I am some how incapable of replaying games

[sora91111]

I don't know why, but once I beat a game I can't go back and play it. The same goes for books, and it bothers me sometimes. Is something wrong with me?

Not really, if thats what your like then thats that.

I personally can replay games a few times because I like to find things I missed or in some cases (like FF12) it can help me to understand the storyline better. I love me a good story.

i cant really replay linear games, although i play to replay mass effect closer to mass effect's release.

EDIT: mass effect 3 to be exact XP

Some things are unbelievably replayable for me, and some are just atrocious. A couple brilliant examples are Morrowind, which I've made well over a hundred different characters on, and Portal 2 which I could barely even be bothered to finish. It took alot of boredom to convince me to come back and finish, let me tell you that.

Depends on the game for me. Games with fun, fast replay like Prototype or Saint's Row 2 are no problem. Slow grindy replay like most RPG titles is like pulling teeth.

Yeah, I'm the same way. I think it comes from the realization that while I'm replaying an old game there are new games I've purchased and not completed gathering dust.

You can't even replay Magicka? Portal? Portal 2? Half Life?

I have the same issue. Freeroaming games like Fallout 3 and mmos help but there are still limits to what you can explore. Right now I counter the feeling by going onto non rpg mmo's and try to socialize with the populace.

Generally I don't either unless it's a racing game or a good shooter, those I can play more than once thankfully.

Nope, I can't bring myself to enjoy the exact same again a majority of the time. I can greatly enjoy an RPG the first time through but just get stuck wondering why I'm playing it if I try to do a second playthrough.

Even these because once I know the story and beat the extra content, if I start it up again I just feel bored.

You're fine.
Compare I can barely even finish games, before I get bored and want something different.

The boredom usually sets in after I master a winning tactic that works most of the time.

I have the opposite problem.

 

[xxmyhero64xx]

Nah I'm more of the same too. Except I've played the mass effect games to death but that's it.

I can replay games, depending on the replay value, but I can't reread books either. Never could.
