Recent Completions

 

My most recent completion was Mafia: Definitive edition. This was a game that I’d previously played and decided to go back to and get the rest of the achievements. This is rated a 6/10 difficulty and is predicted to take around 25 hours. The difficulty is a six as it requires you to play through the game on the hardest difficulty. I actually didn’t find this a challenge, apart from the race mission which took me hours to do. It took me so long that I learned all the scripted dialogue in the mission. I hate driving in games, and this race is notoriously hard, but eventually I got it. This completion also took me considerably longer than predicted as I had to reset my save and play through the game again due to an achievement being bugged. Luckily, I could play on the easiest difficulty to get the last achievement, but it still ended up taking me 43 hours overall.

 



Before Mafia, I unlocked all of the achievements in Assassins Creed Odyssey. This was another previously played game that I decided to complete. I was left with two base game achievements and all of the DLC to do. Even with the main story completed and out of the way, it still was still a tedious task to unlock everything else. There was no real difficulty to this game, and I can’t remember struggling with anything, but it still took around 120 hours. This was a completion that really dragged, and I was relieved to delete the game off my Xbox and never look at it again once the last achievement popped. I wanted to get all Assassins Creed completions, but this one has put me off going for Valhalla as it follows the same format but is just worse in every way. More collectibles, DLC, 150+ hours, I’m good.



 

Watch Dogs is another recent completion of mine, and it’s one that I mostly enjoyed. I remember liking the game when I played it in 2020, despite its harsh reviews. During this time, I completed the story and left with 40% of the achievements. At the beginning of the year, I revisited this game and unlocked all remaining achievements. I found it to be slightly grindy and didn’t enjoy going for the multiplayer achievements because they took forever to get due to servers being inactive. However, I still enjoyed going for this completion and I don’t think this game deserves all the hate that it gets. I thought the second game was good also, and plan on going back to complete that at some point too. I have 86% of the achievements, so it shouldn’t take too long. I haven’t even bothered to play Legion because it looks terrible, so I have no plans to complete that one, or ever even play it.

How I got into completing games

I have played games ever since I was young, but it wasn’t until recently that I started caring about getting all the achievements that a game has to offer. During covid I played a lot of games and would go for 100% on the odd game with achievement requirements that weren’t massively time consuming to complete, but I was just mainly playing casually for fun at this time. It wasn’t until a couple of years later when I started to watch platinum trophy and completionist content on YouTube that I became really interested in this side of gaming.  Watching other people unlock all of the achievements or platinum my favourite games made me want to do it too, so I decided to start with games that I had already played before and unlock the remaining achievements on those games. I’ve had my Xbox account since 2013, so there were some games that I’d played in the past that had achievements that are no longer unlockable, meaning those completions are now unattainable. This was mostly due to ...

Games I Gave up on

 I don’t usually give up on game completions. If I decide to go for one, I usually commit to it. However, there have been a few exceptions. I planned on going for the completion on Far Cry 5, but at some point, stopped working towards it. I have all the base game achievements, missing only some DLC achievements and the one for completing the game on new game plus on infamous difficulty. I have put 84 hours into this game, with 82% of the achievements. I do plan on going back to this game as it is frustrating to leave it unfinished, but I am unsure when I will do this. This is due to being stuck at one part of the game on infamous difficulty which made me want to throw my Xbox down the stairs. Another game that I have gave up on for now is Assassins Creed 2. I played this game back in 2014 and unlocked 90% of the achievements. I recently decided to go back and get the last four achievements I was missing. My old save from my Xbox 360 had been deleted so I had to start a fresh sa...
