I never got this "I wish my memory could be wiped so I can play my favorite game for the first time again" bullshit, I hate most games on a first playthrough, it isn't until the second or third time through that I actually like what I'm playing. Basically, if a game isn't an acquired taste it's slop made to appease the lowest common denominator and if you're impressed on your first time you're a faggot.
I cannot speak for these, niggers, but personally I always become whelmed by the sense of melancholia and it permeates all my replays of every game I love. The best way I could phrase it is, the game feels dislocated in time. There might be astute anons on /v/ who get what I mean. Late night, raining outside, having spoken to friends in a long while, you boot up that classic game you used to be obsessed with, and it's just you suspended animation, who knows if anyone else in the world even played this game this year. It's just you.
>>738225341reddit ahh tier post
>>738225110Because Im not retarded?People who replay games over and over are literally autistic retards.
>>738225402imagine being the nigger
>>738225110Why would you play a game you don't like a second or third time
>>738225110Because they're not good games, you finish them once and experience everything they offer, like movies, and you have retards like >>738225341 crying about the experience, good games are infinitely replayable
>>738225594autism
>>738225610bless you
>>738225594But some movies are so kino to watch over and over. Like Big Trouble in Little China
I don't like replaying games or watching a movie more than once. When I was a child I did those things, but pretty much since my early 20s I think one and done makes a lot more sense. Also never had a backlog either, I just play through what I think looks cool at the moment. I care more about defeating the game and seeing the ending than anything else.
>play a new game? lol>[randomized Zelda again]
I've played every souls game 10+ times except for BB idc. But I rarely ever replay JRPGs, even older ones. I don't ever wanna play Final Fantasies that aren't 1 or 5 again, or Xenoblade. Xenogears I've tried replaying but I just stop after disc one.
>>738225708you're missing the point are you a woman or just retarded?
>>738225110VIDEO GAMES, FAGGOT, VIDEO GAMES!
>>738225110Trvth nvke, there's literally nothing to argue about. You even replied to your own question at the end.
>>738225537Sometimes a game can be so good you feel frustrated for not getting it at first. The best works are the ones that challenge your perspective and change you.
>>738225110>I never got this "I wish my memory could be wiped so I can play my favorite game for the first time again" bullshit, I hate most games on a first playthroughThis is a false consensus you are using for your judgement of others' viewpoints. There are many people who do not feel the same. Many enjoy the games' experience(s), simply wishing they could experience them again for the first time without the hedonic treadmill making it not as enjoyable the first go around.>if a game isn't an acquired taste it's slop made to appease the lowest common denominatorThis is a false dichotomy using "slop" as loaded language to make your subjective view of how enjoying a game look bad for others who share said viewpoint. How would you know if "appealing to the lowest common denominator" is true? You can not because it is epistemologically ambiguous based on your own terms.>if you're impressed on your first time you're a faggot.Association fallacy with an Ad Hominem.
Depends on why you love the game right? RE4 is fun to replay because the focus is on the combat, so if anything replaying it makes it more enjoyable because you can try out different weapons and approach familiar situations from different angles.Something like Ico might not be as replayable because there's a stronger emotional component to most people's enjoyment of the game, and you might get diminishing returns on that enjoyment the more you replay it.
I replayed WW, MM, TP and OoT multiple times.
If a game has a "playthrough" it's junk.
>>738226045You had no point?
>>738225708>Big Trouble in Little Chinaextremely based taste. he's so hot in that one
third playthrough of outer wilds it gets really good
>>738225110>I hate most games on my first playthroughI'm pretty sure this isn't normal lol
>>738225110I play on PC so my backlog is massive and I dont have time to even finish the games I want to play let alone replay them
Faggotest op of the day award
>>738225110You have autism. That doesnt mean youre worse than anyone else, but it also doesnt mean that youre better than anyone else
>>738225110>I hate most games on a first playthrough>until the second or third time through that I actually like what I'm playingso you exclusively play games you dislike?Have you ever considered you don't actually like games? because you don't like games and are just fucking retarded and forcing yourself, sounds like you just enjoy stockholm syndrome
>>738225110I only play a videogame until I finish it, no matter the ending (if there are multiple endings). If I don't remember something or I want to watch an alternate ending, I watch a youtube video or read wikipedia. I do this with books, movies, anime and manga too.
