Just FYI, the reason so many people don't have the achievement for leaving the vault in Fallout 4 is because running mods disables achievements, so they're probably people who never played without mods installed.
That's why I use the mod that enables achievements again. 😄But that is a fair point. I never play any Bethesda game without mods, yet they always want to disable achievements for doing so.
@@Insanemonk11xbox has mods and ps has mods as well and in with spotastic i always run modded bethesda games especially after finding sim settlements for fallout 4

On the Slytherin thing, based mainly on my brother’s choice and a tiny bit of my own opinion, it’s because Slytherin has neat colors and the absolute coolest common house. Nothing to do with mischief, they just want the underwater lake dorm and green clothes.
Beat me to it. I could go on and on about individual interpretations of what Slytherin "truly" stands for and how they're not actually fundamentally evil and such at all, but you don't even have to go that far. Slytherin green looks sooooo much better than Gryffindor colors. For some, (and that includes me,) that alone is enough to make the decision already. I just REALLY don't like Gryffindor colors. And Hufflepuff colors are even worse!
I think another significant factor to consider is that people doing a "good guy" play through will be split up between 3 houses, while pretty much anyone doing a "bad guy" play through will choose Slytherin.
It didn't help that jkr herself misrepresented the houses always. Specially since hermine is ravenclaw and dracos dense lackeys are, surprisingly, griffendor. And even then the houses overlap with each other using synonyms regardless
Another thing is that the main story is closely related to the Slytherin house and one of the best side quests comes from a Slytherin. I think people may also make one for an evil/bad guy playthrough (I created a Mean Girl alt for example).
Having watched a lot of young'uns play Green Hill Zone in Sonic over the last few years; I can tell you that it's because they cannot manage the spin dash & the concept of momentum. The first time that they come to a quarter circle to get up, they simply cannot work it out. Nor do they understand the concept of sometimes needing a run up.
Oh I know! My daughter is 11 and a few months ago was excited to see that I had the OG Sonic games on a Sega collection. And she couldn't understand how the spin dash worked at ALL... No matter how many times I explained how and why to do it. Saddened me a bit
@@mikaruyami I played Sonic 1 and 2 on my Genesis as a teenage kid back when they were freshly released and even I never finished either of them. Got to the level where it flooded a few times occasionally but never got past it. Never finished Battletoads, Altered Beast, Zombies ate my Neighbors, Mega Turrican, Exodus, Sonic Spinball, Earthworm Jim, NBA Jam, Golden Axe, Mortal Kombat 2, etc (off the top of my head) either. The only titles I remember actually finishing were the easier beat em' up's like Streets of Rage, and the Power Rangers movie game, oh and the Ninja Turtles Hyperstone Heist game. I might have finished others but I can't remember, I had more games than that but just can't remember them all as it's been too long. I played these titles from the age of 14 in 1990 through like 19 in 1995 when my dad bought me a Playstation for Christmas. Guess I've just never been very good at video games in all honesty. I still suck at them these days.
There are achievements for just starting certain games. As in, literally installing them and actually running them. Achievements that are super early in any game are really statistics of people who bought the game and never bothered to install/run the game. So you have to take final boss completion percentages and subtract the first achievement percentage difference to 100% to get the true game completion rate.
The Slytherin trophy might be explained by the fact that "good" playthroughs have 3 choices and the "evil" one has one (Slytherin). Moreover, I'd imagine that since the majority joined any of the 3 good schools, on a 2nd playthrough many players might want a totally different experience, opting for Slytherin.
That's one thing I hate about Fallout 4/Skyrim. Even if you add something as simple as a graphic enhancing mod or maybe a stability mod to make the game run a little more smoothly, it disables the achievements for that save file.
For any achievements that track the percentage of people who get past the early/first level, I'm one of those responsible for it being so low. I buy games often when they're on sale and I always "test" them for a few minutes once they're installed (if you're as old school as I am, you know the problems of buying game CDs that don't work lol). However, I don't always get to play those games until a few years later because of my backlog. My understanding is that once you run the game, you're part of the pool of total number of players being tracked for achievement completion? So yeah, guilty as charged. 😅😅
Very good point. I was looking for a comment like yours. When I got to this entry of the list, I thought right away: "Wait a minute! The fact that the player hasn't gotten past the first level *yet* does not mean that they don't plan to - eventually."
I do this but its me realising that I'm either not in the mood now or I know that at a later time the game will be the best thing I need. God of War and Ghosts of Tsushima were both the latter for me. One I was looking for a cheesy high fantasy type of game and tried God of War and realised within 5 minutes it wasn't for me. But I love vikings and I knew I'd eventually be in a viking mood at some point and will really appreciate its way of story telling then. (PS I then played FFXII and it was the exact thing I needed at that time).
As far as Slytherin being more popular than Gryfindor, it isn't that players generally choose the upright and good choices, but that the 'evil' choices are usually framed as just being a puppy-kicking jerk.
I don't have stats to back it up but I think a lot of people chose their house specifically because of the aesthetic of the common room. We've all seen the Gryffindor common room throughout the entirety of the main series so now (at least personally) I'm going to choose a common room that I think is the coolest, in my case Hufflepuff but let's face it, Slytherin's common room is friggin cool
I'm a long term dnd player and the problem of cartoonish evil is omnipresent. There is just as much evil in the world as there is good, but it's smart enough(most of the time) to realize that being loud leads to death.
Thing with FIFA is that it's important to remember that it essentially plays off a tribalistic bias in the player base - i.e. a team we support in real life, so it's not exactly uncommon that the percentage of players playing a womens international match will be low. Most of us don't have an emotional investment in the womens game, we're not really super aware of the womens game in general, so less likely to pick it as a secondary option. At the risk of sounding slightly Joey Barton, I'm actually surprised it's as high as it is, given that even with the girls playing the game the reality is if you asked them the overwhelming majority will support a mens team, I'm all for the ladies being in the game, but it doesn't mean I'm going to randomly pick one to play unless I'm specifically out to pop that achievement. (Incidentally, making it an achievement actually degrades the figure as many will have popped it purely for the achievement rather than any natural desire to play a women's international)
@@MPKLBN-t6v this simply shows the biological difference in both sexes where man by natural design are build with more muscles making them faster, stronger etc. Woman sports are not as brutal as their male counterpart hence it makes for a less thrilling watch experience. It has nothing to do with their capability of playing their respective sports.
I have to admit I myself have never played as a woman's team on FIFA, I didn't know it was an option. I feel kind of bad. But to be fair I like 3 hours in the game because I got it because my friends who are very into soccer told me to get it
@@DanCantStandYA Bethesda had some mods for PS and Xbox, not many and not great ones but they are there. You're right though that the playstation doesn't have overall mod support though.
As someone who takes prolonged breaks from games, I'd say most players who haven't completed a "short" game may either be taking their time finishing them, or got caught up in side content, which tends to make these games way longer, especially if you do all new unlocked side content before continuing the story.
I remember playing a game on my steam account, but played some of it on my laptop without internet connection. Beating a boss on the road and continuing the game to the end back at home, I realized that I was missing that boss achievement. Being a mid game boss, I wasn’t going to play it again to get that one achievement.
That's bad game design on the developers part. On Steam, a game can check to see which of it's achievements have been awarded and if one that should have been isn't showing up, can resend the achievement to Steam. Or, it can be lazy and just re-award all earned achievements anytime the game is played as you'll only see the achievement popup from Steam if one of them hadn't previously been recorded on their end.
I was a little worried about that with the Steam Deck, since I’d noticed this issue of Steam achievements popping without internet before during a power outage; thankfully in my case it was just the FF9 ones for calling each summon, no big deal. Supposedly the Deck at least checks for that, syncing and awarding your achievements once you get internet again, but f$&@ if I’m gonna be the one to test that.
The Slytherin statistic didn't come as a suprise. There's a couple of generic Harry Potter tat shops in York and I asked the staff in one of them which house they shift the most gear for and they said it was Slytherin by a wide margin.
To be fair Hunt Showdown's primary objective is NOT killing other players but, to find and kill the boss enemies, take their trophy and escape the map. Add on the fact that character leveling progression comes to a screeching halt if you die as death is permanant for your hunters.
