Getting all of the achievements and trophies in a game is often a grueling task that I am intrigued by, but I almost always walk away feeling disappointed. The reason I complete a game in the first place is because I enjoy it, but when I actually do it, I end up resenting it. So in this video I discuss some of the troubles with completing games and conducted interviews with people far more knowledgeable than me to get a better sense of what goes into actually good achievements. So this is my video on completing games (and why I barely do it).

Here are the awesome folks I interviewed!
