what are the most replayable titles?

I'm currently narrowing down a list of games, and due to budgetary limit, i can only get 2 games for now. what i'm looking for are great games with single player contents (strong multiplayer is a plus) that are highly replayable in a meaningful way. I have narrowed down MGS4 and Valkyria Chronicles, and i might get Demon's Soul when the phantom edition hits the shelf. Are these good picks? You're welcome to suggest other titles. all genres are fine, but no FPS and puzzle please. thanks in advance.

Oblivion and pretty much any fighter take the cake on replay. You can pour a lot of time into LBP too.

still, i would like i spend on to last as long as possible.

I would definitely get FIFA2010, which i think fits my need perfectly, if not for the fact that the World Cup edition is coming soon.

I have oblivion on pc, and no puzzle game please.

uncharted 2MethodManFTW

i believe uncharted 2 is a fantastic game... but I heard it only lasts around a dozen hours and its replayability is mostly in multiplayer.

mgs4 has solid multiplayer and singleplayer unlockables to extend playtime in a meaningful way. VC doesnt have much in terms of replay value unless you want to go back and re-experience an excellent campaign that is already long in just 1 playthrough. demons souls in replayable mostly for trying out new character builds, but you could do it for the harder difficulty level if you wanted too. of those, id say that demon's souls has the longest playtime.

also, id add dragon age to the list as well. theres just so much opportunity to go back and play around with new character builds, party set ups, and meaningful story decisions. id say that dragon age has the most playtime of the games ive mentioned.

it doesn't have to be obscenely long. by replayble i mean i expect the gameplay to provide meaningful choices and i can ultimately experience the game in different ways. if Uncharted 2 is like that then i'll check it out.

i have Dragon Age on my pc. sorry, i should mention that i already have most of the biggest western rpg titles.

I would like to know more about how replayable Demon's Souls is, though. by different build i take it that you mean it allows you to create and play as different "classes" of characters, much like what we do in traditional western rpgs? will the gameplay be vastly different in each case?

Fallout 3 has gotten the most of it. Even beating out MGS4 I think. MGS4 would be second. I've played the hell outta that game as well lol

Dead Space

I think you should get inFamous. it took me about 18 hours to finish but you'll want to play it at least twice cause you can be good or bad.

Assassins creed 1 & 2 are good choices too.

i get the feeling that you're joking. own the game and it's nothing like what i'm looking for.

Multiplayer games (e.g. COD6 and MAG) have ALOT of replayability :P

innovation is nice, but it's not among my top criteria for great games. LBP may be phenomenal, but from i found out about it, it's not my cup of tea. for my girlfriend's sake i might get it some day, but not now.

FIFA 10 is a great game if you are into football. It has heaps of replay value too, offline and online.
inFamous is also a really good, replayable game. You can play through as good or bad, each path feeling slightly but still noticeably different.
Fallout 3 seems to fit your bill perfectly. You can replay it heaps and you can perform different, meaningful choices each playthrough that change up your game.
GTA IV is also a good replayable game, some choices concerning morals and the like but not overly meaningful. Still worth replaying though. Or just mucking around.

Just Cause 2

I'm 70 hours in and I've only completed 51% of the game. That plus uploading cool stunts videos on YouTube never gets old.

Assassins Creed 2 you might find it cheap nowadays and it's very long, if you intend to platinum it, else it's a 10 hours marathon or so. If you like sandbox games, you can't go wrong with ACII.

Demon's Souls, as it encourages you to play through again with it's NG+ that's pretty much infinite.

Valkyria Chronciles, because it's that fun.

Dragon Age: Origins, since there's a lot of different choices you can make that change a lot of the content as you proceed through the game. Plus it has trophies that encourage several completions.

:lol: I thought "replay" meant after you've finished the game?

I'm playing JC2 myself (52hrs and 38%). But I'm not "replaying it". This is the first playthrough...

Ah, you're identical twins? That's pretty cool how you can do that!:lol:

Oh I get it. It's one of those "we should think for you, guess what you like" threads. See, I thought this was a thread about asking fellow members what games they replay the most. But I see it's your sorry attempt to be "clever" because you're too lazy to do something yourself.

Grand Theft Auto 4 I bought it on launch completd it and messed around loads in it and Ive been playing through it again for ages its an amazing game, best gangstar sim ever, in my opinion also one of the best games ever for me.

See, I thought GTA IV was their worst in the series, and that's including the original two on the PS1. The power of opinion.

Yes a lot of people didnt like GTA4. Not sure why maybe they never really got into it.

But it certanley is an incredible game one of the highest scoring games ever and cetanley one of the best games to date in my opinion.

killzone 2, gta4, uncharted 2, heavy rain

Well, it depends how you look at it. When I play a sandbox game, I consider the work done when the last story mission is over. The rest is "replayability", at least for me it is.

no idea what you're talking about. i stated clearly what i want and what i'm looking for in my first post. you have to be "not very clever" to think that this is "about asking fellow members what games they replay the most". try harder next time.

thanks for the recommendation so far. Just Cause 2 and GTA4 seem pretty great too. I just wish Rockstar would release the Liberty City episodes with the core game in a bundle....

I though do not no actually. I think since their is no ps2 fourms anymore. FFX.
