Ever start over in a game from the beginning?

Do you usually play a game and realize you made a mistake and just start over from the beginning? I just hav and im just curious if u guys usually do! I usually do often

Please don't post your topics in all caps, thanks. ~Matty

NO
NOT VERY OFTEN
I JUST WAIT UNTIL MY NEXT PLAY THROUGH

Never, im too lazy.

generally with my luck, I'll have been playing the game for a very stretched out amount of time (months and months and months and months). and so i tend to forget where i am, or what i've done. So If say, i've used a gameshark on the game at one point in time, and it inputs something that'll bug the game up.. say, half a year later I'll notice it when i'm about half done with the game and cannot continue any further, due to said bug. In this reference, i'll be starting from the beginning......in about a year or so, when i'm not sick of the game... ..*hearts xenogears anyways*

or i'll just finish the game and start over. that too..

or sometimes i'll just start over because i feel like it.

No...I kind of just realized that I made a mistake and go 'thats life' and press forward instead of wasting time.

Not too often... but i started over on FFVIII 3 times before i finally played to the end.

No. That would be like cheating yourself.

I do it quite often, so I can get a feeling for the game first and then start it for "real".

all the time. actually ive played FF8 about 6 times and i havent even beat it yet because i missed something or thought it would be better if i did something a different way. Im gona get through the game with all the items, all the best magic, all the side quests finished, all the GF's with all of thier abilities complete..... you get the point. this time its gona be perfect

The only games I really start over from the beginning are because I've left them alone for so long, I've lost my flow and I want to start again so I know what's going on and what I'm doing. I did this with FFVI and FFVIII twice ^_^;; And now I'm bored of them again...

It happens, but it's very rare. For example if I missed and item, or something, and it really, really, really bugs me, and I'm not too far in the game, then I start over from the beginning just to get the damn item... :)

Also, as Xander said, if I've lost my flow in the game, then I'll start over again... o_O

I usually play a game twice. Once I go through it without a guide, and then I play through it a second time using a guide and finding all the secrets and beating all the superbosses.

One of the few exceptions is when I played Suikoden II. I started it once, got about halfway through, and then stopped for about a year. I had to restart because I forgot the story. I restarted and decided I would beat the game without a guide, and just go back and get all the stars for the good ending after I'd already finished the game. Well, there's one star in the game that you have to get at a certain point in the game or you can never get again.

So I started over for the third time and got all 108 stars. Go me.

All the time. Also, if I don't play a game for awhile, I'll usually start over, get bored again, and stop playing, just to start a new game later.


This is why I have never beaten Xenosaga.

Often, mainly the FF games though.

Why, thank you. I try. The next step is going to be to integrate the Four Sinistrals from Lufia 1 with that picture so that I'll have a picture of each of them next to each other in both games. It's going to be a bit hard to do and I've just not had the time to start on it yet.
