Poll: Do you re-play single player campaigns?

[Giest4life]

The title says it all. Ever since the days of Mario and Doom, I have never played a single-player campaign more than once. If I don't do it on legendary the first time or if I don't get all the collectibles I just say "fuck it" and leave it at that. The only game I ever tried playing more than once was Half-Life but the intro sequence was so long that I scrapped that idea.
It's not that I don't enjoy the game the first time around, I simply can't muster up the curiosity to do it again.

I've replayed the original DOOM trilogy a couple of times. I've replayed Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask about five times each. So yes.

 

[Mike Richards]

To me it's like rewatching a movie, if I like the experience enough then it's something I'll want to experience again. That might not mean that I'll finish it again or that I'll play it in the right order if it has a chapter select, but I'll probably go back to it at some point.

 

[CthulhuMessiah]

It depends. I play COD's campaign once, while I cannot even began to count how many times I beat BioShock, Fallout 3, FNV, and Mirrors Edge.

 

[Fiad]

All the time, I must admit it is a bit more difficult with very very linear games. But I still take pleasure from playing them. I play them in different ways, on different difficulties, sometimes just to go and appreciate the scenery. Are a lot of of reasons to replay a single player game. Just have to find which one fits you.

 

[Bat Vader]

If I enjoy the single player I will replay it. I have replayed GTA IV, Dragon Age: Origins, Mass Effect, and Mass Effect 2 at least four or five times each. I am already on my second play-through of Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

 

[Easton Dark]

Every single one is worth replaying to me.

If I wanted to play through it once, it was obviously fun.

 

[King of Wei]

All the time. About 90% of the games in my collection are single-player only, and I've played each of them around 9, 10 times.

 

[No_Remainders]

Depends.

If it's not totally linear, then yeah, I'll play it a few times.

I can see myself playing Deus Ex: Human Revolution at least five or six times (I've done the original like 12, or something?).

 

[Stuntcrab]

Depends

If it was just plain shoot them here shoot them there. Like call of duty, then no.

If it was perfectly thought out. actually fun. Had a decent story like Metro 2033, then yes.

 

[SoldierC4]

Usually, yea.
Like i'm in the middle of my second play-through of Crysis 2. I hadn't played since it came out, and at the time I had been so angry at Crytek about the game, I basically finished the SP and ducked out. But now that I've come back to it, and I stop judging it based upon my impressions from the first game. I find it's a completely different, yet totally justifiable game in it's own rights.... But boy do I dream of a new Crysis 1.

Also Mass Effect 2, played that about 4 times through. Although ME2 story tends to change based on what actions you take, so I've yet to have a play-through be boring or repetitious. (2 for good and bad morals, and 2 more for playing as fem. Shepard)

 

[zombiestrangler]

Yup, all the time.

 

[vault69]

RPGs I will play multiple times, especially when they are on my PC (i.e. I have played Kotor more than 20 times all the way through.)
Games like Call of Duty, or Battlefield, I will play-through once before engrossing myself in the multiplayer.

 

[Magicmad5511]

I replay everything more then once. Main reason to play on all difficulties. Also many have cool campaigns.

 

[vrbtny]

Fallout 3 - Yes.
Quake 4 : because it is a under-appreciated gem of a game - Yes
Lord of the Rings : Battle for Middle Earth : same reason as above - yes
Fire Emblem GBA : Same reason as above - Yes.
Everything else - No

 

[Ulquiorra4sama]

I tend to play through games several times. That's what replay value is all about. If a game doesn't have that then it's easily forgettable and overall probably not a very good game.

At least that's what i think.

 

[Dirty Hipsters]

Depends on the game. If it's something like Deus Ex I'll replay it tons of times, because there's soo many different ways to play the game, Halo because there's so many little things scattered around the levels, details that you only notice after playing through a few times.

Some games on the other hand, I never replay because they just don't have any replay value, like Bioshock.

 

[Terminate421]

Yearly I play Dead Space and Metroid Prime

 

[LookingGlass]

I own very few games that I've only played through once. Hell I've even played Heavy Rain, which I consider to have almost no replay value, twice.