I think another FromSoft game worth commenting on is Bloodborne. I think like half the players didn't get past the first mandatory boss, Father Gascoigne, while about a quarter of players defeated Mergo's Wet Nurse, the last required boss for the game. All things considered, that's a remarkable retention rate after the first boss
That is probably because Bloodborne is on PS plus, so lots of players got the game fought the cleric beast because they didn't know they didn't have to fight him at that point, died a few times, then quit
I think it's a running theme with From games and Soulslikes in general - that adrenaline hit of beating the first mandatory boss is enough to make things click. A personal example is the first proper boss in Nioh, I struggled so much with Onryoki to the point of quitting when I first picked it up, saw a video with someone saying treat Nioh like a Diablo game not a Soulslike, went back, farmed up a bit of gear and wiped the floor with the big lad and I was hooked.
But it was also released at a time that the Dark Souls formula was just starting to become popular. There would have been a ton of people completely unaware and incapable of that difficulty at the time
that sonic one makes complete sense. I remember notnknowing about sonic games, giving it a try and immediately regretting it because of the lack of view. now I understand it's more of a memory and reaction speed run type game which is fine in itself but it didn't suit what I wanted and it was a mistake to purchase it. I'd imagine that many people felt the same way
But she's wrong in that the objective is to kill other players. That's only true for the battle royale mode. The game's true objective is to kill the boss monster(s) and escape with the bounty.
@@AdderTude Agreed. It's a clever concept, unfortunately going against other players requires a lot of skill, and new players will lose to experienced, that's why a lot of players will not advance much.
how much do you want to bet that 50% of players who havent beaten the game is the unsold stock sitting on walmarts /retail shelf whats more shocking is it took you this long to realize this isnt just some games who have this problem all games do why does game a have 20% and game have 50 because game a is unpopular and wouldnt have that much surplus stock omg it makes sense i swear im shocked people still think those are actual players
@@AusSP umm except the games sold to walmart are already classified as sold by that very metric nothing you stated contradicted the point just that you have opinions and no one values those
Slytherin being the most popular makes sense. Myself, and a few others a know, played in our sorted house then played another play trough as a slytherin (I chose to not learn the curses as a hufflepuff and learned them all as a slytherin)
Saddest thing is looking at trophies and achievements and realizing the reality that most games are only even beaten by 30%-10% of players who play them.
I'm a fan of open world games and often abandon the main quest as soon as possible. The few games I do complete tend to be games where I feel I've explored everything there is to explore, quested as many quests as I can find, and looted everything not nailed down first. There's a few exceptions where the world opens up as you complete the story meaning the story progression is required to continue exploring, but those aren't the majority of games. Also I think maybe you should look at how many people played the story at all, a lot of games people play purely for the multiplayer and never completed the first mission of the story mode.
Depends on the player and game. Some don't like the game or too hard, others are very casual or time poor. Some like me just fool around a lot or get sidetracked. I have hundreds of hours in Borderlands and Diablo games - have never finished them. I have 400 hours in Snowrunner, maybe 25% complete. I just like driving around!
I went for slytherin in HL because the books make it out to be a bad guy factory and I wanted to see it get fleshed out more. Plus I like their color palette the most
I love hunt showdown, but I'm not surprised more people haven't killed another player. It's a game where everything thing can and will kill you before you even find your bounty, a single shot can kill you, and cover can be shot through. When your hunter dies you lose everything, so finding the bounty and quicky leaving before ever seeing another player is the way to go. Plus, the game has a serious cheating problem😢 which almost killed it. Even now, if you look at the top players, the numbers don't add up, showing that the top 20 have more kills than is possible in the number of matches played.
One thought is that those players that have made Gryffindor, HufflePuff, or Ravenclaw characters were more likely to try a Slytherin character on a second playthrough than they were one of the other houses.
Not to mention the story slightly changes based on which house and the location/design of the common room is different. Since being Slytherin doesn't mean you have to be a prick people could easily be making the choice based on other factors. Even a quick goggle search shows multiple sites and even reddit threads where Hufflepuff/Slytherin are considered the best to choose.
My thoughts exactly. The first playthrough, people will play based off their house or whatever they get sorted into in the game. But then we all wanna play the bad guy the second time around. Then there's the trophie collects like me who played all four houses up to the Map Chamber.
Back when the online Pottermore site existed (and it might still exist. The site was initially a sort of interactive experience for the books...and then they turned it into a gross, glorified wiki for the movies), I was sorted into Ravenclaw. I honestly expected to be sorted into Hufflepuff, lol. I think I would be a Ravenclaw who is locked out of the common room and needs someone smarter than me to get the daily riddle 😂. However, on a second profile, I answered the questionnaire in such a way that I knew it would land me in Slytherin and I was right. But I felt dirty and like a fake, so I barely used that account 😅. But wanting to play as the "bad guy" is quite normal with games, I figured.
@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley Pottermore still has the house sort (also a Ravenclaw!), and you can do a quiz for your patronus. 100%. If you can be a bad guy/anti-hero 99% of players will do it.
I didn’t get past the green zone in sonic. Got the game for a shot of nostalgia…. Once I booted it up though I found the gameplay that I “remembered” wasn’t the the gameplay on offer. Not that true devs did anything wrong… they ported the game well. It’s just what passed for tight controls and blazing speed in the 90s felt clunky by modern standards.
I always like taking a quick deeks at From trophy lists. There's always a chunk of players that bounce off hard, but a lot of people who stick with it, stick with it to the end. It also seems like the playerbase is fairly active. Playing DS3 now, there are still plenty of phantoms around. Though I suspect the Multiplayer aspects are harder to access than they were in 2016/2017. I don't play with them too often, but I do get invaded occasionally, and had a player for my Halflight bossfight in the final DLC..
I love watching as I beat bosses how many players got each achievement. 49.4% beat this boss, but only 39% beat the next one? Oooh! It's especially fun once you're pretty far into the game, so the remaining players are likely pretty committed. What happened to that 5%?
I think that the movies gave a bad rep to Slytherin as they painted it as just the place where bullies and general d-heads were shoved into, but the movies cut a lot of stuff, some being pretty important.
In my opinion p5 royals platinum stat is more due to the fact that royal is far easier to platinum. Theres only really one or two really hard trophies in royal. The rest are just time consuming or you just have to know how to get them.
The Fallout 4 stat I think is because of MS Rewards. I vaguely recall there being a quest to get one Fallout 4 achievement for a bunch of points, which I'm fairly sure I got before I Ieft the vault. I've since left the vault so I'm not one of them.
I worked in a second hand shop for electronics and other media and I'm sure that people like me are responsible for these percentages, to some degree, too because of quick tests if the game actually works. I Personally testet around a dozen of minecraft games, on multiple consoles, and never opened a menu once.
Unlikely. The achievements from which this video got its statistics are tied to your personal online account, and people such as yourself likely make an insignificant percentage of the overall gaming population. Just launching a game on a console that isn’t tied to an online account doesn’t register in these stats.
Someone "being" Slytherin is the Harry Potter equivalent of being vegan/into crossfit. You don't have to ask someone if they are, they'll tell you within 5 minutes of meeting them.
The way I see the Hogwarts one: If you're a fan of Harry Potter (the character) and Dumbledore, then you like Gryffindor. If you're a fan of the stories and their world, despite JK's nonsense, you're probably a Ravenclaw. If you just like the idea of chilling in that world, eating the strange candies, and enjoying some butterbeer, you're likely a Hufflepuff. So, for those that get really into the whole power fantasy of having all the magical power at their fingertips (or wand tip), it's like the Hat told Harry in the books, "you can do great things in Slytherin."
I'm one of those Hunt: Showdown people. I got the game in early access before I knew much of anything about it. I played one or two games and realized it was a hyper competitive game in the CSGO/Valorant mode, with tons of downtime after quick deaths. Respect to those who dig that style, but it's not my idea of fun. I am a little bummed that the marketing and online chatter around the initial early access release made me think the game was something that it wasn't. I thought I was buying something like an Overwatch, where there's still some fun to be had if you don't really care about intense competition. Maybe even something with a 1-player campaign.
Pretty sure one of the main reasons people go into Slytherin in the Hogwarts game is probably two particular characters who are quite popular with female players. Plus, I've seen quite a few players who like becoming Dark Wizards. Also helps that you learn the curses faster in Slytherin.
