Replay Value, How Important Is This To YOU?

Jason · 03-26-2001, 03:29 PM

I have made it most of the way through this game now and I was just wondering what everyone else thought about the replay value of this game. I am personally already psyched up about playing it again, as I am bound and determined to do all the quests next time and try not to be so mean to the harmless NPC's I killed in the first time through(At this point I don't think I let anyone live, including Erathsmador). Anyway, on the subject, I was also wondering how important you all thought replay value was, do you really enjoy being able to play a game another time through and enjoy it as you did the first time? Or do you prefer to beat it once and move on to the next game? Just thought i'd get some other opinions on the matter, as I personally think replay value is part of what makes a game great(Me and a friend of mine probably played Final Fantasy 3 and defeated it 10 times or more, and I STILL to this day love that game). What do you all think?

This game is very replayable which I consider a welcomed bonus. Normally when I purchase a CPRG I don't expect to play it but once. W&W is replayable, in my opinion, because it is not overly large and because it is just fun to be in Gael Serran!

Hi Jason! I am in Cet's tomb preparing for the final battle and looking forward to playing through again. Usually, I don't play a game again, (except for Castle of the Winds which I played at least a dozen times many years ago) but I am excited about playing this one for the second time. What convinced me that it would be worth the second time through, is I bought it for my daughter and she is asking questions about things I have forgotten. And I can play with my Zenmaster this time instead of 6 characters (I might take my Valkyrie too just to see what she can do!). God speed to you and your party.

Replay value is one of the most important concerns I have with a game, which is why I prefer RPG's with different combinations of character roles and races, differing quests, richness of the game world, and such, so I can say, "okay, that worked that time, but I wonder if this will?" Almost every game I've ever owned, I've replayed at least twice. I don't go for games that are 1-shot wonders, and unfortunately, many of them on the market are like that now. It's ridiculous to spend $50 for a game you can finish in 20 hours and then never play again. I bought WW on a special introductory price in the story for $30 and I've definitely gotten my money's worth out of it since I'm playing through the 4th time on it.

Replay value is highly important!
I've got several different groups of characters going at once, now, so I'm on my fifth, sixth, and seventh playthroughs of the game. And I am STILL finding new creatures, new hidden rooms, and new conversations. That's kept me hooked. Otherwise, why bother?

I just wanted to add...I'm REALLY happy to see that as many people replay the game as they do. It makes me feel a lot less freaky about being on my 4th time through!
