I just got my 360 this past Christmas, but in the days leading up to it, I tried beating games I've had for a while, but never beat. Since getting my 360, I've noticed how clear-cut it was to beat many games on older systems- it was basically beating the story mode. On the 360, I'm debating on what it means to beat a 360 game: is it to complete the story mode, unlock all the achievements, or both?

for me its beating all the levels and seeing the ending.  in madden is getting past 2 season in the franchise.  for grand theft auto or saints row i gotta beat them 100%.  some games ill considered beat once i beat the story then unlock all the bonus stuff.  acheivements are weak to me, cus lots of them are online acheivemnts.

Beating the story mode on normal. Thats completion me, the rest is extra. The only 360 game that i have that isn't completed (story mode wise) is dead rising. I kinda gave up on overtime mode like 3 months ago. Its like a hole in my heart.

When I'm bored of it. I played Full Auto the other day, got totally bored after the 2nd set of races, so I sent it back. Just got Prey, hopefully that game keeps my interest for a few days.

I honestly think you beaten a game when you go through the mandatory things in the game. So basically when a game has a percentage of how much is completed I say 100 % even though technically you have beaten a game through its story mode. Even in the last generation of games it was the same thing with Grand Thief Auto Series beating the game 100% will take a long time but going through the story mode is beating the game. With this achievements I personally think it's for bragging rights and to get people to experience the real game.

So I think of it like this if they make a sequel to a game would you be able to understand what's going on throughout the trilogy.

Overtime mode is easy. All you do is collect stuff. Maybe you're thinking Infinity mode.

I consider a game completely finished when I:

1. Complete the main storyline
2. Unlock most or all of the achievements
3. Get to the point to where there is nothing new left to do

Ive owned oblivion since launch day and I completed the main storyline and have unlocked all the achievements...but I  still dont consider the game as completed until I run out of new or fun things to do....which still hasnt happend :)...thank god for content downloads!

It's different for different games. Crackdown would be beating the story mode and maxing out stats, Oblivion would be all acheivements, etc.

So I take it that MOST people believe that a 360 game(or any game for that matter) is beaten when the main storyline is complete?

when i beat the main storyline & unlock reasonable achievments (so like in GRAW i consider it beaten when i beat the game, but dont have to get the #1 ranked in the world achievment)
