According to the trophy percentage on PS4 only 50.6% of the install-base made it past blood-starved beast. How come normies don't finish games, Sup Forums?

BSB is optional

Yes, but going by the percentages this is as far as half the playerbase ever got. Only 47.3% ever beat Vicar Amelia. This isn't just something you can see in Bloodborne, but most games. Movie games like Uncharted 4 only has 43.1% of the install-base beating it. I think it's a valid question

I don't know man, I got to The Spider, fucking Romulus or whatever. I died a couple of times, but at the end of a long session so you put it down for the day. Just never play again then for some reason.

I'm sure this is a small percentage, but that percentage only includes people who have trophies synced to PSN. Anyone without internet wouldn't be included

It wouldn't change too much but maybe a bit

Very few gamers are obsessive completionists, user. I consider myself pretty hardcore but I’m also an adult with limited free time. Don’t act like you don’t have a backlog of dozens of games that you played for a couple hours and always meant to go back and finish but never did.

...

I haven't fully completed every game I ever owned - some just weren't for me. There is a difference between 100% on a game and completing the campaign of a game that seemingly "everyone" is talking about, a game that you bought

What happens is a game gets hyped, people buy it and play it a little, then they drop it for whatever reason and move on to the next hyped game, and the cycle repeats.

Probably a very small fraction, yeah. I am just wondering when a game is "good" and has been out for a while - like BB, or Witcher 3 (or less exploration-focused games like U4 or D44M), why less than half the people playing it seemed to bother completing most games

It happens, man. I think I have at least a dozen games where literally my only achievement is “Complete the Tutorial”.

Maybe it's just me, but years of being a poorfag have forced me to finish every game I purchase, good or bad. To this day it's like there's an alarm in my brain that goes off whenever I feel like I haven't gotten my money's worth out of a game I bought yet.

Is that Steam or the PSN? There's no way people couldn't beat the Last Giant.

I think it's possible that a lot of these people just buy games on sale and barely start them.

>tfw you realize how big of a backlog you have

What did Sup Forums do when they realized they bought too many games, but barely started them?

Looks like Steam to me

Being a poorfag will do that to you. That was me in college, barely able to afford $20 used games from GameStop. Now I make so much money that I buy every single game that even mildly interests me, half of which I barely even touch.

Found one that I wanted to play the next time I needed a new game and played it - stopped buying shit on sale for a while while I cleared up games I actually wanted to play (still gonna get MH:W on launch no matter how big my backlog gets!)

Stopped buying stuff during steam sales.
I played all the console and handheld games I've ever bought, but my steam library is pretty much one giant backlog.

>buy console just for one game
>dont even finish it

lmao

ive been playing games for 30 years and this has never happened to me

if you have a substantial "backlog" it means your standards are low

Trophies lie.

Rain World has like 0,3-4,5 on every achievement. Surely people don't just buy games and not play them?

It's not just casual players, and I think PSN count every account that has Bloodborne, probably that includes those chinese/russian account that people sell.

If the algorithm works the way it's supposed to then either a substancial amount (10-20%) of players always disconnect permanently from the internet after starting a game or they simply start it, make a snap judgement and never play it again for years. Look at Steam statistics too

I thought it was every account that creates a save data (installs trophy information) of said game
