Current Events > Is replay value important to you in a video game?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Assuming the game costs 60$

Unless it's a horror game, replayability is huge for me

These days, the only games I buy are those with near infinite replayability

it depends on the game.

if it's a cinematic game, like one of the Last of Us, it doesn't have to be, as long as it provides at least one great, memorable playthrough.

it's also the same with a lot of RPGs.

if it's a Elden Soulsbornekiro, for example, or a Diablo, then yes, it would need a decent amount of replay value, for me.

Obviously.

~10h singleplayer, story driven games can be an amazing experience, but it's still $60 for 10 hours of gameplay.

And there's very little replay value if gameplay mechanics aren't difficult to master.

The game is good until the game's world stops spinning.

Not in the way youre describing.

Replayability to me is liking it enough to play again someday.

Ive never been much for NG+ or post game. My favorite part of most games is the coming up. Starting from scratch with nothing.

Not really. I like to hit it and quit it.

Yes, but with caveat that the game doesn't require multiple playthroughs.

Some games require you to play multiple times to "unlock" the full storyline (and I don't mean "choose A or B to decide who to side with"), and I just find that excessively tiresome.

Eh, if I can get around 30 hours of a quality game Im happy

I'm 39, I'm lucky to find time to play through a game once now, let alone multiple times.

very unimportant to me, too many games out there for me to care much about re-playability. If you want your game to be exceptionally short and built around re-playability, go for a rogue-lite design philosophy, (but still give me a pretty clear ending point pls).

It factors in, but its not a make-or-break thing. I cant think of many games that I wouldnt want to play again

It depends on the game. If it's a completely story-driven game I'm very unlikely to ever replay it, other games I'll replay multiple times like RE.

I tend to be obsessive about a small number of games, so if I buy something, then I usually will play it multiple times.

No, there are way too many games I have now for me to spend too much time on them like that.

Nope. If the game is fun and memorable then I'll replay it eventually. No need for constant draw like multiplayer

No, not these days. I don't play many games more than once, and if I do, the second time around is usually a long time after the first. (eg. I recently played through the two Stealth Bastard / Stealth Inc games again; but my first time playing them was something like 6 years ago).

I barely have time to finish game once nowadays. Couldn't care less about replay value

Replayability is generally the thing I care least about. I don't play online or multiplayer games and prefer narrative-driven games. Because there are so many games I want to experience, I rarely play them more than once unless I can do so quickly to clean up remaining achievements.

It really depends on the genre. Like I am only gonna play a long ass RPG once, so I don't give a shit about replay value. But something like a shooter or fighting game better have a lot of replay value.

Yup, very important. Thats why sports games are ideal for me, I can play them 11 months pretty much non stop and never get bored.

Absolutely. If a game doesn't have any replayability, it better have A+ gameplay or I'm watching it on YouTube.

I almost never replay a video game. That's time I could be playing a new game.

Depends on the game. I'm entirely content having played Tunic just once, but I also have room in my heart for futzing around in Skate 3 every so often

Absolutely. I am not paying $100AU for a 3 hour game.
