Games you wish you could play for the first time again?

[autiebug]

What's that one game you wish you could go back and replay for the first time and experience everything all over again? Besides Animal Crossing of course.

For me, it would be the Mass Effect trilogy. I remember playing through them for the first time and being so immersed in the plot and universe. And in Mass Effect 2, the characters! I loved meeting them all and doing the loyalty missions. There's still DLC I could buy, so I guess I could replay them again and have some new experiences, but it wouldn't be the same. :c

Also, Skyrim. No matter how many dragonborns I make it's just not the same man. So, what about you?

Garry's Mod. The reason I say that, is because when I first played it, I was playing it on a really slow system, and playing around with it was a very slow, and often frustrating process. So, if I had the chance to go back and play it again, for the first time, I'd do it on something better. Despite the fact I've still got it now, it's barely playable with the operating system I use.

 

[Reindeer]

Metal Gear Solid 2 or 3.

I've played both of those so many times, but the first time playing them was the best. MGS2 had a really well-written story, one that challenged the player's intellect while at the same time trying to confuse them as much as possible. And MGS3 had a really big emotional impact on me.

If there were ever any games I wish I could have a fresh experience with again, it's those two.

Zelda: Twilight Princess

It's one of my favorite games of the franchise. Though spent my whole time playing either on my father's completed save, or on my save in which I was still in the starting town with no progression, it still felt fun. Now when I replay it, the nostalgia is still there, but there's nothing new.

 

[PurplPanda]

Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City. I loved both of the games, getting the gadgets, meeting the characters... OMG.

The World Ends With You

Most memorable DS game for me, but I've beaten it times over and I can't just get the story, music, and characters out of my head. I look forward to the day when the sequel or whatever they were teasing comes out.

 

[Sataric]

For me, it would have to be the games with the most impressive storylines - Mass Effect, Dragon Age, The Last of Us, Deus Ex, and titles like that. Probably also Dark Souls, which had a very unique feel to it, and a very intense learning curve. Amnesia: The Dark Descent was also really awesome the first time I played through it, although there is still custom player-made stories for the game released even today, years after the games release - Some of which are really good. Oh, and maybe Secret of Mana for the SNES. Amazing game despite being so old now.

 

[EpicGamer12]

Hmm... I'd say Minecraft. Such a unique and fun feeling that you can't get back.

 

[Aizu]

Atelier Iris Eternal Mana, one of the best games Ive played, ever. I wish I could play it again....

 

[BananaMan]

The Dead Space games. I still love playing through them but nothing beats playing them for the first time and not having any idea what lies ahead. Especially one particular level in 2.

 

[Chromie]

Witcher 2
Fallout 1 & 2
Baldur's Gate series
Pokemon Yellow
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker
Chrono Trigger
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney

All the games I mentioned I devoured. Witcher 2 and Fallout especially left me so amazed that I couldn't enjoy other games for awhile.

 

[RayOfHope]

Phoenix Wright, all of the Zelda games, Planescape: Torment, and the Zero Escape series. I would give almost anything to play through those for the first time again.

YOU TOOK THE WORDS FROM MY MOUTH! LOL

But seriously, the very first time playing all three games... I can't explain it. It's a feel I'll never feel again playing any other game. The characters, the places, the friendships lost, regained, shattered... It literally feels like you are IN the world, the characters are real and the places you see are so vividly real... I have never played another game like that.

Another game I'd love to replay is Mirror's Edge. The hidden message of freedom is something I'll never forget.

 

[Alienfish]

Hm, Spyro: Year of the Dragon. Need to get a PS1 or 2 since I have the disc already xD

 

[shayminskyforme88]

Games from the Pokemon Series. It was really fun back then when you do not know what to do and then you tend to get lost all the time. Also not knowing what Pokemon evolve to is really fun, you just train them and then they evolve then you say,"Looks cool" or "It sucks."

Also the Professor Layton Series. It's really fun when you have no direction and you just solve every single puzzle that comes your way. It's really fun when you don't know the story and are very determined to finish each and every puzzle to go through the story.

 

[Nymeri]

Dragon Quest VIII, Final Fantasy X, and the Zelda games. I really, really miss DQVIII. Haven't played it in like forever since the disc is broken. A HD-release for the PS3 would be nice :> or even a ps2 classics release. I don't care, I just want to play it again.

 

[milktea]

bioshock infinite.


that messed me up and had me crying for days.

 

[Cadbberry]

Pokemon Platinum, I had never played a Pokemon game because my parents disliked systems but when I was at my friends house he let me play. That feeling of a rush of fun and when I was just aimlessly going around I ran into my first Pokemon, a shiny rotom! It was just a rush of happiness when I asked him if it was rare

 

[PurinPudding]

Grand Theft Auto V, the first Kingdom Hearts game, The Sims Bustin' Out and the The Walking Dead games (Telltale, obviously). All for very, very different reasons.

 

[Nerd House]

Hm, Spyro: Year of the Dragon. Need to get a PS1 or 2 since I have the disc already xD

All 3 Spyro titles were on sale on the PSN for $0.99 a few week ago, along with 30+ other classic titles!


Also, I wish I still had my copy of this and had no memory of playing it.
