I consider a game completed once I see the credits. I usually play on "Normal" the first time through unless I feel like "Normal" difficulty might be too easy.

If I liked the game, I may go back and try a higher difficulty level, or grab some acheivements I didn't get the first time through.

In the COD games I'd never try my first playthrough on Veteran ... it would be an incredible exercise in frustration to do so.

I almost always start with 'normal' difficutly and play on through. I don't care about hidden items, secret quests, 'easter eggs' or any other nonsense that drags on the experience. I like to finish the story mode once, so I can critique the game. That being said, it normally takes me more than 8-10 hours to finish a "short" game, so if I do finish within that time, it's labeled too easy. If I don't finish, it's too hard (or frustrating). I skip multiplayer all together, since there's no point in a never-ending game, and only move on to harder difficulties if I'm rewarded for progress (hack n slash). I consider a game "complete" the minute the game ends. Whether I drag on the experience doesn't change my opinions about being complete or not..jjtiebuckle

Hi, thanks, Good points there, especially about the multi player involvement hmm? - must look into this angle More fully, ta. So the game's provision of difficulty levels for the player could well not be needed?. ta..

When I've seen every detail, completed every mission, found all collectibles, read/heard every bit of dialogue, and seen every multiple endings and relived every part several times. That's when I'm done. But there's also a multiplayer mode, then I will continue to play the game until I get bored of multiplayer.EyeWierd20
