Title: Which Game have you completed the most times?
Post by: bluemeanie on 29 June, 2011, 08:45:03 AM
I suppose I should say excluding old games which had an hour or so playthough otherwise I'm back to my old fave, Rebelstar Raiders on the ZX Spectrum which I've done on the hardest level about 100+ times

For me it's actually the Wolverine game. Did the neutered and MUCH shorter version on the wii. Got the uncaged version for the pc when I upgraded my machine as I was pissed the wii version had zero violence or sentinel action and am currently half way through my 4th playthrough on that edition. Other than this one I cant think of a game of decent length I've played through more than twice. Even Batman has only had two work throughs and I'm still being precious about the Mass Effect games wanting to play through the whole trilogy once as a single story before I go back and change the plot points or characters in MY version (yeah, sad).

Modern ones? Fallout 3, over and over and over again. Lost count of the number of times I've gone through it, and every single time I find or see something I hadn't seen during the last dozen games.

Old school? Well, I'm with you on Rebelstar (though it's Rebelstar 2 that more frequently garners my attention these days.) But the single game I have played to death the most is definitely Chaos on the Zx Spectrum. One of the all-time greats.

think i've finished halo 3 upwards of 10 times now.
reliable fall back on nights of frustrating gaming, love that game.
For a while there i had got the point where i could finish soulreaver1 on the ps1 in around an hour and a half. Sad i know.

I really need to go back to Fallout3.
Put HOURS in then my save game screwed up on me. Woulda gone back but at the time I think I'd wandered so far off script that I'd been feeling a bit lost anyway

I got bored in Fallout 3. I have the need to collect everything and look everywhere and it's just too big to do that so I get disheartened.

Back on topic, probably Ocarina of Time, 3 or 4 times. Oddly enough I started playing again on the Wii round the girlfriends house last night.

SNES Link to the Past. Its just so well designed I play it every few years.

Newest game was Resi 5 as I played that about 3 or 4 times. I really dont get the hate as its much the same as 4 just a bit sunnier :)

I rarely play a game to 100%- the end of the story mode is usually enough for me, if I even get that far.
Exceptions are Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, whcih I played to 100% and still put on the have a run around the city with (and still play online, obviously).
Lego Star Wars II is the only game I have played to 100% more than once.

Resident Evil 2 at least a dozen times to get all the endings, outfits weapons and stuff and Metal Gear Solid to enjoy all the lengthy cut scenes many times. Overall probably Toejam and Earl : Panic on Funkotron, man I'll need to look that one out again. Anyone got a copy and a mega Drive?

With the exception of shoot-em-ups and the like, where replaying is the whole point, I very rarely replay games. Unless you need to do it again on hard to get an achievement or something stupid like that.

The only exception I can think of is the first Resident Evil which I could stick on and blast through in a couple of hours.
Title: Re: Which Game have you completed the most times?
Post by: Greg M. on 29 June, 2011, 11:53:12 AM
Actually, the one I forgot about is the original Alone In The Dark. I play that one through about once a year, just because I enjoy the story and the ambience. It's like returning to a dog-eared, well-thumbed favourite tome. Oh, and Resident Evil 4 - same reason.
Title: Re: Which Game have you completed the most times?
Post by: JamesC on 29 June, 2011, 01:26:34 PM
Definitely Bruce Lee on the Spectrum. In my school it wasn't so much a question of could you complete the game but how many times had you completed it in a single sitting. Easiest end of game boss ever!

Other than that it's probably Rogue Leader on the Gamecube. I've saved the galaxy a few times on that - escaping from the second Death Star is a sod though!
Title: Re: Which Game have you completed the most times?
Post by: Mudcrab on 29 June, 2011, 01:31:01 PM
Most played would be Oblivion (600 hours), although only "completed" it once. Never got into Fallout, every time I got into a fight I was all like "Where the hell is my sword?".

Most times finished would probably be Portal. Manic Miner might count but that would be "almost finished" a million times.

Currently on 2nd run through Mass Effect. Got the second one but can't stop the first one. I guess I'm just an achievement whore  :D

Another finished several times (with all the different characters) would be Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2 on the PS2. Best game (like that) ever, fuck all that popular girly skateboard crap.

Resident Evil 1 (but the gamecube remake, never could finish the original PS1), 2, 3, Code Veronica & 4. With the exception of 5 (and all the gun survivor spin offs), the greatest video game franchise ever. If only we could say the same about the movies!
Title: Re: Which Game have you completed the most times?
Post by: Dandontdare on 29 June, 2011, 02:44:58 PM
I don't think I've ever finished a game as I'm crap at them. I always reach a sticking point and get frustrated so give up. The Civilization games don't count as they don't have a story-progression as such.

Oh wait, I did finish Quake III a couple of times (on the easy setting, natch!)

Apart from Bruce Lee on the spectrum, it's been the Half Life games, I frigging love 'em.