I started in Slytherin in Legacy, but had to start over when I encountered a game-ending bug that stopped all movement on trying to leave the common room for the first time, going for Ravenclaw the second time.
Most of these are just chalked up to backlog, and a tight release window of some fantastic games, I know I have some I haven't even beat, because I jumped ship to another title I was looking forward too, and then 10 releases later, I don't know when I'll be able to finish it, or restart, if I barely remember the story
5:19 This speaks to the all-ages appeal to the game. With the items available on the item bar, kids who don’t want to or don’t know to use the inventory can still have fun.
I have tons of games I never finished. And many I've barely started. I only have two Platinums (Omega Force and Ratchet & Clank 2). Off the top of my head, the only games I clocked in the last ten years were Borderlands, Resident Evil Revelations 2, Skyrim, and some Ratchet games. I made it out of the vault in Fallout 3, but got killed by the first enemy (a rat or dog) and quit. I downloaded God Of War but never played it. In Hogwarts, I have a Ravenclaw (to do the good choices), and a Slytherin (to see how evil you can be). So far it hasn't made much difference.
An interesting stat you could have included: in GT7 and Forza Motorsport, only around 12% of players have tried an online race, which is low as both racers are geared towards online.
Hunt: Showdown is an easy game to get turned off by early. It seems pretty basic and easy to get into (get in match, find a bounty, kill it, extract) but has a lot of deep information systems (pretty much all the audio ques in game for example) that experienced players can utilize to take advantage of unexperienced players. So it's easy to see why someone would quit after a game or two of getting stomped.
You've got to remember though that a lot of people buy these games with the intention of playing them later, so they logon just to see how it looks and then put it on the pile of other backlog games they have to play. Come on, we've all done it at least once
When it comes to these kinds of games, I always like to start off by looking at the most basic achievement, like completing the tutorial. Seeing the completion rate on that tells you how many people actually played the game rather than abandoning it immediately (or disabling achievements with mods). Personally, I enjoy Bethesda games, but I don't recommend playing them without mods. You at least need the Unofficial Patch, since BGS doesn't like to fix their own bugs.
one possible reason for the minecraft one is second (or third) accounts used to get things like timelapses, alternative viewpoints, etc. they are essentially camera men and not proper players, but still need an account
I missed out on a lot of achievements in Warframe because some early version of Steam Proton were hit-and-miss on passing game events back out to the Linux Steam client.
Just remember that Slytherin house had an extra side missions that no other house had for the first 6 months of the game. Ppl were picking Slytherin house simply because of that
In order to get achievements in Minecraft, you have to be in survival with cheats disabled. A lot of people turn cheats on to avoid losing items on death
OK I had to add my 2 cents to the sonic thing. I beat this game so many times on the Sega Saturn. The reason why I just couldn’t get myself to go past the 2nd zone is because it didn’t transfer over to the Xbox correctly, for example, sonic couldn’t jump as high so I couldn’t get the secret island. I don’t know if that’s ever been fixed but that’s why I never went and continued it.
Fallout 76 on Steam, a high number of players haven't completed the achievement "Reclamation Day," which is it's leaving the vault achievement. Not because they haven't actually left the vault, but because the game originally launched on Bethesda's own launcher and eventually migrated to Steam when their launcher was discontinued but they didn't transfer achievements over. I had to create a second character to get a bunch of achievements.
Stardew Valley on Steam: Almost 38% did not get Greenhorn (earn 15k). Then again, Stardew is another game with a huge modding community, so that's a likely explanation for the high percentage.
So I’ve always been curious about this, when you look at the achievements/trophy screen, and it says the certain percentage of players. Does it refer to the player base that owns the game or the player base on their platform whether they own it or not?
It is people who own and have played (ie; booted) the game. I have seen a lot of games have their trophy completion percentage fall following the game comes to Gamepass/ Playstation Plus where because the game is suddenly free to a whole bunch of new people they download the game, play it for 5 minutes and never play it again. Percentage of people on the platform would be a useless stat since the vast majority of people on a platform never play a game. The PS4 has over 100 million consoles sold. Even the top selling games on the platform only sell 20 million units (Spiderman, God of War) and it falls off hard after that (Uncharted 4, 16 mil, Witcher 3 10 mil and Ghost of Tsushima, 10 mil). If they did it by all platform owners then the highest possible completion percentage would be less than 20%. A game that sells 1 million units would never be able to have a trophy completion percentage higher than 1% even if everybody who bought the game got the platinum trophy.
Re: Harry Potter Houses. 1) If I were going to be good, I'd play Ravenclaw. F basics who play Gryffyndor because of the books. Ravenclaw is where I belong. If I were going to play evil, there's really only one house to play, and that's Slytheryn. I mean, i could try to play an evil Hufflepuff just for the dissonance, but I don't think I'd feel like I really belonged. 2) I haven't played the game myself yet, but I keep hearing Slytheryn has the best quests and the best quest options. So that's going to drive more people into the house just to experience some good plotlines.
I got the Platinum for Persona 5 and i will be getting it again for Royal. I love that game more than i ever thought I would. It's my stress reliever at this point. I still cant believe how many hours I've put into it
As someone who has the Platinum in P5R, that game is actually a quite easy one to do it, as there aren't too many difficult trophies to get. The in-game achievements, on the other end...
Batman: Arkham Knight also has an achievement for completing the first fight (actually for calling in the Batmobile, which happens right after the fight). Last I checked it was somewhere around 70%.
One of the things I did on my second PT was choose Hufflepuff the reason being is we get almost no Hufflepuff characters in HP book series (Cedric Diggory and I believe Ernie Macmillian are the only Hufflepuff mentioned) and wanted to do a unique run through.
While Halo Infinite is debatable for some on how good/bad it is (I liked it enough)...it shocked me the other day to find out the game has been out for 2 years now and less than 10% of players have actually beat the game. I want to say that just completing the campaign only has like a 9.27% completion rate or something like that. Pretty much 95% of the campaign centered achievements, at the least, are all "rare" achievements meaning that less than 10% of players got them. Which...is kinda surprising since it felt that the campaign for Infinite was actually a step up from Guardians. And while there were a few small gripes I could make about Infinite's campaign...none of them were major enough that it prevented me from at least finishing it.
Not sure if PS has something similar, but Microsoft Rewards on Xbox used to have a weekly challenge to play a specific game. The reward would pop just for starting it up, which could lead to games having a high number of people whip haven't gotten the first achievement
The number of games I’ve managed to Platinum is actually not that bad. If I manage to get a good chunk of the other trophies as I run through the game, I tend to try and go for the Platinum as well. My current number is 11 or 12 depending on if you count Ghost of Tsushima on PS4 and PS5 as one game or two xD
I'm in my late 40s now. I think at best I have three platinum trophies. I just completed the new Robo cop game and one trophy away from platinum and it's a collection one that I know we're it is but I can't be bothered to collect it just to get a trophy. I have thousands of game's that I have completed and never worried about trophies they are meaningless.
I feel you've missed where some factors in gameplay prevent achievement trophies where not beating a prologue does not equal not completing the game.. Such as using console cheats, or skipping a key sequence.
I know everyone hates Fortnite but the achievments only come from the sub-mode "save the world" ( or the original Fortnite ) and you can see how many players bought the sub-mode by looking at the first trophy.
It's fairly easy for a polarising game like the TLoU 2 to have a higher completion stat, since most people who wouldn't have completed it never even bought it in the first place, thus the % for completion is "artificially" raised. For example, according to PSN Profiles, more than twice the amount of people own Marvel's Spider-Man as compared to TLoU 2, and has an equal % of completion for both games, so obviously a great deal more people completed Spider-Man as compared to The Last of Us 2. Hell, equal %s of people who completed the base story of TLoU 2 also completed completely optional side objectives in SM, meaning a great deal more people found it more fun to play the repetitive and grindy mini-games than even bother playing TLoU 2.
I also think there is a fair amount of people who got frustrated with the story's BS about "revenge bad". While this is just a personal anecdote, I know at least 3 people who stopped playing once they reached the part where the player (as Abby) has to fight Ellie. They chose to get Abby killed, which lead to a Game Over and then uninstalled the game. True Ending achieved right there lmao.
