Poll: Most replays on a single video game?

[Explosm]

About 4th run through of kingdom hearts 1

 

[Jeremiah Parker]

I've played through Mega Man 2 at least 50-75 times, had it when I was 8 or so, bought the collection for GC when I was 25ish, got it for my phone a couple years ago, and I still emu it at damn near 30. Thinking about it, it wouldn't be a stretch to say 100 times, actually.

 

[Proco123]

I played all of the PS2 Ratchet & Clanks about 10-20 times

with each one I was only lacking a small thing like a skill point or a gold bolt.
Apart from Gladiator which I did finish completely

 

[TehAudioSurfer]

Went through Metal Gear Solid 3 over 18 times, didn't do extra difficulties or anything like that, I just loved that damn game.

 

[Argtee]

I've played Morrowind a lot!
I haven't replayed it 40+. That's just...crazy! I do love Morrowind, but if I replayed it 40 times, it might start to get...boring.
Oh,what am I talking about? I'll never find Morrowind boring!

I've probably replayed it 8 or 9 times, but I'm not exactly sure.

 

[GRAPPLION]

I have played the first Half-Life about 20 times all the way through

 

[MiracleOfSound]

I think my most was like 5 replays of Wind Waker.

Wow, I couldn't even get through one. I quit near the end when it mad eme sail around looking for Tri-Force pieces.

OT:

Fallout 3, about 9 characters, 350 + hours.


I've played A Link to the Past almost every year for.... many years.

Heh, yeah. That part was annoying, but after I completed it the first time, it went by really fast in every subsequent playthrough.

Yeah, it was just unfortunate. I loved the rest of the game but I was one of the many who just couldn't stand the sailing, it took forever.

 

[Dango]

I've got a hell of a lot more than 40 replays in both Elder Scrolls: Oblivion and Rome: Total War. Also, I have dozens and dozens of replays with Castle Crasher's, the best (current) Xbox 360 exclusive.

 

[ygetoff]

I've played through Mass Effect twice at this point... which is more than I can say for pretty much any other game. The thing is, I'm not even playing a different character; I'm just playing more to get more of the gameworld.

 

[RobfromtheGulag]

I think that a combination of:
a. Lack of money
b. Quality Game(s)
c. Free Time

Will afford many many replays. I'm dating myself a bit here, and perhaps this isn't possible anymore, but back when I got the PSX as a kid and played Final Fantasy 7 and Metal Gear Solid, I didn't have 50$ laying around to go buy a new game when I was done. Those games were good enough that I'd just play them over and over.

Nowadays I almost wish I could duplicate those conditions so I could replay good games over and over. As it is I usually just end up in a game store or on steam and pick up some new tripe each week.

 

[Qracle]

I easily beat kirby's dreamland on the gameboy over 40 times. It was just one game that I loved as a kid, and I could breeze through it ridiculously fast, sometimes beating 3 or four times in a single car ride. Other than that, I hardly ever replay games. I've been through FFVII four times, and FF2(4) over 5 times.

 

[acklumos]

I've beaten Ratchet: Deadlocked more than 30 times.

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

Starfox 64. Probably killed Andross more times than I've made posts here on the Escapist forums.

Same here

But if we're talking full length multi-hour long games....I've played Prince of Persia The Sands of Time 4 or 5 times.

 

[Julianking93]

Kingdom Hearts II. I've beaten that game at least 8 times.

Metal Gear Solid 2 at least 9 times since I play it at least once a year.

A Link to the Past. Somewhere round 10 times.

Devil May Cry. The first one. About 7 or 8 times.

That's all I can think of at the moment.

 

[lacktheknack]

I'm about to do my thirty second runthrough of Mirror's Edge.

EDIT: That's "thirty-second", or 32nd. What I wrote just looks impossible.

 

[Miumaru]

Either Morrowind, or Duke Nukem 3D. Probably Duke though, since Ive been playing that game forever. First on the PC, then on the N64 (It counts) and now on XBLA.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

40+ times on my most favourite game of all time...

Spoiler: If you know me well, you'll know what is in this spoiler

[HEADING=2]FREELANCER [/HEADING]

I will keep replaying it until the day I tire of it... I probably never will, it just rocks my world XD

 

[emeraldrafael]

I'm going to say Star Wars Battlefront II's "main" story (you as a 501st member). Mainly cuase I wanted to have fun with the invincible cheat and unlimited ammo cheat and wanted to see how many times i can win with the rambo style of taking CPU points on my own.

 

[JackRyan64]

Banjo-Kazooie at least 50. Never gets old for me. Nice little blast of nostalgia
