15 Great Games You Should Avoid Completing To 100%

Usaid — Mon, 16 Jan 2023 09:33:52 +0000

Games can be a flexible medium of entertainment in the sense that each player can have a different experience from the same source – and most of the time, that experience is influenced if not governed by the time you spend playing that game. Sure, some of us enjoy spending dozens upon dozens of hours ticking every box and unlocking every trophy – but if those challenges aren’t designed the right way, it can really sour the experience for completionists. And to that effect, here are 15 games that you should avoid completing to 100%.

Please note that most if not all of these games are really great in their own right, and 100% completion criteria aren’t exactly indicative of the general experience of playing these games.

With that out of the way, let’s begin:

Yakuza 0

The Yakuza games are known for stuffing a ton of content into a rather small open-world space, and Yakuza 0 is no different. Completing the game to a 100% would require completing every side quest in the game, playing through all the minigames, eating all the dishes available at restaurants, and completing all related combat challenges. What makes Yakuza 0 a markedly more difficult game to tackle is the fact that some of this progress isn’t shared between Kiryu and Majima, so be prepared to spend dozens upon dozens of hours doing the same chores again and again if you wish to get that coveted platinum.

10 Worst Rewards in Video Games

Video games can be inherently fun but also emotional, demanding investment while also rewarding one for forming such a personal connection. Not every reward is worth the effort though. Some are lackluster while others are just plain insulting. Let’s take a look at 10 of the worst rewards in video games.

Secret Ending – Gex

Gex was painfully unfunny throughout. Still, if you slogged and completed all of the hidden bonus rounds in each world, thus garnering all of the remotes, you’d gain access to Planet X. This is a fairly large world with eight levels and completing all of them will unlock a special ending. Unfortunately, it’s a bit…mixed in the “pride and accomplishment” department. It starts out with a text crawl calling you the best player in the world, universe, etc etc.

However, it gets oddly personal, asking if you have a life or just play games all day, and telling you to think about what you could have done instead of wasting time on Gex. “Go have a life,” it says, before adding “Get out of those superhero pajamas and do something.” Was this meant to be inspirational in some way? A “get your life together before it’s too late, kids” message? Regardless, you’re then treated to some concept art and the credits, which is sort of better but does little to soothe the emotional damage.

13 Video Game Items With Limited Chances to Obtain

When you think about it, playing through a game and missing out on content can be strange. Optional quests and missions that will always be available, even if you complete the story, are one thing. However, there are also certain items that can be obtained only once and may be necessary for certain endings. Then there are items which are just plain amazing, and make you wonder how you ever managed without them. Let’s take a look at 13 of them here.

Babel Fish – The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy isn’t the most straightforward adventure, which is saying something given the book it’s based on. But suffering its idiosyncrasies is required for getting the Babel Fish, which then leads to the atomic vector plotter. Not having it means game over. Furthermore, when acquiring it, you also have to make sure to pick up your towel (don’t ask), failing which can lead to another death. Long story short, don’t panic and don’t forget your towel.
