Reader Discussion: When Do You Consider A Game Finished?
Is it when the credits roll the first time? Or when you've achieved 100% completion? Or is it just when you start getting bored?
In general, I consider a game finished when I see the credits. Even if there are additional endings, or incentives for getting 100% completion, I usually feel pretty accomplished once I see everyone's name who worked on the game scrolling on the screen. Of course, there are exceptions. I have tracked down every Riddler trophy in every console Arkham game, and it's when I found those that I felt as though I had truly completed those games.
How about you? When are you done with a game?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
