Games That Are So Good You Bought Then Twice

[Anon]

I bought Oblivion twice on the same system. Bought it when it first came out, sold it a couple years later and then bought the 5 year anniversary edition not too long ago. To be honest, I'd probably buy it a third time once I get my hands on a decent PC.

I'm ashamed of myself for the first three games on this list:

Mass Effect 1 (360, PC
Mass Effect 2 and all weapon/story relevant DLC (360, PC)
Dragon Age Origins (360, Ultimate edition - PC)
Darksiders (360, PC)
Fallout New Vegas (360, PC)

Oblivion. 3 times. The first copy was a gift from a friend. It was my first of many things, first 360 game, first major rpg, first game I spent an ungodly amount of time on. The second time I got it was for PC but my computer couldn't run it so I had to buy another copy for the 360 when the first one broke.

Um...Left 4 Dead 2. Bought it 360 then got it on PC when I learned how awesome Steam was. Same with Portal 1.

most of my duplicates are from wanting games on the newer systems even though i have them on the original console (which is with my parents)

super mario bros. (NES, WiiVC)
kirby's adventure (NES, WiiVC)
castlevania III (NES, WiiVC)
super mario bros. 3 (NES, GBA)
donkey kong country (SNES, GBA)
super mario world (SNES, GBA)

gta: vice city (PS2x2) - i let someone borrow it and they scratched the disk to hell. got another one, and i still don't care to finish it
soul calibur 2 or 3 (PS2x2) - some scratched it on accident and i got another copy

starcraft - lost the disk at some point and got another copy.

i also have almost all of the games in both the mega man anniversary collection and mega man x collection on their original formats, i think i'm just missing x2 and x3 on SNES.

i'd rather just have one permanent copy though than buy a digital one.

Red faction 1, the prince of Persia original trilogy, and matrix path of Neo, considering buying dead space 1 and the darkness 1 again.

DAO and ME1 are both good games as far as I'm concerned, ME2 was a disappointment to me so I can understand that but why are you ashamed of ME and DAO?

 

[Sack of Cheese]

I got two copies of Dragon age Origins for PC and PS3, as well as 2 copies of Mass effect 1 for both PC and Xbox. That's about it.

 

[Aircross]

I bought Dragon Quest IX twice since you can only have one save file per cartridge.

 

[Purplecoyote]

I have Oblivion for PC and Xbox360, I also own two copies of Okami for PS2.

 

[Sinclair Solutions]

I don't think I've ever bought a game twice. The thought of it just bothers me. I have downloaded WoW twice, but the second time was because it was free.

 

[AbstractStream]

Kingdom Hearts
Mass Effect [360/PC]
Persona 3 [PS2/PS2/PSP]
Diablo II
Metal Gear Solid 3
Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes
Final Fantasy X

I'm mad at myself for filling EA/Bioware's pockets before knowing their history. Had I read about them back in 2009, I would have been able to avoid Bioware altogether.

I got Portal, as it was included with the Orange Box. Then I downloaded it from XBLA with the extra levels.

Also Call of Duty 4, after somebody borrowed it from me and never gave it back.

 

[redisforever]

Crimson Skies for Xbox, got a free copy with an Xbox live box thingy.
Armed and Dangerous for Xbox, dog tried to eat disc, put holes in it, bought it later for like $3.
That's about it, I think.

the only games I've bought twice are games that I traded in towards other games. In some cases it was me just taking in a stack of my old games and accidentally trading one in I didn't intend to, other cases I fully intended to trade in the game but after a few months I realized "God damnit, I REALLY wanna play that again!"

Some such games include:
Left 4 Dead 2
Portal 2
Bioshock 2

Harvest Moon a Wonderful Life for the PS2, my dad sold my GC without me knowing and i had that game for it, the terrible thing is, the game was bugged to shit, laggy as hell for some reason and you have to BUY GRASS IN THE FIELD SO YOUR COWS CAN EAT......oh my god the GC version was so much better T__T stupid dad * sobs *
