Do you keep playing finished games?

very rarely like right now i am playing tales of phantasia gba version when not playing ps2 on tv. this is almost out of no choice, i would rather finish unfinished games rather then play finished ones. i am not into challenges and completion either.

but ofcourse the action or sport games can be a exception.

I did for Fallout 3 because I chould keeo playing in the world, but I usally don't. Once I beat a game I 'm on to the next one. :?

i always intend to but just don't have the time. just finished demon's souls recently and would like to do a +1 playthrough but i have a pile of games i want to play first. so many games and so little time

Yes, and i consider to be the biggest problem i have. Once i beat a game, if i liked so much that i kept it for my personal collection (i tend to sell games that i dont particularly liked a lot) i will re-play it over and over again. I have limited time for games as well, so re-playing games over and over, does not allow me to play newer ones. I consider this to be the biggest flaw i have as a gamer.

p.s. And the games i re-play are single player so one would consider that i go through the same story over and over again...but what can i do? I enjoy re-playing games...

Depends on how good the game was

If I enjoyed the game a lot, yes.

Unless the game was completely terrible I always give it a minimum of 2-3 playthroughs.

I rarely do it, but some games have good replay value. Sometimes I play it again for nostalgia's sake.

Depends on the game, some games I probably will never go back and replay after I beat it. Some games are easy to come back to

Yes, I do.

Take The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for PS3 as a example. I beat that game months ago and now I feel the itch. I deleted my save files and now I'll start a new and better file.

It's pretty rare that I do.

yeah...sometimes i play through games with self-imposed challenges and such (like beating the original contra using only the rifle wiithout losing a life)

nowadays, i rarely play games once i finished it outside of collecting any misc. achievements i may have missed.

I did for Oblivion, and a bit of Fallout 3. But not usually, no.

I remembered now that the last year I started playing again the first Golden Sun because I remembered I loved that game. I got bored pretty quickly, but it was because I already cleared it and I still remebered everything.

Only sandbox games with massive worlds to be explored.

Yes. I have played the MGS series several times each. Except 4, haven't played it yet.

GTA series as well.

Depends. If it's an RPG, then, most likely, yes. It really depends on the game, but I usually play through most games at least twice.

RPGs - yes. I like to do any side-quests I missed and explore new places. Everything else, not really.

Really depends on the game.

My favorite genre is side-scrolling (preferably vertically-scrolling) arcade shoot-em-ups. Obscene amounts of bullets to dodge, and a number-crunching scoring system to take full advantage of. When playing for one credit ("continues" are for wimplos), it's the greatest adrenaline rush ever. (for a masochist such as myself, anyway.) This is the ultimate definition of replay value, in my eyes. Even if it's just to outdo your personal best high score. The games themselves are generally less than an hour in length but I've put over 100 into several of them through thousands of single-credit runs.

Also, short-but-sweet games like Zone of the Enders 2, Sin & Punishment, Panzer Dragoon, and Vanquish are fun to replay, with a focus on nonstop action and some very unique set-piece battles.

I do go back and re-play games that I love, and more often than not I end up enjoying them better the second time around. Some games I re-play many times.

Rarely i replay games that i have beaten before except for games that really really good..

Of course I do, if I didn't.. I'd have ran out of games a long time ago.

not usually. Its like watching a movie 2-3 times in a row, its very hard.Allicrombie

threre are some exceptions like fighters and shooter multiplayer,..

but besides those...

I replay games that have excellent pacing - feels like something fresh is always happening and no segment drags on too long, also any game that has frustrating difficulty I tend not to replay

Unless the game was completely terrible I always give it a minimum of 2-3 playthroughs.

same...then there are games like kotor which ive easily played 20 times..

Uh no, never have and probably never will.

i playthrough RPG's multiple times often. (fallout, dragon age and mass effect many times)
and i also play alot of game that DONT end, minecraft, simcity, sims, tycoon games.

I used to, with games like MGS2 and GTA3, but given the fact that I have a rather large backlog at the moment, I trying to finish games as quickly as possible.

yes, no matter what the game I always start it on medium and beat then up the difficulty and replay it. Mostly to get the most bang for my buck ;)

I always play again on the hardest difficulty or get achievements.

By the time I'm finished, I've usually had enough.. But always replay em somewhere down the line, especially if nothing else has caught my eye at that particular time

the game's I like most i give 6 month after finish, then I go on them again, or if there ain't a game I want to play atm I still play the old once, it can be anything from old zelda on N64 to Mario, some snes, the ofcrose, some PC game's, rly enjoy it, brings up good old time's from when you sat there when you were 8, and now 15 years later, you can still play them and have a good laugh....

Atm im looking into playing zelda on Nintendo GC, but that when my broken knuckle have heald, LOL

I usually do it at least 3 times with an RPG, and mostly just 2 with games from other genres that I liked
