I wouldn't say "to remind myself why I don't play them" so much as "in the hope that I'll enjoy it more this time" - a good example would be Oblivion. To be fair, I enjoyed the early hours of playing this in the previous playthrough but it dragged after I discovered how many Oblivion Gates there were. This time I'm playing with a few mods including OOO and it's been okay. Far, far more challenging. I may still give up once it gets a little tedious but this time - this time! - I'll try to at least finish the story. =x

I'll probably play FFX again... eventually. I'll just block my ears for the storyline.
