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

Dark Souls 1, Dark Souls 2 but not Dark Souls 3. The silver knight farm is brutal and I'd never do it again.

Ace Attorney games.

Sable was a perfect open world that I 100% in about 30 hrs. Totally didn't overstay it's welcome. I think they added a fishing quest after I played it so not sure how much that changed things.

I really liked that game and got to 100%, but damn the frame drops. Did the devs ever fix that? It was excruciating anytime you took the hover bike anywhere

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

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.

The only game I've ever done 100% Mario 64

Escape velocity (1996, ambrosia software game for macOS). My favorite computer game of all time I think.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Check out Endless Sky if you haven’t heard of it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I heard about it when it was in development but hadn’t followed up! I still have escape velocity on my 2024 Mac but maybe I will check I out the loving homage.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Yes!

Love that game, and the sequels; EV Override and EV Nova. I was looking for a game that played like Starflight, a PC game from the 80s, found EV and was pleasantly surprised.

Though I do hold Starflight in higher regard than EV. It deserves a solid remake.

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

If you mean 100% achievements on Steam for example, I really enjoyed doing that with the following games:

  • Slipstream (2018): arcade racing game, 7.5h to 100%

  • SpongeBob: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated (2020): platformer with some collectathon elements, 13h to 100%

  • Polyball (2017): think Super Monkey Ball, but a bit faster and stronger momentum iirc, gets quite difficult later on, and although the amount of content isn't ridiculous, it's very very hard to manage the requirements for 100%. My playtime is 59h, but I kept playing after 100% to get into the top 10 leaderboards on a bunch of levels, so I think it was more like 30-40h for 100%.

  • The Stanley Parable (2013): narrative game with some unconventional puzzle elements, 40h to 100%, but not really: one of the achievements is "play the game for the entirety of a Tuesday", so that adds over 24h. Another achievement is to not play the game at all for 5 years. Some people love this silly stuff, some hate it, up to you :)

  • Firewatch (2016): narrative game with exploration and some puzzles, 6h to 100%.

It was tough, but I had an absolute blast 100%'ing Neon White and Hades

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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!

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

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.

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.

MGS 1,2,3,4 and MGR:R

Two games I have platinumed on PS4 that I still go back and play are Subnautica and Kerbal Space Program. Not sure if you mean 100% as in like scan and collect every item, or get all the trophies, cause I don't think I've ever 100% a game in that way.
