As per title. Most computer games these days are made with such unnecessary padding that I want to murder the devs or myself by the end. See, for example, Hyrule Warriors, the 100% 1000 Hour Nightmare, the Review.
The second game I ever 100%ed was Arceus and I still can’t stand the thought of picking it up again, years later. The first game was Horizon Zero Dawn, which is still fun.
Bioshock trilogy
I’m not sure ive ever 100%ed any game, except simple (mostly old) ones.
Maybe stuff like Super Mario World and Odyssey.
I almost did Oddworld 1 and didn’t hate it. Portal, I guess.
I got all but one achievement in Subnautica, and all of the achievements in Below Zero (the sequel) in my first playthrough of both games, just from taking my time and thoroughly exploring both of the worlds and completing the story without even consciously trying to go for the achievements.
With that said, they are open world games and at times don’t really give you a whole of guidance as to what you need to do next. So you are kind of left to explore and figure it out on your own. If you don’t like that sort of game you might end up hating them by the end too.
Do you recommend Below Zero? I loved subnautica so much but I generally think buying another game instead of an expansion is usually a better deal.
Absolutely magical game
I just 100% Ancestors The Humankind Odyssey and am still playing the game.
My daughter calls it the weird monkey game.
It’s a great game, but a little hard to get into at first.
Only games I ever 100%ed were…Assassins Creed 1 and Rocket League, strictly by achievements only. Like I never made it past Champ in RL, and AC1 was really just beat game and collect flags. I never have the urge to 100% a game cause usually it’s just a grind for grinds sake and that isn’t fun to me
Champ is already pretty high, well done!
Thanks! I spent years in Diamond, and had a mini goal to get to Champ. Never really been one to practice mechanics, it was just sheer rotation and positioning. Like I can’t hit off the wall with any kind of consistency. Hit it in like…2019 and haven’t played much since, I actually played last night prior to this comment for the first time in probably a year.
Oh yea I see
Hope you enjoyed playing again! It isn’t getting much content anymore, but the game is still so good :)
I got 100% on hollow knight and ender lilies. Two good metroidvanias
Pokemon Uranium. The (in)famous(?) banned fan game that is still being developed. Minus a couple pokemon, it follows the Black and White philosophy of having no returning pokemon.
I’ve played through the game multiple times, beating the final fight for the main story and calling it there, without hating myself or the game.
Hell, I’ve even gone through the trouble of completing the pokedex once and struggled to find an early route bird for the last two entries I needed. Pokedex for that game can be hard because when it comes to 2 of the pokemon, you can only get one per save and must online trade to get the counterpart and 1 line is a trade evolution with no in game trades for it or trade evo items. Obviously starters require online trade, too.
Only problem I have with it is the fact I’m still waiting for the rest of the post game to be developed and released so I can hopefully get the unreleased legendaries you can find on the fandom wiki.
Citizen Sleeper, Chants of Sennaar, Papers Please, The Curse of the Golden Idol.
Sekiro
Bump for Sekiro. There is not one other game that plays as satisfying. It’s souls crack, I cannot get enough of it
Edit: Except demon of Hatred, fuck this boss
Armored Core 6 is pretty easy to 100% and it’s really enjoyable the whole way there. Just don’t bother with PvP.
And my favorite 100% grinding game that I keep playing just because I enjoy it so much, is the Earth Defense Force series. The game encourages you to play each mission with each of the 4 classes in each of the 5 difficulty levels. Even though clearing Hard also gives you Easy and Normal completion too, you’re still looking at over 200 hours of gameplay, easily. The games have over 100 missions, tons of weapons to gradually improve, and at higher levels become true combat puzzles to solve with said weapons. Cheese is a way of life, in an enjoyable way.
Spider-Man 1 and 2. It’s just more excuse to swing around.
Metroid Dread.
I beat the game on Normal, then went back to 100% it, then immediately played again on Hard mode, beat that and 100% it again.
Helltaker - I got hooked on the awesome music and fantastic silliness. (It’s free btw)
Cyberpunk 2077 with Phantom Liberty. 100+ hours of pure joy. And when you need to take the edge off, you can always spend a nice evening with the love of your life.
I 100%ed Factorio recently, and I still play it, and I’m looking forward to the expansion that’s about to drop
…you can 100% that game? I thought it was like tetris, where it just keeps going on and on and on and on, stripping your sanity away, until you even see the game when you close your eyes. Soon you forget you have a wife and kids. Must grow the factory…must…grow…wait, was my son 11 months old, or 11 years old? He’s in college???
Must grow the factory…
There’s achievements and you can also “beat the game” when you launch your first rocket. The expansion is going to make it way longer though.
