Does anyone else in here tend to put way too much effort into a game?

I dont worry about doing everything 100% on a game, and I only really resort to the internet if I'm well and truly stuck on something. If it's an RPG, I prefer to stick with the story, but I will go after a few little extras.

And after I've completed a game, I start a new profile on that game... with cheats.

i get everything on my second play through, everything

I'm satisfied if I do at least 85% of the Game's sidequests and tHEN beat the game

In most cases, once I beat the 'final boss' of a game and see the credits, that's it. I would *like* to be the type of guy who goes back and gets everything, but I rarely attempt it. The closest I ever got was Pokemon Gold/Silver (I bought both), trying to catch 'em all.

Perhaps if I actually finished more games instead of leaving them hanging for months/years, I would be more of a 100%-er.

Like Dreddz though, in fighting games, I can spend a lot of time in training mode.

before i used to jus mess aroun on ff or somethin for hours not knowin about speshul items or strategies or whatever...no i get everything first time round...because....if i attempt to pay somethin again...i get bored and stop hafwayy through...so everythin first time round for me :D
and....i do use faqs too...but thats cuz imma lazy...but i dont read them constantly while i play.....i like how it speeds things up...i nevuh use cheats though...

Filling several houses with all the items to be found in Morrowind was an interesting endeavor...

And all the quests... the maxing of all the stats...

Thank god I have life now...
(SPOILER)Not really....

I usually try and get everything I can, and do everything the right way on my second play through of a game. Then I tend to just give up on that idea half way through and not really care.

I don't. For adventures/RPG's I usually try and complete the game as quick as I can at the bare minimum

Also, trying to do everything in a tri-Ace game isn't exactly healthy. :p :cat: This is especially true for SO2, which has a crazy amount of things to do (80+ endings, etc...). Playing through the game as both Rena and Claude was enough.

Yeah, seeing as you *can't* get everything in SO2, one would think I would give up the whole thing, but I just try and get everything I'm actually technically able to get instead. :rolleyes2

For example, I can't get "all characters in one file" or anything, but then I just get the ones I can, and consider that a "perfect game". :D
