What’s a game you can 100% without hating by the end?

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.

If, by 100%, it includes 100% of the achievements/trophies, I can only remember Mary Skelter Nightmares¹, Odin Sphere Leifthrasir and Starbound as games I still enjoy after doing 100%.

¹og version; dunno if the updated version bundled with Mary Skelter 2 has trophies (didn’t stop me from finishing it on the Switch, though e.e")

Kotor.

My recommendation for this will always be Cyberpunk 2077. There are SO many secrets and sub-plots to discover in the game, and every single one of them feels like an intricate, deliberate piece to the overall puzzle that makes up Night City.

To experience everything requires multiple playthroughs, which I normally dislike in long, narrative-driven games because I lack the attention span needed when it comes to repeating things in games. But CP2077 offers so many new ways to tackle every situation, and it's one of the few games I've played where it truly feels like a new experience on the second and all subsequent playthroughs. The writing and acting are spectacular, and going back and picking different options for various encounters will yield very different, yet authentic results.

I've 100%'d it and still went back and did at least 3 full playthroughs after. I can't sing this game's praises enough.

I’m currently playing through RDR2, should I get 2077 next?

Delphia ,

A lot of people will still parrot the launch criticisms at you and refuse to acknowledge that they pretty well fixed it. The devs overpromised and underdelivered, even now its not quite what they promised. But if they had dropped what the game is now on release it would be pretty universally regarded as one of the best games of all time.

Weirdfish ,

I’m glad to hear this. Bought it at launch, on PS4, which I understand had some of the worst problems. Maybe one of the most disappointing games I ever got after all the htype. Gave up after maybe two hours because of all the bugs.

I now have a PS4-Pro, and keep wondering if its finally time to give this game another go.

Delphia ,

I played it on a fairly ninja pc so I cant comment on if it was absolutely fixed on consoles.

i_stole_ur_taco ,

YES. It’s brilliant.

Chozo ,

If the world exploration and character interactions in RDR2 are scratching your itch, then 2077 will definitely have you covered there; Night City is huge and has a lot of hidden spots and characters to find. I'd say that the combat is generally a bit more hectic in 2077, but not overwhelming. You can also freely adjust the difficulty whenever you want, so if you're not interested in mastering the buildcrafting aspects (since it leans more heavily into RPG aspects than RDR2) and just wanna get the story, that's also an option.

While it's definitely not required to have an amazing experience, I'd strongly recommend also picking up the Phantom Liberty expansion if you decide to give 2077 a shot. It adds a lot of additional content, including some new endings. And Idris Elba is fucking fantastic in it. He brings a very similar energy to Keanu, where you can tell that he really loves his character and the story he gets to tell. It honestly sets a ridiculously high bar for video game acting in general.

aStonedSanta ,

Fuck. I never returned it. Might as well reinstall it and dive in soon. Gotta finish up Lies of P first.

state_electrician ,

The only game ever I played through four times.

NocturnalMorning ,

FF7, I replay the game every 4-5 years.

I don’t think I’ve ever 100% a game. I don’t care about achievements and I’ve finished the campaign/story on many but I rarely go back to any.

simple ,

I had a ton of fun 100%ing Super Mario Odyssey. There’s a big amount of post-game content and a good amount of variety in exploring the different levels. Some of the moons need a guide though since they can be reallt vague.

deranger ,

I felt differently, so many of those stars and collectibles are uninspired filler. Trying to 100% it led to me significantly disliking it. They could have cut so much and it’d be a much tighter experience.

Prox ,

Fuck that jump rope moon, though.

Peffse ,

I’m the kind of person who has no issues with moving on from a game with only 20% of the achievements/trophies unlocked after beating the final boss. If it’s not fun, it’s not fun.

I think the only two games I set out to 100% were probably Super Mario World, or Donkey Kong Country 2.

cyberpunk007 ,

I did dk1, dk2 and super Metroid from that era. Great games. Dk2 is unreal, top 20 for sure.

