100 games isn't a lot. I have 150 games on my PS4 alone heh. Not that I have nearly as much time to play them anymore, but still. I'm 21. Been playing games since I was 5. A lot of you are older than me and you're telling me in all your years of gaming you haven't played 100 games?
i've played 200+

i've played THROUGH maybe 50
Fair enough. I can actually say I've completed almost all the games I've played. But there's quite a few I haven't.
that would mean you've completed almost all the games you disliked

why would you do this
Easy, if I buy a game, I know I'm gonna like it. Now I have been disappointed. But I've never regretted a purchase and dreaded to play the game. There are quite a few free games I slogged through though. Just because. Last year, I barely bought any games, or this year. I'm getting Destiny 2(yeah yeah, shit talk all you want), MAYBE Shadow of War since I liked Shadow of Mordor. And I also bought Pillars of Eternity. I played a good bit of it at a friends house but never bought it myself, until now.
we should also draw a distinction between "beat" and "complete"

if you've beaten every game you've played, i could understand that more than 100% completion

Oh God no. It would take me years just to 100% the games on my PS4 alone. Not happening.

I don't force myself to play games I don't really like, but if I had to make a top 100 list and I only actually enjoyed about 60 of them I'd have to fill the rest of the spots with 40 games I haven't beat but still played to some degree

I tend to place Halo Reach as my favourite in the series because of the aesthetic, the fun campaign and the forge and customs, though it's probably one of the worst mechanically in the series.
Spoiler
1. Star Wars Battlefront II
2. Halo Reach
3. Titanfall 2
4. Fallout New Vegas
5. Halo 3
6. Halo 2 Anniversary (multiplayer)
7. Titanfall
8. Fallout 3
9. Halo 3 ODST
10. Star Wars Battlefront I (2004)
11. Halo CE
12. Halo 2 (mainly for campaign, I'm not big on its multiplayer)
13. Mass Effect
14. Mass Effect 2
15. Mass Effect 3
16: Metro 2033 (Redux)
17: Metro Last Light (Redux)
18: Far Cry 3
19: Fallout 4
20: Skyrim
21: Far Cry 4
22: Ratchet and Clank 2
23: Ratchet and Clank 3
24: Ratchet: Gladiator
25: Battlefield 4
26: Bad Company 2
27: Battlefield 3
28: Elite Dangerous
29: Saint's Row: The Third
30: Saint's Row IV
31: Ratchet and Clank
32: Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars
33: Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy
34: Lego Star Wars
35: Wolfenstein: The New Order (Would be higher but I've only played through it once)
36 Half-Life (same as Wolfenstein)
37: Half-Life 2 (also same as Wolfenstein)
Some other notable mentions I guess would be Alien Isolation and DOOM 2016, but I haven't finished either yet. I also really enjoyed the campaign of Infinite Warfare but that's because it really appealled to my niche and want for EVA space combat, bug it definitely wasn't mechanically good enough.

I suppose doing that list made me realise that I really don't buy many games. Honestly, anything past ODST I could probably reorder and still be fine with.

So where's Halo CE and Halo 2 at on that list? Halo CE was the main factor in what made the OG Xbox successful and I believe Halo 2 is what jump started Xbox Live or at least increased the subscriptions to a substantial amount. I think Halo CE and Halo 2 left a far larger impact in gaming than what Half Life 2 and The Last of Us left.

Then for GTA 5 I feel that game should be replaced with San Andreas. The story mode to that game is a lot funnier to play than GTA 4 and 5, the islands have a hell of a lot more to them for environment and that game is a lot more ambitious. By that compare Vice City to GTA 3 and then compare SA to Vice City. For the single player mode RockStar added a shit load of content to San Andreas which I don't think GTA 5 can top when we compare that game to GTA 4.

The only thing GTA 5 has going for it is its online and even that I find to be shit. GTA 4's was built around fun, GTA Online is built around a long grind which is trying to force micro transactions down the players throat. There isn't even a game mode where you can turn the cops off so you can dick around with your friends.
