one weapon and two accessories.
Of course they make you do the other endings too but lol just wrong warp.
inb4 hurp durp boomer babby shit
Anyway, same could be said about plenty of old games that just unlocked true endings and shit if you got all the collectibles or got all secrets.
Even doing all Achievements for them, should they somehow end up on a newer platform is usually a blast.
I think crash 4s 100% completion would've been looked upon a bit more favorably if they didn't make the n.verted levels a thing. it's just blatant padding
Yeah the nverted levels are just bs, also the hitbox of the vehicles like polar or the alien are fricked up, I think they fixed it but haven¿t touched the game since I complete it and then gave up on my 100% at the end of the artic world
i got everyone's weapon in FF10. Beat Ninja Gaiden on Hard. Beat Halo on Brutal. then basically stopped beating most games I played since 2004. Everything is sandbox now almost just do what you want achievements are for poopsockers.
hollow knight. i havent even bothered trying the 5th pantheon cause i know its just going to piss me off. sitting at 62/63 achievements eternally.
i finally got around to ffx recently, but boy does the post game get grindy. also i want to slap whatever jap designed those shitty minigames and decided to lock some of the best weapons behind them.
Once you finish the main game, you unlock these things called Grottos. They're basically random dungeon seeds, think Disgaea or Diablo. But you need to get certain ones to get the post game items and bosses. They're obtained through street pass trading with other players or by completing other grottos. Basically, you'll be grinding grottos for hundreds of hours to get the specific ones you need. Then grinding for the best gear to defeat certain bosses in those grottos.
>Mainly the feathers
The feathers are fricking awful
And your reward? One throwaway line from Ezio's mom and a cape that makes you insta-wanted.
Bullshit
The last game I 100% was Death Stranding because there was frick all else better to do with the state of the country/world at the time. That took it from like a 7 to a 5/10 for me
I got everything except the dumb USB sticks. Just seemed like annoying busy work. I imagine I'd have a much lower opinion of it had I tried to get those
You definitely would, I didn't think the game was all that even before that point but I did really like the release timing of it with wuflu. I should have just left it alone after I finished it.
Right now, Amid Evil dlc, and not even 100%ing just finishing it. The level design is great but these fricking shield enemies just suck the entire fun out of the game any time they're around.
Super Mario Sunshine. Getting the 60 mandatory Shines and beating Bowser? Awesome. Going after 100% completion? I'd rather sandpaper all the skin off of my dick and stick it in lemon juice.
i ended up getting something like 118 sprites when i was young playing that, but goddamn, whoever came up with the blue coin thing with that game is a moron. i never could find them all and gave up. turns out the reward for getting all of them is really underwhelming too.
Donkey Kong 64
than game is exhausting. i did 100% it as a kid, but came back recently and ran out of steam in the mushroom forest.
Blue coins would have been completely fine if they didn't make some of them exclusive to certain shines. I don't know what the frick they were thinking.
The game was just rushed. Like every stage had at least 2 red coin shines, and every stage had a shadow Mario stage. Lotta repeat bosses too. Probably nearly 50 shines involve collecting coins. Crazy that they got away with that tbh
>Wanting to play game >Not wanting to miss anything >Not want to play games at all
Maybe someday soon I'll go back to Xenoblade 2, it's only been 6 years since I stopped playing.
Currently Wonderful 101, though im just going as far as to get all Wonderful Ones and try to get at least platinum on everything and maybe Hard difficulty, maybe.
good fricking luck
https://kidicarus.fandom.com/wiki/Hades%27s_Treasure_Hunt
You know you can just the feathers, right? There are enough feathers for each image to fill shit like multiplayer achievements, I even nerfed myself and used all of the feathers for the third image so I wouldnt be able to just buy the "complete the Boss Rush on Hard" and then failed to do it and uninstalled the game in shame, Pit's body broke me.. If it wasnt for that one I would have 100%d the game easily.
I was just playing DK Tropical Freeze and thinking about how tedious it must be to 100%
Hiding puzzle pieces behind banana lines and having to pound every single breakable object in a level and only getting one shot at bonus levels, suiciding if you fail each time
it must be a nightmare if you dont use a guide
Nah, it's fine. You kinda just go off intuition. Then you can come back through with Squawks and let him scream at you.
