games with zero replay value

[OpticalJunction]

Puzzle games typically have little replay value. I felt this way about Portal 1+2 in particular.

 

[Vault101]

It depends for me portal 1 and 2 have replay because of the humour and I cant remember all the puzzles

I mean really I think anyway game can be replayable if you enjoyed it enough, its not like gamers are ADD idiots who need somthign new to be entertained for a couple of hours...right?....right?

Any Legend of Zelda, especially Twiight Princess. I just remember all the shit I have to do and go, "Well I'm not going through that again."

That's a funny one, because the moment I finished OoT3D, I started up Master Quest for my 3 heart run. xD

It's a whole different ball game this time, for sure. Harder on so many levels. I wish Zelda games had more stuff like this! Fighting the lizalfos in the 2nd temple after a flaming bat (OUT OF NOWHERE) killed me and burned my Deku shield, I had to actually go through my items and find something to help with the fight. I had to dodge around and strike fast because blocking wasn't an option. I've died a lot so far but I'm really seeing how playing with those restrictions makes it a much more rewarding experience overall.

Not sure what my point is, other than Nintendo needs to make special alternate "hard modes" available in Zelda games. Bonus points if they just have a new game plus feature that lets you turn on or off special things like no heart containers/pieces, no healing/fairies, no unnecessary items... I've tried 3-heart runs in LttP (yeah, nope.), OoT, Minish Cap (much better this way, really. Couldn't beat the last form of the end boss and ended up losing the cart later), and TP. (by far the worst. Stupid heart pieces in dungeons...) They're much more fun with the added challenge but Nintendo really needs to capitalize on hardcore Zelda themselves instead of just letting players do it themselves for no reason at all.

What puzzle games are you playing? Because Meteos, Bubble Bobble, Tetris, and Puzzle League (Tetris Attack) are some of the most replayable games this side of Elder Scrolls. I've put more time into those than the vast majority of what I play... Portal is the exception more than it is the rule.

I would have to say Amnesia The Dark Descent because that game is heavily scripted. Once you know where all the monsters are going to attack you its a lot less scarier.

I don't think I'll replay L.A. Noire for a long time. I need to forget everything first.

Same here

but im still playing the DLC's

there awesome

[Nicholson Plating was awesome]

 

[Dalek Caan]

Transformers Dark Side of the Moon. Such a bad and tedious campaign that it make me cry.

 

[Argonian alchemist]

Duke Nukem Forever...

However that didn't even have the initial first time playthrough value... so, uh, yeah...

 

[hazabaza1]

To me... Minecraft.
Honestly, once you've found diamonds and built a house, then there's nothing to do.

 

[Gibboniser]

Horror games, since you know what's going to happen.

 

[Extravagance]

Medal Of Honor Tier 1. Completed it in about 3 hours on the medium difficulty, cannot bring myself to care enough to replay it, even on the tier/prestige mode.

Maybe Fable 3 as well. Played it through twice now (The second time after getting screwed over by the time jumps in the RTS-style section) and then the saves were lost. Really don't care enough to play it through again, which is dissapointing for a fable game. I'm playing Lost Chapters for the 20th time instead.

 

[lord.jeff]

For me Shadow of the Colossus first time through big, opposing enemies second time through memorized climbing puzzle. Also most linear RPGs and any other puzzle games.

No replay value award has to go to borederlands after the 2nd time around evverything seems so played out story wise and its so limmited on the starter area oh and any spiderman game(except flying around on webs thats always fun ) OHHH and crackdown

Damn, I've beaten the original campaign on borderlands at least 5 times! Then the Armory DLC nearly twice after i played it to death the first time before I lost the save file. Especially on hard mode, I found some of the fights quite challenging and so fun. The story that was there was not intrusive and generally entertaining if i chose to listen to it (which i wouldn't always do).

In any case, story is usually a reason not to replay a game for me. I beat Portal 2 and went back for round 2 and found myself bored outa my mind before I got to the first test chamber. It just starts off too slowly and the story is no longer interesting because i know what's going to happen. Portal 2 has a few other crutches as well. The puzzles just aren't as challenging as in Portal, not until late in the game anyway. Then there's the lack of a challenge mode and I've probably spent more time playing Portal than Portal 2, even after the Co-Op campaign.

Basically i feel that games that are too story oriented are harder to replay than other games.

Pong.
When I beat my enemy several times through clever paddle maneuvering I just couldn't bring it upon myself to go about it again.

 

[weker]

Uncharted and Modern warfare series are my biggest gripes, after you have seen the pretty pictures the game shows, pushing forwards to win doesn't let the game be enjoyable a second time.

 

[infohippie]

Dragon Age 2. I had to force myself to finish it the first time. I tried to replay it as another class like I do with all RPGs, but in the end I couldn't face the long slog back through all the repeated uninspired locations and tedious fights.

 

[Doitpow]

Alan Wake...I actually really enjd it, but even collecting all the damn manuscripts on nightmare has no appeal for me

 

[orangeapples]

for me, a game with zero replay value was a game with zero play value. If a game is worth playing once, it is worth playing again. Perhaps not right away, but later on down the line.

 

[Tharwen]

I think Myst is almost in this category. I had to wait 10 years before replaying the third one so I could forget about how to do all the puzzles.

Sadly, it's also a fantastic game.

 

[funguy2121]

I'm replaying Fallout 3 for the first time in about a year I think, and because i haven't played it in so long I'm having a lot of fun with it.

I guess I was just wondering if there were any game you guys had played that you never wanted to/felt like ever playing again.

Even a year later.

I'm not anticipating winning any awards for Most Original Statement, but Metroid: Other M. I really did enjoy the overall experience (though I was wanting more the whole time) throughout the (short-ass) game, in spite of its numerous flaws, until I finished it. There were even points where I thought, I'll enjoy playing through this again. But as soon as I finished it, I ejected the disc and took the game to sell it.

Also, (Whoa! flame shield) Metal Gear Solid. The good one, I mean. The Gamecube remake, the version without the epileptic jaggie-thon, the one that looked good. When I first played the game I loved it. I didn't play it for a year, and the whole time I was like, what did I get out of this the first time?
