Hi everyone. I'm looking for a game with a lot of replayability. Any suggestions? - Games

Glad to be here first off, but the real reason is to ask this question. I consider myself a hardcore gamer, in which only a few games really make me say "wow" and make me feel like it was a good purchase, but most of the times it's not the case, which is why I come here. So, what's a game with a good replayability? I wanted to get Borderlands GOTY edition but I here a lot of people here say it gets boring after the first playthrough, which is not what i'm looking for. I don't want to get a game that I will put on my shelf collecting dust after the first playthrough, so think wisely before listing some good games. Thanks in advance.

Elder Scrolls series, especially Oblivion with mods

Stalker series. Mount and Blade. Fallout. Minecraft.

Mass Effect

Is Borderlands really boring after a first playthrough? Because I don't want a game that I will put away after a first playthrough.

Most of the Fallouts, and from what I've heard Mass effect too

Deus Ex

You have 4 characters, which are different in almost everything. Besides, since you want to buy GOTY, you will have 4 very big DLCs, and with the main game and all DLCs you are going to complete all of it in very long time. Also coop. BTW, thanks for reminding me about Borderlands, gonna play it again, still didn't complete Claptrap's Robot Robolution.

Civilization series, not shooter, but trust me, its a GREAT time waster.

The Dark Mod, it's a mod for Doom 3 that makes it like Thief, I have spent countless hours on it and the map maker is quite nice. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1HCS0eDsR0[/media] Also ignore the name, I like the series a lot but I am not some spammer.

Fallout: New Vegas has quite a bit of storyline arcs so that. Always fun to make a new character with a different specialization set and then follow a different storyline arc. [editline]9th June 2011[/editline] Also Civilization and strategy games like Victoria or Hearts of Iron. Those have infinite replayability, especially with mods. Mount and Blade too.

Starcraft 2.

Witcher 2 if you want something recent. It's about 30hours long for the first playthrough, split into 3 main acts. Your choices affect the game so someone playing in Act II could have a completely different experience and story choices for someone else playing in the same Act, so high replayability. Borderlands isn't bad, I enjoyed the 30 hours I spent into it with my first play through. Thing is though, its only really great with friends and it doesn't really have any replay value. It's one of those games where the concept if fun, and its really popular to play when it first came out, but grows old quick. One of those games where you are better off waiting for a sequel that improves the downsides to the core gameplay. Deus Ex is a must if you don't mind the age of it. Otherwise, just wait for the new one coming out in August. Any of the elderscrolls or fallout games really too. I prefer elderscrolls though, simply because I find the setting and fantasy environment to be much more interesting than the 1950's sci-fi wastelands of Fallout.

Metroid Fusion and Metroid Zero Mission. They have a crazy replay value.

[QUOTE=Xion12;30345457]Starcraft 2.[/QUOTE] Good if you like RTS games, though the single player doesn't really have replayability at all and the multiplayer caters to a competitive crowd. I personally don't care for it.

[QUOTE=xTyrant---;30345276]Is Borderlands really boring after a first playthrough? Because I don't want a game that I will put away after a first playthrough.[/QUOTE] Its boring during the first playthrough imo

I forgot to mention i'm not really into games like World of Warcraft, so Civilization doesn't get my interest at all. I'm kind of hard to please when it comes to replayability. Hell even RDR got boring after a first playthrough. I also am looking for one with good solid graphics.

Well you know what I mean. Civilization is that top-down view game. Those types of games where you do strategic things don't really please me. They really bore me to death. But yeah Borderlands looks nice. Idk about replayability though. :X People say it's not that good when it comes to that.

Team Fortress 2

It doesn't matter if it's first person or third person tbh, but not top-down view, strategic, or anything similar games. Another example is Dragon Age, which I did not enjoy at all.

I'll be honest with you dude, you may like COD4 or MW2, those are plenty of fun, and I enjoyed replaying them because they were very exciting. Maybe Just Cause 2 also, I've sunk many hours into that game without realizing it because it's just so fun and easy to play.

Gta IV or San Andreas with one of the multiplayer mods if you're looking for a cheap thrill. Played SAMP for a good 3 months non-stop before it grew old.

I`ve been playing Fable - The Lost Chapters recently and had a lot of fun with it.

Fable, Mass Effect, Elder Scrolls, Stalker and Dawn of War are probably your best bets.

Elder scrolls or Civilization series. [QUOTE=xTyrant---;30345276]Is Borderlands really boring after a first playthrough?

The dlc will keep you going for a while, but you're probably not going to want to play through the story again. If you do play it, play coop with some friends. It's basically designed for it.

[QUOTE=xTyrant---;30345712]Tbh I have both and am waiting for BF3 and Mw3 as well, but for now i'm trying to find a game that will last me till then.[/QUOTE] The entirety of the Mass Effect series will last you a bit of time, and STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl + Oblivion Lost mod will last you for ages, I know it did for me!