It's hell of a lot easier than getting 100% in the SNES games.
The grind doesn't even make the end-game worth it. Once you get everything you need the superbosses barely put up a fight. Even Penance is just a monotonous loop of the same actions once you know the strategy.
yeah those sucked >hurrr spray this thing 5 miles away before its gone! >durr go to this specific mission on this level and spray this innocuous spot! >do you like farming lives? well get ready to farm some for this coin cause you're gonna die a bunch
I did it in BOTW on both runs but they jacked up the prices in TOTK to buy pictures so I doubt I will.
BotW and TotK, i like them, i really do, had a blast with TotKs main quest like you wouldn't believe but no fricking way in hell 100% those games.
Yeah I loved doing both games to get all the main stuff like armor, side quests, and shrines but I'd never go for full 100%, I'd do it for most other Zelda games though (just finished Majora's Mask 100% the other day)
I can't imagine how insane someone must be to want to finish the compendium

Almost did it twice for BotW if not for the Master Mode Sword Trials being broken AF also had the stipulation that I needed 10 of each item. Currently doing the same in TotK.
I also 100%ed Just Cause 2 because Im clearly a masochist.
Are there any opposites of this? Where it's actually fun to 100% the game?
Only one that comes to mind is Pizza Tower. The ranking system is incredibly generous and there isn't a single level where you have to pull autistic pixel perfect moves. You can get like 60% of the cheevos by accident in your first playthrough too.
If you play Super Mario 64 any other way than getting all 120 stars, you're simply doing it wrong
Same goes for the entire Pikmin quadrilogy
Ocarina of time is always super chill to 100%
>Are there any opposites of this? Where it's actually fun to 100% the game?
Dragon Quest VIII
Kirby 64/Canvas Curse/Return to Dreamland/Forgotten Land
Oboro Muramasa Summer Memories
Lobotomy corp was incredibly fun to 100%. Its required for the true ending too unless you include backer abnormalities which can be disabled in the settings
Most Zelda games from Wind Waker and beyond
Hollow knight if you count the gay arena bullshit as full completion
Donkey Kong Country, some of that shit is just way too hidden
Mario Odyssey I'm weirdly sadistic enough to enjoy 100% completing Mario sunshine, I've done it at least three times casually
fromsoft games always have some dumb "go grind a whole bunch after you've beaten the whole game and every boss to get all the upgrades and weapons" achievement.
Crash 1 and 2.
Frick platinum relics. Some of the hardest shit I have ever done in a video game. Got so burned out that I didn’t even attempt Crash 3 beyond it’s first level.
Not even something where the game is basically built around it, like Mario 64? That's a really fun one to 100% and you get some neat little rewards. Special ending dialogue, a new jump, a new area opened up, a much harder variant to a minigame, and a cameo from a beloved character,
I 100%Super Mario World. I found Star Road all on my own while abusing the cape power up to skip through entire levels. It was a HOLYSHIT moment for younger me to have found that secret.
I have a hard time deciding whether I should judge a game based on its side content. If the main game is good, I can just ignore the bad side stuff, right? However, I have ultimately decided that bad side content does drag a game down. I don't care if it's not required, if the devs put it in the game it should be good. If it is not good, then it is the fault of the devs. They either should have made it better or not included it at all.
Mad Max.
The last achievement is to complete all of the challenges, got about half way through the challenges before I realized a bunch of the enemy types have most of their spawns locked to game progress so it turned into an absolute slog. Then when I was turning in something to an npc I got launched through the floor and down a cliff and the check point somehow prevented me from handing in while also not counting towards completion. Uninstalled immediately.
Fricking all of them. Every time I felt like "oh, I've already done so many side activities, why don't I finish the rest of them" I ended up exhausted af. Regardless if I managed to get 100% or dropped.
The worst game I have bothered to "100%" was Dragons dogma, doing all the quests took several runs because of shitty time restraints that just are obtuse, and getting the different types of gear. I'm sure there is other shit to really 100% it that aren't in the platinum, for example get all the characters at the Grigori moment, but that's moronic.
