Worst Games to 100% Complete

Being a completionist can be fun, but some games are more like chores than fun. Here are the worst games to 100% complete.

The Yakuza Games

Haha, yeah, currently over 100 hours into Yakuza 0. Considering going for 100% and well on the way but may not get there. Cat Fights are a real chore.

I use to be a trophy hunter, was getting around 20 to 30 platinums a year. Had a saying of Play-Beat-Platinum, play and enjoy the game like there wasn't no trophies, beat it and at least get 50% then look at them and see if I'll platinum and platinum it. I think death star was a pain, the servers was ending so i had to rush and play that for awhile none stop. NGs2 was hard because of that online trophy but easy if you had the partner that can do it for you while you grab the enemy attention. Grinding idk, death was grinding last one I had to grind for platinum literally 1 trophy needed was dungeon travler or something vita gave up on it. After that I stop trophy hunting get like a 1 platinum a year or 0.

[Knushwood Butt]

Yeah, if I enjoy a game I usually go for the platinum unless there are some unreasonable trophies in there.

For Yakuza 0 I've invested too much time in it to give up just yet and most of the content is good fun, apart from Cat Fighting which is broken and dull after a couple of fights.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 was literally the last platinum I got on PS3. After that, I went into PS4 kinda deflated and getting them where it felt appropriate.

I genuinely HATED that platinum, but it was a personal challenge I took upon myself. It was a lot of "get 1,000 kills with [insert weapon]" and it got to be a bit tedious. Master Ninja really pissed me off, but the WORST which you alluded to was that bloody Gold trophy for missions that you needed to do online because the AI was useless and got wrecked in moments. I jumped on the game a bit late so I struggled with finding a partner for at least 1.5 months. After that, I burned out hard with trophy hunting. I still came back for games I really enjoyed (Bloodborne, Dark Souls III, Nier: Automata, and a few others that escape me) and low hanging fruit that was just a bit time consuming and I didn't want to buy new games at the time (Final Fantasy XV). Total, it becomes clear where I taper off since I've only plat'ed 33 games since there inception of trophies which really isn't much.

Screw Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 lol. That game was pure nightmare fuel.

[blackblades]

I say never force getting a platinum, its not worth the trouble definitely if it costing you to waste time on chore like grind. Those brainless design trophies.

[hotnickles]

Dead rising was the worst one I’ve ever tried. I haven’t tried it with the modern console “rest mode” but the 360 didn’t have that.

[Duke19]

Was GTa4 the on where you had to collect a shit ton of pigeons around the map and there was no help in finding them?

[roadkillers]

Yep. I’d say GTASA was more difficult since there were so many collectibles

[Profchaos]

The saving grace was that there was only on average 50 collectables with the two exceptions being graffiti and oysters from memory horseshoes and photos were capped at 50 each.

But for me it was all the other grind that was way more painful in SA like the car export lists which even with guides took way longer than collecting stuff

[iivGHOST]

There was a guide book that came out with the game that had all the pigeons in it. I actually still have it

[Profchaos]

Yeah that was the one.

[Chocoburger]

One of the more recent games I got a Platinum in was Killzone: Mercenary for Vita. What a crap game, that requires so much terrible grinding.

Awful game, awful experience.

[Knushwood Butt]

Did we play the same game?

[outsider1624]

Oh man..wish i could get a vita. I've been trying to get a preowned too(in my country) but no luck.

[CantThinkOfAUsername]

I can vouch for Just Cause 2. It was the reason I quit achievement hunting. 86 hours in, the game bugged on me during one of the last side quests (it failed no matter what I did) and my save file got corrupted. Wiped it off my drive and never looked back.

[SonyStyled]

I downloaded the ‘complete edition’ or whatever it was called for $2 about 7yrs ago in hopes of trophy hunting it for a platinum. It always sounded fun and I would like to commit time to it but not enough for a platinum trophy

[MrGameAndWatch]

Oh yeah. Valve was quite creative with TF2 achievements. Got a lot of them but hell.. But you can unlock all of them with a single terminal command, so its off list :)

[gold_drake]

most of the kingdom hearts games.
i hate the minigames to no end.

[Xenial]

I whole heartedly enjoyed every moment of completing Just Cause 2 100%. GTA IV is another I'd like to 100%, however, I didn't ever get around to it.

[LoveSpuds]

Assassins Creed Valhalla was a monumental effort to 100 percent, never been happier to see a Platinum trophy pop so I could uninstall the game!

[jeromeface]

sounds like it played you... ;)

[Gardenia]

There was one trophy that you cannot get after they updated the game and increased your level, unless you pay for the DLC.

[LoveSpuds]

I had one side quest bug out, it was like a Robin Hood archery contest if I remember correctly. So the platinum was very nearly missed but thankfully the quest was patched around the time I was mopping up a couple of loose ends.

To be clear, overall I loved the game, but it did get so bloated by the end that I just wanted it to end!

[SonyStyled]

10,003 kills in BF: Bad Company multiplayer, along with getting all the online awards for 100% trophies/achievements was a pretty bad one.
Some people had problems in World at War single player trophies if I remember but I didn’t have a problem. Killzone 2 multiplayer trophy for being top 1% player for the week was quite a commitment too. 10,000 kills in Resistance 2 wasn’t challenging but time consuming. Those are my most ‘memorable’ 100%

[LoveSpuds]

Did you earn any of those 100 percents?

[SonyStyled]

On all of them yea. There was a hard one in World at War map pack as well

[LoveSpuds]

Fair play to you SonyStyled (& Knush), that's pretty hard-core!!!

[Knushwood Butt]

I have the Resistance 2 platinum.

[Vanfernal]

Persona 5 nearly broke The Completionist.

[Pyrofire95]

I've been getting Platinum Trophies for the Assassin's Creed games and working on AC3 right now. It really blows to do all this busy work of just gathering all these posts.

Some satisfaction of seeing the keepsakes start to fill the Homestead house and I'm finding mechanics I didn't know about. Already beat the game so probably wont use them but they're there.

[LoveSpuds]

Just wait until you get to the most recent 3 titles squire, the maps are insanely huge and littered with side content!! I have the Platinums in these though, but have been considering going back to the earlier game to platinum them too.

[Pyrofire95]

This list doesn't even seem that meaningful.
Just playing through some JRPGs will take 80+ hours to complete normally. (ie Trails)

[LoveSpuds]

The Yakuza games are a nightmare to Platinum as you often need to master some kind of business management simulation too or max out XP to fill out insane combat skill trees.

[Knushwood Butt]

These aren't too bad in Yakuza 0 as those businesses are pretty addictive IMO and you can just spend the profits on maxing out skill trees as there isn't much else to spend the cash on.

[andy85]

Not really sure why GTA IV is on this list when V and San Andreas aren't. They're both longer to 100%. And have so many more collectibles. But I never find it a chore tbh (currently 98% through SA Platinum for the 3rd time) I'd gladly 100% IV again if they ever port it to new consoles.

[Master of Unlocking]

"What do you think are the worst games to 100% complete? "

Batman Arkham Knight. Absolutely horrible game in this regard. The worst of all. And you had to collect each and every of those tiny bits of worthless tat in order to see the true ending.

[itBourne]

By far the first Infamous! Spent hours on hours on hours and on hours trying to find the last 2 damn blast shard... Was infuriating... Then my buddy got drunk and looked for like 4 hours one night, gave up, I walked like 2 feet, and both of them where there, it wasnt even rewarding after like 40 hours of hunting lmao