@Windmelodie Oh definitely, but those people count towards the % of people who didn't complete the game. I was just giving an example of why the % is so high for those who did complete it, by giving a valid reason as to why people wouldn't buy it at all, thus not count towards the % total
How about the fact that 8% of Subnautica players have not unlocked "Getting Your Feet Wet." Literally all you have to do is dive in the water. Which is the 3rd thing the player does after the opening cutscene. 1. Put out the fire in your escape pod 2. Climb the ladder out of your escape pod 3. Dive in the water So this assumes 8% of players just watched the opening cutscene then quit the game. Or they died in the fire then quit the game. Or they climbed the ladder, saw the vast expanse of ocean (which is supposed to inspire awe and exploration), then quit the game.
I played Sonic Advance on my Gameboy as a child and the only time I got to play any of the levels after Greenhill was to play on my older sister's Gameboy 😂 also do you all remember the Tiny Choa mini game thing that was like having a tamagochi? Loved that game ❤
Yeah, everyone seemed to be saying how great Sea of Stars is, and it's on Game Pass so I decided to give it a go. I'm not finished yet, but only 9% of players have got as far as me in the game!
Hunt at first is terrifying since sound is such a key future in game. So in the beginning it's borderline horror knowing as any second you can die. Also everyone panics hard the first time they get shot at. So that's probably a good chunk of the new players
About 95% of the time when playing Minecraft...I accidentally open my inventory even though I didn't mean to open it...BUT then also it actually does take me hours in the game until I actually do anything with my inventory anyways. Elden ring is not the easiest fromsoftware game out there! Multiple tines I have reach close to the end but of course...never have finished it, usually stop at the fire giant or right after the fire giant
Slytherin being the most popular isn't as weird as it seems. Gryfindor is kind of the basic house due to the books but it's basically just the more courageous less hardworking Hufflepuff. If you know anything about the story then it technically wasn't even Harry's house. It was by choice but that was basically just peer pressure. His son even accepts his placement into slytherin. Also of the three houses Gryfindor is the most explored, there is not much new to learn compared to the other three houses and not many people really vibe with ravenclaw or hufflepuff.
regarding Sonic... I don't think I have ever done it? And I beat Sonic dozens of times as a kid. I bought Sonic when it was cheap, because nostalgia. And I DID load it up. But I think I bailed out at Green Hill Zone 1-2. I wonder if a bunch of others had similar situations.
Ah, I see I have many kindred spirits out there who will buy a game, boot it up once just to make sure it installed properly, then leave it to languish in an ever increasing backlog of games of which I have no hope of ever making a significant dent in it.
One of the problems with Fallout 4 is once you enable the mods, even additional levels, prevents trophies from coming up in the game. It appears also to be a known bug in the game, as periodically you will earn a trophy, but most of the time even on a un-modded save, ypu don’t tend to get trophies!
There is a mod that re-enables them on the nexus but most people don't bother because unlocking trophies or whatever doesn't do anything and nobody actually cares about them anyways. Hell, I've has Skyrim since 11/11/2011 and only have like 5 achievements for it.
I know folks who get games with no internet. They'll go to a friend's house and get updates and play their games offline. Some games can be played that way
I think I am one of the Hunt players who never killed anyone. A friend made me buy it, I thought it was also single player, I played one or two games with friends and never killed anyone, and a few games where I got annihilated immediately and quit. Seems like one of these games with a steep learning curve. And I don't have time for that.
I'm not surprised that TLOU2 has such a high completion rate, that game is a damn masterpiece. If you ignore the (somewhat overly) vocal haters (whose arguments tend to concentrate on being homo and transphobic, along with some good old fashioned misogyny thrown in) there's nothing but greatness surrounding the game's world and storytelling.
A very large number of people who grew up with HP didn't play that game for a particular reason. A very large number of people who ordinarily would have likely not bothered with the game DID play the game for the same reason. And I bet those people disproportionately picked slytherin for 'role-play reasons'. I think it would have been close regardless of the controversy, though.
To get the platinum in Until Dawn you have to get a bunch of different endings, and all of those little pieces of that long video you have to collect, and in order to get all that you have to play through it 5 or 6 times at least. Each decision you make sends you down a certain path where you find those pieces, but you have to play it so many times to get sent down all the paths of the storyline to find another piece. That's very time consuming and not actually worth it.
Hogwarts legacy - iirc you get the different house achievements/trophies for reaching the map chamber as a student from each of the houses. Those take about 4-6 hours EACH. You don't get them for just choosing your house.
I'm not a FIFA player but that trophy does make sense to me. A lot of people are probably buying it exclusively to play as their favorite team/player or care only about multiplayer or something. I don't know what it requires to count as 'womens soccer', but if we just assume that even a single male player would disqualify it (not unreasonable) then someone who, I dunno, bought the game just to play as whatever their local soccer team is, but with Lionel Messi (the only soccer player I even know) would fail the achievement. I think it's stupid that they wouldn't put in the little amount of effort to get it, but I can at least understand why... I think.
I'm surprised you guys didn't mention the mod component when it came to Fallout. I don't know anybody that boots up a Bethesda game and start a new playthrough without installing a few mods first, which naturally disables trophies. I've played through Skyrim like three times already for example, but I only have like three achievements because I mod them at the start of every playthrough.
@@chriscollins550The mods for Bethesda games are usually increasing the immersion, like better graphics, more quests etc. In many cases mods are required to patch notorious bugs. I'm quite sure that Bethesda is counting for the modders to expand their RPGs, since the vanilla versions are usually lackluster.
Persona 5 was a very easy platinum. Little grinding and no difficulty requirements so it's actually achievable in a couple playthroughs or about 100 hours. Gears of War for example can take thousands of hours to unlock 1 achievement
Only reason I don't have a Platinum for vanilla P5 is the hostage situation, which never happened in 2 playthroughs, or the voice line ones from Futaba. Missing just The Reaper for Royal. Only missing Bond level 99 for Strikers, and currently finishing the Compendiem in Tatica, which I'm hoping I'll hit the 500 turn one while doing so.
Just FYI, the reason so many people don't have the achievement for leaving the vault in Fallout 4 is because running mods disables achievements, so they're probably people who never played without mods installed.
That's why I use the mod that enables achievements again. 😄But that is a fair point. I never play any Bethesda game without mods, yet they always want to disable achievements for doing so.
doesn't mean anything about trophies, or any console players though
@@Insanemonk11xbox has mods and ps has mods as well and in with spotastic i always run modded bethesda games especially after finding sim settlements for fallout 4

@ashwean Thanks. I've been working through New Vegas, but was planning on going back to Fallout 4 afterwards.
On the Slytherin thing, based mainly on my brother’s choice and a tiny bit of my own opinion, it’s because Slytherin has neat colors and the absolute coolest common house. Nothing to do with mischief, they just want the underwater lake dorm and green clothes.
Beat me to it. I could go on and on about individual interpretations of what Slytherin "truly" stands for and how they're not actually fundamentally evil and such at all, but you don't even have to go that far. Slytherin green looks sooooo much better than Gryffindor colors. For some, (and that includes me,) that alone is enough to make the decision already. I just REALLY don't like Gryffindor colors. And Hufflepuff colors are even worse!
That's why I picked it, because of the colors lol
I think another significant factor to consider is that people doing a "good guy" play through will be split up between 3 houses, while pretty much anyone doing a "bad guy" play through will choose Slytherin.
It didn't help that jkr herself misrepresented the houses always. Specially since hermine is ravenclaw and dracos dense lackeys are, surprisingly, griffendor. And even then the houses overlap with each other using synonyms regardless
Another thing is that the main story is closely related to the Slytherin house and one of the best side quests comes from a Slytherin. I think people may also make one for an evil/bad guy playthrough (I created a Mean Girl alt for example).
Having watched a lot of young'uns play Green Hill Zone in Sonic over the last few years; I can tell you that it's because they cannot manage the spin dash & the concept of momentum. The first time that they come to a quarter circle to get up, they simply cannot work it out. Nor do they understand the concept of sometimes needing a run up.
Oh I know! My daughter is 11 and a few months ago was excited to see that I had the OG Sonic games on a Sega collection. And she couldn't understand how the spin dash worked at ALL... No matter how many times I explained how and why to do it. Saddened me a bit
Sonic 1 didn't have the spindash. That was introduced in Sonic 2.
@@MrStrikecentral The remakes have it in Sonic 1 too.
Seeing my nephew play a few games, kids don't seem to like to experiment with controls anymore or explore.
