So when do you consider your game done, For me it depends on what game, If i is single player (Uncharted) then if i play 2 times through i consider done (although i don't necessarily stop playing it. If it a a shooter (BF:BC, Warhawk) then a beat single player mode and 20 hours online. If it is something smisceallaneous (LBP, SF4) Probably 20 hours although LBP i know i've spent 50 hours + in If it is SP only with some extra small mode (Mirrors edge) probably 2 times beat for campaign and 5 hours in extra mode. Of course you don't need to list all your games like i did, but atleast try!

When I can completely smoke (and grill) through the game with ease on a replay that occurs 6 months after the initial completion of the game..

since I usually play my SP games on he hardest difficulty possible on the initial play through. I would say that once I have beaten the game, as in completed the final level, the game is done.

Now that is not to say that I will never pop it in my system to play it again...

hmmm.

i really like to replay my games, always trying to get a new perspective on the game.

like in mgs4, the first playthrough you just try and get through the game, this usually ends up in you killing everything.

second play through okay i will try and do the same on hard

more of the same except some times you are forced to use stealth which is great.

the third time i went straight for the bigboss emblem, i actually think it took me about 20 hours to actually do it saving and reloading all the time.

fourth big boss run except i watch the cutscenes this time, adds alot more to the experience.

get some emblems that actually give you items.

play through the game without using the drebin system at all.

or in dead space you try and only use the plasma cutter through out the entire game.

a game is never finished until you have experienced every perspective of it.

sometimes some games have less perspctives. like platformers or shooters.

for those sure you can visit them a few times, but largely you are getting the same experience, unless you decide to only use your knife except for boss fights(so much fun in cod 4).

Well it depends on the game. In a game like Stranglehold and GTA4 I only felt the need to beat the singleplayer and I was done. In a game like Blue Dragon, Saints Row, Smackdown Vs Raw I must complete everything. So in other words, If I like the game I will try to get 100%(Not inlcuding trophies/achievements) but if the game is bad like GTA4 or Stranglehold I will just get through the main story and call it an end.

Some games I dont consider ever done because I enjoy them so much I can always play them again, but this is rare. For the most part once I beat them or just get sick of them they get tossed aside.

When I've beat it, get bored, or got all (or select) trophies.

Depends on the genre. Once or twice through an FPS, usually on different difficulties is good. Now with trophies though I usually consider them done after I get all of those.

For RPG's and the like, I tend to be a perfectionist and collect/do everything, making "master save" files.

Normally a game is done for me if I have gotten all the trophies. If it doesn't have trophies then, when I have beaten all the difficulty levels and unlocked everything there is to unlock.

Usually in the middle the second run of the story. I beat the game (story), play it again, then usually I get bored in the middle of the second run.

never honestly(for good games). I might not play it for a while but I always go back and pick it up sooner or later. Crap games like Assassin's Creed or Lingering Shadows get blown away once I beat them but I still keep the game for collection purposes only.

When I lose interest. Sometimes that's immediately after the story is finished (sometimes before, like with RE5) but a lot of the time it takes me multiple playthroughs before I get bored, depends on how good the game was. A lot of games these days are all flash and little substance, so after the first playthrough honeymoon period is over, it's a lot harder to get into.

This, but then I see myself going back to games i've become "bored" of and enjoy them again. Um, I guess when I completely forget I have the game?

When I beat the final boss or decide it's time to devote myself Valkyria Chronicles once again. Many a game have not been truly completed thanks to VC.

Usually after completing the main campaign, or on multiplayer just when it constantly bores me.
