Depends on the game as Skyrim can't be considered complete just doing main quest, but Valkyrie Chronicles can.

Finishing and completing are different imo

Finishing is getting to the end credits/beating the final boss
Completing is beating the game at 100%

Usually when you win the main mode of a game. If it's an endless game, you can never finish.

Look at my bio to check what Egg-Move/Hidden Ability Pokemon I will breed for you.
I also have shinies for trade in exchange for a Pokemon I want.

Finishing a game:
Beating the final boss in a conventional game. Some games dont have a final boss, but have a clear objective. Some games have no "end" as well. It could also be unlocking all the characters and stages, in a game like Smash Brothers or Mario Party.
For example, in Mario 64 it would be beating the final bowser.

Completing a game:
This to me doing all the sidequests and post-game content. For example, in Mario 64 it would be to collect all the power stars the game has to offer. This can also be 100%ing the game in most cases.
In other games like Zelda OOT, it would be to collect all the gold skulltullas, obtain all optional items (like big gorons sword), and all the masks. You can also include the item upgrades like the quiver and bomb upgrades.

Personally, there are very few, I mean very few, games I have completed or attempt to complete nowadays. Some games take a lot of dedication, multiple playthroughs, mastering certain mini-games, and fully exploring the game world. I struggle to even "finish" most games I play, but it is at least the main goal for me with each game I attempt to start.

Id say complete is 100%, finish I could say just main storyline of game.

Finishing and completing sound like they have a semantic difference. Finishing sounds like beating, which would just be the campaign. Completing suggests doing some additional relevant content, although not necessarily 100%ing it. Granted, there's also the connotation of "finishing" being whenever you're done with the game for whatever reason, which might not even involve beating it.