@@mikaruyami I played Sonic 1 and 2 on my Genesis as a teenage kid back when they were freshly released and even I never finished either of them. Got to the level where it flooded a few times occasionally but never got past it. Never finished Battletoads, Altered Beast, Zombies ate my Neighbors, Mega Turrican, Exodus, Sonic Spinball, Earthworm Jim, NBA Jam, Golden Axe, Mortal Kombat 2, etc (off the top of my head) either.
The only titles I remember actually finishing were the easier beat em' up's like Streets of Rage, and the Power Rangers movie game, oh and the Ninja Turtles Hyperstone Heist game.
I might have finished others but I can't remember, I had more games than that but just can't remember them all as it's been too long.
I played these titles from the age of 14 in 1990 through like 19 in 1995 when my dad bought me a Playstation for Christmas.
Guess I've just never been very good at video games in all honesty. I still suck at them these days.
There are achievements for just starting certain games. As in, literally installing them and actually running them. Achievements that are super early in any game are really statistics of people who bought the game and never bothered to install/run the game. So you have to take final boss completion percentages and subtract the first achievement percentage difference to 100% to get the true game completion rate.
The Slytherin trophy might be explained by the fact that "good" playthroughs have 3 choices and the "evil" one has one (Slytherin). Moreover, I'd imagine that since the majority joined any of the 3 good schools, on a 2nd playthrough many players might want a totally different experience, opting for Slytherin.
I know nothing of harry potter never liked but i know that the green snake pure blood Na** wizard is the only house with a identity
Something to consider. A lot of people use mods which disable achievements most the time.
That makes sense for games like Fallout 4, which have mods available right on the main menu
That's one thing I hate about Fallout 4/Skyrim. Even if you add something as simple as a graphic enhancing mod or maybe a stability mod to make the game run a little more smoothly, it disables the achievements for that save file.
But not on consoles
@@JustaGuy2.0 there are mods on console for most recent Bethesda games including Skyrim and Fallout 4.
That’s what I think is the issue with fallout four
For any achievements that track the percentage of people who get past the early/first level, I'm one of those responsible for it being so low. I buy games often when they're on sale and I always "test" them for a few minutes once they're installed (if you're as old school as I am, you know the problems of buying game CDs that don't work lol). However, I don't always get to play those games until a few years later because of my backlog. My understanding is that once you run the game, you're part of the pool of total number of players being tracked for achievement completion? So yeah, guilty as charged. 😅😅
This is literally me on steam😂
Very good point. I was looking for a comment like yours.
When I got to this entry of the list, I thought right away: "Wait a minute! The fact that the player hasn't gotten past the first level *yet* does not mean that they don't plan to - eventually."
That was my thinking. What happens if you drop players with < 2 hours of play time?
I do this but its me realising that I'm either not in the mood now or I know that at a later time the game will be the best thing I need.
God of War and Ghosts of Tsushima were both the latter for me. One I was looking for a cheesy high fantasy type of game and tried God of War and realised within 5 minutes it wasn't for me. But I love vikings and I knew I'd eventually be in a viking mood at some point and will really appreciate its way of story telling then. (PS I then played FFXII and it was the exact thing I needed at that time).
I think there's a game on steam where one of the achievements is literally starting the game
It didn't have 100% on it
As far as Slytherin being more popular than Gryfindor, it isn't that players generally choose the upright and good choices, but that the 'evil' choices are usually framed as just being a puppy-kicking jerk.
And people think it’s cool to be in Slytherin
I don't have stats to back it up but I think a lot of people chose their house specifically because of the aesthetic of the common room. We've all seen the Gryffindor common room throughout the entirety of the main series so now (at least personally) I'm going to choose a common room that I think is the coolest, in my case Hufflepuff but let's face it, Slytherin's common room is friggin cool
I'm a long term dnd player and the problem of cartoonish evil is omnipresent. There is just as much evil in the world as there is good, but it's smart enough(most of the time) to realize that being loud leads to death.
a better explanation is people did 1 good playthroygh as 1 of the other houses and an evil playthrough as slytherin. @@jypsridic
Thing with FIFA is that it's important to remember that it essentially plays off a tribalistic bias in the player base - i.e. a team we support in real life, so it's not exactly uncommon that the percentage of players playing a womens international match will be low. Most of us don't have an emotional investment in the womens game, we're not really super aware of the womens game in general, so less likely to pick it as a secondary option. At the risk of sounding slightly Joey Barton, I'm actually surprised it's as high as it is, given that even with the girls playing the game the reality is if you asked them the overwhelming majority will support a mens team, I'm all for the ladies being in the game, but it doesn't mean I'm going to randomly pick one to play unless I'm specifically out to pop that achievement. (Incidentally, making it an achievement actually degrades the figure as many will have popped it purely for the achievement rather than any natural desire to play a women's international)
Also USA Champion women team being defeated by kids once and then later by retired men shows us why no one cares about woman sports.
@@MPKLBN-t6v this simply shows the biological difference in both sexes where man by natural design are build with more muscles making them faster, stronger etc.
Woman sports are not as brutal as their male counterpart hence it makes for a less thrilling watch experience. It has nothing to do with their capability of playing their respective sports.
@@zirilan3398 You literally contradict yourself in two sentences.
I have to admit I myself have never played as a woman's team on FIFA, I didn't know it was an option. I feel kind of bad. But to be fair I like 3 hours in the game because I got it because my friends who are very into soccer told me to get it
You could have just said " nobody cares about womens soccer" You're only gonna potentially hurt like .00001 percent of peoples feelings.
The fallout one can be explained that they installed mods thereby making it so that they couldn't gain achievements.
The people who use mods isn't that high tho.
playstation doesnt have mods. this is a playstation video, in case you missed that on the several occasions it was mentioned.
Except apparently me with Skyrim on Steam.
@@DanCantStandYA Bethesda had some mods for PS and Xbox, not many and not great ones but they are there. You're right though that the playstation doesn't have overall mod support though.
and the mods that Bethesda themselves added, weren't added until much later.
As someone who takes prolonged breaks from games, I'd say most players who haven't completed a "short" game may either be taking their time finishing them, or got caught up in side content, which tends to make these games way longer, especially if you do all new unlocked side content before continuing the story.
That's my current issue with No Mans Sky running around getting slot instead of doing the main story mission
also getting a little ADD with an ever increasing backlog ( guilty ) or just bored of grinding ( in an RPG most likely ) ...
I remember playing a game on my steam account, but played some of it on my laptop without internet connection. Beating a boss on the road and continuing the game to the end back at home, I realized that I was missing that boss achievement. Being a mid game boss, I wasn’t going to play it again to get that one achievement.
That's bad game design on the developers part. On Steam, a game can check to see which of it's achievements have been awarded and if one that should have been isn't showing up, can resend the achievement to Steam. Or, it can be lazy and just re-award all earned achievements anytime the game is played as you'll only see the achievement popup from Steam if one of them hadn't previously been recorded on their end.
@@JMcMillenno adult cares about achievements, so it would be a waste of resources.
I was a little worried about that with the Steam Deck, since I’d noticed this issue of Steam achievements popping without internet before during a power outage; thankfully in my case it was just the FF9 ones for calling each summon, no big deal. Supposedly the Deck at least checks for that, syncing and awarding your achievements once you get internet again, but f$&@ if I’m gonna be the one to test that.

The Slytherin statistic didn't come as a suprise. There's a couple of generic Harry Potter tat shops in York and I asked the staff in one of them which house they shift the most gear for and they said it was Slytherin by a wide margin.
To be fair Hunt Showdown's primary objective is NOT killing other players but, to find and kill the boss enemies, take their trophy and escape the map.
Add on the fact that character leveling progression comes to a screeching halt if you die as death is permanant for your hunters.
I think another FromSoft game worth commenting on is Bloodborne. I think like half the players didn't get past the first mandatory boss, Father Gascoigne, while about a quarter of players defeated Mergo's Wet Nurse, the last required boss for the game. All things considered, that's a remarkable retention rate after the first boss
I think one of the most interesting trophy facts about Bloodborne is that the hardest to get ending has the highest completion percentage.
@@HC_Constance the thing that amazes me about Bloodborne is that a game considered to be hard has quite a quick platinum.
