Are you a completionist?

When it comes to video games, are you the type that will collect every item, complete every side quest, etc? Do you consider yourself a completionist, or will you just play through whatever you're in the mood for and set the game down when you're satisfied?

I always set out to get as many achievements as possible when I start playing a game, but once I beat the game, that's normally when I say farewell to it and move on. I don't think I've ever 100%'d a game.

As long as the main storyline is done, I'm good. I might try to 100% if I ever come back to a game, but for the first time playing through...I don't care and so I don't bother.

Well, sure I'll aim for a hundred per cent! I'll miss my mark pathetically, but I'll come clawing back until I've got a gold star or some such achievement. It takes me about three tries on average. I rarely ever get a full score on any game - mainly just levels/worlds.

I'll always do side quests if I'm in the appropriate mood, but if they prove too hard or tedious... yeah, I'll ignore them for a few years.

For example, that fucker Ganondorf wiped me out on the last stint in Ocarina of Time because frigging Zelda doesn't know how to escort me through a collapsing castle without bloody killing me. So I arrive on two hearts, and I have to repeat the harrowing walk through that forsaken citadel all over again. I still haven't finished it and that was over a year ago. I'm a sucky completionist.

nope

it's way too much effort. i usually don't play a game as much anymore after I beat the main story + do other miscellaneous stuff.

far from one

cba to do literally everything when i prefer multiplayer 7/10 times.

i am whatever the opposite of a completionist is

No, but I do set completion goals which I try to achieve in the game, such as "must beat the Elite 4/main storyline", or "must participate in at least 1 contest" or "must do at least 1 side quest" or "must have logged at least X hours", and such like.

Yes, I am.
Sadly, nowadays, games have too much content it tends to be almost impossible to collect all items, to unlock everything, or even to finish all the quests and even more, to view all the different possible scenarios or endings... It really is frustrating!

Never been a completionist and never will be. I just like playing through a game and doing as much as I feel like doing.

normally i'm playing a game for the main story. there are very few games that i have tried to 100% and even those games i never managed to succeed.

I can be! I have 100% completed a bunch of games, including LoZ Majora's Mask, Pikmin 1 and 2, and I suppose completed the national dex in gen 6 of Pokemon (yay Bank). But other times I am not; I just do what I want to do.

Yes. Emphatically so. I have to do everything in a game, which is probably why I play so few at a time. I need all the achievements/weapons/armors in Monster Hunter. I need all the talismans and grubs in Hollow Knight. I need every unique/one of a kind item in Skyrim (plus all player homes filled completely with painstakingly hand placed loot). I need every single article of clothing/furniture/character/everything in Animal Crossing. I need every unlockable and animal emblem award in MGS4.

100%ing a game is part of the fun for me! I'm a hoarder and a resource gatherer deep in my digital heart. No matter how many years it takes.

It's a gift and a curse.

No, i just play what i want, never cared about 100%ing a game.

Nope. I only care about getting through the main story and wrapping up post-game things if there are any. It takes too much effort to do a completionist run.

I'm a lazy 100%-er. I want to 100% games, but I usually lose interest before I can.

I used to be a completionist, and I have a little under 70 platinum trophies and a 230 hour file in Monster Hunter: World of all things on a separate PSN account to show for it...my backlog built up as a result though, and I just got tired of 100%-ing games regardless of quality, so now I only do this for games I genuinely enjoy...that don't require multiple playthroughs or other things that might annoy me.

I consider doing sidequests etc. as part of the game though. 100% to me is getting a platinum trophy for Playstation titles, and doing "extra" tasks like a bestiary or in-game achievement system in everything else. Sidequests often hide some of the game's best content and offer less painful ways to grind, so I do them as I come across them.

I just posted a 100% completion on Monster Boy and yet I'm not. Or, rather, only if the skill required is reasonable (so screw Hollow Knight's postgame) and doing so doesn't require to dump 1000 hours grinding for a 0.1% rate loot. Which means that I only 100% normal platformers/Metroidvanias anymore. Otherwise, I'll just do everything I can until the game prompts me to say "okay, haha, no, what you are asking of me is stupid", at which point I'll call it a day.
