Does anyone else constantly restart their favourite games from the beginning?

[theundeadhero]

I did play through Ace Combat 5 a lot. That game is still awesome.

[Garnie]

allways!
im very repetetive!

[Kossage]

Well, there are some games which I just like to play through again and again every once in a while. For example, Tie Fighter and X-Wing Alliance are great for that kind of stuff, Fallout 2 and Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns can be quite addictive at times (and in Fallout's case it's advisable to play the game through more than once because of different plots taking place which depend on your actions, your moral stance and other kinds of stuff), and Seiken Densetsu 3 can be fun too if you're in a proper mood. But yeah, it depends on the game whether I'm going to play it through again or not.

I like replaying my favorite games every now and then, but I don't think I try getting to a certain spot in one sitting. Though usually if I've played the game countless times, I can get reasonably far.

[Necron]

Any of the Final Fantasy's. Often, i play them, then i just, can't be bothered to play again, and then when i come back to play it, i end up loading my save and thinking 'where am i meant to go now? Did i collect all the secrets in this save or not? I better start again just in case'. Even if i promise myself not to get bored and stop playing, it just seems to happen.

In some video games I end up restarting from my last save point if I do something wrong in some way, that may make my record look a little sour at the end of the game. (Metal Gear) Most of the time, the last check point happens to be the intro of the game. So yeah, I do constantly restart my favorite video games.

[Psychotic]

Metal Gear Solid 3. Probably played through the damned thing somewhere around 20 times, although maybe that is because I can beat it in under 2 hours.

I play through Drakengard alot from chapter 1 all the way to 13.

[Rengori]

If I didn't, I wouldn't base replay value on how bearable the first few hours are.

[daggertrepe]

Not me, I'm a save point fanatic.

Me too.

I do that if im trying to lvl weapons

[Ouch!]

Only if I feel like there's something I didn't accomplish the first time around. For example, I replayed both of the Kingdom Hearts games a second time to get 100% completion. I started a second file of Final Fantasy XII to do the same (although I got fed up when I'd almost finished everything up and just moved on). I recently completed a play through of Twilight Princess in which I found all the heart pieces. Of course, now I can't be bothered with getting all the poes and golden bugs as well as completing the Cave of Ordeals a second time, so I just went back to the first file and picked up the one heart piece I was missing. I've also replayed Final Fantasy IX multiple times (more than any other game I've ever played by a long shot).

More often than not, I'll get bored and play through something only to abandon it half way through the game.

I just use one weapon through the whole game. I enjoy killing the soldiers more than the weapon leveling.