Had a friend who did it. I finally played it and wasn't even halfway into world 2 before I started wondering what fricking demon he made a pact with to do it.
As a completionist I love 100%ing most games. I even 100% every asscreed game (origins, odyssey, and valhalla got ridiculous).
But frick me if I'll ever 100% a Yakuza game. I got like 200 hours in Yakuza 0 and didnt even come close. Its just not fun at all. At least with asscreed youre just on autopilot holding forward to a marker and spamming attack. But Yakuza is like you have to git gud at all these old arcade games, mahjong, shogi, etc then do some rng weapon shop shit for 50 hours, get all these arbitrary "do/kill # things" challenges. You cant even go on autopilot, its boring shit you have to be engaged and good at, and none of it is fun. Then when I played other Yakuza games its literally all the same exact shit.
RDR2 might be the worst for it. To gold star every mission you have to complete 3 challenges that usually work in tandem to be bullshit, there's no indication if you failed a challenge until after the mission, most of them seem to bug on replay so it's best to start a whole new game and do them the first time around and the worst part is you frick up and it's back to camp to do the same 20 minute slow ride into the 30 minute cutscene before you can even attempt it again.
I recently had this experience when trying to finish up enter the gungeon. Went from a b/b+ to a c-/d+ for me. I just had absolute shit luck trying to finish up the hunts for the finished gun. Swear to god, the damn hunt targets just refused to spawn for hours on end. This butthurt just fricking snowballed when getting the rat items. It wasn't so bad getting the first 3 items when just getting used to punchout, but the fourth one just refused to drop. Admittedly, getting good was the solution there (and I accidentally learned how to get four keys in my final attempt), but i was misinformed about how the keys dropped and punchout is just a weird thing to adjust to. Anyway, using RNG to extend playtime ruins games. The only thing worse is using literal time with nothing else like with xb2 and ursula.
>Final mission is a secret boss >phase 2 spams the same combo over and over again with only a small opening and stun immunity >has a OS grab it can use to alternate from the combo sometimes
No amount of intro theme as background music will make me like this thing.
Crash 4 IAT is this for sure. I actually enjoyed it just playing through to the final boss. It was seeing what I had to do to 100% it where the cracks started to show
Gran Turismo 2 at the moment. At first I was having fun getting gold licenses then the strict requirements turned me off to just getting silvers. Then I realised silver is effectively no different to bronze. Now I just want to win each race and be done.
I know we all used to care about cheevos at some point.
When did you stop? What was the final straw?
For me I don't quite remember what the game was, but I remember that on like day 3 of going for 100% after beating it I looked at what I was doing and realised I wasn't having fun.
A combination of multiple annoying types of cheevos >Multiplayer-player only achievements >Do [menial task] 1000 times >Collect 500 of these tiny hidden things >Now do the whole thing without dying >Now do it all again in less than 2 hours
>speedrunning achievements >the game isn't even fun to play more than once
What's the point, just make an arcade style game if you want to make those kind of achievements
Love INFRA but 100% would be a nightmare. Normal playthrough is 20+ hours, 300 geocaches (I only found less than 5 per act), find every piece of evidence and secrets in a game that is known to hide stuff effectively. Even with a guide, I think it will take 30-40 hours to get them.
OK, I double check and it seems that the total number of geocaches is way lower. I was mainly just looking at the locked achievements which for some reason only displays percentage. My bad
I'm tempted to just get a save before Shibusawa in Legend in Yakuza 0. It's going to take me some time to do the JCC bet, 3 arcade games, all the mats and the endless bout and I can't be bothered to play the game again after all that.
all of them
FPBP, but pokemon. Or any Gacha game that relys on luck and a massive amount of characters for you to constantly grind the same thing over and over to get.

Unironically this. There's a reason you go for the achievements once and never again.
>bothering with achievements

this except maybe lego star wars. You get cool bonus levels and a coin fountain at the end for 100% completion

Deus Ex. I've replayed it (original, gmdx, revision) dozens of times, and each time I found something I had missed before.

Any Fire Emblem with supports. Especially with support limits
YOSHI'S ISLAND
FRICK THOSE EXTRA LEVELS
Currently Wonderful 101, though im just going as far as to get all Wonderful Ones and try to get at least platinum on everything and maybe Hard difficulty, maybe.
