100%
I don’t think I have ever completed a game to 100% before, at least not one like this. Last night I did that with Lego Indiana Jones, and the last few hours felt like I would imagine level grinding in an RPG must feel like (not being a fan of that particular genre I wouldn’t know).
But 100% it is, there is now nothing more I can do with the game, I can replay the levels of course but with nearly all of the achievements unlocked and a play time that would probably surprise me if I knew what it actually was I can safely say that with Lego studs now raining when I walk around Barnett College that I will probably not go back to it. Well, maybe.
I’m not entirely sure why I invested so much time to the game either, but that “got to unlock everything” ethic that has been distilled in me since GTA IV obviously took hold, but wasn’t there when I played the Lego Star Wars games. Must just be the power of the franchise I suppose.
So now that Indy is done I’m turning to the next gaming challenge. I still have Bioshock to continue with, which now seems to be the game I go back to for fun between new titles. Alone in the Dark should arrive here on Friday (I even ordered the Collector’s Edition that is exclusive to GAME, which seems like a worthwhile package) and I’m still tempted by Metal Gear Solid 4. Like many people I played the previous games a little but never really got that far into them. But as it is such an epic and important title for the PS3 I almost feel obligated to try it out. I might even like it.

Congrats !
I have so many games that I have never finished the single player on. I love multiplayer, just love it. Many times I get a game just for the multiplayer.
I never felt the urge to complete to 100% except with the lego games, and RPG’s (MassEffect, Oblivion, etc.). Story driven RPG’s I feel the urge to do all the stuff before I finish it (that’s why Oblivion took me two years to finish the main story line . . . that and other good games kept comming out).
The grinding away gets old to me pretty quick and I loose interest before I even get close to finishing . . . so I solute you sir for sticking with it and getting 100% !
Thanks buddy! Towards the end I was just trying to get the Lego studs to buy all the special mailbox extras like Treasure x5. I ended up playing the start of one level a load of times because if you were fast you could get three studs that were worth a load of points (that sounds dodgy).
I was relieved, and so was Sally. Who never wants to hear the Indy theme ever again.
I’m trying to go back and do the same thing since at work I’m finding that there is a mini achievement war going on. My problem is that most of my old games have online achievements, and the community is so little now because the games came out so long ago. But congrats on the 100%!
