[Pelao]

According to the save files on my PS3, I've finished MGS4 16 times.
And actually, it's a bit more, since I finished it a handful more times in Japanese on an old account.

Anyway, MGS4 wouldn't be my most replayed game, as I replay the franchise annually, so it should really be MGS1, followed in smaller numbers by each sequel, but this is the only game for which I have some concrete numbers.

At the time it came out, MGS4 was so far ahead of anything else, it helps that it had a lot of deep gameplay and unique interactions.

Most recently would have to be Monster Hunter World. It was the first Monster Hunter game I ever played. Everything about the game was brand new to me. Upgrading armor and weapons and learning which armor to use aganist which monster. Learning which items to craft that were the most useful. All that basic gameplay was overwhelming for me because it was all brand new.
I would hunt for hours with different weapons until finally I decided to just pick one and master it. I chose the long sword and began using it exclusively.

When I was rather new to the game I would fail quests a lot. It was frustrating.... but I kept improving. I would roll the credits and start a new character. With each new character I would get better at the game. That is a huge reason why it was so much fun and I stuck with it for so long. I went from failing quests regularly to being able to solo any monster the game threw at me!

 

[Drake]

Resident evil 4. I've probably beaten it like 4 or 5 times. It's the reason I didn't buy the remake. I've played it so much I just have no interest in going through it again despite how good the remake is. Probably even more than that would be Half Life 2. Probably beaten that like 7 or 8 times. I never get sick of that game though. I actually haven't done a play through in like 5 or 6 years. I need to go back to that.

 

[Markio128]

I haven’t got a clue, but it was probably a game from the Spectrum 48K/Commodore 64 days, when games were relatively short.

 

[ReyBrujo]

Replay as from beginning to end? Probably Super Mario Bros. Replay as for coming back again and again? Genesis, a MUD, my character is over 1300 days old in around 10 years of playing (say, 6-7 hours per day during 10 years).
(Edited: Besides the MUD I played the heck out of Captain Tsubasa 2 back in the day to grind teams and for passwords).

 

[Isa]

That's tough. One specific game... if only I could tell lol. I'd wager something from my childhood back when I didn't have many options so replays were mandatory. I'd wager,
Centipede(C64)
Gunship(C64)
Mario 3
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Sonic & Knuckles
Shining in the Darkness
Shining Force
Road Rash 3
Streets of Rage 2
Golden Axe 1+2+Revenge of Death Adder(arcade&emu now Astro City retro)
Mechwarrior 2 + Ghost Bear's Legacy & Mercenaries(so many damn replays I was obsessed with the lore and mechs, would make lego mechs etc lol)
Resident Evil 1 & 2 PS1
Timsplitters 1-3(I'd wager thousands of hrs with friends, especially with that zombie/infection mode lol)
Jane's Navy Fighters, Advanced Tactical Fighters and the two Longbow Apache sims on PC with my Dad, countless hrs over years
Heroes of Might and Magic 2
Wing Commander series and spinoffs(Strike, Privateer)
Spelunky
Guilty Gear one of the editions on PS2 and I think Xbox & all of the Dead or Alive franchise across Xbox & PS ecosystems including Xtreme Beach Volleyball games, which incidently makes me sad because I miss having easy ways to play them, my gf also really likes them as they are like perfect summer vacation dream game getaways, so beautiful and fun.

Nice thread, sorry to list spam but seriously so much gaming over the years that kind of fade over time its hard to nail down. Funny I don't game as much anymore though, and when I do I wish "they" made games more like the auld days.

Edit: for forgetting Wing Commanders.

Do you have the Starcraft Remaster? And if yes do you like it?

 

[Topher]

Do you have the Starcraft Remaster? And if yes do you like it?

Yes, it is fantastic.

 

[amigastar]

Yes, it is fantastic.

Cool, i'm gonna install it right away, never really played it but i bought it when it came out. I've heard good things about Starcraft the first one.

[ReyBrujo]

lol, reminds me of a technical support guy who would edit the .txt file with the data (for the Windows Solitaire) whenever he lost so that it didn't count.

Chess

Oh, dang, that's true, nearing 20k games at chess.com

 

[poppabk]

Final Fight - finished it at least twice in the arcade, and then at least 5 times since then across multiple emulators, ports etc.

 

[Hero_Select]

Probably Zelda OoT.

Mass Effect 2 also is up there.

Came in here to post the same exact two games lmao. Great tastes

 

[LavitzSlambert]

RE4 for sure. Halo, Shadow of the Colossus, Paper Mario, Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and Pokemon Red/Blue are up there as well.

 

[intbal]

lol, reminds me of a technical support guy who would edit the .txt file with the data (for the Windows Solitaire) whenever he lost so that it didn't count.

I still use WinXP.
Twenty years of playing the same game tends to add up.

