Just out of interest what are your top 5 games that you feel offer best replay factor
for me it is
1) Lego Games (cant really individual them as they all offer the same attraction for me)
2) theme Hospital
3) The force unleashed
4) Dragon age
5) Legacy of kain defiance
all of these i have had multiple play through s and will go back to again
1. <insert favorite FPS>
2. <insert favorite RTS>
3. <insert favorite MMORPG>
4. <insert favorite hack and slash>
5. <insert favorite Sports sims>
:)
For me at the moment:
BF4
SC2
Diablo3
FIFA 15
All of them have a silly amount of playtime on them......
Mass Effect.
That one really draws me in, every time.
Err... that's about it, I think.
I've started several Dragon Age characters, but never taken them much beyond the first few levels, as it just got boring.
I have many hours on Skyrim, but have done everything of interest and would not want to repeat it even once.
Other than that, I tend to put the most hours into persistent universe games, like Elite and Freelancer, although I regard that as continuing play rather than replaying.
For replay factor alone (although these aren't strictly my top 5)
# Any of the Street Fighter series - they don't really age, specially the arcade Alpha/Zero versions
# Wipeout 3 - I can happily re-sink hours in to this and barely notice the low resolution.
# Portal 1/2 These would be on my all-time list as well. Wonderful games that suck you in.
# GTA 5 - I'm looking forward to replaying this on PC in April. I know there's a lot I missed and some of the attention to detail that flew past before will be fun to discover again.
# Sensible Soccer - was this or a classic PES. But I still play Sensi regularly.
The rule for making a replayable game for me is either make it unbelievably huge enough to warrant trawling back through to find everything. Or make a well contained, genre defining, tightly written perfectly executed timeless classic. Simples.
Don't know about top 5 but I feel Kerbal Space Program is worth a mention. I don't know if I'd say it has replay value per se since there's no completion criteria, but there is so much to do, so many mods, I have about 500 hours logged on steam. I've done a ton of moon landings and find them fun each time.
Right now i'd have to go with:
Eurotruck Simulator
Shadow of Mordor
Dragon Age Inquisition
Fifa 15
Trials Fusion
i found shadow of Mordor to much messing about on all the mini quests yet found dragon age to be great for all the detail currently on my second play through of it
Dungeon Keeper 2
Age of Empires 2
Starcraft 2
Dota 2
Path Of Exile / Diablo 3
WarThunder / World Of Tanks
Those are my go-to games for a while. I'll probably play Dota 2 and Starcraft atleast once per day, with the rest at least once a week.
Counterstrike 1.6
Warcraft 3: ROC and TFT, with that being said- DOTTAAAA 2!!
World of Warcraft
Dark Souls
FIFA
Ah this is a tough one. Even though I haven't had a chance to play Borderlands 2, I've heard that has some hefty replay-ability.
Anywho, my list would go something like this (currently :P)
* TF2
* Binding Of Isaac: Rebirth (or even the first game!)
* Risk of Rain
* LUFTRAUSERS
* Tribes: Ascend (possibly)
This is fairly shooter heavy but I have to admit, they've sucked up a lot of hours!
1. Dark Souls
2. Terraria
3. Skyrim
4. Dragon Age: Origins
5. Fallout New Vegas
1. <insert favorite FPS>
2. <insert favorite RTS>

*Fallout NV (and hopefully 4 when it comes out..)
