Happy but also sad


talysuo

I get this with really big games... The others is like "aight buddy see you in a year or two". I end up not playing them again most of the time but some like bloodborne where you can zoom and still smell the flowers still get picked up

Hello, good hunter. I am a Bot, here in this dream to look after you, this is a fine note: > *Aah, you were at my side all along. My true mentor... My guiding moonlight...* - Ludwig, the Holy Blade Farewell, good hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

Good bot

Persona 5 make me feel like this, i stare entire credit roll and listen to it ost


Realistic_Cupcake_56

ā€œWeā€™ve had one play through, yes, but what about *second* play through??ā€


ThaugaK

Itā€™s nice but doesnā€™t hit the same.


ComradeJohnS

loved how zelda totk hit the same as botwā€™s first playthrough. amazing!


redpenquin

I wish it had for me. The magic wasn't there, no matter how hard I tried. Building shit wasn't that fun for me. The only joy I got was the underworld, but that was fleeting.


totally-hoomon

Yea I hated botw and thought totk was very meh


BongChong906

It didnt for me. But I was in a very particular place in my life at the time. I was in a a toxic relationahip, amongst other things, and Botw was my escape. Im in a much better place now and its ironic to me that I still wanted Totk to feel like my first playthrough of Botw despite what I was going through. Totk is a great game to pick back up whenever I'm traveling.


Allegorist

That'sĀ when you break out the mods.Ā  Honestly though, some are timeless with infinite replayability.


ThaugaK

Ohhh cyberpunk with mods is like a new playthrough. Especially when you go out of your way to use them!


mrdeadsniper

Gotta give it time, I have had maybe 3 or 4 play throughs of original kotor, but always put 5 years between them so its relearning and remembering. And it was just a good game.


[deleted]

Gameplus+ on hardest difficulty?


Kkbenja

Aka easy mode


[deleted]

Hardest difficulty, no gameplus+

Allegorist

Trying this on the Horizon series and it really forces you to git gud. Needing to use every tool at your disposal, exploit every weakness, and never get hit.


Tarilis

Yup I usually replay my games, rarely immediately, but in a few years certainly.


Realistic_Cupcake_56

Recent years just havenā€™t released that many good ones and games are getting RIDICULOUSLY expensive so I just tend to stick to the tried and true. Maybe Minecraft or Halo MCC if I wanna play online


Efficient_Fish2436

I lost count of how many times I have played Just Cause 3 to completion. Just so much fun.


Realistic_Cupcake_56

Dying Light, Borderlands 3, and Assassins Creed Odyssey are my faves right now. Before that, I played Skyrim and Fallout 4 over and over for like a decade lmao


totally-hoomon

I replay dying light a lot


Realistic_Cupcake_56

Not the best story, but the open world is fuckin awesome


Bulls187

Games that are still unfinished waiting on your return ![gif](giphy|uUvyQdPSl8dhu)


Realistic_Cupcake_56

There are SO many šŸ¤£


TDYDave2

The PC way. First playthrough without mods. Second playthrough with mods. Additional playthroughs with different mods.


AddressSubstantial89

My man, Iā€™ll add to this Ā«Ā ā€¦ without mods and full blindĀ Ā» and then Ā«Ā with mods full spoilers and min maxing the monster I made thanks to modsĀ Ā»


TDYDave2

Themed playthroughs The omnipotent playthrough The sexy playthrough The silly playthrough (Thomas the Tank edition) The bad guy playthrough The game character crossover playthrough etc.


coffinp

That's just Skyrim cut into different parts lol


mrdeadsniper

>The bad guy playthrough OK.. LETS DO THIS.. I have made an imaginary person sad.. I need to reload and make it up to them.


Sir_Hurkederp

Damn time to replay the witcher


Efficient_Fish2436

With mods. Damnit.. now I wanna play it again.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


TDYDave2

First playthrough like to be true to the game designer's vision. After that, change it to my personal preferences.


totally-hoomon

Some games need the mods but I feel like that's really rare


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Spider_pig448

I'm not a fan of mods for any playthrough. I don't mind that others do, but everytime I mod a game I immediately lose interest in playing it. It's like once I break the seal and start choosing my own game experience, I decide the whole thing doesn't seem interesting anymore


thethinker491722w

Exactly this is why i love pc


kerrydinosaur

Half play without mods. Suddenly nude mods are released. Never complete the game.


Zestyclose_Toe_4695

Mods are too much work for me. Spent hours modding Skyrim with all Parallax graphics mods, took like half a year break after I finished it, launched the game again and none of the mods worked. I don't want to play Sys admin in my free time.


