Games You'd Buy Twice

[brog489]

Borderlands. Phenomenal game with amazing dlc addons and multiplayer

 

[Vankraken]

Games I have bought multiple times.
Master of Orion 2: 1st CD died from over use

X-Com/UFO Enemy Unknown: I have the non AGA and the AGA version for Amiga, a copy that came free with a CD from Computer Gaming World (had a multitude of older games on it), and a copy on Steam.

X-Com Apoc: PC copy and digital copy on Steam

Starcraft: I think I have somehow acquired like 3 copies of the original and 2 of BW

Civilization 2: PS1 and PC copy

Sim City 2000: Amiga and PC version

KOTOR: Received a copy from 2 different people on the same birthday. (not buying per say but i didn't return it so.. )

Borderlands: PC and PS3 Copy

Theme Hospital: Somehow have 2 copies

Roller Coaster Tycoon: Bought the original and bought the pack with the two expansions.

The Witcher 2 Assassins of Kings and Final Fantasy XIII got stolen from me, so I re bought them.

 

[Uber Waddles]

Kingdom Hearts 2 anyone? Fantastical game right there.

I lost my old copy of Halo 2. Then I bought a new one. Then they turned the online off. Such a good freakin game...

If we're throwing remakes into the equation. Pokemon, you has me guilty. I bought Blue. My original GameBoy (the 9 ton one that leaked radiation) and Blue were stolen. I bought a SECOND copy. Then the Yellow enchanced release, with a limited edition GameBoy color came out on the week of my birthday. Skip ahead, and after renting Gold and Silver for awhile (2000's Blockbuster. get at me brah) I bought Gold. Then got Silver as a gift. Then got Silver AGAIN as another gift. Then got the Crystal enchanced version. Then I bought Sapphire. Then FireRed, which was a remake of the original. Then LeafGreen, which is the same. Then Emerald Version, the enhanced of Ruby and Sapphire. Then Diamond, then HeartGold - a remake of Gold Version.

Jeeze. Pokemon, you really know how to push your product.

I own a PC and Xbox version of Borderlands, L4D, L4D2, and Fallout New Vegas. I owned a Sega, but never owned the Sonic games (BlockBuster, 1990's. Get at me). I did get a PC port when I was in, like, the 6th grade, with all the sonic games. Which I decided to then buy on the Xbox. And I have a few on the PC under different names as well. Same with Sonic Adventures DX. My GameCube came with a Zelda collection, and I have a copy of the original Zelda for the GBA. Oh, and the GBA. Final Fantasy re-releases? Plus ones on the iPod touch?

And that sums it up. I rented a lot of games in my days. But I have a nack for buying multiple copies of the same game for different devices. Impulse buying FTW. Usually, if I buy a game multiple times, they are re-released versions with enhanced gameplay (see Pokemon), or theres a large gap in between purchases. Or if Steam has a sale. Its nice to have a copy of good games on a console (which I prefer for playing games on), and a copy for my PC, which I can pack up and take with me a lot easier (like my Laptop. Or Desktop, since I don't have to go through the pain of tearing apart my mancave just to free the xbox and its components.)

You get the point.

I remember getting Max Payne 1 & 2 for the Xbox back in the day. Then I sold them later on, but a couple years later I saw MP2 up for $2.00. Best $2 I ever spent. After that I saw them on Steam and had heard about all the cool mods and stuff for the PC version, so I bought both again on Steam just because.

Also I got the Orange Box for PS3 because I'm a dumbass, and after hearing about all the cool TF2 updates on the PC I rebought that and will never regret it. Also I later got Portal on Steam while it was free, so I don't know if you count that or not. Still don't have HL2 on PC though

 

[OctoH]

I actually did end up buying the first Deus Ex twice. Also, I got both Steam and non-Steam editions of Mass Effect 1 & 2. Out of necessity, not any particular desire, of course.

 

[FaustianBargain]

Mass Effect 1, I already have a copy of the game, but I think it's getting broken from over use. I need to get a new copy anyway, so I suppose I would buy it twice.

I did that already, once for my xbox then when I moved away and my brother kept the console I bought it for the PC. It was better on the xbox though.

Another game I'd buy twice is Diablo II but only because I can easily get the battlechest for $20.

 

[bob-2000]

Dragon Age 2, because I really enjoyed it and it certainly needs all the support it can get.

Don't attack me; I don't want to fight over this.

 

[CyanideSandwich]

Twice?! I can barely buy a game ONCE in this bloody economy. Here (in Australia) they actually sell new release games for $110, even though last time I checked the Australian dollar was worth more than that of the U.S.! Nevertheless, there are 2 games that I regret getting rid of and would buy again: Hitman Blood Money and Bioshock.

 

[kevinsux909]

Burnout 3: Takedown - Praying it gets released on the PS Store after my PS2 died. :/

 

[6_Qubed]

In no particular order:

Harvest Moon: Freinds of Mineral Town
Saints Row 2
War of the Monsters
Bloodrayne
Fallout 3

And a few more I can't remember.

 

[ExileNZ]

Oddly enough I have a hard time finding PC games I bought again, though I did buy Now and Then, Here and There (anime series) a second time, this time in collector's edition.

I bought Deus Ex again on Steam, along with a few other titles, but nothing else really springs to mind.

 

[TheLiham]

Let's see now;

Fallout 3
KoTOR 1 & 2
Half-Life
Half-Life 2
Half-Life 2 Episode one
Half-Life 2 Episode two
Half-Life: Opposing force
Half-Life: Blue Shift
Counter-Strike
Oblivion (about 50 times due to having siblings)
Halo 3
Viva Pinata
Mass Effect
Fable
Deus Ex.

And probably many more I'll add later

Edit:
Oddworld: Abes Oddysee
Oddworld: Abes Exoddus
Oddworld: Munchs Oddysee
Oddworld: Strangers Wrath
Rayman
C&C
C&C Tiberian Sun
C&C Red Alert
C&C Red Alert 2

 

[Drew Richard]

I bought a second The World Ends With You so I could mingle more.

 

[Snotnarok]

I bought Team Fortress 2 three bloody times.

I got the orange box for 360, then realized TF2 was great...on PC, so I bought it there, then I realized why bother with Orange Box on 360 when the PC verson was better? I bought the Orange Box on super sale ...and you don't get to gift TF2, but you can gift any HL game if you get a dupe.

My friend gifted me Borderlands on PC when I bought it for 360 already.

I got Mass Effect on PC when I found out 2 was going to be cheaper on PC also better. And it was totally worth it.

 

[Supertegwyn]

The entire Medal of Honor series on PS2. I had them all and loved them but foolishly sold them for a PS3. I love my PS3, but until they re-release them I will never feel the same.

 

[Ashannon Blackthorn]

Older computer rts/rpg like master of magic, Baldur's gate, Icewind Dale, the early Heroes of Might and Magic

 

[StrixMaxima]

I've bought a fair share of older PC games twice, maily for the convenience of having them preconfigured to run in DOS-Box.

Also, some disks got too worn out, and I purchased them again. System Shock 2, Hexen. I lost my Civilization 1 floppy just to find it again three days after repurchasing it.

I also have some games in the PC and in the PS3. Oblivion, for instance. I'll probably do the same for Skyrim.

 

[MegaManOfNumbers]

Okami, FULLSTOP.

I currently have the Wii version and currently seeking out a cheap copy of the PS2 version, just so I can play that GODDAMN masterpiece again!!
