Topic: What Term Do You Use For Completing A Game?

No-one in Britain winges when you call us Poms, we don't even take it as offensive. Like with all things to do with Australia, we treat you as our little brother, we ruffle your hair, we don't take you seriously.

ruffles skywakes hair

Starting to think it must be, as it's pretty standard around these here parts.

Never heard of it lad, and I've lived north and south. It's on the urban dictionary tho', so you must be right.

Clocked it = finished it.

As in the sentence - shall we play Resident Evil then? No, I've seen it clocked.

Or - just got M Bison to beat, then we've clocked it.

Speak English boy. Are you by any chance, from Londinium? What with all your fancy hip talkin', I can't help but wonder.

Watch your mouth or i'll stomp you like the Goomba you are, then I will have clocked you

"Durchgespielt" !

Oh goody, i "completed this game".

"beat" if I saw the credits. "got 100%" if I got 100%.

Beat...finished...completed...all of the above. I only seem to get "clocked" when I'm doing like 100 in a 55.

But I have an extremely short attention span when it comes to games...so I rarely complete any of them. I'm trying to do better though! When I do manage to beat a game, I usually break out into a little ditty and dance that goes a little something like this:

"Finished" is what I use, and rarely, I'll admit.

"Beat" makes it sound as though the game was your opponent rather than your partner in enjoyment. I think that term is best used for adversaries and fur seals, myself.

I use the term conquered.

"Completed" or "beaten" for reaching the credits. "100%'d" for completing 100%.

i sometimes say that i "Bidoofed" the game

denouement-ed

:gets hi-technicaaaaaaaaaal:

"Beaten" - The main objective has been accomplished. Usually marked by the defeat of a final boss and/or viewing of credits.
"Completed" - For games which are 100% done. All extras and modes have been unlocked and finished. All significant items have been collected.

@pixelman

That's actually how I use the two terms as well, except when I'm feeling corny, like now.

I sometimes use 'perfect file' as well, for having a save game that you can't improve upon, in any way the game records, anyway.

So my Link To The Past save game with all hearts, all equipment, 999 Rupees, all dungeons fully explored, all caves open, 4 bottles of Blue Potion, 0 games played on the file select screen, etc = perfect file.

Beating Gannon = clocked.

I mean if I really beat the game I would say "I friggin' destroyed it!".