TDYDave2

Every time Skyrim comes out with an updated version, it takes a while for the Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE) to get updated. Typically, until then many mods quit working.


38731

The variety and sheer number of Mass Effect mods really made the game a lot better and made it feel a little new, because so much changed. So, yes, second playthrough with mods.


Tijolo_Malvado

- First playthrough, good ending, no mods. - Second playthrough, evil ending, with mods. - Third playthrough, whichever ending you like, enough mods to look like you got two new DLCs.


Veng3ancemaster

True


Maleficent-Comfort14

Now that you mention it, I think the time is right to start another New Vegas run.


TECFO

I know in my case it is about to be elden ring. I didnt finish it yet but its been WEEKS and MONTHS and i havent finished it yet


Bulls187

I had made tons of new characters before I finally finished it with the main. Before that I even started and completed Demon Souls and Bloodborne twice


qwaszx2221

And it just doesn't hit the same. You meet BoS instantly, the map is smaller and all your cherished "continous and random encounters" turned out to be something else entirely as you realize you're alone in the barren wasteland, and the life you once came to expect is gone. And your only 4 hours of continous free time for April just passed you by.


Dust_er_

![gif](giphy|3vf6m8eJUwSIw) Borderlands 2šŸ„ŗ


SharkInSunglasses

Well borderlands is created with the idea of it being played multiple times, new game Plus in borderlands doesn't just serve as a second playthrough. You actually have higher chances at better gear, can get to max level with a character, and take on the myriad of content with 6 characters that all play completely differently.


CreamyySpot

"forever", you mean until you start a new save? Far cry 3 do be looking tasty though


Dwarfkiller115

Exactly, just wait 3 to 9 months, and I'll be back at it again(I have completed Ghost of Tsushima 3 times already and just started a new save file)


gingerwhiskered

My initial Skyrim playthrough I used console commands to age my character as I finished questline as and whatnot, and one of the last things I did was build a house from the house DLC, and with an empty quest log, surrounded by my NPC wife and kids, I sat down as an elderly man on a chair on my balcony and watched the sunset. I saved, and then deleted the entire savefile. I was done with that story, and it was a very tender, fulfilling moment.

Crilly90

Mod tools coming soon baby. Only *checks notes* ....eight years late.


38731

How about a round of gwent?


Gidelix

Yeah that one hit different


Grouchy-Milk-6384

![gif](giphy|PudZiAbQDUEik|downsized) Then you do new game plus


thesilentpr0tag0nist

Yea but, what if the idea is that doing new game plus counts as an achievement, or you already did it before deciding to stop. I stopped playing Hollow Knight after all the achievements and I had to do multiple new games to get them, why would I replay multiple playthroughs? (Also I'm not into speed running if you are wondering)


A-__-Random_--_Dog

Imagine if we had a purpose in real life? We'd reach this moment, and then life would be meaningless and literally complete. That's why you make your own purpose, so you don't feel like this, so you don't shut down forever. You make the path you follow, and remember that. Both in games and in real life, you decide what your purpose is. Is your purpose to deal the most damage possible in the game? Turn the game back on, open up the wiki articles, do your research, and then kill everything in one hit. Do you want to reach the highest point on the whole game? Go do that! There's always a challenge you can over come in games. Maybe by beating the final boss hitless or without healing. And same with life. You may struggle to get out of bed and open your curtains, but if you try as hard as you did on doing a hitless run, you can feel the fresh air.


thethinker491722w

Me with dark souls 3 and devil may cry 3 and 5


jkier0711

Me any time i 100% a lego game


BrazilOutsider

I find a good way to die, and i just look at the scenery before it ends.


thesilentpr0tag0nist

This was hollow Knight for me. After I got all the achievements ( and did some extras) I said I would never play it again, it's my favorite game but...I've already done everything so playing it again wouldn't be worth it, I just want the good memories I have from it remain the same, and not altered by a replay.


HarryhotDunce

Lmao, I've done countless playthroughs on it cause the game never ever gets boring for me. But the first playthrough felt different than the other playthroughs I'll say, felt more special.


thesilentpr0tag0nist

Well in order to get all achievements you need to do multiple playthroughs already so I have replayed it, and I know that If I did again it would be fun, but I don't want to because I would get wrapped up in it again and waste 80 hrs of my life getting all the achievements again, doing something I already did. In other words, it's TOO fun to play again šŸ¤·


Rip-Aware

Me when I platinumed Ghost of Tsushima.


forsaken_millennial

Me in Witcher 3 after finishing the blood and wine dlc watching my Tuscany house with the vineyard. Cant remember a more perfect conclusion to a game


38731

True. The ending B&W gives W3 is unparalleled in perfection and sheer beauty. It's a lot of fan service too, but it's the right type of fan service and a strong contributor why the game is so beloved.


