Err... Do I know you?

What was there to that game that kept you from 100%?

Just curious is all.

I have far too many awesome games waiting for me to play them, for me to bother finding every last secret in every single game before moving onto the next.

This isn't solely a matter of enjoyment, though. Whenever I tell a fellow gamer the name of a few of the games I've had in my shelf for ages, but still never played, I get punched in the nuts. Sometimes pretty badly if it's one of their favorites.

I completed 100% Mario Galaxy (242 stars), Twilight Princess (all objects, all sidequests), Metroid Prime 3 (100%, super ending), Lego Star Wars I (100%, all red bricks), Pokemon Ruby (3 starters, Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza lv.100, pokedex completed) and few others that I can't remember.

I can't complete Wind Waker and Ocarina of Time...photos and Skulltullas are too difficult.

100% is more like obsessive compulsive rather than hardcore.

the hardcore gamer should be out playing new games, across all genres.

(i guess i just realized you can't delete a post) 

well i try to beat em 100%but if i cant i just leave,but i always finish em

I don't think I have ever done 100%. I always try and complete the story, but 100% is basically impossible, I don't have the time, although I might do some more sidequests on FF XII to get me closer to that magic number. I suppose the closest I have got this generation is R & C, where I am only missing some of the skill points and gold bolts, but not many. I will also get 100% of LSW

For me it depends on the game, and whether I have time or not. I've got a huge backlog of games to finish

(Wii, GC, PS2, N64, DS, GBA, GBC, GB, VC)

@ rolstoppable; when you say complete, do mean all treasures etc, cause if you do that is very impressive
