Games you bought twice

[Shadow-Phoenix]

I've bought Red alert 3 for all 3 platforms but during different years from 2008-2010 because I bought the PS3 version first and then my PS3 died and from then on the 360 and finally the PC version.

Enjoyed all 3 forms even though the 360 version had a little elss content but graphics were not a problem on all 3.

You know what? Spyro fans will kill me for this but oh well.

Apart from Fallouts 1-NV (including Tactics) and LA Noire, I also bought The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon twice.

Why?

Because at the time I only had a PS2 and a Wii, and since the Wii was a next gen console I wondered "Oh gee, maybe the Wii will have better graphics!"

A few small things added, LOATHESOME controls.

I wouldn't mind getting it for the PS3 now, I loved that game and still do. But hey, at least it isn't Skylanders Spyro.

The three Mass Effect games.

Mass Effect 1: 6 times. First copy bought with my 360, second bought because the first developed a crack at the centre. Third was the PC version and that was followed by the Classics Edition for the 360 so I could have Bring Down the Sky on disc for the console. Fifth was the version from Games on Demand and lastly I grabbed a second hand coopy of the Limited Edition.

Mass Effect 2: 3 times (kind of). I bought the PC Collectors Edition and the regular version for the 360. Then because I bought Dragon Age II, Bioware gave me a free PC copy of the regular version of ME2.

Mass Effect 3: Twice. The PC Collectors Edition and regular 360 copy.

Also bought all the DLC for both PC and 360 versions.

 

[StormShaun]

Fallout 3/NV for the PC.
Oblivion/Skyrim for the PC.
Battlefield Bad Company 2 for the PC ... twice.

BF BC2 just screwed up ... ON ALL DISCS. Though I was glad to play it on my console back then.

 

[Rblade]

morrowind, it came with one of my earliest pc's. I bought the GOTY version later and last year I got it on steam.

I think thats the only one. Maby Oblivion aswell. This most importantly because I barely ever bought games before steam anyway.

 

[Tropicaz]

New Vegas, FFX, Rome Total War, Need for Speed underground 2. A reasonably odd collection but 4 of my favourite games of all time

 

[Darquenaut]

Bought New Vegas twice, Elder Scrolls: Oblivion twice, Saints Row 3 three times, (1 copy for myself, which I gave to my bro, second copy for myself, third copy for a friend for the holidays), Silent Hill 2 twice (one for the Xbox, one the HD remake.... yyyyeeeah... so much for thinking I didn't have to wait for the reviews of a goddamn re-release).

Also, I've bought the Hitman trilogy (Hitman 2, Contracts, & Blood Money) three times. One for the PC, one for the consoles and bought them individually, and just recently via the HD edition. You're welcome, Eidos.

 

[scorptatious]

Well there's Shadow of the Colossus.

Once for the PS2, once via the Team ICO collection for the PS3.

Friggen love that game.

Also:

MGS3: Snake Eater
The Sly Cooper series via the HD collection
Ratchet and Clank series via the HD collection
And Jak and Daxter series via... yeah, I think you know where this is going.

Plus quite a few games I used to have as a kid I bought again via the PSN and Wii's online store.

 

[antidonkey]

Nothing recently. However, I'm about to buy System Shock 2 for the second time. I let a friend borrow my old copy and the let someone he knew borrow it. It kept getting passed down and now I have no idea who has it. While I'm saddened it is gone, I'm happy that several people got to play that masterpiece. With it being on GoG now, I shall snag another copy.

 

[Bullfrog1983]

The first XCOM game, Enemy Unknown.

 

[RicoADF]

so, the xbox in my house is not mine, and the guy who owns it is moving out soon so i'm making the conversion to PC gaming, which means re-purchasing games i consider to be essential.

which basically just includes all Bioware and Bethesda games (the RPGs at least)

what games have you bought twice

I've bought Company of Heroes 4 times......

#1 - Origional CoH collectors (and got the first expansion later to pair up with it.

#2 - CoH complete pack with both expansions.

#3 - Company of heroes complete pack on steam (big sale)

#4 - THQ humble bundle including CoH which I claimed on a 2nd steam account I created.

Reason? First copy I got obviously to play, 2nd I wanted to play with mates over LAN and wanted tales of valor, was cheaper as complete pack. 3rd copy was cheapie during steam sale for conveniance (slow patching with hard copies) and final was just a bonus I ended up with.

