Games really worth finishing 100%

[Zefar]

Zelda games, well the later ones at least.
Some Final Fantasy games.

 

[Herculean Exemplar]

Mass Effect, because that way you can make the game last longer than a few hours.

GTAIV
Oblivion although i've not done 100% of oblivion just main story and a few side quests
Doom 3 - Last few levels are really creepy and its always nice to kick the Cyberdemon's arse
F.E.A.R the ending was really good when i first played it, proper cliff hanger

Saints Row 2... Very nearly there...

Did you happen to like the Story Line?

I was leaps and bounds more interested in the storyline for SR2 than GTAIV and that wasn't even the selling point of SR2 .

Maybe it was because I was using that grissly white guy voice, it fit the dude I made perfectly.

I loved the story line, the fucked up logic of creating a hell hole for civilians and wiping out any other gangs was written very well.

Also, from the sounds of it, you picked the cockney accent as well...

Most good platfomers.
I'm talking the original 'Spyro the Dragon' and 'Crash Bandicoot' trilogies for PSOne.
Same for the 'Jak'-series and the Racthet & Clank'-series
And the Rayman games that were platformers.

They are fun, pretty lenghty and always make you come back for more. Therefor, getting 100% is a really enjoyable thing to do. Main reason is that there aren't many annoying/boring things you have to do to achieve that 100%.

And there are always rewards: secret levels, unlocking artwork, new weaponry, cutscene galleries, etc.

And they don't take up as much time as the average RPG (which I enjoy as well, mind you!)

Mentioning this, here are two jRPG's that are totally worth playing out 100% without having to grind or do annoying stuff:

Shadow Hearts
Shadow Hearts Covenant

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Granted, I played it on the Wii (curse families with crappy consoles) but the two different endings are awesome.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed was not a game that was worth beating a second time just to see another 5 minute ending. I'm not sure how the Wii version was, but once I played through the game once (and unlocked everything the first time, besides the evil costume and evil ending) I didn't need to play the whole game again. The game was fun to play a first time, but once you play the same levels over, with no variety, it loses it being fun.

Well, The wii version is crap, but I really paid a lot of attention to the story, so I was quite happy completing it 100%.

Saints Row 2... Very nearly there...

I would have loved to have gotten that far in that game, but alas, the Insurance Fraud always foiled my attempts...great game though, super fun!

 

[Arbitrary Cidin]

I have to say Mass Effect, just because there's so much more you can understand in the story from the countless sidequests, especially ones specific to team members.

 

[S-Unleashed]

Pokemon for Nintendo handhelds.

This.

 

[Pimppeter2]

TES V Oblivion

But do I think its possible?

 

[domin117]

Fallout 3 (although i haven't been able to beat it yet, i just know i'm going to want to play through again with bad karma) BioShock (even if it is just to play the Fort Frolic Level) Portal

 

[scnj]

Oblivion and Fallout 3 I've done, and I'm working on Grand Theft Auto IV now.

 

[Chipperz]

I'm surprised noone's said San Andreas! It's still the best GTA out there, there's loads to do, and it's the only one I've actually managed to care about enough to complete.

Saint's Row 1 & 2, Fallout 3, LittleBIGPlanet, Morrowind and Oblivion are all also good.

 

[Martino Fox]

COD 4, getting that epilogue on veteran achievement is worth it for the bragging rights.

Agreed, its hard enough to do.

/emote begins bragging

 

[KAPTAINmORGANnWo4life]

Monster Hunter. It has a great world, and if you get a good group online, there's nothing quite as fun as bringing down a giant dragon after close to a half-hour, nail-biting hunt with your buddies.

Believe it or not, I'd also recommend Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End for the Wii. TONS of unlockable characters give you hours of play, and quite a bit of humorous changes to the plot. "Oh, Davey Jones and Chow Yun-Fat fought the British at the end? Not the main characters? Good to know!". I had fun with it at least.

 

[Vrex360]

Bioshock, Oblivion, Halo trilogy, Saint's Row 2, Fallout 3 (I imagine, haven't beaten it yet stuck at the 'little lamplight' quest), Gears of War 2, Dead Space (for me at least) and probably Mass Effect if you can endure the amount of empty planets.

ledgend of zelda: ocarina of time for N64, great game, specialy dificult if yuo try the three hearts chalenge

 

[thewerebuffalo]

Metroid Prime by far. everything is interesting to read

 

[MetallicaRulez0]

Mass Effect is the only game so far that I have even attempted to get achievements for. I'm very nearly finished with it, just need another playthrough for Asari and Quarian ally.

 

[dsau]

Morrowind
