Be it unlocking all secrets, hidden paths, routes, items, weapons, levels, characters, etc. there's always a game that a gamer is very proud of, or is just the most loved by that one, either way, completing a game fully takes a lot of effort (or not) depending on the game, many people consider that once you finished a game regardless of how much you've seen or unlocked about the game is the way to go, and I think that's okay, but what if said game is someone's else favorite? and since this game is someone's else favorite then he or she wants to complete it fully? without leaving anything behind?
Honestly speaking, I believe completing a game fully takes a lot of effort, collect-a-thon platformers are just a no go for me, Jak & Daxter has its good fair amount of secrets and stuff to explore, and I can't fathom to beat it fully without a well written walkthrough, if it's a game like Super Mario Galaxy however, I think the process is much quicker and overall less painful compared to those, since it is more of a "play the same levels but harder" to complete it, and despite not completing the full game as Luigi, I did however completed it fully with Mario alone so I think that's my proudest gamer achievement? who knows
RPG's...oh boy, they are scary, and the thought of completing them at 100% is even more, you have to know what items are located at specific zones, which enemies spawn around specific zones, which bosses or secret bosses are plot activated, etc. Just to make sure, that you didn't leave anything behind, Suikoden for example, is a series in which you can recruit 108 "stars" or characters, yeah, you heard me right, 108 playable characters, the concept even appears with spinoffs like Suikoden Tierkreis, the thought of completing game while trying to recruit all characters is just a taxing one, but sometimes, you may not even achieve a true ending if you don't recruit them all! so good endings are behind those requirements
There are many more game genders to talk about, and each person has his/her own way to beat a game fully, while I have the mindset of "Do not beat it fully 100% unless you're in total love with it, and you bother to pull some effort" I don't think that's the case for someone's else, let us know in this thread
