6 hoursDepends on the game.
One thing I usually won’t do is reinstall a game to play content added later.
I rarely even finish the main part these days. There just aren’t that many games that can hold my attention for the time they take to beat. Especially since I just don’t have as much time, as I get older, so beating a big narrative game could take months.
Path of Exile runs credits at the end of act 3, but the whole campaign goes to act 10. And soon after that, you receive the quest line that leads to the game’s famously vast endgame. The endgame is what Path of Exile fans play for.
Depends on the game now, doesn’t it? I did 100 % of all content on Spider-Man. For some reason I didn’t finish Spider-Man: Miles Morales and I didn’t even start Spider-Man 2.
Hmm, maybe I should at least try Spider-Man 2. But I’d have to finish Miles Morales first to get the full story. Spider-Man 1 was so good, maybe I’ll play that again. Spider-Man

As somebody who enjoys all 3 games immensely, you don’t strictly have to play Miles Morales. You’ll be missing some of his character growth that continues throughout 2, but a lot of the broad strokes you can pick up from context.
That said, I highly recommend playing Miles Morales.

Seconded. You don’t need to have played Miles Morales at all, but I personally think it’s the best story of the three

I haven’t done 100% on any of those, I burned out on them around the 90% mark. All three games are great, you should play them.

Usually once I hit the end, I hold on to see if finishing the game opened up anything new to investigate.
Some games it’s hard to tell where “the end” is.
Borderlands 2 required finishing the story twice before you could BEGIN the end game.
As I get older, I care less about doing EVERYTHING.

It’s got to be one hell of a game for me to do it. Maybe one in 100 will I touch post game content and I don’t think I’ve finished any

Outer Wilds, for example, is a game you can only play once.
That has not stopped me from downloading a randomizer mod to squeeze more hours out of it.

Been sitting on this one for over a year. I really enjoyed Tunic, and it seems Outer Wilds is a similar experience, relying on the player not knowing what’s coming.

Still haven’t played this one through, just downloaded it for like the third time.
I don’t know why it hasn’t hooked me, it’s just the sort of game I should enjoy.

The solution to the puzzles are extremely clever and you’re given just enough hints to be able to solve them, but this game demands your attention and every bit of your concentration to be able to fit it all together. The payoff is massive though, the final 30-40 minutes is one of the most memorable and emotional moments I have ever had playing video games.
Friend of mine recommended it to me, and it was already on my radar as it did look very interesting. Bought it, played about an hour and proceeded to ask for a refund. It didn’t do it for me at all.
The funny thing is that on paper it should have been a slam dunk for me, but literally nothing in-game felt like I liked doing it. Weird.
Welp, not every game is for me, and in this case I know I’m a rare outlier. :P

Depends on the game, depends on the content.
For example, Skyrim, I could easily continue playing (or just ignore most of the main storyline).
Compared to something like Assassins Creed 1, where any “additional content” would be the most boring/repetitive task. I was done with this as soon as the credits rolled.

Does Skyrim even have an ending? Like, a roll credits and play music ending? (I’ve got ~10k hours in that game and I can’t say that I’ve ever “finished” it!)
i think it depends on the game, imo post-game stuff is especially cool in sandbox-y games where there’s many things to do, whereas games that are more linear don’t really need it
but what i hate more than anything is a game that won’t acknowledge you finished it. credits roll, you load your save and you’re back in front of the final boss. i hate that, it makes me feel like the game is in a perpetual state of never being completed. at least put a pretty medal on my save file or something

Completely agree. It’s a very immersion breaking move. Looking at you, Cyberpunk.

Currently playing Morrowind.
Had to even remind myself recently to do some main quest for a change.Completely and immersively lost myself in sidequests before. :-)
Sooo… post-game-content seems to be just game content here…
I treat postgame content the same as I treat new game+
It’s super unlikely I will look into it unless the game rocked my world.
Many games treat post game content as a grindfest for people who really liked the game but didn’t want it to end, I usually have no interest in it.
The last games I looked into both NG+ and post game content on was final fantasy XV and God of War (the ps4 one), and I didn’t finish it on either of them.

I remember a game called Outriders; it was a little bit of a generic RPG-shooter with abilities and a dismally apocalyptic world. I played through it, I enjoyed the campaign, but I was confused because many reviews were lamenting how “The postgame is terrible and it’s lacking content”. I didn’t really understand the point, since I just enjoyed the base elements.
I identify a bit more with Breath of the Wild’s lampshading of 100% completion, where they reward you for stumbling across a significant number of these things to find, but only hand you a golden turd for getting “ALL” of them.

Im one of those folks who tend to not finish games. I sorta actively avoid the ending if there is more side quests that I have not done and such.

Depends on the game. Often post-game there’s just a checklist of chores and I’m not doing that.
Always, always, always. Ever since beating my first game in ‘93, Kirby’s Adventure (NES), I’ve watched the full credits every time that I finish a game. It might be the only time that I ever see the developer’s and other miscellaneous team members’ names, and I want to know who they were, having just dedicated 30-1000+ hours to their labour of love.

I’m one to buy the version of the game with all of the DLC and never open it again after the credits roll.
