What games have you played that you finished them to 100% completion? - Being a completionist is a nightmare.

I usually try to 100% Mega Man games for the sake of having all my items. This includes the Battle Network games, where collecting every chip (attack or utility skill) is required to enter the actual postgame where the extra bosses and areas are. I'm pretty sure Battle Network 4 is the only one to not follow this because of it's really fucked-up tournament "story" that has the brackets randomly seeded at the start of a save. Since your NG+ progression gates you out of the stronger versions of your chips, the first playthrough is ironically the hardest. You can also get duplicate bracket layouts on a NG+, so it's possible to not fight every possible boss without possibly 4 or more runs. The gameplay itself isn't bad, but the way the story and progression is structured is.

To get the chips, you either purchase them in shops, get them to drop from their respective enemies, or find them from mystery data (chests). To finish the collection, you use a Chip Trader, which is basically a slot machine that eats excess chips you have in exchange for another. These machines are actually weighted towards giving players chips they either don't have or have few of, but it's still a pain in the ass to grind chips to throw in the trader.

The only game I distinctly remember 100%ing was the first Dynasty Warriors:Gundam title. I finished all the scenarios and maxed out every character just because I enjoy the mindless entertainment of cutting through hordes of enemies with simple combat.

I make jokes about how mediocre the Dynasty Warrior series is overall, but they've apparently figured out their audience. I remember seeing Nintendoids lose their fucking minds when Hyrule Warriors came out. It's literally just Zelda-flavored Dynasty Warriors, but that's all some people wanted.

I'll never declare Assassin's Creed as some sort of pinnacle in gaming; but it's something I find familiar and comfortable, and that goes for the autism of 100%ing every game. I'm not expecting something amazing, just some weird quasi-historical sandbox, with people to kill and chests to open (and boats to sail and ships to plunder God willing); and while nothing really stands out, it's like a familiar pair of shoes.

I mean, I got 100% on every Ass Creed up to Black Flag, but there comes a point where you feel like they're putting in the minimal effort to vomit out what is basically the exact same content without any innovation. I would like to at least finish Unity and Syndicate, but once you're out it can be difficult to fall back in. Don't care much for Origins, Exodus, Valhalla or Mirage - All the mythical creature stuff (and the obvious forced PC crap) just doesn't appeal to me.

The most notable perfect completion i had in a game was Megaman & Bass on the GBA. Which was notorious for its massively compressed resolution, yet i persevered and had fun. I also prefer the GBA's OST over the SNES, so that did help

I just got done with both vigilante 8s, nothing complicated, just a lot of grinding.

Not gonna say I go crazy avout it, but Dynasty Warriors and its assorted off-shoots are things I like to play, but can also rely on when I want to play something but not sure what to play. I find myself enjoying the non-Chinese history ones too; the Berserk one is fun, and they did an excellent job with the Attack on Titan games. Not gonna say they're life changing or must plays, but if you're their target audience, they scratch the itch very well.

One game i actually finished to completion, well two games actually was Disciples liberation and Borderlands 1 (the updated version as well) and i never want to do it again. Achievement hunting is fun for awhile but it becomes complete arse cancer the more i do it.
