Completion Rates

I doubt even the most dedicated gamers complete most games they play. Beating the campaign and then moving on, as opposed to completing the game's contents 100%.

Most people don't 100% a game. Those percentages are significantly lower than beating the campaign. Beating the campaign is consider completing the game.

Holy shit dude, the lounge comment is fact, plain & simple for all those who wish to visit it.

A question though, why are you cherry picking games?

For instance Gears 3 is 33.88% higher than Gears 4 with a 27.45% so why are you picking one game over another???

All your thread proves is that Sony's games are easier as that's the criteria you're going on, complete the campaign on the easiest difficulty, what a failure on your part.

I'm not whining, you are as i'm putting holes in your thread, its embarrassing for you, up your game.

Have you ever heard of a site called true achievements, you'd be surprised that there are gamers with hundreds of thousands of gamerscore with 100% completion rate.

@i_p_daily: We could also say that people don't bother replaying or even finishing MS games. You're trying so hard not to accept this.

"B-but sony games are easier!!1! No gameplay! Waaah!!"

Like I said, you tend to lose your shit and it's hilarious. You're so easy ^^

The completion rate on Titanfall 2 surprises me, feel bad for anyone who dropped that as that was a pretty good campaign experience.

To me it says people enjoy games with engaging gameplay, stories and well done characters.

Me personally if I start a game I almost always finish it unless I absolutely hate the game or it's an old school game that I don't have the skill to beat (nes Ninja Gaiden comes to mind).

That's impressive. Guess that's what happens when you make a good freaking game.

I'm not losing anything, you're trying to hard to project your need for me to lose my shit, but i never lose my shit, as an alt who's been here before you know this already.

Its based on how many people beat the game on easy, so what does that say, it says cows play their games on easy. So congrats to you cows, not only do you play movie games, you play them on easy 🤣🤣🤣

I wasn't expecting you to be so butthurt about me not responding to your nonsense in the lounge that you now believe that you "bested me".😂

I listed a selection of games I have access to but I am glad you are proving with each response that the data is killing you on the inside. 😎

This thread literally proposed NO arguments but here you are believing that there is an argument and you are "putting holes" all because you don't like the data. 🤣

Just highlights that campaign's in games are becoming boring and generic that people dont bother with any more.

I didn't spot the answer above - I assume this is "100% rates" and NOT completed the campaign rates. I never 100% games. I get what I get from my playthrough. The extra stuff is usually busy work bullshit and stuff like "complete the game on the easiest and hardest modes" "play whole game using just grenades". F*ck that

This is just main campaign, you know the standard claim of "I finished the game".

@Pedro: wow, thanks for the clarification.

I believe there is some merit to this claim but it would require more data such as the completion rates before the game was made free and after. I would not be surprised when such data is made available that is reflects this.

It's crazy how many rare achievements I unlocked playing hivebusters I would have thought everybody with an xbox series X/S would have beat it. I understand there's a lot on yazuka as its a niche game but gears is a flagship title.

It makes you wonder. Most of the games I have played recently has been triggering the rare chime. Despite the push for more single player games, gamers don't seem to be completing most of them.

Another day, another IP daily meltdown.

@Litchie: That's insane to me because I wanted to platinum Bloodborne but the damn dungeons kept me from it. :(

Gamers have terrible attention spans, and apparently love throwing their money away.

Ive been saying this for years, there's a problem with gaming culture where we move on to the next big thing before we complete what we are currently playing.

There's a few reasons for this.

1. FOMO - you get a game then a month later another game comes out and you jump on the hype train and play the new game and never go back to the other.

2. Games losing their Value through too much choice - With GamePass, PS Now, Games with Gold and PS Plus there's tons of free games available to play, or cheap games to build a back log with. The problem is too much choice actually devalues every game that is available. If Doom and an indie game are available at the click of a button to play, they are both the same value. I'm guilty of playing a game for 10 minutes, losing interest, and going on to something else.

3. Games are TOO BIG and TOO LONG - Sometimes you don't need a 100 hour plus game. To me a quality 20-30 hour game is the sweet spot. Most people aren't going to pour 100 hours into a game.

Back in the day if you rented a game for the weekend you played that game as much as you could until you had to take it back! Same goes if you bought a game at a store. If you paid for a new game, there was no game pass or steam sale, you played your new damn game until you could afford to get another one!

I agree with each of your points.

That part is especially true, I know people who are like that and it always baffles me how they throw their money away. A friend of mine was in such a hurry to get a PS5 and AC Valhalla (this is a guy who played over 100 hours of AC Origin and absolutely loved it) and he has barely touched either since the purchase (2 months ago).

But the PC shares achievements with Xbox to your profile, unless you buy off steam.

Also, if this is based on achievements, then all this proves is PS gamers chase trophies.

