Trophy Rarity is fascinating

I feel like 20-30% is the average.
Its kind of impressive to me when a game has a high completion rate
I think I remember Souls games have a surprisingly high completion rate.

I believe this was changed recently.
I've heard similar numbers quoted around at jobs and historically. It seems to be creeping up as historically it was closer to 20%.
It always surprised me it was so low.

I just checked the Xbox app for some RPG:
Dragon Age: Inquisition
The Wrath of Heaven - 65.88%
Finish the prologue.
Witcher 3 (Normal, not GOTY edition)
Lilac and Gooseberries - 64.32%
Find
Fallout 4
War Never Changes - 78.22%
Enter The Wasteland
Final Fantasy XV
Insomnia's Waking Nightmare - 81.71%
Completed the Prologue.
Mass Effect: Andromeda
83.71% got First Contact (just landing in the tutorial map after the first dialogues) and 74.20% completed it (Pathfinder achievement)

Only 80% have gotten the platinum for Walking Dead S1 on PS3. All you have to do is play the game from start to finish XD

One explanation for this can be having multiple users on a single console. You accidentally start the game with the wrong account, wonder where your saved game has gone and notice that you didn't switch user.
Shadows of the Damned has 99.3% on starting the game.
Me too, but some people just don't play fighters online. My friend who has Tekken 7 has all the trophies but the online ones, which are pretty goddamn easy for online trophies.
I gave up.
The Elite
BOSS
80% is really good.

I had a ton of legendary gear but only touched the first raid. Didn't like Raids or any of the forced multiplayer (with no player matching in game!) content. TBH, it's why I'm mostly ignoring Destiny 2. I liked all the story content and didn't mind the strikes, but Raids were for a specific type of player, and that player was certainly not me.
Edit: I also realized I misread your comment! Apologies, though I'll let my comments here stand on their own. (thought you said that people gear up but never completed a raid).

Actually this may be inaccurate, because episode 1 is free and a lot of people could just ignore the rest of the game after trying the free content.
This is why I think trophies are only a good thing. They are optional, but can show data.
The switch should have some form of them/

Shouldn't be that baffling. Buy a game, play it for a bit, turns out you don't like it that much, trade it back in or shelve it and move on to something else. Or maybe you just rented or borrowed the game in the first place and only had it for a few days.

Anyone have the latest numbers from GT5 or GT6?

It took me about as many tries to get gold on Native Fortress as it took me to beat Ripper Roo
I almost just stopped playing myself!

GT5 has a much much lower average completion because of trophies like "get all gold medals" or "get 1000 cars".
Yeah, I just looked for The Simpsons in the Xbox app (that took a lot of scrolling and searching - thanks lack of search bar), and that has an achievement for pressing start. It's literally called "Press START to Play", with the description "Easiest achievement...ever".
93.45% of gamers have unlocked this.
That's not even a trophy syncing issue, as the 360 automatically does it. There are x number of people who have launched the game, and not even pressed start to get past the title.

Yeah, on Steam its at 48% for just beating the game. Which isn't really that bad either considering its been in several Humble Bundles.

I love looking at this stuff on Xbox, it's really strange the amount of people that quit games at certain points. Kind of makes you wonder why they all decided to quit at roughly the same part (do casuals only give a game 30 min or so? was something in that part bad and put them off?)

Ok. Maybe players that have been coddled by more recent design philosophy raged at the first sign of any kind of challenge
I always remember this when people talk about Achievements:
FF VII Achievements on Steam:

Good point.
I hate that fucking level.
I'm a nerd for the same numbers stuff, and I was looking at something similar for Tales for The Borderlands, when I played it last month.
I don't remember the exact numbers, but something like 75% of all players finished the first episode. Then for episode 2, that number dropped to 50%, but if you finished episode 2, it was very likely you finished the game. The drop off from 2 to 3, 3 to 4, and 4 to 5 was less than a percentage point. What's more, you could see how far apart the mid episode achievements were, because some of them had virtually no drop off between them, while others had a decent sized one.
Maybe not interesting in the traditional sense, but it was to me. IIRC, the first episode had been offered for free, trying to entice people to keep playing, which made sense why the huge drop off happened between 1 and 2.

lol looks like people check out after getting their bombing mission nostalgia fix
Those are the ones that fascinate me, would love to see a statistic for that one Simpsons game where you get a trophy for pressing start.
This.
If you ever really want to see this in action, refresh your feed and watch your friends get multiple trophies in multiple games at the same exact time.
It's because some people don't bother to go to their Trophy List, which is how it syncs. If you don't go there, it never syncs up so the rarity number get skewed.
Look at the rarity for GTA V for the first mission Welcome to Los Santos. I just checked it and it's 77.8% Which means either people are booting the game, exiting out and then going Online to never touch the story mode again (which is possible), or people aren't syncing their trophies.

It also won't sync that you have booted up the game so you won't count as a non-achiever either.

The amount of obscure, end-game achievements I have for MGS5 with completion% below 3% is kind of nuts. I don't know what Kojima/Konami were thinking.
Only 3.08% of gamers completed all Missions.
Only 6.19% of gamers raised all of their team units above 50.
Only 2.19% of gamers
The only mission completions that are above 70% are the first two. >_>

Yeah, I pretty much always check the rarity of trophies on games I play. I'm always interested in seeing how many people complete various tasks compared to others. It is sad that most people don't bother getting to the end credits in most games, though. Almost makes me wonder why the amount of "Content" you get in a game even matters to a lot of casual players if they don't even bother finishing easy 8 hour games.
One of the example of a weird case in rarity to me is the trophies for Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition. Almost no one (I think it's 1.5% or something) have all SS ranks on Dante Must Die but over 5% have beaten Bloody Palace as Vergil. I think getting all SS ranks is honestly way easier than I initially thought it was going to be but surviving Bloody Palace is a pain in the ass.

On PS4 I think its completely diffrent.
Heck I think the Platinum is around 8% which is high but I guess it is pretty easy with the boosters

Another interesting thing is comparing TrueAchievements completion numbers (in other words, players who are serious enough about achievement hunting to sign up for a website dedicated to it) to the general Xbox population. For some achievements the numbers are somewhat similar; for others the difference is huge.

This may have been mentioned already, but some people (like me) are super OCD about trophies, and as soon as they get a game, they load it on their PS4 to make the trophies show up in their list. For example, I got Persona 5 on day 1, loaded the trophies for it and haven't played it yet. So that 0% on my profile is bringing the trophy average down for everybody.
I guess it can skew it by people playing the game, checking their trophies at some point, play it again but never check afterwards.
It's a shame the Playstation consoles don't auto-sync unless you're PS+. I guess Xbox 360/One trophies are a better option for looking at data.

I noticed a while ago that downloaded games on my Vita don't install correctly unless I boot them up shortly after downloading them. Lots of games that I had downloaded from PS Plus without having started them were not working properly. So now I start every game I download with Plus once on my Vita, even though I may not get around to actually trying them until months later
I was too lazy to do it, but a thread that focused on the % of players who beat the main story mode of single player games at any difficulty level on PS4 would be fascinating.
Just from the games I own, I know it's low for some really popular titles, and even lower for a game like Transformer Devestation. And that's a pretty short game.

I'm part of the 78% and I've played D1 more than any other game on the PS4.
