What games have you re-bought the most?

[HHJ]

A game you just got to have on every system that plays games.

I have probably bought Castlevania SOTN many times. Even though its very easy to emulate. I dont mind droppin 5 to 10 to get it on my phone, or steam or xbox one etc. Its just gotta be there when i wanna play it.


Street Fighter Alpha 3 is another one, but now that it's part of the overal SF collection, ive bought that on a few times too.

stardew valley hands down

 

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

I'm guessing people have bought GTA 5 on 3 different system upgrades by now

When it comes to gaming as a whole the answer is North American console gamers with Call of Duty. Next followed by the yearly released sports games like Fifa, Madden and so on. Bethesdas Skyrim and Sony with Last of Us series were both a bit egregious with their persistent re-releases.

Personally ive only bought a single game twice. Was when i started playing World of Warcraft in January 2007. Halfway into the trial i bought a game copy online from Newegg. Next day when i hit the trial limit it was still ~7 days away from getting the copy in the mail. So i went to my local Gamestop to buy a copy.

Mass effect. Got it on 360, ps5 and pc.

If you need to have a physical copy I don't think I have more than two copies of any game. If you don't need to have a physical copy it would be between Street Fighter 2, Thunderforce 3, and KOF95 as I own 3 digital versions of each.

I believe I bought Resident Evil 4 on Game Cube, Wii, Xbox, Switch, and PC. Doom has to be up there as well. I even got the GBA version.

Yeah, they got me on that too. 360, PS4, and PC. For RDR2 I got in on PS4 then PC. I've think I've bought pretty much every Rockstar game at least twice.

Skyrim is another, 360, Steam, and Switch. I don't remember what I paid for the Special edition on Steam, so it could be considered 4 times.

I've bought loads of Castlevania and Phantasy Star games twice, sometimes three times if you count collections.

KOTOR 1 four times, OG Xbox, PC, android, and Switch.

I believe I bought Resident Evil 4 on Game Cube, Wii, Xbox, Switch, and PC. Doom has to be up there as well. I even got the GBA version.

RE4 has to be the game I bought the most. I got it on PS2, PC twice (3 times if you count the remake), Wii and either 360 or PS3. The funny thing is that I only ever played the OG for a few hours at best across those systems, until the most recent Steam version, when it was remastered by fans, and you could adjust the FOV. I don't think any other game has been given more chances by me lol.

This is the definitive way to play the OG

stardew valley hands down

Yeah, I have Stardew Valley on iOS, Android and Xbox.

I also bought a couple of games twice for the sake of mods, when I had a working PC, and I bought GTA Online for Xbox Series S, when I already had GTAV for One S, but it took a big discount for me to do it.

bought it for xbox 360 and ps4, pirated it on two pc's. then i bought the enhanced edition cheap on steam last year. i could have just stolen that too but i had a hankering to play some gta online. until i got put into a game with some blatant fucking cheaters getting under the map and firing a million rockets a minute lol.

 

[Satur9]

SOTN. Had to have bought it 10+ times. My GOAT

RE2 and Zelda OOT round out the top three


Edit. In all actually, it is Doom. I’ve bought Doom more by far now that I think of it. Weird it didn’t immediately come to mind.

 

[Zazen]

Final Fantasy VII & IX

That was karma for pirating it the first two times imo

 

[fendertach]

Probably Balatro. Have purchased on PC, PS5 and Mobile.
