At which point do you call a game 'finished'

Is it when you see the credits? Or get every achievement you think you can? Or get all the achievements in a game?

Some, like Burnout Paradise have the credits roll after getting the A license but there is still the Elite license to go. Obviously the game isn't finished so I was wondering at what point do you call the game finished?

Well....mostly when i see the credits..but some games that i really really like...i try to get some achievements that r easy to get.

But i feel really weird about ppl who try to get every possible stuff they can..i think its just weird.

I am finished a game once I am bored of it. It took me around an hour and a half to finish MGS4 and about 30 minutes to finish Super Mario Galaxy._Pinbot_

This is it ^ I haven't finished the single player of FEAR yet, and I don't I ever will. Once I realized that that game was boring for me, it was finished. It leaves the book only once every two weeks when I am super bored. GoW2 on the other hand is different. I played through the single player 3 times, single player run was on hardcore, still working on achievements and I don't think I'll stop playing any time soon. For me GoW2 is not finished yet.

Id like to get all the G but some games I find it hard to so basically I finish it whenever I have gotten all the G I can possibly, allthough Bioshock I left when the credits showed but I dont consider it finished

"Beaten" to me means defeating the final boss and calling it a day.

"Finished" to me means that and getting all achievements. Unless, of course, they're ridiculously hard (Seriously...) or I can't get them yet (as wiith the Halo 3 achievements that are associated with the Mythic Map Pack).

100% single player achievements or beat the single player with all hidden stuff on highest difficulty setting.Darkslayer16

When I finish the single player campaign and after I watch the credits. Canvas_Of_Flesh

You can "play through" or "clock" a game, in my opinion.

You can simply play through the storyline/objectives -

or you can finish every single aspect the game has to offer and clock it.

When I've beaten it on the hard difficulty, amassed all the reasonable single-player achievements, and at least got my feet wet in the multiplayer.Palantas

When the credits roll and the fat lady sings, the game is "finished".

Doesn't mean it's done for me though, I might play it again right away if the campaign is really good or I might leave it on hiatus only to return to it later.