Peffse ,

There were WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too many secret caves in DKC1 to try to 100%. I did try to complete DKC3, but I don’t think I achieved it.

cyberpunk007 ,

Ah dk3, the one I’ve NEVER beat. I always set out to do it and grow bored first. I think by the time I started playing that really good games existed like halo and the like.

Iapar ,

Me too. Most things I play because i want to know what happens next. If I know everything then I am done with the game.

Sometimes I like the gameplay that much that it happens automatically. Bloodborne comes to mind.

PlzGivHugs ,

At least personally, its a lot of the shorter, gameplay-focused games that always leave me wanting more, or wanting to further improve, without having some unbeatable new-game++++++++ mode or anything overly RNG based.

A couple games I’ve 100%ed that still have significant bonus/optional content outside the main plotline include:

  • Inscription - Willingly played through the story twice and spent nearly as many hours on the bonus new-game+ mode. Super solid gameplay, that while well explored in the base game, leaves plenty of room to further experiment and perfect your strategy.
  • Just Cause 3 - while there is a ton of bonus content, its not overly hidden, and the core gameplay is solid enough that challenges feel fun and rewarding, while travelling around gathering collectables is satisfying in a chill, podcast-listening, but not unengaging way.
  • Hotline Miami - after completing the game, I wanted to go back and get a A+ on every level because the gameplay was fun and I felt I still had more room to grow. “The puzzle” wasn’t as fun, and I did use a guide, but I was just happy for any reason to play through the game again.
  • Wolfenstein the New Order - again, just a solid gameplay loop that made me want to keep playing, with bonus objectives that worked as an objective rather than a chore. Also, unlike later ID shooters, it doesn’t have the “beat the whole game without dying” achievement, which just feels too punishing over mistakes that may be minor or downright unfair.
Blisterexe ,

I 100℅ed sekiro and another crabs treasure, both games (especially sekiro) sort of had grindy achievements, but the gameplay was so good it still ledt me wanting more

Pyro ,

It’s interesting that you mention Just Cause 3 because even though the campaign is a lot of fun, I didn’t enjoy completing all the vehicle challenges.

PlzGivHugs ,

The vehicle challenges were definately the weakest part, but on average, I still enjoyed them. In particular, a lot of the wingsuit courses and land races were fun, and actually took advantage of the game’s strongest elements.

Prox ,

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

Lost_My_Mind ,

…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…

kurwa ,

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.

AngryishHumanoid ,

Batman Arkham Asylum and (probably) Arkham City.

Blisterexe ,

do riddler trophies count towards 100?

AngryishHumanoid ,

Yup.

originalfrozenbanana ,

Duck Detective: The Secret Salami

xantoxis ,

The game where finishing it is 100%'ing

CaptainEffort ,

Lots of indie games, but To the Moon is an easy one. Super sad, but it’s a short game that’s 100%’d once you finish the story

jballs ,
@jballs@sh.itjust.works avatar

I loved To the Moon. Imposter Factory was great as well.

CaptainEffort ,

I hadn’t checked out their other stuff, so I didn’t know about Imposter Factory. Another game added to the wishlist, excited to check it out!

Artemis ,

Baldur’s Gate 1 & 2…the exploration of the wilds while so vulnerable in the first game is something I’ll never get bored of while the second game just takes it to a whole other level with your power growing so immense. They still totally hold up with the extended editions!

ampersandrew ,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Those games are so littered with trash mobs that I definitely didn’t have the stamina for 100%.

100 ,

i would recommend anyone playing them to use the teleport cheat to skip the slow map movement and backtracking

saves several hours in a playthrough easily

all-knight-party ,
@all-knight-party@fedia.io avatar

SOMA. I unlocked all achievements just by beating it lol. I've 100%'d Kirby & the Amazing Mirror a few times.

Omegamanthethird ,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

The Walking Dead Tell Tale game also gave you 100% by beating it.