You know you can just the feathers, right? There are enough feathers for each image to fill shit like multiplayer achievements, I even nerfed myself and used all of the feathers for the third image so I wouldnt be able to just buy the "complete the Boss Rush on Hard" and then failed to do it and uninstalled the game in shame, Pit's body broke me.. If it wasnt for that one I would have 100%d the game easily.
>feathers
you didn't 100% the game
part of the 100% is to have the full "collection" of feathers so to speak
same applies to the hammers in brawl
I was just playing DK Tropical Freeze and thinking about how tedious it must be to 100%
Hiding puzzle pieces behind banana lines and having to pound every single breakable object in a level and only getting one shot at bonus levels, suiciding if you fail each time
it must be a nightmare if you dont use a guide
Nah, it's fine. You kinda just go off intuition. Then you can come back through with Squawks and let him scream at you.
It's hell of a lot easier than getting 100% in the SNES games.
Final Fantasy X. I still hate myself for doing all the extra shit.
The grind doesn't even make the end-game worth it. Once you get everything you need the superbosses barely put up a fight. Even Penance is just a monotonous loop of the same actions once you know the strategy.
minish cap
since its release i've only incidentally 100%ed games, i'm in retirement from doing it deliberately after that mess
what the frick are you talking about minish cap is fi-
>those fricking gacha statuettes
oh right
Elden Ring. Horse riding simulator for $60
This game and it’s blue coins literally ruined collectibles as a whole for me
yeah those sucked
>hurrr spray this thing 5 miles away before its gone!
>durr go to this specific mission on this level and spray this innocuous spot!
>do you like farming lives? well get ready to farm some for this coin cause you're gonna die a bunch
>corona mountain blue coins
what the actual frick were they thinking
BotW and TotK, i like them, i really do, had a blast with TotKs main quest like you wouldn't believe but no fricking way in hell 100% those games.
I can't imagine how insane someone must be to want to finish the compendium
I did it in BOTW on both runs but they jacked up the prices in TOTK to buy pictures so I doubt I will.
Yeah I loved doing both games to get all the main stuff like armor, side quests, and shrines but I'd never go for full 100%, I'd do it for most other Zelda games though (just finished Majora's Mask 100% the other day)
Almost did it twice for BotW if not for the Master Mode Sword Trials being broken AF also had the stipulation that I needed 10 of each item. Currently doing the same in TotK.
I also 100%ed Just Cause 2 because Im clearly a masochist.

Nuclear throne.
Chain of Memories
As someone who has the plats for all the KH game collections, BBS is much worse than Re:CoM.
Danganronpa V3.
Rabi Ribi almost broke my spirit. Fun game tho.

good fricking luck

Are there any opposites of this? Where it's actually fun to 100% the game?
Only one that comes to mind is Pizza Tower. The ranking system is incredibly generous and there isn't a single level where you have to pull autistic pixel perfect moves. You can get like 60% of the cheevos by accident in your first playthrough too.
If you play Super Mario 64 any other way than getting all 120 stars, you're simply doing it wrong
Same goes for the entire Pikmin quadrilogy
Ocarina of time is always super chill to 100%
NEO: TWEWY for me with a few time trials as exceptions
Lob corp
Just Cause 3
Valkyria Chronicles
FF7
Ratchet & Clanks
Spyros
Celeste
Stardew Valley
Terraria
>Are there any opposites of this? Where it's actually fun to 100% the game?
Dragon Quest VIII
Kirby 64/Canvas Curse/Return to Dreamland/Forgotten Land
Oboro Muramasa
Summer Memories
Lobotomy corp was incredibly fun to 100%. Its required for the true ending too unless you include backer abnormalities which can be disabled in the settings
Which you should absolutely not as theyre all pretty good.
I agree except for Ppodae
Jak 2
>miss 1 orb, no way to retry afterwards

Most Zelda games from Wind Waker and beyond
Hollow knight if you count the gay arena bullshit as full completion
Donkey Kong Country, some of that shit is just way too hidden
Mario Odyssey
I'm weirdly sadistic enough to enjoy 100% completing Mario sunshine, I've done it at least three times casually
>Donkey Kong Country, some of that shit is just way too hidden
>the factory level with the unlockable bonus within the bonus
Anything open world.
