Favorite games you'd never play twice

Ever played one of those games that you felt were soooo great? Had everything you wanted in a video game... But you couldn't actually play it more than once? Some games are incredibly amazing, but only for the first run through em. They're always there to talk about how awesome they are, but they're mostly used as dust collecters or perhaps suggestions to friends. Have any games like this you'd like to share? Here are a few from me:

KOTOR I and II - Amazing stories and overall superb games... but seriously. Who wants to play these more than twice? Onegame on each side of the force?Perhaps people have, but its never been worth the alternate endings to me. I've heard there are several.

Mass Effect - I'd still rate this as one of my favorite games of all time today. I even TRIED to play through it a second time to beat it on the different factions. Couldn't do it. This is definately one of those you play once, then the next time through... It just sucks. Though the first time, its absolutely incredible.

Zelda Twilight Princess - I'd say this is my favorite zelda right after ocarina of time, though its the ONLY zelda I haven't been able to completely beat through more than once. I don't know why. The game just gives off a strange vibe after its first runthrough.

Assassin's Creed - This game was fun while it lasted, but again... After that first time, the game's pretty much worthless to me now. (Totally off subject, but the ending was horrible lol)

Definately some of my favorite games EVER!! Yet I could never bring myself to pick one of them up and play completely through again.

I know what you mean by playing a game once and that it was so great the first time although playing it again would be pointless since you already beat it. Like my favorite saturn role playing game is shining the holy ark when I first played it I thought it was awesome even though it was really short and kinda easy I dont play it anymore because I beat it.Now I just have it as a collectors item since it is in good shape maybe one day I'm thinking it will be worth something on ebay.

Too many games.

Any 3D zelda game, Games that were released early in a console's lifespan, when the graphics weren't artistic nor technically proficient at the time, any rpg, any 3D platformer,

And I think everyone can say they'd never play adventure games twice, games like professor layton.

Knights of the Old Republic and Mass Effect are perfect games for multiple playthroughs because they offer a different experience. RPG's in general are great for repeated playthroughs. I replay games a lot and I've replayed most of my favorites multiple times. The way I see it, if I don't have the urge to replay a particular game, then it wasn't really that great in the first place. I don't have any amazing albums that I never want to hear again and I don't have any fantastic movies I never want to see again. It's the same with games. If it's truly amazing, I will replay it.

However, as to everything, there are a few exceptions. Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth is a really great, unique and highly memorable experience for me, but I doubt I'll ever replay it. I would actually like to do so, but the game features extreme difficulty and a virtually broken save system which I'm dreading.

Any game that has a secret within it that you find out about after you beat it the first time. Its no fun playing through a game again that you already know whats hidden. As you can see im being very general about this because there are alot of games that make me feel this way

[QUOTE="gunswordfist"][QUOTE="stike22"] You have really never played that game twice? are you sure your not getting even the slightest craving to play it again.07pops07

Max Payne 2. It was my favorite TPS of all time until I beat the first one but it just didn't make me want to play it again. I still plan too one of these days.gunswordfist

Finished MP2 6 times. I think that's my record for any game.

My list is huge for this question.

Oblivion comes to mind as well as Ninja Gaiden, Metriod Prime, the newer Marios and Zeldas, Psychonauts, Prince of Persia, or many games that are single player. I find co-op to help in replay value.doomsoth
