Replayability = Worthless?

What do you think a review means by replay value? It’s often cited as pivotal to a game’s overall quality. Many publications offer a replay value or “Lasting Appeal” rating that contributes to the final score. Whether they have a separate rating for it or not, you always get users commenting on replayability and how it affects their purchasing decisions. The length of a game’s single player campaign is always brought up, usually with someone saying “$60 for a 6 hour campaign!?” or similar. This is a complex and unusual review criteria for a number of reasons…

IMHO replayability makes a good game great, one major letdown in this area was L.A Noire for me.

Also if something is repetitive it generally takes away from the replayability.

thanks to its pacing and chapter based story. Also split-screen competitive and co-op matches are fun as well.

I have played Uncharted 3 5 times so far and I have had so much fun on each run, it does not feel the same because enemies act differently each time plus the mp is ridiculously addictive.

But when a game is not easy to replay it feels repetitive. Look at Batman Arkham city after you beat the story and side missions..... then what? Find all the riddler trophies, but to do that you see how repetitive and annoying the game is. Find riddler trophy, usually guarded by inmates... you have no choice to fight them

But with Skyrim the infinite quests and ability for everyone to play differently is great for replayability.

Uncharted is fun to play again on crushing. You'll really get your monies worth then. Plus finding all the treasures is a task on it's own.

mixelon5302d ago

I'm in the middle of a crushing replay myself and its a lot of fun, though in my case it seems more about pattern memorisation than skill.

I think i suck. If the enemies had any level of randomisation in where they came from i'd probably be screwed.

HeavenlySnipes5302d ago

If the MP is fun enough to keep playing and the SP has things to make you want to play again. (like the hidden treasures in UC3)

2fk5302d ago

sadly for me the MP doesn't tickle me fancy fancy on the other hand the SP is bloody brilliant.

NYC_Gamer5302d ago (Edited 5302d ago )

well,i play all my games on hard and feel there is no need to replay the story again if it's set path with no major choices/different endings.

N311V5302d ago

When I first read the title I thought NO WAY. After reading the article my opinion has changed, the author makes a good point. Replayability is not worthless but trying to score it in a review probably is.
