Depends really. If you beat the final boss of the game or what not, I say you beaten it. But like someone else said if you get 100% then I call it "mastered". Ive only gotten 100% on one game and thats Chrono Trigger. Because that game was the best game I probably have ever played and I couldnt stop playing back in 96. But for me to get 100% on any game I have to really,really,really love it.

To me, The difference is that by getting 100%, you get all of the required items, ect; & by doing everything possible, well, it varies; fighting every battle, getting EVERY item, seeing cutscenes in different ways, ect. lets just say that it's a step above 100%, or over as BarbieJenniGirl said.

So you're just saying is that getting 100% constitutes getting all of what the game measures (ie. levels passed in SMW) and doing everything possible includes being minutely obsessive (ie taking every path within the levels, including shortcuts and the long way)?

What about game without percentages, but with three difficulty settings (easy, normal, hard). Do you beat if you beat it on "Normal", or do you have to beat it on "Hard".

A perfect example......

100%-beat it on normal

EVERYTHING-beat it on easy, normal, ect,.

Of course you don't have to do everything(in this case, beat the game on hard if you beat it already,) but it would be a nice challenge, & a waste if you bought it & just beat it once(unless if you returned it or rented it).
