Do you ever play through games more than once?

I've been thinking about playing through God of War III and Infamous again after beating them both already to see if there is any replay value (but mostly because I enjoyed them so much the first time) on higher difficulties. It may not be as rewarding as playing through them for the first time, but I figure that playing them again will just help me re-live those great times and frustrations and understand the true value that I paid for in the first place.

Do many of you play through games multiple times after having beaten them?

I have a tendency to replay my favorite games a lot, though not usually right after the other, but in between playing other games. Though if I play a game say on normal difficulty and really enjoy it I will usually play it again on a higher difficulty right after finishing it. Plus it is fun to see if I missed anything the first time playing through.

And then there are the games that have reasons you would want to replay, say if it is a game where choices affect the outcome, or if it is a game that offers incentives in a second playthrough, like different powers or something. I try to get the most out of every game I buy, unless I hate it.

Yes, most Platinums require at least two playthroughs.

I lol every time I see your signature.

depends, if i really liked a game then yes. some of these games include mario 64, uncharted 2, Gun, Call of Duty 3, Prince of Persia Warrior Within and The Two Thrones, and working on Mass Effect 2 again. Other games I'll go back and do certain missions, such as in B:BC2 and KZ2. I actually find it interesting going back to games I've beat a while ago, as it allows me remember just how great games can be.

Rarely. I'll only play a game multiple times if I really enjoyed it and want to get the achievements/trophies for it, but usually I don't care about achievements/trophies.

I play through all of my games more than once. What would be the point of buying over 50 games if I was just gonna play them once and let them collect dust for the rest of my days.

Yupe, I've played most of my games more than once. My most played game is Final Fantasy X and I have finished it 17 times so far. As for PS3 games God of War III tops my list with 10 times.

Yes!:) especially if I get to play as a bad guy or good guy. Also, if it's a really great game I can easily play through it multiple times (I've already done this with BioShock, Grand Theft Auto IV, Resident Evil 5, and Valkyria Chronicles). I definitely want to play through the God of War trilogy again too.;)

Not that often, but I did play through Demon's Souls four times and the first Uncharted 3 times.

I seldom replay games i've already beat. The last games i can remember were Prey and Doom 3 on PC.

yeh, but only games i like. i wont list them all. but i have recently replayed ffviii, uncharted and links awakening on me gbc at the cost ofa number ofgames i have bought that are yet to be played or finished.

for me i played it once coz i dont have time 2 play it more, and there are alot of games to finish so why u play it twice it time wasted :)

i think mgs4 was the only game i picked up a second time this gen. super mario world though, i've probably played through that 100 times.

Sure man !! When you really like a game, my advice is to wait some time, play some more games and stuff, and some time ago play ir again. You always forget things which are nice to remember, and you understand the storyline even better when you repeat a playtrough.

Do it.

I played through Devil May Cry 4 and Metal Gear Solid 4 three times each. Killzone 2 twice and Army of Two: The 40th Day like maybe four times considering all the chapter replays I've done. Good times :)

hell yea! bioshock! (1 not 2) i've gone thru that game probally more than a thousand times and still do till this day! chronicles of Riddick is another great one, tho i must admit i play thru escape from butcher bay more than assault on dark athena..

I've played through Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II multiple times each, and have clocked in SEVERAL hundreds of hours combined.

I'll probably do the same for KH3, if it ever gets developed.

Othergames, however, I've rarely played more than twice. Andwith most games,I've only gone through one playthrough.

Yes there are some games that I have played up to 4 times. If I really like the game. Then yes I playthrough again. Only about 20% of the games

I always replay my games. Back when I was a kid I didn't have the money to afford a lot of games so I stuck with the ones I had. I've probably played through each Ratchet and Clank a dozen or more times alone. The habit kind of stuck with me and as a result, there isn't a single game in my collection that hasn't been played through at least twice with the exception of Oblivion, on which I just stick with my current save.

i used to but no anymore. FFX i probably played like 3 or 4 times over. my favourite game of all time.

I've played through Uncharted 2, 3 times.

Sometimes if I can access additional stuff by going through it again, rarely if not, I really need to love it to go through it even though it has no additional stuff

Yes, but mostly for trophies. I played through R&C: ACiT 3 times for instance (1 playthrough for fun on normal; 1 on hard and 1 in challenge mode).

Yep all the time.
