So, what kind of games did can you say you've mastered in your life, for me I don't even scratch 1% of games of all time sake. my backlog is Huge. on PS3 I beat and played every Call Of Duty Game on Vary Easy but never touched much on Advance Warfare and Black Ops series. I've beati all the Call Of Duty Games for PS2 and Gamecube many times over. But I can't say I mastered them though. I beaten a lot of PC games including Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, Mech Warrior 4 series, the vary first game I beat was Bill Elliot's NASCAR Challenge and Wolfenstein 3D shareware version. before beating the whole six episode version more recently
if you cannot think of anything else that just name the first video game you've ever beaten in your life or if you cannot remember what was your last winning achievement I only consider mastering a video game if your can learn to beat the game at all difficulty level :)

Getting a Platinum in God of War on PS3. Don't want to ever do that again.
Also, getting 100% in Okami.
-
I'll say the Mass Effect trilogy. Got every achievement for all 3 games. Other than that, I dunno, maybe the first Uncharted. Got the platinum for that one too back in the day.
-
Super Mario Sunshine- multiple 100%'s
Metal Slug 1- easy to 1cc on a reg basis
Assault/Assault Plus- pretty much memoed everything; got western records in both ( one is almost at WR level)
Fixeight- almost 2-ALL'd jap version
Pokemon Platinum- 100% back in the day

I'm proud of some of those platinums.

Most of us would be proud of those and your completion percentage. ;)
I'd throw in getting to end game in EverQuest back in the day. I remember that being such an accomplishment at the time. This was when EQ was in its first few expansions, and you had to bring in 4 full parties to attempt raids. Now you can dual box with NPC mercenaries and take down the gods.
Getting all of the endings for Chrono Trigger when I was 15.
I'm beginning to think I'm not very good at games, lol.

I think that's awesome you got all of the endings in Chrono Trigger. I never had the patience for that.

Love having achievements. Right now, I'm sitting at 96 completions on my Xbox profile. Some of those I have reasons to be proud of (Tales of Vesperia, Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate), others not so much (Megamind, Barbie Puppy Rescue). I seem to be stuck eternally at 59% completion ratio though.

As for the pre-achievement days, I'd consider my most notable accomplishments to be completing the pokedex in Pokemon Red, 100%ing Skies of Arcadia, and getting all trophies in Super Smash Bros. Melee. My first total 100% completion would be either Kirby's Dream Land 2, Super Mario Land 2, or Link's Awakening; I can't remember what was beaten first.

All you had to do was save it right before Lavos and fight with a different party. Right? That wouldn't take that long. Especially with the joys of New Game+

There were several areas in the game where you had to do certain events, make certain decisions, or take on the end boss very early. So where a NG+ was beneficial to the harder fights, you would have to make different saves. Some of them you could make a few key saves and branch out endings from there.

Not quite.
Basically, the game allows you to fight Lavos whenever, but you would get a different ending depending on how far into the story you are (with one ending requiring NG+ in the SNES/PS1 versions and 2 for the DS/Mobile versions).
So, to see all endings really doesn't take too much, just play through the game normally, then load up new game plus to blast through everything quickly, get to one of the checkpoints, kill Lavos, watch the ending, then open up the save back up and continue on to the next checkpoint.

Not many! I'd say I mastered Mario Kart 64 back in the day though, not in just game completion because that doesn't take long, but in that I could handily beat everyone I knew on 150cc.
I've gotten all the endings on Chrono Trigger and 100% completed the DS version, too, but really with RPGs it doesn't feel like a sense of "mastery" to me, just a practice in patience. The same could be said of most JRPGs I've played, I guess, except I missed some stuff in Xenoblade Chronicles even after putting a few hundred hours into my game. That one's rough, because if you miss just one quest in a couple spots you can't go back to it.

There have only been a handful of games that I have truly mastered. One that is close but not 100% is Quake 3, where I was not able to complete the single player on the hardest difficulty. Another I cannot say is Diablo II because I never had a end game Assassin build, and my other characters (such as the 2 frame Amazon and Druid) are good but missing that one piece makes the difference.
Asteroids on 2600 rolled the score counter.
Monopoly on Genesis won all modes.

Okay, well I guess since me getting all of the Chrono Trigger endings at 15 without a guide wasn't impressive. I did beat Dungeons & Dragons: Tower Of Doom on an arcade box with a friend of mine with only $2 worth of coins.

...Okay, good for you, I guess? I said that for me, I don't get a sense of mastery for most RPG accomplishments. Fulfillment of a different sort? Sure. But Chrono Trigger isn't a hard game, so I don't get a sense of mastery for it. Personally (as in, what I am saying is subjective and I am not judging you or anyone else, but since it's the Internet you assume I am, so I guess every opinion has to be prefaced with this) I get more of a sense of mastery for things that are based on skill, not just being really thorough. I still love those games though.

Don't take offense, I was being sarcastic. I don't know what font to use to convey that, though. So it was posted all in good fun. Most RPGs/JRPGs are more of a grind than anything really. I'll see where they will give it a difficulty of an 8/10 on trophy sites, but the difficulty usually comes with getting to a level to beat a super boss or a mini-game mechanic that's not very fun. (see Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters - Does Anybody Want to Play Parcheesi?)
I wish I were a better gamer when it came to platformers, or other genres of games.

Sorry about that; it's really hard to read sarcasm over just text. ;D
I don't know what they'd give it a rating like that unless it's just based on the number of people who have accomplished that, I guess?
I'm not all that great at games any more either. As I get older I just like to enjoy them when I get the time to play. I've become a filthy casual at this point, but who cares?

Yeah, I apologize, I've had more than enough texting misunderstandings. So I just wanted to clear things up. No use having any tension on a board that's supposed to be enjoyable and informative.
Going by PSNProfiles, playstationtrophies.org, and like minded sites they generally rate it on how difficult it is to get a trophy and/or how long it would take to complete. So JRPGs/RPGs are usually deemed difficult due to 100s of hours that are needed to be put into playing to they them. Where games like Super Meat Boy, and Titan Souls are just hard games. others are due to having to complete a game with 0 deaths, like Killzone: Shadow Fall, Shovel Knight, and, once again, Super Meat Boy.
I'm with you, I'm older now so my gaming time is more limited than it used to be. I want to play something that won't have me ripping out my already thin hair. Plus, I'm a huge nerd, so I love my RPGs.
