That one game you can only play once? (Re-playability)

I was watching a movie last night, The Original Saw (The only good one!) and I really came to the conclusion that although this is the third or forth time I've watched it, its the kind of movie that you can really only watch once, mainly becuse of the big twist at the end that reveals everything...

Without giving away too many spoilers for those who haven't finished them, what games do you think are only worth playing through once?

I would say a game like Turok is only worth one play through....the entire game is focused around one objective, and when you reach that objective theres nothing left to do.

Assassins Creed is another brutal one.....Great Game, no replay value

I definitely agree with Bazanger on Skate, it was amazing while it lasted though :)

I didn't even beat it, but I'd say even if I did beat Bully that I wouldn't play it again. I'd also say Crackdown would be one I wouldn't try to beat again because it's much more fun once you have it beaten, and there's not really a story at all.

Alot of it comes down to personal preference. Some people replay RPG's over and over. I, for one, rarely replay any of my games, unless they're just that good (Bioshock, Mass Effect, COD4).

skate (althoug i play freeskate and online a lot, and i mean a lot) assasins creed, bioshock, crackdown

As great of a game BioShock is, I can only play it once. I hear stories of people playing it more than once but nope, not me. At least with Assassin's Creed, I would go around collecting flags that I missed my first time through. Elann2008

You know Bioshock had 2 completely different endings depending on your choices throughout the game, right?

Saints row and skate, i could only ever play Saints once.

bioshock. i had absolutely no want to play that game again once i beat it.hschaf

wow...lots of Bioshock and Skate!

I love Skate, but I don't think I could play through it again, so thats a great example.

Also, I have not finished Bioshock, its on my game to do list :)

I would have to say that games like Guitar Hero 3, Rock Band, and Madden have the worst re-play value. Honestly...who plays those games more than once?tenczas9

actually, funny you should mention that, I've played through GH 2 and 3 quite a few times...Madden as well i've played 6 or 7 seasons

Bioshock and Assassin's Creed.

Mass Effect - Never again.destinhpark

Wow, I played that three times in a row.

Assassins Creed is a prime example of a game you can only play once

and on the subject of saw, they all were meh, i mean hell you could see dudes foot in his pantleg ( after he "supposedly" "sawed" it off ), i :lol: evertime i see it

Army of Two

Gears, Halo 3, Lost Odyssey, eternal sonata are games i can only play once. mass effect Twice. I get bored of games after one play through.bowlerry

ah, hell no

ive played through gears a few times.

Portal is the only game can think of.mrgab

ive played through it many times

[QUOTE="destinhpark"]Mass Effect - Never again.GSU28

Wow, I played that three times in a row.

Ditto

[QUOTE="mrgab"]Portal is the only game can think of.REforever101

Only fun the first time.

Thing about assasins creed is they made it bad for replay... you have to watch the unskippable cutscenes again, you cant play the first levels with all the equipment, you cant save in the middle of missions once youve beaten the game once, the out-of-machine parts are unplayable unless you start the game over, which erases your progress... ug they shoulda done better.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, i can play oblivion over and over again.

[QUOTE="mrgab"]Portal is the only game can think of.REforever101

Portal is amazing time and time again....what a game!

Portal is the only game can think of.mrgab

so true, was fun the first time through, not so much afterwards
