POLL: For how long can you replay a game?

Remove all ads!

Just wondering for how long a game that you like can keep your interest. Of course, it varies from game to game, so just try your best to generalize it and average things out.

For myself, I can spend more than a year playing the same game over without getting bored of it.

It really depends on what is a game about and how much extra money i have now.

For games like Championship Manager (football club managing game), i can play it continously for a year with at least one match each day.

Games like BG2 or FF7, the max for me is finish them twice in a row. From now a then, i might look back and replay the game (which i did lately for both), because i get tired of current games and don't have money to buy new games.

 

It depends on the game! I mean, you could say that I still play a game like Half-Life, cause of the multiplayer.. I see myself playing NWN for quite some time too... but with single player games, I rarely play them again once I finish them the first time... the only exception I can think of is Morrowind, and that was only cause I could do completely different quests with my new character. I never played BG2 again, even though I love the game.. it was just too repetitive to go through the same thing again. I'm like that with movies too, I don't understand why anyone would want to watch the same movie more than 2 times.

 

Again, it depends. For games like Thief, that i have to get into, once i'm into it, i can play it for weeks at a time (mainly coz i do the missions very thoroughly).

Games like Worms i will always go back to coz you can just pick it up and play.

 

I play the game as long as I can; playing it through only once would be waste of money. Of course, if the game just isn´t good enough; it´s better to sell it...

 

Haven't seen the limit for playing BG2 or FFVII yet...

 

For CRPG's it is till the end, unfortunatly, that end has already come to pass. Except it was from a de grade not an up grade

 

Well...

I've played IWD2 three times,
I'm in my fourth at the moment...

I don't have any *rules* for how long I'm going to play a game... it differs...

 

The good old original Baldur's Gate " keeps my interest" to this day, and I think it always will. It is special to me because it is the first rpg I ever played and is still my favorite, I can't get enough of it.

 

I have to try out different classes/races/alignments and such...

What I did with IWD2, was: I finished it once in AD&D, twice in Insane and once in HoF...

I'm half through in my second HoF game as I type...

 

Well last week I played Civilization 1

Go figure!

 

Well ive been playing the original Zelda for Nintendo since the day it came out. Though of course i eventually put it on my computer Most good games you can atleast get a year out of. Though things like MMORPGs you can probably get quite a few years out of. You would be wasting years of your life at the same time though.(like i did with AC)

Games like Thief and Thief II are always in my heart as well

 

Holy, and I thought I would be the only one who doesn't get bored from replaying games several times. Looks like I'm not alone

 

Usually nice, new, fresh games coming out, sometimes it can be hard to keep up. Expecially when your still playing something thats been out five years

 

If you liked them, you should definitively try out Splinter Cell, based on a novell by Tom Clancy... It's great!!

 

I can play games forever. I will most likely leave it a while and come back - I always do.

Don't you just love loyal people?

 

It really depends on the game. I am currently playing BG2 again for the umpteenth time.

I have some games like Civilizations 2 and Master of Orion 2 that I never really grow tired of. I will not touch for months on end but then I will fire them up for a game or two and it will be like I had never stopped playing them.

For CRPGs I will typically beat the game once without assistance and then take a look at some walkthroughs and play a game where I try to find everything I missed the first time. After that I will usually only play it again if there is an alternate path to take or if I find an interesting mod.

 

Depends on the replay value of the game in question.

BG1 and 2 I've played about half a dozen times each and when the next BG2 mod is released I'll probably play it again.

IWD1 and 2 I played twice and doubt I'll touch them again. Too linear. The game's the same every time you play it.

NWN I played once and have no yearning desire to play again. I doubt I'd have had the willpower to finish it the first time if I hadn't downloaded the walkthru as I was pretty close to giving up through sheer tedium.

Diablo 2 I played once and the unchanging style of play - wander around and kill lots of enemies, etc, etc, etc - dissuaded me from trying it again.

POR I played for about a day before the sheer naffness of it just got to me.

 

I liked those games because of the medival fantasy time they were based in Plus they were just awesome lol.

 

I never play any Pc games.....but as far as consoles go i've put in about 152 hours into final fantasy 10 and i've got about 100 on metal gear solid 2.
