How do you get rid of the completionist urge?

[SyrianSchizoSage]

I always try to 100% games
I guess I never had any achievements in life so I fixate on virtual 100% started with lego games.
I get the 100% and then realize I didn't enjoy the game or get the 100% burnt me out on the game

I get rid of the urge by 100% the game that gives me the urge. There's no way around it. Doing platinum trophies is worse than heroin sometimes.

Especially true if you never accomplished anything in your shitty life

Gigatrue. I have nothing else to my name besides my platinum trophies. And most likely will never have.

I wish games didn't have achievements/trophies. It bothers me if I have some missing.

Just pirate games = no achievements. But if you are a console fag then it's terminal cancer and i cant help you with that.

I got burnout enough to not try again, it was time wasting and I didn't felt satisfied

Definitely not going back to that any time soon

Yea that happens to me I realize I'll never be good enough to 100% get sad and stop or realize the 100% isn't worth it

Just give yourself other things to focus on tbh.

Personally I like to 60% games at the very least, I want as much achievements as I can without having to blow too much time, because 100%ing games usually is a massive chore that I have no time for.

Yea I give up usually but I still feel deflated. Not quite as satisfied.
Love your pfp btw

100% is for the real gamers

 

[guessthatsit]

Pirate them then you won't have to worry about achivements.

 

[Friezacel]

You dont

 

[Leblid]

I dont.

I used to collect mounts in Wow but realized i never used them anyway, so now i jus do the minimal

 

[Hoppipolla]

I don't think I've ever had it tbh.

I do have 100% on some games but only ones that are very easy to get it in.

Maybe the real solution is to try to excel more in the real world? Develop an in-demand skill or something.

 

[AnApparentMyth]

If it's an open world, screw that. If it is something small in size, then give it a shot.

 

[luciolencerr]

i had this feeling until i started working

Play games that have a main story and ignore the things on the side.

I 200% then 240% BAK I got it on XBox and then PC lol.
I just don't get the same satisfaction when I don't get 100%
I use steam achievement manager to 100% shit sometimes it doesn't give me the same satisfaction but it does help me get rid of the urge

 

[Spooky_Heejin]

I'm not sure, I never bothered going for a full 100% completionism. Generally I'm too burnt out of the game to even consider it. Only game I've tried going 100% is Crash 4.

I am clinically addicted to gaming I was dependent on it since I was a kid so I hope I never burn out from it