Hollow Knight.
Wind Waker
fromsoft games always have some dumb "go grind a whole bunch after you've beaten the whole game and every boss to get all the upgrades and weapons" achievement.
Crash 1 and 2.
Frick platinum relics. Some of the hardest shit I have ever done in a video game. Got so burned out that I didn’t even attempt Crash 3 beyond it’s first level.
you're only supposed to speedrun 3, it was actually built for it. not the first two
I dont think Ive ever 100% a game
Not even something where the game is basically built around it, like Mario 64? That's a really fun one to 100% and you get some neat little rewards. Special ending dialogue, a new jump, a new area opened up, a much harder variant to a minigame, and a cameo from a beloved character,
I 100%Super Mario World. I found Star Road all on my own while abusing the cape power up to skip through entire levels. It was a HOLYSHIT moment for younger me to have found that secret.
Wind Waker by a mile.
Thought it was okay when I beat the story, thought it was even worse than Twilight Princess after 100% both.
Some of those heart pieces were absolutely awful. The Korok spring water one and Windfall battleship minigame stick out in mind.
sometimes I replay a game over and over and then use an achievement unlocker and unlock em one by one.
I have a hard time deciding whether I should judge a game based on its side content. If the main game is good, I can just ignore the bad side stuff, right? However, I have ultimately decided that bad side content does drag a game down. I don't care if it's not required, if the devs put it in the game it should be good. If it is not good, then it is the fault of the devs. They either should have made it better or not included it at all.
Should achievents even be considered as part of 100%ing a game? I'e always seen them as something seperate, but maybe I'm just dumb
I wouldn't count it if you go up to 100% on an in-game tracker but you're still missing achievements
Mad Max.
The last achievement is to complete all of the challenges, got about half way through the challenges before I realized a bunch of the enemy types have most of their spawns locked to game progress so it turned into an absolute slog. Then when I was turning in something to an npc I got launched through the floor and down a cliff and the check point somehow prevented me from handing in while also not counting towards completion. Uninstalled immediately.
Fricking all of them. Every time I felt like "oh, I've already done so many side activities, why don't I finish the rest of them" I ended up exhausted af. Regardless if I managed to get 100% or dropped.
Jesus frick this thread. Honestly, I shouldn't even be suprised that Ganker is this casual.
yes goyim ticking arbitrary boxes is supremely hardcore
If you've never autistically combed through every crack of a game you love, I don't even consider you a gamer.
>100% Jet Set Radio
Absolute fricking nightmare.
>100% Jet Set Radio Future
The best time in video games I've had.
>miss one jet ranking
>replay the entire fricking game
>get touched by a cop once
>replay the entire fricking game
Jet ranking isn't so bad but holy frick not getting touched by a cop once is complete cancer.
pure unfiltered frustration and tedium
The worst game I have bothered to "100%" was Dragons dogma, doing all the quests took several runs because of shitty time restraints that just are obtuse, and getting the different types of gear. I'm sure there is other shit to really 100% it that aren't in the platinum, for example get all the characters at the Grigori moment, but that's moronic.
Had a friend who did it. I finally played it and wasn't even halfway into world 2 before I started wondering what fricking demon he made a pact with to do it.
As a completionist I love 100%ing most games. I even 100% every asscreed game (origins, odyssey, and valhalla got ridiculous).
But frick me if I'll ever 100% a Yakuza game. I got like 200 hours in Yakuza 0 and didnt even come close. Its just not fun at all. At least with asscreed youre just on autopilot holding forward to a marker and spamming attack. But Yakuza is like you have to git gud at all these old arcade games, mahjong, shogi, etc then do some rng weapon shop shit for 50 hours, get all these arbitrary "do/kill # things" challenges. You cant even go on autopilot, its boring shit you have to be engaged and good at, and none of it is fun. Then when I played other Yakuza games its literally all the same exact shit.
any game with speedrun achievements
Any Rockstar game
RDR2 might be the worst for it. To gold star every mission you have to complete 3 challenges that usually work in tandem to be bullshit, there's no indication if you failed a challenge until after the mission, most of them seem to bug on replay so it's best to start a whole new game and do them the first time around and the worst part is you frick up and it's back to camp to do the same 20 minute slow ride into the 30 minute cutscene before you can even attempt it again.