I personally gave up on achievements when Xbox started giving them away for opening netflix and turning on your console on the Xbox One. I've had 20,000+ since the Xbox 360. I've only got 400 something achievements in my most played game ever Ace Combat 6. Been playing it constantly since 2007.

Yessssss. Agree 100%. Man, how nostalgic, thinking back to 5 day rentals and rushing to get through the game before the final day to avoid late fees.

If you are connected to the internet at anytime your achievements/trophies are uploaded. This is not about trophy/achievement chasing. If you finish the main campaign it records the achievement/trophies. Nothing more nothing less. It also has nothing to do with the 360 or gamer score. All of the games listed are PS4 or Xbox One.

What is the trend that you notice?

@HalcyonScarlet: MS games have a lower completion rate because they are all available on gamepass for everyone to hop in for a few hours and never finish them. Sony games have a higher completion rate because they are played by people who were interested enough in the games to buy them and finish them. If all Sony exclusives were available on a service similar and as popular as gamepass, the completion rates would be similar, although Sony's games would still have a higher percentage given that they are actually worth finishing. Joking. Not really. Kinda.

Story focused games have a higher completion rate.

Your logic is flawed. Many of the games listed has nothing to do with Game Pass.

Carrion is surprising, the games over in a few hours.

@Pedro: No. I'm just comparing exclusives. What I said is spot on. Genre, lenght, difficulty and how good the games are also affects the rate, but availability is what has the biggest influence. The original TLOU was given away with PS+ and is also available on PS now and has a lower completion rate than TLOU2 despite being much more popular and well regarded. Bloodborne has a much lower completion rate than before it was free with PS+. Games also tend to decrease in completion rate as they become cheaper via discounts, which supports my availability argument, since people who buy them at full price are much more likely to finish them.

You are making unsubstantiated and false claims. There is nothing left to be said.

@Pedro: I'm making ussumptions based on logic, which apparently you lack. Notice how the latest PS exclusives have a higher completion rate than older ones. I don't claim that this is the exact explanation.

But Call of Duty isn't n Gamepass, but it's dramatically more popular that a Sony game across many platforms.

Gears 4 and Halo are on the list. Did you know that like CoD, there's a large player base that doesn't even play the single player parts of the games? That has always been the case long before Gamepass. Those Sony games are single player story based games.

Also, even the games I buy I don't always finish. I play more for the gameplay than the story. If the game is more about skill and improving my ability, that's more important to me than completing the game.

In fact I just play games as an experience, then I may move on, play some other games and come back.

@HalcyonScarlet: Of course, multiplayer focused games will also have a lower completion rate because many people don't even bother playing the SP campaing. I'm pretty sure more people play the Halo SP campaing than CoD's, and that's what the percentage shows.

I've also bought games that I've never finished, even at full price. It means nothing. Most people do finish them, especially highly rated, narrative driven SP games.

How do you know? A lot of people will complete a story based game. But most games are not story based games.

@HalcyonScarlet: SP focused games. This is getting boring ^^

@Pedro: So cherry picking it is, i mean this thread it literally useless, its based off of your personal experience 🤣🤣🤣

Stop projecting your butthurt onto me pedro, im having a ball in this thread seeing you scramble 😁

And you didn't respond in the lounge because you would make a bigger fool of yourself.

@i_p_daily: why do you always sound upset and why are you getting angry at this? These are just completion rates, nothing to get butthurt about.

@Pedro: Edith Finch was also given at ps+ and is sitting at 50% rate. This alone destroys that silly argument.

@wonderwinner: Edith Finch is a very short game, and also highly acclaimed. I'm sure it had a higher completion rate before. You can cherry pick all you want, I'll sit you kids down every time. Rational thought will prevail. :D

I'll help you a bit. TLOU sits at 40%.

@wonderwinner: Why is it people find it hard to comprehend what they read, im having fun here.

This thread is literally useless based of off one persons played games, and judging SP games with those who also have MP.

Your definition of upset and angry are way off, i know you're an alt, but are you a relative of pedros as you both have a hard time judging peoples emotions on here 🤣🤣🤣

@i_p_daily: How is that relevant? He could have posted any list of games and the idea would be the same. This feels like teaching kindergarten.

@ahrequenomori: I know this might come as a surprise for you being a cow and all, but people buy games for their MP only, i have friends who play games for the MP and not touching the SP at all.

So lumping games with MP with SP stupid as SP games are always going to have a higher completion rate.

@sheevpalpamemes: Damn another cow alt where i occupy their mind 🤣🤣🤣

@i_p_daily: So MS exclusives are all about the MP and barely anyone plays the SP? They are bad, but not that bad. Come on! They try their best.

@i_p_daily: Completion rates and me not entertaining your stupidity in the lounge really got to you. 😂🤣 You got triggered, and I wasn’t even trying.😎