That is probably because Bloodborne is on PS plus, so lots of players got the game fought the cleric beast because they didn't know they didn't have to fight him at that point, died a few times, then quit
I think it's a running theme with From games and Soulslikes in general - that adrenaline hit of beating the first mandatory boss is enough to make things click. A personal example is the first proper boss in Nioh, I struggled so much with Onryoki to the point of quitting when I first picked it up, saw a video with someone saying treat Nioh like a Diablo game not a Soulslike, went back, farmed up a bit of gear and wiped the floor with the big lad and I was hooked.
But it was also released at a time that the Dark Souls formula was just starting to become popular. There would have been a ton of people completely unaware and incapable of that difficulty at the time
I only played GOW because it was on PS Plus and I was addicted to that game, couldn't look away and did everything I could, same with the second game
that sonic one makes complete sense. I remember notnknowing about sonic games, giving it a try and immediately regretting it because of the lack of view. now I understand it's more of a memory and reaction speed run type game which is fine in itself but it didn't suit what I wanted and it was a mistake to purchase it. I'd imagine that many people felt the same way
Always love seeing Hunt getting some time in the spotlight. Such a great and unique game, been playing since the beta.
Hunt is my favorite game to play now, it’s so good. I hope more folks pick it up.
But she's wrong in that the objective is to kill other players. That's only true for the battle royale mode. The game's true objective is to kill the boss monster(s) and escape with the bounty.
@@AdderTude Agreed. It's a clever concept, unfortunately going against other players requires a lot of skill, and new players will lose to experienced, that's why a lot of players will not advance much.

@@roxaskinghearts Is that wall of text and bad grammar supposed to have a meaning buried in it somewhere?
@@roxaskinghearts That's wrong. It doesn't count games sold, it counts player accounts that started the game.
@@AusSP umm except the games sold to walmart are already classified as sold by that very metric nothing you stated contradicted the point just that you have opinions and no one values those
Slytherin being the most popular makes sense. Myself, and a few others a know, played in our sorted house then played another play trough as a slytherin (I chose to not learn the curses as a hufflepuff and learned them all as a slytherin)
Saddest thing is looking at trophies and achievements and realizing the reality that most games are only even beaten by 30%-10% of players who play them.
I'm a fan of open world games and often abandon the main quest as soon as possible.
The few games I do complete tend to be games where I feel I've explored everything there is to explore, quested as many quests as I can find, and looted everything not nailed down first.
There's a few exceptions where the world opens up as you complete the story meaning the story progression is required to continue exploring, but those aren't the majority of games.
Also I think maybe you should look at how many people played the story at all, a lot of games people play purely for the multiplayer and never completed the first mission of the story mode.

True. Cursed Child did a lot for Slytherin and so did Snape in the end but a lot of fans don't count it as canon.
I picked it because the hat chose it and I decided to roll with it.
I only chose Slytherin because I thought that's the only way to use the deadly curses lololol
The slytherin thing is probably because people were hoping for special quests for the chamber of secrets or curses.
I love hunt showdown, but I'm not surprised more people haven't killed another player. It's a game where everything thing can and will kill you before you even find your bounty, a single shot can kill you, and cover can be shot through. When your hunter dies you lose everything, so finding the bounty and quicky leaving before ever seeing another player is the way to go. Plus, the game has a serious cheating problem😢 which almost killed it. Even now, if you look at the top players, the numbers don't add up, showing that the top 20 have more kills than is possible in the number of matches played.
One thought is that those players that have made Gryffindor, HufflePuff, or Ravenclaw characters were more likely to try a Slytherin character on a second playthrough than they were one of the other houses.
Not to mention the story slightly changes based on which house and the location/design of the common room is different. Since being Slytherin doesn't mean you have to be a prick people could easily be making the choice based on other factors. Even a quick goggle search shows multiple sites and even reddit threads where Hufflepuff/Slytherin are considered the best to choose.
My thoughts exactly. The first playthrough, people will play based off their house or whatever they get sorted into in the game. But then we all wanna play the bad guy the second time around.
Then there's the trophie collects like me who played all four houses up to the Map Chamber.
Back when the online Pottermore site existed (and it might still exist. The site was initially a sort of interactive experience for the books...and then they turned it into a gross, glorified wiki for the movies), I was sorted into Ravenclaw. I honestly expected to be sorted into Hufflepuff, lol. I think I would be a Ravenclaw who is locked out of the common room and needs someone smarter than me to get the daily riddle 😂.
However, on a second profile, I answered the questionnaire in such a way that I knew it would land me in Slytherin and I was right. But I felt dirty and like a fake, so I barely used that account 😅. But wanting to play as the "bad guy" is quite normal with games, I figured.
@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley Pottermore still has the house sort (also a Ravenclaw!), and you can do a quiz for your patronus.
100%. If you can be a bad guy/anti-hero 99% of players will do it.
There’s no reason to do a second play through other than minor aesthetic changes and one single mission change.
I didn’t get past the green zone in sonic. Got the game for a shot of nostalgia…. Once I booted it up though I found the gameplay that I “remembered” wasn’t the the gameplay on offer. Not that true devs did anything wrong… they ported the game well. It’s just what passed for tight controls and blazing speed in the 90s felt clunky by modern standards.
I always like taking a quick deeks at From trophy lists. There's always a chunk of players that bounce off hard, but a lot of people who stick with it, stick with it to the end. It also seems like the playerbase is fairly active. Playing DS3 now, there are still plenty of phantoms around. Though I suspect the Multiplayer aspects are harder to access than they were in 2016/2017. I don't play with them too often, but I do get invaded occasionally, and had a player for my Halflight bossfight in the final DLC..
I love watching as I beat bosses how many players got each achievement. 49.4% beat this boss, but only 39% beat the next one? Oooh!
It's especially fun once you're pretty far into the game, so the remaining players are likely pretty committed. What happened to that 5%?
I think that the movies gave a bad rep to Slytherin as they painted it as just the place where bullies and general d-heads were shoved into, but the movies cut a lot of stuff, some being pretty important.
In my opinion p5 royals platinum stat is more due to the fact that royal is far easier to platinum. Theres only really one or two really hard trophies in royal. The rest are just time consuming or you just have to know how to get them.
Agreed
20% platinum-ing Persona 5 is impressive. I tried doing it and just couldn't get past the in-game video game mini-games (it was the fighting game).
I forgot what stat it is but with high social stats it makes the games easier
To be fair platinum is easier in royal vs the vanilla version
The Fallout 4 stat I think is because of MS Rewards. I vaguely recall there being a quest to get one Fallout 4 achievement for a bunch of points, which I'm fairly sure I got before I Ieft the vault. I've since left the vault so I'm not one of them.
Technically Slytherin was the most popular house in universe until Harry showed up
I worked in a second hand shop for electronics and other media and I'm sure that people like me are responsible for these percentages, to some degree, too because of quick tests if the game actually works.
I Personally testet around a dozen of minecraft games, on multiple consoles, and never opened a menu once.
Unlikely. The achievements from which this video got its statistics are tied to your personal online account, and people such as yourself likely make an insignificant percentage of the overall gaming population. Just launching a game on a console that isn’t tied to an online account doesn’t register in these stats.
@@happyspaceinvader508 I agree. There are also not that many people testing out games.
Someone "being" Slytherin is the Harry Potter equivalent of being vegan/into crossfit. You don't have to ask someone if they are, they'll tell you within 5 minutes of meeting them.
The way I see the Hogwarts one: If you're a fan of Harry Potter (the character) and Dumbledore, then you like Gryffindor. If you're a fan of the stories and their world, despite JK's nonsense, you're probably a Ravenclaw. If you just like the idea of chilling in that world, eating the strange candies, and enjoying some butterbeer, you're likely a Hufflepuff. So, for those that get really into the whole power fantasy of having all the magical power at their fingertips (or wand tip), it's like the Hat told Harry in the books, "you can do great things in Slytherin."
I'm one of those Hunt: Showdown people. I got the game in early access before I knew much of anything about it. I played one or two games and realized it was a hyper competitive game in the CSGO/Valorant mode, with tons of downtime after quick deaths. Respect to those who dig that style, but it's not my idea of fun.
I am a little bummed that the marketing and online chatter around the initial early access release made me think the game was something that it wasn't. I thought I was buying something like an Overwatch, where there's still some fun to be had if you don't really care about intense competition. Maybe even something with a 1-player campaign.