 

[omegasc]

Streets of Rage 2

 

[saintjules]

Suikoden 1.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

The first Contra on NES probably takes it.
Also lots of Life Force, SMB3, Sonic 2, Streets of Rage , 2, Mega Man 2, 3 X and X4. Castlevania SotN, Aria of Sorrow and some others but those stand out the most.

As for more recent games, Demon's Souls PS3 and Bloodborne.

MGS 1-3
Resident Evil 4
SMB 3
Breath of Fire 3+4

Resident evil 4. I've probably beaten it like 4 or 5 times. It's the reason I didn't buy the remake. I've played it so much I just have no interest in going through it again despite how good the remake is.

You really should though.
I'd played OG RE4 10+ times and the remake was fucking amazing. Played it several times back to back.

There is just too many to list and too many hours sunk into those games I cannot zero down to just one. Franchise wise it definitely Halo though.

 

[Musashipan]

Team fortress 2 - 1440 hours
Killing floor 2 - 1220 hours

 

[tmlDan]

my most played game ever is either WoW or Dota 2 cause i had a lot of time as a teen/uni student.

Play time on WoW was 1 year and 12 days on one character and over 6k hours on Dota 2.

stopped playing both a long time ago

 

[The_hunter]

Haven't played it yet, but considering how cutscene heavy I heard the game is, that's pretty surprising and awesome!

Congrats on the zero alerts too.
I'm dogshit at stealth games, can't even imagine how you could do that.

I remember a cutscene in-between acts that was 40 minutes long.

MGS4 has really good stealth mechanics, they give you lots of tools to avoid detection. It's not too daunting. From my memory, only the last level was tough to get no alerts.

 

[WX3]

Half-Life 2. I like to do an annual run and have since 2004.

 

[poodaddy]

MegaMan X, easily, if we're not counting fighting games. If fighting games count, then SF3 Third Strike and Soul Calibur 2 are probably matched.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Shadow of the Colossus, but only because it was the only way to be able to climb to the garden of Eden.

Other than that, I see no reason to replay games.

 

[KimDongHwan]

If runs of Slay the Spire counts, then that.

Else I think I finished Sonic the Hedgehog 2 multiple times as a kid (getting all emeralds in first 2 stages) and a couple of times as an adult too

 

[StreetsofBeige]

I almost never replay SP modes in games over and over again, unless it's an old school 30 minute arcadey game. So if that counts, I'd say:

- Contra 3
- Axelay
When I had an SNES, I must had beat these games every week.

But for MP gaming and replayable games like sports and strategy games, I'd say my most played games in history are:

- COD 4 (including Remastered version)
- COD World at War
- Heroes M&M 3 Complete Edition
- Wayne Gretzky II on PC (old ass Bethesda hockey game from like 1991)

 

[Type_Raver]

Typical games I come back to over the years vary in frequency, and heres some that i can recall:

- DKC
- Yoshis Island
- Ninja Gaiden II (NES)
- Super Mario 64
- Fzero X & GX
- SMB3
- Half Life 2 (recently started Black Mesa, HL1 remake)
- Zelda OoT, and from time to time try restarting Zelda MM but get frustrated quickly and move on)
- Street Fighter II, III, various versions.

 

[wyvern_bloodfist]

The Immortal - 100 times finished
Alundra - 100 times finished

*There are others but its a long list.

 

[IAmRei]

- Metroid series, to the point each year must be finished once.
- ff tactics, lost counts
- RE 4-6, lost counts as well
- zelda minish cap, about 5-6 maybe, soon will be botw as well
- far cry 3 about 4 times
- torchlight 2 5 times
- titan quest, 2 times, finished by long drag timeline

 

[darth.shrimp]

Either Tales of Symphonia (at least twice on the GC back in the days, then 100%'d it on Steam which took 4 complete playthroughs and most of a fifth one), or Guardian Heroes. Add Trials of Mana to the list if I combine the original and the remake.

 

[Knightime_X]

Doom 2 pc with mods probably thousands of hours throughout the years

 

[existensmaximum]

Super Mario Bros 3, Super Mario World, Sonic the Hedgehog or Day of the Tentacle. I'll never get tired of those games!

 

[Fess]

That’ll be something on C64 or Amiga without saving.

Some of these:
IO
Delta
Turrican
Battle Squadron
Rick Dangerous
The Last Ninja
Giana Sisters
Shadow of the Beast 1,2
Zynaps
Krakout
Silk Worm

 

[Jesb]

The first Last of us and probably RE4. I’m also including the RE4 remake which I plan to replay I’m sure several times. Might very well be the two best games ever made.

 

[ahtlas7]

Max Payne 2
Kameo
Halo
Red Faction Guerilla / Re-Mars-Tered

 

[TintoConCasera]

As a kid I had no money for games so I had to replay those my brother would get, mostly N64 games like Zelda OOT, Banjo, Perfect Dark... and specially Starfox/Lylat Wars 64.

In more recent years, I'd say my most replayed games are DOOM (93), Metal Gear Rising and Dragon's Dogma.
