As per title. Most computer games these days are made with such unnecessary padding that I want to murder the devs or myself by the end. See, for example, Hyrule Warriors, the 100% 1000 Hour Nightmare, the Review.

The second game I ever 100%ed was Arceus and I still can’t stand the thought of picking it up again, years later. The first game was Horizon Zero Dawn, which is still fun.

I'm the kind of person who has no issues with moving on from a game with only 20% of the achievements/trophies unlocked after beating the final boss. If it's not fun, it's not fun.

I think the only two games I set out to 100% were probably Super Mario World, or Donkey Kong Country 2.

I did dk1, dk2 and super Metroid from that era. Great games. Dk2 is unreal, top 20 for sure.

There were WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too many secret caves in DKC1 to try to 100%. I did try to complete DKC3, but I don't think I achieved it.

Ah dk3, the one I've NEVER beat. I always set out to do it and grow bored first. I think by the time I started playing that really good games existed like halo and the like.

Me too. Most things I play because i want to know what happens next. If I know everything then I am done with the game.

Sometimes I like the gameplay that much that it happens automatically. Bloodborne comes to mind.