>>738229742Based
>>738225110I'd rather just play a new game. I do play games multiple times for different modes/difficulties/completion, but once I'm done, I rarely go back and replay, maybe after like a decade once I've forgot most of the game.
>>738225110I think once you realize that the average normalfag doesn't play singleplayer games for the gameplay, all of it makes sense. Most of them aren't exactly interested in games to master them or actually enjoy them as games. They treat them as "experiences". They only like them because of story and graphics. That's it. They'll beat a game once and then never play it ever again. It's as if games are completely disposable to them. Though to be fair, I wouldn't care about this if it weren't for the fact that these people are the majority of gamers now, meaning that developers have to design games around these retards. It's why we end up with so many modern games being complete snorefests with constant scripted segments and handholding that leave almost no room for replayability. RE9 was like this; it has absolutely ZERO replay value, which is beyond sad considering we're talking about Resident Evil here. I really think a lot of problems with modern gaming exist precisely because of these people. It's grim, but what can you do about it.
>>738225110Let me tell you something: if you've only beaten a game once, then you are so fucking clueless about that game that it's like you never played it at all. The second and third playthroughs are ten times more valuable than the first. They let you see the game for what it actually is.It's also fun to play a game again and realize how much your approach has changed since the first playthrough. In fact it's not the same game at all.If you're actually a video game enjoyer and not a mindless consoomer NPC, then this feeling of replaying games and seeing them under a different light should be FUN to you. It's what video games are all about.
99.9% of games are not worth 50 hours and 0.001% of them have enough content to justify 100Just because you have nothing valuable in your life to be doing doesn't mean everybody else works that way
>>738231634Replay value to me means just beating it multiple times when you initially play it. I'm still not just going to randomly pick up a game I've already fully experienced unless I'm on some kind of nostalgia trip. If anything I think story-based games are more replayable as they create more nostalgia and personal connection, whereas if I've already 1CC'ed or beat highest difficulty or whatnot, why the fuck would I care to play that game again unless you're some kind of autist/speedrunner?
>>738225110You're autistic, if you actually liked a game the first time you played it and didnt lack the ability to have empathy you'd know why people would want to experience something for the first time again
>>738225110>I hate most games on a first playthrough, it isn't until the second or third time through that I actually like what I'm playing. Basically, if a game isn't an acquired taste it's slop made to appease the lowest common denominator and if you're impressed on your first time you're a faggot.Great bait

>>738233920this is the truth but this board is full of browns who correlate dollars and hours played and won't buy unless it goes over some arbitrary amount like 60 hours.
>>738234490Meh.. I already do everything I want with the gameplay before dropping it and moving on. I guess I have replayed a few games from my childhood, but I just genuinely have zero interest in replaying a game unless I have a nostalgic connection to it, and that's a lot more linked to story/atmosphere/vibes than purely gameplay. Also, maybe this is somehow me in the minority, but I've beat probably 1000+ games in my lifetime, and I barely remember most of them over the years, beyond the general feelings they gave me, major plot points/twists, and maybe just some random assorted memories, but most of the details are lost or all fuzzy and blend together.
>>738234243>refusing to indulge retards means you lack empathyFuck off. Those people are just manchildren who just decided to form their opinion on a game based on random vibes at the time and they know that replaying it won't have the same vibes again.The reason why they're explicitly afraid of replaying the game is because they know that their thoughtless, vibes-based opinion is based on absolutely nothing and the replay would shatter it to a million pieces. That's what it comes down to. How about instead of doing that, you do some introspecting and grow up, you writhing little bitch.
>>738225110Nier Automata is a good example of a great game that isn't replayable. Some games just don't have replayability; could be because the game relies on twists (mystery games) or too long (jrpgs). Either way some games are designed to it's one singular experience while some are designed for multiple playthroughs
>>738225402>ahhkill yourself
>>738225402You can just say ass you underage faggot
Not a nigger, but there are far too many good games to play for me to replay games much.Plus, replaying a game too many times would make me sick of it and I don't want that.
>>738225789this but with doomcorruption cards + map packs are enough to keep me entertained for years
>>738225110Why do you watch useless pointless grifter autism youtube videos? Why do you feel the need to post them here along with your faggot opinions?Stupid retarded faggot.