TLoU finish rate is probably so high because far fewer people bought it than the first one. And the pandemic kept those few inside. Pretty obvious
Pretty sure one of the main reasons people go into Slytherin in the Hogwarts game is probably two particular characters who are quite popular with female players. Plus, I've seen quite a few players who like becoming Dark Wizards. Also helps that you learn the curses faster in Slytherin.
I started in Slytherin in Legacy, but had to start over when I encountered a game-ending bug that stopped all movement on trying to leave the common room for the first time, going for Ravenclaw the second time.
Most of these are just chalked up to backlog, and a tight release window of some fantastic games, I know I have some I haven't even beat, because I jumped ship to another title I was looking forward too, and then 10 releases later, I don't know when I'll be able to finish it, or restart, if I barely remember the story
5:19 This speaks to the all-ages appeal to the game. With the items available on the item bar, kids who don’t want to or don’t know to use the inventory can still have fun.
I have tons of games I never finished. And many I've barely started. I only have two Platinums (Omega Force and Ratchet & Clank 2).
Off the top of my head, the only games I clocked in the last ten years were Borderlands, Resident Evil Revelations 2, Skyrim, and some Ratchet games.
I made it out of the vault in Fallout 3, but got killed by the first enemy (a rat or dog) and quit.
I downloaded God Of War but never played it.
In Hogwarts, I have a Ravenclaw (to do the good choices), and a Slytherin (to see how evil you can be).
So far it hasn't made much difference.
Most of these stats can be defined by one word: backlog. A lot of us buy games that we plan on playing later. Later never comes.
if you have never installed and started the game, you don't count in those stats.
@@mizrolist ok. Then some of these are really bad lol.
An interesting stat you could have included: in GT7 and Forza Motorsport, only around 12% of players have tried an online race, which is low as both racers are geared towards online.
About 3% of players on PS1 made it out of the main garage in Driver without cheating.
Then I must be one of the weirdos. I got sorted in the Ravenclaw. I always have and will be Ravenclaw.
Hunt: Showdown is an easy game to get turned off by early. It seems pretty basic and easy to get into (get in match, find a bounty, kill it, extract) but has a lot of deep information systems (pretty much all the audio ques in game for example) that experienced players can utilize to take advantage of unexperienced players. So it's easy to see why someone would quit after a game or two of getting stomped.

You've got to remember though that a lot of people buy these games with the intention of playing them later, so they logon just to see how it looks and then put it on the pile of other backlog games they have to play. Come on, we've all done it at least once
Slytherin being the most popular is what I expected, I didn't know there was anyone who thought Slytherin wasn't the most popular house.
When it comes to these kinds of games, I always like to start off by looking at the most basic achievement, like completing the tutorial. Seeing the completion rate on that tells you how many people actually played the game rather than abandoning it immediately (or disabling achievements with mods).
Personally, I enjoy Bethesda games, but I don't recommend playing them without mods. You at least need the Unofficial Patch, since BGS doesn't like to fix their own bugs.
one possible reason for the minecraft one is second (or third) accounts used to get things like timelapses, alternative viewpoints, etc. they are essentially camera men and not proper players, but still need an account
I still love the meme about the Fallout vault one. It has the angry skeleton with 12% of players “where the f*** is the exit?!?”
I missed out on a lot of achievements in Warframe because some early version of Steam Proton were hit-and-miss on passing game events back out to the Linux Steam client.
Just remember that Slytherin house had an extra side missions that no other house had for the first 6 months of the game. Ppl were picking Slytherin house simply because of that
In order to get achievements in Minecraft, you have to be in survival with cheats disabled. A lot of people turn cheats on to avoid losing items on death
OK I had to add my 2 cents to the sonic thing. I beat this game so many times on the Sega Saturn. The reason why I just couldn’t get myself to go past the 2nd zone is because it didn’t transfer over to the Xbox correctly, for example, sonic couldn’t jump as high so I couldn’t get the secret island. I don’t know if that’s ever been fixed but that’s why I never went and continued it.
I got the platinum for Elden Ring and have 3,848 hours in it too.
Fallout 76 on Steam, a high number of players haven't completed the achievement "Reclamation Day," which is it's leaving the vault achievement.
Not because they haven't actually left the vault, but because the game originally launched on Bethesda's own launcher and eventually migrated to Steam when their launcher was discontinued but they didn't transfer achievements over. I had to create a second character to get a bunch of achievements.
Isn’t it also due to the extremely high attrition rate of players shortly after Fallout ‘76’s launch? 🤔
Stardew Valley on Steam: Almost 38% did not get Greenhorn (earn 15k).
Then again, Stardew is another game with a huge modding community, so that's a likely explanation for the high percentage.
So I’ve always been curious about this, when you look at the achievements/trophy screen, and it says the certain percentage of players. Does it refer to the player base that owns the game or the player base on their platform whether they own it or not?
I highly doubt these companies are sharing player data with one another. Just like Steam only shows active players that play the game on Steam.
It is people who own and have played (ie; booted) the game.
I have seen a lot of games have their trophy completion percentage fall following the game comes to Gamepass/ Playstation Plus where because the game is suddenly free to a whole bunch of new people they download the game, play it for 5 minutes and never play it again.
Percentage of people on the platform would be a useless stat since the vast majority of people on a platform never play a game. The PS4 has over 100 million consoles sold. Even the top selling games on the platform only sell 20 million units (Spiderman, God of War) and it falls off hard after that (Uncharted 4, 16 mil, Witcher 3 10 mil and Ghost of Tsushima, 10 mil). If they did it by all platform owners then the highest possible completion percentage would be less than 20%. A game that sells 1 million units would never be able to have a trophy completion percentage higher than 1% even if everybody who bought the game got the platinum trophy.
I think you need to have run the game in order for the achievement stats to register.
Re: Harry Potter Houses.
1) If I were going to be good, I'd play Ravenclaw. F basics who play Gryffyndor because of the books. Ravenclaw is where I belong. If I were going to play evil, there's really only one house to play, and that's Slytheryn. I mean, i could try to play an evil Hufflepuff just for the dissonance, but I don't think I'd feel like I really belonged.
2) I haven't played the game myself yet, but I keep hearing Slytheryn has the best quests and the best quest options. So that's going to drive more people into the house just to experience some good plotlines.
I got the Platinum for Persona 5 and i will be getting it again for Royal. I love that game more than i ever thought I would. It's my stress reliever at this point. I still cant believe how many hours I've put into it
I also platinum Royal in fact my first persona game because the first translated in french
As someone who has the Platinum in P5R, that game is actually a quite easy one to do it, as there aren't too many difficult trophies to get. The in-game achievements, on the other end...
I don't think I even got up to the first fight in God of War, wasn't feeling it lol
Batman: Arkham Knight also has an achievement for completing the first fight (actually for calling in the Batmobile, which happens right after the fight). Last I checked it was somewhere around 70%.
One of the things I did on my second PT was choose Hufflepuff the reason being is we get almost no Hufflepuff characters in HP book series (Cedric Diggory and I believe Ernie Macmillian are the only Hufflepuff mentioned) and wanted to do a unique run through.
While Halo Infinite is debatable for some on how good/bad it is (I liked it enough)...it shocked me the other day to find out the game has been out for 2 years now and less than 10% of players have actually beat the game. I want to say that just completing the campaign only has like a 9.27% completion rate or something like that. Pretty much 95% of the campaign centered achievements, at the least, are all "rare" achievements meaning that less than 10% of players got them. Which...is kinda surprising since it felt that the campaign for Infinite was actually a step up from Guardians.
And while there were a few small gripes I could make about Infinite's campaign...none of them were major enough that it prevented me from at least finishing it.
Not sure if PS has something similar, but Microsoft Rewards on Xbox used to have a weekly challenge to play a specific game. The reward would pop just for starting it up, which could lead to games having a high number of people whip haven't gotten the first achievement
The number of games I’ve managed to Platinum is actually not that bad. If I manage to get a good chunk of the other trophies as I run through the game, I tend to try and go for the Platinum as well. My current number is 11 or 12 depending on if you count Ghost of Tsushima on PS4 and PS5 as one game or two xD
I feel that, I go for Platinums I either want to, enjoyed the game, or are close to, I'm at 25 rn and several close
As long as you have the Platinum, it counts lol
@@mdfkrz79 agreed it don't matter if it's a repeat still a platinum lol
I'm in my late 40s now. I think at best I have three platinum trophies. I just completed the new Robo cop game and one trophy away from platinum and it's a collection one that I know we're it is but I can't be bothered to collect it just to get a trophy. I have thousands of game's that I have completed and never worried about trophies they are meaningless.
