I can understand returning to a game after years away due to nostalgia and boredom, but Ive always found it astonishing how whenever there is a new game released there is inevitably a poll made by a user asking how many times people have beaten the gameand to my suprise there are hundreds of people that have already beaten the game more than once. Some 3-4 times despite the game still being relatively new. So for those who do replay games immediately after defeating themwhy? ... Copied to Clipboard!

Im an achievement Hunter so Ill often play through games multiple times to get the beat the game on ultra hard with your nipples hogtied to your hands and such.

If it has a NG+ I will jump right in afterwards, how long I continue to play depends on how much of the crap I collected carries over.

For me, if I'm really, really enjoying a game, then starting a new game+ playthrough right after is a great way to keep the fun going. If the gameplay loop is fun, then I don't care that I've already seen the ending.

Even if I love a game, I usually wait at least a couple years before playing it again.
I'm not really a completionist and I've got a pretty big backlog of games I want to play, so as soon as I finish a game I move on to something else. --- Save for your doomed future ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'm currently playing Nier, so its a given to play it again since i want to get the whole story.
But seriously, if its a game that I had such a great time playing, it just gets in my head and go back to it in a day or two. Did like 6 runs of Elden Ring in a row before I finally had my fill and was able to move on to something else. --- The ball is round, the game lasts 90 minutes. That's fact.

if the game is relatively short, and has fun mechanics, then I sometimes do it.

Depends on the game, but sometimes I'm trying to do challenges or 100% a game, complete NG+ content, or in the case of some games, like Elden Ring, I'm enjoying the gameplay enough that I want to keep going and try some other builds.

Normally I play games only once but I really like it when the second playthrough has a new novelty. The original tomb raiders gave you all weapons with infinite ammo the second time though, just a satisfying cool down lap. Tactics I played a second time because I wanted to try out new classes I didn't use the first time round.

If it has a NG+ I will jump right in afterwards, how long I continue to play depends on how much of the crap I collected carries over.I came in to say this. The Ng+ is the main reason. The first playthrough is about the story and learning the game. The Ng+ is about additional fun stuff. I look at the nioh games, they had it go up to Ng+4. It was all about combat and getting better weapons. I put so many hours into nioh 2 because the combat was just so fun, and there were so many weapons to learn and master. --- this is the way the world works, if you wanna find some quality friends, you gotta wade through all the dicks first... ...

Pretty often tbh. Have done an annual complete run of RTCW for like 5 years now. Last time I did it was a no death run for the third time in my playing it.
Older games are quite easy to just play anytime. For newer games it just depends on purely if I had fun with it. Ive probably played through Cyberpunk at least 5 times now.

I only did that on Resident Evil 4 so I could blast through everything with the Tommy Gun and infinite rocket launcher. Normally I hate new game plus because its super easy and boring, and the story is still fresh in my memory. When I replay a game years later, I try to pick a different build/different story choices, but I usually forget and end up doing the same thing.
