do you?

how often?

after what period of time?

is replayability somthing important you look for in a game?

now that I think about Ive barley replayed any of my games, even though I always have the intention too,

I think I really want to replay ME3, which is insane because I only finished it weeks ago..usually I'll wait a few months...but I dont know, I just dont feel like playing anything else right now. Ive been playing the multiplayer but I dont want to do that anymore

and then I tried replaying ME1...with the intention of a decent looking femshep (which obviously didnt work out...anyone knows how to get a good one in ME1 please let me know)

Nope.

Very rarely.

A long time (see below)...

Nope.

Alright, with the questions answered, I very very very rarely replay through games (nor buy the HD remakes that seem to be the rage currently). The vast majority of the time, I'll begin replaying a game ONLY after a ton of DLC has come out and has gone on sale (Fallout, Mass Effect, Dragon Age). This makes my gullible self think that it's a new game.

I replay Persona 4 whenever I have no other games to play. Baist Gaem Evar and all that. But I have no PS2 at the moment... Maybe that anime version is worth a second look? My "why would I watch Persona 4 if I can play Persona 4?" logic doesn't hold up if I don't actually have the means to play it DX

Watching an LP is never as good, even when it's the Persona 4 Endurance Run

Game: "Does it live at the shrine?"

Vinnie: "These are not the questions i'm asking about the Mysterious Fox..."

And i've always got an Ace Attorney game on standby, either to play a bit during loading screens or to actually sit down and get a proper session going

I need to go on with my second ME3 playthrough as well, I need to finish Catherine (i'm right before the final boss fight I think. Unless Atlus are gonna pull a Persona 4 on me) and continue with Bayonetta on Hard Mode.

Fuck it's hard...

Yes, yes I do.

And sometimes it can be rather often. And the weird thing is, there's times where I'll replay immediately. Not even a few weeks of waiting inbetween, nope. Right away.
that doesnt feel right somehow...yet...

I dont know, I was just trying to play batman AA and I just wasnt feeling it...

Hmm. Well it is kind of weird that I do that since I did just play the game and know everything that will be going on. But the thing is I can really get into playing the game. I mean I'll pour countless hours into it in a single week and beat it quite quickly. And when I get... obsessed... like that it's so easy to go back to playing the game again since I still want more. I mean, it's after that kind of behavior that I usually find that I replay a game immediately. Also sometimes just having other options gets my curiosity going.
yeah...I think thats exactally how I feel about ME3

and I dont feel like stating from 1 because Ive played ME2 waaaay to many times at this point

I think I feel a little sad there wont be another game that has those exact combination of elements that make me love ME so much

I do it frequently, especially if it's a favourite. Sometimes I'll start a new game right after an old one. Speaking of this, I need to replay LA Noire! :)

I have played inFamous 2 four times in the span of a month, that's about once a week. I also did roughly the same thing for god of war 3 and am planning to go through final fantasy xiii in a bit.

Yes

Whenever i play a bad game i will usually play a good game after.

depends on the game, can be a couple of days

I dont look for it, but its a good quality for a game to have

I have replayed Diablo 1 & 2 countless times, half-life series, Morrowind, Oblivion, Kotor 1 & 2 etc.
Its nice to know that when you play a game that was a let down or just down right awful that you can always go back to the favourites to restore your faith in the gaming world.

Depends how much I like the game. I replayed DA:O like 2 more times after I finished it, and then again when the expansion came out, then once more (including all DLC) before DA II came out. I also did all the DLC and expansions on saves that I did before they came out. Yeah I like DA:O >.>
Mass Effect 1/2 I replayed once straight after finishing and then again a few months later. CoD4 I play every so often (the single player) whenever I get the itch to play it for some reason.

If I really like the game I'll probably play through it once more straight after finishing it (within the next 24 hours, it varies)
Sometimes I only get half way through though and loose the desire to play it and never play it again.

Yup. Depends. Depends.

Some games I will play over and over right away if I like enough. I played Demon's Souls 3.5 times in a row (.5 was for getting the rest of the trophies). Dark Souls, MGS4, DA2 are some others I did. That doesn't always work out, though, even if I like it a lot and want to play it again.

Sometimes it's just been a while. Just finished another go at FF5 last week and FF9 a few weeks before that. I will also probably play Legend of Dragoon again when it comes out on PSN next(?) week.

I have the Ico/SotC collection and I never played Ico, so I will play SotC again when I get to them.

I believe it is, makes the social links look like a joke sometimes, he gets like half of 'em done in one 22 minute episode. but it is worth a look. It defiantly satisfied my P4 craving.

OT: Yes.

Every now and then.

Depends on the game, sometimes a few days, sometimes a few weeks, sometimes a few months.

Not really.

I do enjoy replaying a game I liked, hell I've even played through Fable's 2 and 3 a few times.

I replay games all the time...Well after i did a playthrough i may decide to do another in say 6months or something. I can't really replay a game just after i completed it.

Then use the ME2 to ME1 converter to switch it back.

I did actually try it with one (no mods or anything needed) it gives you the numbers on the sliders...she didnt quite look the same

but I might just tweak it more

its funny I can spand an hour in charachter creator and she looks exactally the same as every femshep I've created before