 

[Roxas1359]

Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout New Vegas. All were originally on console, but I rebought them when I got an adequate PC. For ze mods


I also rebought Kingdom Hearts, a few years after I traded it in and got a real hankering to play it again.

Would you count HD releases? If so, then Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, Okami, MGS 1+2, Devil May Cry 1+3.

Spoiler

Curse you for taking my list, but I have some things to add:
Kingdom Hearts Final Mix
Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix +
Ape Escape 2,3, Pumped and Primed
Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMix (Imported it to do videos on it, technically it's me rebuying Final Mix and Re: CoM )
Sonic Heroes
Sonic Unleashed
Sonic 06 (I do LPs of series in order so I have to do this one. T^T)
Final Fantasy XII
Ratchet and Clank 1-3 if HD collections are counted
Ratchet Deadlocked
Megaman Legends 1 and 2 (Glad I repurchased them years ago. They are like $100 used now. >.>)
Luigi's Mansion
Twilight Princess
Super Mario Sunshine
Transformers (2004 Melbourne House game)
Jak and Daxter 1-3 (Again if HD collections count)
Bioshock
Dirge of Cerberus
Sonic Adventure 1 and 2
The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker
Animal Crossing
Destroy All Humans 1 and 2

In hindsight, every game I've own, except a few, I have repurchased in some way, shape, or form. I mainly buy them again because I'm either going to LP them or I already have LPed them.

 

[Daveman]

Oblivion, Bioshock, Prince of Persia sands of time and warrior within, Rome Total War. Got Braid free in an indie bundle when I already had it too.

 

[Carlo One]

I just bought King of Dragon Pass again. I still have the original disc somewhere, but it was worth getting the latest version off of GOG.com for $3 to avoid any potential Windows 7 install issues. This is a completely unique game that I still haven't completely beat.

Neverwinter Nights Complete (NWN and NWN2 plus all expansion packs) is the only other game(s) I've purchased again, partly to have a second CD key set for multiplayer and partly because I had lost the Mask of the Betrayer expansion by leaving it behind in a hotel room a few years back. I still play multiplayer NWN on a weekly basis in a campaign that's been going for 9 years now. In terms of $$ to time/fun ratio, NWN beats everything else I've ever owned.

 

[Mikeyfell]

Tales of Symphonia I bought twice because I broke disk 2 off my first copy =(
Jak 2 I bought 3 times (Once was in the HD collection so I bought Jak 3 and The Precursor Legacy twice as well)
I bought Prince of Persia Sands of Time twice but returned because I found my origination copy.
Shadow Hearts Covenent I bought new when it came out, never played or opened it, sold it for $200, then turned around and bought a used copy for $5 (Epic win)
I bought Record of Agarest war twice just to show support
I own every version of Soul Calibur 2 (So 3 copies)
Beyond Good and Evil, Bought the disk and the HD re release
Resident Evil 4 I have on Disk and digital
I bought Portal and Half Life 2 separately and part of the Orange box

 

[OpticalJunction]

Oblivion, assassin's creed 2, dragon age origins, grim fandango, dungeon siege 2, more I can't remember.

 

[jak1165]

Mass Effect - 4x (1 physical Xbox copy, 1 digital copy, 1 PC copy, 1 used copy to replace the scratched xbox copy)
Knights of the Old Republic 3x (1 Xbox, 1 that came with the Best of PC LucasArts collection, 1 to replace the scratched Xbox Copy
Saints Row 2 and 3 2x (Steam sale and xbox 360)
Jedi Outcast 3x (PC, Best of LucasArts collection, Steam Sale)
Super Smash Bros Melee 3x
Bunch of older games I bought through GoG/Steam/Gametap because my older CDs dont run on my newer pc

Edit: Will absolutely be adding Age of Empires HD. Dat Steam multiplayer support

 

[DirgeNovak]

I do that a lot actually. I buy a game at launch, beat it, trade it in before price drops, and eventually rebuy it when it's dirt cheap.
Plus there's the time when my PC exploded and all I had were a crap laptop and a PS3. I rebought a bunch of games I had on PC for my PS3. Oblivion, Fallout 3, Mass Effect (when it FINALLY came to PS3)...
