There are a lot of things to do in a video game and I mean, a lot of things, especially if you go for that one hundred precent. To do this, however, requires a lot of work to do so and it is pretty hard as well. I've only managed to get 2 one hundreds precents in any game in the past without cheating. The games are Spyro: Ripto's Rage and The Simpsons Hit & Run.
How about you guys? Have you ever gotten a hundred precent in a video game before?
GTA Vice City and all I got was a lousy T-Shirt...literally. :bouncegiggle: I actually started to do this with GTA San Andreas but then got fouled up with the location of a few things, particulary the horseshoes. It became too aggrivating, as many of these games do with this mission, and I went back to blowing up things and killing innocent people.
I don't think I ever have in any game that measures a percentage like that. Most of the time games that have that system have several extremely dull fetch quests that, to me, are a giant waste of time. Like the whole 120 hidden object crap. Or the stars in the Mario games where you have to find hidden coins.
BORING!
Sorta. I completed all the side quests in The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. The only thing I didn't do was collect enough treasure to buy all the variations of train cars. But I got all the heart containers, caught fifty %*&^ rabbits, and opened all the tracks on the map. Gotta love pointless tasks in Zelda games... :tongueout:
I've got a couple of platinum trophies, one for Dead Space and the other for Need For Speed: Shift. Need For Speed was tremendously time consuming, but I love racing games so I enjoyed it...mostly. Of course they make you do a bunch of crap that's really anti-racing, like you have to score a certain number of points for "aggressive" driving, which requires you to run each race like a demolition derby at least once. And then there were all those drifting races where you had to maintain a drift for 4 seconds. :lookingup:
Dead Space was pretty easy, just play through it a few times until you accumulate everything available, and finish it on the hardest difficulty level. The only really tough part was getting the "Don't get cocky kid" trophy, named after that scene in Star Wars where Han says that line to Luke after he shoots down a Tie fighter. That particular part of the game was very much like that laser cannon from Star Wars, except you were shooting at meteorites, and you had to destroy them all before they inflicted too much damage on your ship. That took me about 75 tries. It was sort of a fun mini-game, so that wasn't even too bad.
Well on the old Atari 2600 as a kid I overran the top scoring percentage three times in a row on the old Destroyer game but I don't think I'm the only one who accomplished this by any means.
I've got a Platinum Trophy for COD:WAW but if you mean like 100% of items collected and no trophy system then Tomb Raider for XBOX 360. That first one can't remember the name. Sadly, they were not creative with ancient artifact placement or time trials.
THUG 1 and 2, NFS Underground 2
I guess I beat Smash TV on the NES about 5 or 6 times back in the day :teddyr: The first time I got to the last level, I was so nervous I had to get a beer out of the fridge to calm my nerves.
I beat Mario 64 100% by getting all the stars in the game. I really didn't like the control mechanics of Mario..
I beat both castles (normal and upside-down/alternate) of numerous Castlevania games for the PS or GBA.
If 100% could also mean beating a game without dying, I did that with Mega Man 1, 2 and 3.
I don't remember the percentage (it was maybe 120% or something) but I nearly got a perfect score on Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. There was one little speck on the map that simply would not show up no matter what I tried.
I think I beat Kindom Hearts 100% but I can't recall now.
The first 3 spryo games.. they sucked after that.
Jak and daxter(love this game)
Jax ll is one of the most infuriating games Ive ever played so no, didnt get 100%.. I did throw the controller several times though.
Im sure there are others but these I've played through several times and gotten 100%.
I make my kids crazy when I play games because I try to get every single thing. Im playing Batman:Arkham aslyum now and I want everything. :teddyr:

You're going for every Riddler's Trophy and challenge?! Have fun! Here's a quick freebie, there's trophy in a vent inside of the room where the Joker first escapes.

I got it. This was the conversation shortly before I found it. what are you doing? why do you keep looking around? Play the game!... :teddyr: I wanna see whats in this vent! do you mind!
BTW that is a typical conversation while im playing any game. I look at EVERYTHING
Castlevania: symphony of the night
Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask (time travel is a pain)
Legend of Zelda windwaker
Metroid Prime
Almost got Metroid Prime 2 but I always missed something.
currently working on Bayonneta
You can get that last bit of Castlevania: SOTN, but there's a trick. I did it. I think it has something to do with the wolf/bat/mist form.
I think I'm a part of the last generation of gamers. It used to be easy to get 100% because the games themselves were small. There was only so much you could fit in a cartridge.
If a game requires you to collect random things, I will do it. I finished Psychonauts at a 100% value.
Thing is, I don't enjoy it. I'm just trained for it by all the games I've played. Essentially it's just a nervous tick for me to seek out these meaningless parts.
New games are so much more advanced than that. But I'm still caught in my old man way of playing games. I think I would enjoy games much more if I could just play them to play them.
Then again, the only game I've spent a lot on in the past few days is the remake of Monkey Island 2.
You normally can get up to 200% on Castlevania SOTN, by finishing both normal and upside-down castles. But by using the Soul Brothers trick somewhere in the church area you can turn into a bat and fly OUTSIDE the castle, increasing your total to over 200%! You can get stuck, though; so if you can come back and save your game after exploring a little bit you should.
Silent Hill 3 got all the costumes and endings.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare did everything.
GTA Vice City.
Most of the Resident Evils I did everything.
Theirs probably more but thats all I remember off the top of my head.
Hmm... Lemme think...
Saints Row
Jak 2
Super Mario 64
Super Mario Galaxy
Plus I did all there is to do (pretty much) on Final Fantasy 6
Other than that, I usually don't bother with full completion. It all depends on how much of the game I want to experience. I found that some games (Final Fantasy X-2, especially) have really pointless, irritating, boring, and unrewarding extras.
If there's one thing I have to say I love about the Saints Row games, though, it's that they're actually worth playing to 100%. Some of the extras you get actually help you out in the game immensely. For example, completing all the hit lists in the first game will give you powerful unlockable weapons, or completing the Base Jumping with a triple gold star in the second one will make you immune to falling damage. Yeah, even if you jump out of a plane at the highest point and hit the ground, you won't take damage.
I'm working on getting a platinum in Fallout 3 now. Even though I really disliked the game at first, I dunno...it sort of grew on me after a while :teddyr: The gaming media really overhypes certain games, and that always leaves me very disappointed. I have to get past the sky-high expectations before I can really start enjoying it for what it is. Anyhow, I'm using a trophy guide just to find all the quests. I don't know how you could ever do it without one, it would take you literally hundreds of hours just to FIND all the quests otherwise.
Lessee...I think it was either Pokemon Blue or Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. I played them both a lot when I was a kid, so I had nothing better to do with my time back then. Nowadays when I play a game I just go through the main plot because I've got more important and interesting things to do with my time than to look for every single piece of random crap in a game.
I don't mind doing all the side quests in Majora's Mask, though. I quite like the minor characters in the game and I don't mind lending them a hand (especially since doing them all nets you the Fierce Deity mask, aka: the Make-the-Final-Boss-Cry-Like-A-Little-Girl mask).
Back in the day yes, but these days I'm just not interested in collecting achivments. I just want to finish the main story and move on
