    By the term 'Completionist', I mean, do you like to try and do and complete everything in your video games, so that you will technically finish it, 100%? Like, say, you try and unlock everything in certain games, like, unlocking all of the fighters in fighting games, or, if you would like to try and get some of the titles, or conversations, or other things that you can get from certain JRPGs, like the Tales series? Things like that.

    So, are you a completionist, or, do you like to complete and unlock everything that you possibly can in your video games?

    It depends... Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't if I lose interest in the game. Most times I just play and don't try at all, haha! Like with Skylanders, I won't replay the level over and over to get everything unless it's an upgrade.

    Ohhh, guaranteed! Whilst not so much true for games that I play on ps3/ps4, back in the antiquated era of the PS1 and PS2 I used to complete everything 100%. Nowadays, my one hundred percent achieving goals have sorta...skewed moreso towards getting 100% trophy completion on trophy enabled games. I usually don't even bother anymore with games that go without trophy lists. It's a bit...strange, but I see no point in wasting the time in doing so. PS1/PS2 being the sole exception because those were the games I grew up playing -- and thus they've always had a certain 'charm' to them.

    Very much so. I don't like leaving games with unfinished things, unless they bore me. If they do bore me, which usually they don't then I'll decide against completing it fully.

    Oh yeah, definitely, I paid for a game, so I need to see everything it has to offer, I don't always succeed, but it's so satisfying when I do :D

    That just depends on how much I enjoyed the game. If, after finishing the game, I really want to play more, I'll definitely go for the full 100%. But if I don't feel like it, I won't do it.

    Yeah, it depends, but, well, what sorts games would you guys try to get 100% in, if any? o:

    Not at all! I just play video games for fun. There have been times where I've felt like getting 100% but for the most part I just like to enjoy the experience without having to do anything tedious that 100% usually requires.

    It honestly depends on the game, but most of the time I'm not a completionist. I feel like that takes out the initial fun of the game. Getting 100% is really tedious and can take a long time, and I personally have no patience for that. xD

    I probably will 100% a game as far as I'm willing to go before it reaches 'pull my hair out' levels of either difficulty or tedium. Say in Brawl, where I have opened the entire Challenge Board bar the "Collect every Sticker" one.

    Basically, if it will take me forever, I'm probably going to set the game down and say I'm good. If I am confident I can beat the game, I will do it. 100% EX mode of Kirby's Return to Dreamland, for example.