>>738232708this is very noticeable with action and arcadey games. in certain cases like the nioh games it feels 100% intended to be part of the whole experience.sometimes tho for me one playthrough is enough. my backlog has become so big i get antsy about it. need to get rid of that mentality...
>>738225110Because if you aren't a moron you'd do everything there was to do in the game already. You'd see every dialogue, collect every item. You'd do every single possible thing the game can give you until there's nothing more. How aren't you even say a game is good if you aren't willing to do that the first playthrough?The people that enjoy "replays" often never did this at all. They rushed the game and go straight to the ending just so that they have extra stuff to do the second time around. They're intentionally only playing half a game so they can pretend playing the other half is a "replay" but its just doing the shit they skipped the first time. In some instances its acceptable like big RPGs it can take insane amounts of tries to truly say you've done every playstyle and build.There's other exceptions for games with big routes/choices that can't be done in one game start to credits run, but to be the subsequent runs would still be IMO apart of the main playthrough anyway. Also NG+ content isn't really a second run either like something like the Ratchet and Clank series challenge mode is not something I'd consider a second replay.Either way you should be able to enjoy a game to its fullest on your first time playing it and you should actively be aiming to do all it can in that first play. The only reason you should ever replay a game is after a large amount of time all those things you did to 100% the game aren't fresh in your memory so you can enjoy doing it again. You shouldn't get any more joy the second time as its doing the same shit you did before.
>>738225110The trend of at least the past decade has been overly long games. I would replay an 4 to 8 hour game again and again because those games pacings are fantastic enough to play again because they tend to have zero "that part".A 50 hour game with 10 hours of story missions and 40 hours of filler, not so much.See it like movies vs tv shows. I would much faster rewatch a 90 to 120 minute movie then that I would rewatch a 10 season show
>>738237140>You'd see every dialogue, collect every item. You'd do every single possible thing the gameIf a game even allows you to do all this on a single playthrough then it's probably casualized checklist slop
>>738240069Most NES games are casualised checklist slop?
I wish I could wipe Void Stranger and Astlibra from my memory and play them all over again.
>>738240907What? NES games aren't even structured like the types of games (You) described in (You)r own post. You think this is an own against me? Bizarre argument.
>>738242494What did I describe, exactly?
>>738225110You have already seen it all. There's no sense of discovery, no new mechanics to learn, you've solved all the puzzles and beaten all the challenges.A beaten game is like a museum. You can just stroll through it and try to remember the good times, but mostly it will just make you nostalgic for the fun you used to have playing it.Unless you are severely autistic and used to just watching the same safe TV shows on repeat forever.
OOT is replayed constantly
>>738225402>ahhYes, cum for me you little slut.
But I don't. I like coming back to my favourite games every so often. It's cool to see yourself to better than before, find secrete you missed, details you didn't pay attention to before or just enjoy fun gameplay. The only people who go on angry rants about the idea of replaying a game are mindless normalfags who just want to consume product and move on to the next product so they can later say "Yeah, I played X" for online likes.
>>738225402uncs be maldin at this post :skull: :skull: :skull: go to bed gramps lmaooook
>>738242740NES games don't have you collecting dialogues; items maybe, but not in the way that they're tracked as some kind of completion mark. And most NES games have time limits, so if there are any special collectibles, they are most likely secrets - you either know where they are or you don't. Otherwise just move on. You don't look for all secrets on your first playthrough, you don't babysit a fucking save file and keep collecting random shit until "there's nothing left to do". That's not how NES games work, retard.
>>738243391>collecting dialoguesYou can still trigger all cutscenes or talk to every NPC where applicable.>items maybe, but not in the way that they're tracked as some kind of completion markThe game doesn't need to track them itself for the player to know when the game has been 100%ed.>You don't look for all secrets on your first playthroughSpeak for yourself.
>>738225110if I know the story it's not interestingthere's many games to play, replaying is wasting your life
>>738225110>I hate most games on a first playthrough, it isn't until the second or third time through that I actually like what I'm playing.But why?If I'm not having fun with the fun machine then I will drop it. Why would you waste your time with something you don't even like? To feel cool for liking a bad game or something?As for the rest, I don't replay games I do enjoy that often since I got the experience and would like to try other games as well. If the game is designed to be replayed, or some time down the line I get an itch, then I might give it another pass through, but it isn't a priority.