I feel you've missed where some factors in gameplay prevent achievement trophies where not beating a prologue does not equal not completing the game.. Such as using console cheats, or skipping a key sequence.
I know everyone hates Fortnite but the achievments only come from the sub-mode "save the world" ( or the original Fortnite ) and you can see how many players bought the sub-mode by looking at the first trophy.
It's fairly easy for a polarising game like the TLoU 2 to have a higher completion stat, since most people who wouldn't have completed it never even bought it in the first place, thus the % for completion is "artificially" raised.
For example, according to PSN Profiles, more than twice the amount of people own Marvel's Spider-Man as compared to TLoU 2, and has an equal % of completion for both games, so obviously a great deal more people completed Spider-Man as compared to The Last of Us 2. Hell, equal %s of people who completed the base story of TLoU 2 also completed completely optional side objectives in SM, meaning a great deal more people found it more fun to play the repetitive and grindy mini-games than even bother playing TLoU 2.
I also think there is a fair amount of people who got frustrated with the story's BS about "revenge bad". While this is just a personal anecdote, I know at least 3 people who stopped playing once they reached the part where the player (as Abby) has to fight Ellie. They chose to get Abby killed, which lead to a Game Over and then uninstalled the game. True Ending achieved right there lmao.
@Windmelodie Oh definitely, but those people count towards the % of people who didn't complete the game. I was just giving an example of why the % is so high for those who did complete it, by giving a valid reason as to why people wouldn't buy it at all, thus not count towards the % total
How about the fact that 8% of Subnautica players have not unlocked "Getting Your Feet Wet." Literally all you have to do is dive in the water. Which is the 3rd thing the player does after the opening cutscene.
1. Put out the fire in your escape pod
2. Climb the ladder out of your escape pod
3. Dive in the water
So this assumes 8% of players just watched the opening cutscene then quit the game. Or they died in the fire then quit the game. Or they climbed the ladder, saw the vast expanse of ocean (which is supposed to inspire awe and exploration), then quit the game.
I played Sonic Advance on my Gameboy as a child and the only time I got to play any of the levels after Greenhill was to play on my older sister's Gameboy 😂 also do you all remember the Tiny Choa mini game thing that was like having a tamagochi? Loved that game ❤
Yeah, everyone seemed to be saying how great Sea of Stars is, and it's on Game Pass so I decided to give it a go. I'm not finished yet, but only 9% of players have got as far as me in the game!
Hunt at first is terrifying since sound is such a key future in game. So in the beginning it's borderline horror knowing as any second you can die.
Also everyone panics hard the first time they get shot at. So that's probably a good chunk of the new players
About 95% of the time when playing Minecraft...I accidentally open my inventory even though I didn't mean to open it...BUT then also it actually does take me hours in the game until I actually do anything with my inventory anyways.
Elden ring is not the easiest fromsoftware game out there! Multiple tines I have reach close to the end but of course...never have finished it, usually stop at the fire giant or right after the fire giant
Slytherin being the most popular isn't as weird as it seems. Gryfindor is kind of the basic house due to the books but it's basically just the more courageous less hardworking Hufflepuff. If you know anything about the story then it technically wasn't even Harry's house. It was by choice but that was basically just peer pressure. His son even accepts his placement into slytherin. Also of the three houses Gryfindor is the most explored, there is not much new to learn compared to the other three houses and not many people really vibe with ravenclaw or hufflepuff.
regarding Sonic... I don't think I have ever done it? And I beat Sonic dozens of times as a kid.
I bought Sonic when it was cheap, because nostalgia. And I DID load it up. But I think I bailed out at Green Hill Zone 1-2.
I wonder if a bunch of others had similar situations.
Ah, I see I have many kindred spirits out there who will buy a game, boot it up once just to make sure it installed properly, then leave it to languish in an ever increasing backlog of games of which I have no hope of ever making a significant dent in it.
One of the problems with Fallout 4 is once you enable the mods, even additional levels, prevents trophies from coming up in the game.
It appears also to be a known bug in the game, as periodically you will earn a trophy, but most of the time even on a un-modded save, ypu don’t tend to get trophies!
There is a mod that re-enables them on the nexus but most people don't bother because unlocking trophies or whatever doesn't do anything and nobody actually cares about them anyways. Hell, I've has Skyrim since 11/11/2011 and only have like 5 achievements for it.
I know folks who get games with no internet. They'll go to a friend's house and get updates and play their games offline. Some games can be played that way
I think I am one of the Hunt players who never killed anyone. A friend made me buy it, I thought it was also single player, I played one or two games with friends and never killed anyone, and a few games where I got annihilated immediately and quit. Seems like one of these games with a steep learning curve. And I don't have time for that.
People who didn't beat the first level of Sonic would never discover it's the only one where you go fast.
I'm not surprised that TLOU2 has such a high completion rate, that game is a damn masterpiece. If you ignore the (somewhat overly) vocal haters (whose arguments tend to concentrate on being homo and transphobic, along with some good old fashioned misogyny thrown in) there's nothing but greatness surrounding the game's world and storytelling.
A very large number of people who grew up with HP didn't play that game for a particular reason. A very large number of people who ordinarily would have likely not bothered with the game DID play the game for the same reason. And I bet those people disproportionately picked slytherin for 'role-play reasons'. I think it would have been close regardless of the controversy, though.
To get the platinum in Until Dawn you have to get a bunch of different endings, and all of those little pieces of that long video you have to collect, and in order to get all that you have to play through it 5 or 6 times at least. Each decision you make sends you down a certain path where you find those pieces, but you have to play it so many times to get sent down all the paths of the storyline to find another piece. That's very time consuming and not actually worth it.
Hogwarts legacy - iirc you get the different house achievements/trophies for reaching the map chamber as a student from each of the houses. Those take about 4-6 hours EACH. You don't get them for just choosing your house.
I’m genuinely surprised about the last of us part 2. I stopped playing pretty early on, even though I beat the first game
I'm not a FIFA player but that trophy does make sense to me. A lot of people are probably buying it exclusively to play as their favorite team/player or care only about multiplayer or something. I don't know what it requires to count as 'womens soccer', but if we just assume that even a single male player would disqualify it (not unreasonable) then someone who, I dunno, bought the game just to play as whatever their local soccer team is, but with Lionel Messi (the only soccer player I even know) would fail the achievement. I think it's stupid that they wouldn't put in the little amount of effort to get it, but I can at least understand why... I think.
Keep in mind also that the PS4 version of Fallout 4 had a launch bug that wouldn't transition to the surface that took a full month to fix. 10:47
I'm surprised you guys didn't mention the mod component when it came to Fallout. I don't know anybody that boots up a Bethesda game and start a new playthrough without installing a few mods first, which naturally disables trophies. I've played through Skyrim like three times already for example, but I only have like three achievements because I mod them at the start of every playthrough.
I never mod any game and never will. Even if it's in the game's menu. Basically cheating because you're not good enough.
@@chriscollins550The mods for Bethesda games are usually increasing the immersion, like better graphics, more quests etc. In many cases mods are required to patch notorious bugs. I'm quite sure that Bethesda is counting for the modders to expand their RPGs, since the vanilla versions are usually lackluster.
@@mizrolist then why buy them if they are boring without mods.
Persona 5 was a very easy platinum. Little grinding and no difficulty requirements so it's actually achievable in a couple playthroughs or about 100 hours. Gears of War for example can take thousands of hours to unlock 1 achievement
These stats are mostly indication of how many people buy a game and never play it or quit withing a short time frame.
Only reason I don't have a Platinum for vanilla P5 is the hostage situation, which never happened in 2 playthroughs, or the voice line ones from Futaba. Missing just The Reaper for Royal. Only missing Bond level 99 for Strikers, and currently finishing the Compendiem in Tatica, which I'm hoping I'll hit the 500 turn one while doing so.
I think so many more people beat The Last of Us Part 2 compared to other Sony games is that it’s much shorter than most other Sony games.
