Some awesome trophy stats from the PS4 that gives percentages of how rare trophies are, which in turn gives us percentages of how many people who at least started the game so that that game appears on their trophy list have gotten certain trophies, like finish the game.

So for GTAV, only 66% of people have tried the online mode. Only 33% finished the game.

Only 45% of people finished TLOU.

71% of people finished Journey, that is very high.

49% finished Batman Arkham City. 47% finished Arkham Asylum

Its worth noting that almost every games first intro trophy is at 93-95%, so there are many people that just either put the disc in to install or something and didnt play or maybe never synced or something.

Sonic Generations is interesting, 95% finished the first stage,  68% finished the second. What a crazy drop. 60% for the third stage and then 42% for the fourth stage. 28% finished every level.

Only 37% of people finished Uncharted 3. 45% finished Uncharted 2

WTF only 81% finished the first level of RE5.  There must be a ton of plus owners that got this free, started it up just to look at it and never play it.

48% finished Mass Effect 2, wow nice number for such a huge game. Only 39% finished ME3.

52% finished GoW3. 53% finished DmC. 46% finished Metal Gear Rising. Action fans are mostly hardcore.

Only 36% finished Bioshock. 37% finished Bioshock 2. But 45% finished Infinite.

Only 29% of people finished the CoD Black Ops campaign.

Wow that Skull girls/Konami story is bizarre. I wonder if I should redownload my copy of it. I wasn't the biggest fan of the game, but I'd hate not to be able to get it after I paid for it.

Those PSN trophy stats are pretty cool. Now if they'd just start making some games for it that I want to play.

Oh and nothing from me for what I played this week. I spent my weekend at a biker run in South Florida and handheld gaming is frowned upon at those events.

Splinter Cell Blacklist is pretty good.

As someone who's played nearly every game I'd say it's the best since the original. I would probably recommend the 360 version for the texture pack. Unless you desperately need offscreen play, the U features here are welcome but slight. Deus Ex has raised the bar for stealth games and upad use. And the lack of a realtime second screen map just feels weird when so many other games have this feature.

That said it's still a good version and still looks decent, see my pics in the screenshot thread. It does have a better resolution and no screen tearing compared to the other versions and some decentish second screen use.

Now that I've unlocked more gadgets and weapons the second screen stuff feels much more useful and intuitive than using the stock 360/pc/ps3 weapon wheel. And all the second screen gadgets combined with the gyros really make you feel like a spy with this cool gadget in your hands. Shame there is no texture pack install as gameplay and mechanically this is easily the best way to play it. Shame they forgot about a realtime map.

MGS in March! Damn March is insane. Spread out the games people.

Xbox gets such a better mission. PS4 gets a skin change, Xbox gets a whole new character and move set.

I'd love to see stats like that for Nintendo games.  It would be interesting to see how many people finish Mario, Metroid and Zelda games.

Yes I would love that info. I would assume it's very low. Kids can be finicky which will bring the score down. I think Zelda would do much better than Mario.