Dead Rising
Yakuza
Except I make the bottom face all the way through
Psychonauts 1.
Some of the level's figments are just either a slog to get, hard to see, or both
>got every side quest done in BOTW
>only way to really 100% the game is by getting all 900 of those moronic Korok seeds
Any game that requires you to be on the top of an online leaderboard or some dumb shit like that, frick you
it's called the Pareto Principle
Just Cause 3. Going around everywhere collecting every collectible was so mind-numbing it gave me a headache.
I recently had this experience when trying to finish up enter the gungeon. Went from a b/b+ to a c-/d+ for me. I just had absolute shit luck trying to finish up the hunts for the finished gun. Swear to god, the damn hunt targets just refused to spawn for hours on end. This butthurt just fricking snowballed when getting the rat items. It wasn't so bad getting the first 3 items when just getting used to punchout, but the fourth one just refused to drop. Admittedly, getting good was the solution there (and I accidentally learned how to get four keys in my final attempt), but i was misinformed about how the keys dropped and punchout is just a weird thing to adjust to. Anyway, using RNG to extend playtime ruins games. The only thing worse is using literal time with nothing else like with xb2 and ursula.
what's her name, Ganker?
for me it's pizza tower
Pikmin 2
I've done it three times now
Super Meat Boy. I can't even play it without 100% it.
DQIX, but have in mind I have the autism.
Have my OG copy and got myself an R4 to replay the game.
Ori and the Will of the Wisps
Wario Land 2
isaac
Astral Chain
100%ing Astral Chain is the epitome of tedium but at least the final mission you unlock is cool as frick.
>Final mission is a secret boss
>phase 2 spams the same combo over and over again with only a small opening and stun immunity
>has a OS grab it can use to alternate from the combo sometimes
No amount of intro theme as background music will make me like this thing.
Crash 4 IAT is this for sure. I actually enjoyed it just playing through to the final boss. It was seeing what I had to do to 100% it where the cracks started to show
Creating a full map of Minecraft. Corner to corner. A full damned map. Some autist out there must have done it.
did a 3x3 that was off by a few pixels but it still counted
just use elytra
every single bethesda game in existence, with new vegas being the worst
MG1 >>>>> MG2 btw
Hyrule Warriors. Both of them.
Pokemon Legends Arceus
Gran Turismo 2 at the moment. At first I was having fun getting gold licenses then the strict requirements turned me off to just getting silvers. Then I realised silver is effectively no different to bronze. Now I just want to win each race and be done.
I know we all used to care about cheevos at some point.
When did you stop? What was the final straw?
For me I don't quite remember what the game was, but I remember that on like day 3 of going for 100% after beating it I looked at what I was doing and realised I wasn't having fun.
Multiplayer achievements in those taked on multiplayer modes that are empty after the first month.
>I know we all used to care about cheevos at some point.
Wrong.
A combination of multiple annoying types of cheevos
>Multiplayer-player only achievements
>Do [menial task] 1000 times
>Collect 500 of these tiny hidden things
>Now do the whole thing without dying
>Now do it all again in less than 2 hours
>speedrunning achievements
>the game isn't even fun to play more than once
What's the point, just make an arcade style game if you want to make those kind of achievements
Love INFRA but 100% would be a nightmare. Normal playthrough is 20+ hours, 300 geocaches (I only found less than 5 per act), find every piece of evidence and secrets in a game that is known to hide stuff effectively. Even with a guide, I think it will take 30-40 hours to get them.
OK, I double check and it seems that the total number of geocaches is way lower. I was mainly just looking at the locked achievements which for some reason only displays percentage. My bad
I'm tempted to just get a save before Shibusawa in Legend in Yakuza 0. It's going to take me some time to do the JCC bet, 3 arcade games, all the mats and the endless bout and I can't be bothered to play the game again after all that.