I WISH they'd get their skates on for Half Life 3 gruddammit!

Spiderman 2 on the Xbox. I've finished the story mode, but not all the side challenges. I'm at 98% overall. I've been playing it on and off for about 6 years. Sometimes I put it on just to websling around Manhattan for a while. I finished Star Wars Battlefront 2 and KOTOR numerous times. I can finish Sonic 1&2 without really paying attention at this point.

Star Wars - Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy.....never get tired of using the force to throw villans of buildings.

Fallout 3 and the lesser known Fallout Tactics...each easily a dozen times.

Jedi Knight 2 and Jedi Knight Academy. HALO Combat evolved, the first Far Cry as well but alas it don't play on my machine, now.

The Resident Evil games , and the one with the most replays was GTA Vice City. I really hope they add it to Xbox Arcade one day. Just to play again for 'cheevos!

Modern games I complete and then move on.
Old games Bruce Lee, speccy and Starquake, speccy. I still play them on the PC emulator I use.

Masters of Orion 2, must have finished that about 50 times over the years started to give my self feeble made up races just to add challange towards the end.
All the Total War games with all the different factions (anywhere from 5 to 20 factions)

I am convinced that I have played through Manhunt 2 across 5 different formats at least 1000 times. That is a conservative estimate.

Truly awful game. Desperately bad. It didn't turn me into a psycho, just contributed towards my hate of the games industry.

Really? I kinda liked the first Manhunt game but mainly due to the awesome Brian Cox voiceover work.
Never tried the 2nd

I'm still playing Master Of Orion II, 14 years after I bought it. I'm surprised no-one's mentioned Dredd Vs Death ? I've played through that quite a few times. I'm always going back to Rogue Leader, TIE Fighter, and the Jedi Knight games. I've also played through the Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale games a few times.

Oh, and Operation Wolf (spectrum again).
Title: Re: Which Game have you completed the most times?
Post by: Mardroid on 30 June, 2011, 11:27:04 PM
As I've played as all the characters, for me it was probably either the two Baldur's Gate Dark Aliance games or the Two Champions of Norrath games. (I'm not sure which I've played the most.)

On the Spectrum games thing, another one you could class as a proper playthrough as it took a LONG time was Skool Daze. Played that thing to death.

Only played through Dredd vs Death the once but have spent HOURS on Judge Dredd pinball. Still trying to get an emulator working that'll let me play it on the ipad

I have and updated(ish) version of this on my PC called Klass of 99. Can't beat the retro. Also have a beefed up Spy Hunter (Highway Pursuit) and Turbo Esprit (Lotus Turbo Challenge).

Probably Robocop on the Amiga. Had it as a kid and it was the first game I think I can remember ever completing, up to that point I'm sure I thought games just went on forever until you lost all your lives. Because I could finish this I did that thing kids do with movies and just played it from start to finish on a daily basis for a while!

More recently I remember playing the first F.E.A.R. through a few times, and usually if I've enjoyed a game I'll try it on each difficulty so wind up going through them 2 or 3 times. Have done that with Gears 1&2 (and separate co-op playthroughs, so have probably finished them more than most). The Max Payne games have had a few runs, and Dead Space took about 6 playthroughs to get all the achievements. It's rare that I enjoy a game enough to do that though.

Football Manager 2006.

Currently at 55 days (yes, days - ie over 1320 hours) of play-time.

The mighty Wolves have won their 15th consecutive Premier League, 14th Consecutive Champions League and 16th Consecutive Leauge and FA Cup Doubles. All with a first team with 14 home-grown players.

Nothing beats the feeling of plucking a 16 year old prospect from obscurity and turning him into a "World Class" player.

My first team still has my second ever signing - Edilson; signed a day after his 18th birthday, and now 35. He's still in the Brazil squad (150 caps) and was World Player of the Year last season.

I have played this game more than all other games combined.

Very seldom replay games once I've completed them, the exception being - like many others have said - Resident Evil parts 1 and 2. Just cos they were so good and you could actually play through them in a couple of hours, once you knew what to do. There is one other game I've played through twice, a little gem called Ico which is just so beautiful and atmospheric and just all around awesome. Its a puzzle-platform kind of thing where you have to guide this girl through a castle in order to escape, trying to open up the path ahead by solving puzzles whilst also protecting her from demons. It's a wonderful little gaming experience. If there's any game I'm likely to plan yet again in the future, its that one.

Metal Gear Solid and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.

The latter is a game I want to pick up at some point. I've read plenty of good things about it. I'm late on board, but that's no bad thing as it's pretty cheap now! (The up to date games are too advanced for my four-five year old Laptop.  )

Halo -Combat Evolved PC version and  FARCRY . They both look pretty good on my Computer since I can machine spec them to the max. FARCRY in particular is beautiful to look at and still pretty tough. Those damn Trigens are still wacking me!
