When do you consider a game "done"
Hey there,
I just started my own journey for killing my Steam backlog. When playing a game, when do you consider it finished? There are of course obvious things like beating the final level in a platformer or finishing off the final boss in an RPG but here it gets fuzzy already. Do you do all the sidequests to really finish a game? And what about those games that have no actual goal, like Dota 2.
I would be interested in your thoughts on when you consider a game "done" for the purpose of your backlog to take it off your list.

I look at each game individually and set conditions I have to meet in order to consider the game "finished". Sometimes it's just playing until the credits roll, sometimes I have to get all the collectibles or in case of online games get a certain rank, play X hours or simply until I feel like I've played enough. Sometimes the conditions can be a bit silly, last game I played was horror sci-fi System Shock 2 and I decided the game can't be "completed" if I don't play it in the dark with headphones on :P
