[General Discussion] One. Hundred. Percent.

The only games I ever went on to finish 100% were Super Mario World, Jak & Daxter and (in this case 102%) Donkey Kong Country 2. The last few levels, especially the parrot race, drove me up the wall.

My Metroid Prime item rate is 98% right now, I can't find that one missile pickup ._.

I'm a compulsive collector by heart, I try to get everything as I go along, as I usually don't plan on replaying a game multiple times. I have so many games queued up, I figure I finish one, I move on, so I might as well experience the best ending and the most extras as I can.

Hidden plot points and characters, relevant details in RPGs are the type I try to see on my first (only) playthrough, but I'm not the type who wants the super hard to find but ultimately useless item just for the sake of doing a 100% game. I am a compulsive collector, but my collecting is focused on relevant stuff.

Actual item hogging only happens in games were 100% actually gives you something (Metroid games, compared to something like FF7 where item finding makes no difference in the end). It's wonderful that games can afford this kind of replay value for the compulsive and determined, but most of the time it's not for me.

How ya doing, buddy?