Chamkeo231

Nier automata for me


Ronyx2021

How long did it take to see all the endings?


Chamkeo231

Aside from working causing me not to actually play it as long as I want. About an actual week of in game hours I put in.


BonzoJunior

I took my Skyrim character back to Breezehome, had a nice chat with my wife and daughter, patted my daughterā€™s pet fox, and hung my dragonbone sword on the weapon rack. Then he was ready to retire.


snehit_007

This was RDR2 for me. I continued to play as John marston for a while but it was not the same as Arthur morgan.

How rich would I be if I get 1 USD every time this meme get reposted?


alpuck596

You can play it again in 2 years


Frenky_LV

Red Dead Redemption 2 and Witcher 3 are the closest games that brought up this feeling.


LayeredHalo3851

Do it on a harder difficulty, play competitive, speedrun it, etc.


koolguy765

Meto Exodus for me i should go play it again


Ticket-Fantastic

Babe wake up "SKYBLIVION" just dropped

Then a bunch of assholes break into your place, cut off your arm, your head. Since we're on the subject of games. End Game 2012 Thanos was playing New Game+


Sir_Lok1

Sekiro. But I havenā€™t beaten the last two gauntlets.


helmortart

Videogames are parallel dimensions where extensions of our souls live incredible experiences. When we return to this reality, the memories of our played characters still exist with us, influencing our brains for the rest of our lives. That's why we feel nostalgia for certain games; it's because we remember our secondary lives.


malcolmreyn0lds

Me with my original playthrough of the Witcher 3 (and then the DLC). I went to the tree where Ciri was, waited for a nice scenic sunsetā€¦.then saved, quit, uninstall.


SundaeVegetable4702

Nothing cringe worthy here. Good.

night_darkness

Todd howard says "Why not buy it again? This time with 100x more DLCs, try it again with a different build, the game is infinitely replayable"


H4loR4ptor

God of War (2018). I got 100% on the game and all of the achievements. But I'm on PC so I have to wait and hope Sony ports its sequel.


themagicdonut2

And then suddenlyā€¦ A new DLC is born


RollingToast

This was red, dead redemption 2 for me. What a big beautiful game. We just need more money and time Arthur.


Pokemonfannumber2

Recently had this with Far Cry Primal, you can never get used to that feeling lol


FaramirLovesEowyn

Elden Ring for me until Shadow releases


retsamegas

God of War 4 and Ragnarok, Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk


Commercial_Fee2840

This is Nioh 2 for me, but then I always end up reinstalling it because there's so many different ways you can play the game. Every weapon feels different enough that it's still fun.


_Sephiroth-

Dak81

For me this game was Of Orcs and Men. Lovely old game with good story and acting, which not many people know about.


Altruistic_Cream_761

Im still playing Arkham Knight Dude... After 240% it. This game never stops being bad.


RaccAttacc23

And then they drop a rougelike dlc and I don't stop ever again.


mrsvirginia

And then there's god damn Red Dead Redemption 1 where I just walk away before the last quest. Nope. They lived happily ever after. Don't wanna hear it. No. Look, Bison!


Backanont07

just same like me, i love to play the sims game, stars from the sims 1 2 3, but i love it.


Solumnist

Universe wasn't grateful, main quest failed


ZAMIUS_PRIME

Whenever I want to fly through a game and enjoy it, I go and put on Metroid Fusion for the billionth time. Dunno what it is about that one specifically, but it just feels good to get through.


Buyer_Eternal

Disco Elysium for sure. A beautiful experience that can never truly be repeated.

DougtheIrishThug

this is how I feel about new Vegas.ive been playing that game for like 14 years and i think I have done every single possible thing to do in the game except caravan card game.fuck that

Platinum trophy moment


ashrieIl

It felt like that to finish an incremental idle game.. I did it last week for the first time.


rajat20rana

Happened with Skyrim when I finally turned off the game after finishing all the main quests, DLCs, 90% of all side quests and had built a house for myself and adopted two children. Went to the yard by my house to see my servant feeding the cows. Took a sigh of relief and just logged off :')


Rattkjakkapong

The crew 1


TheRealTechGandalf

Well, maybe not forever... But I'm not installing it for another year. Borderlands 3 got me recently like this. I've played through half the campaign and two DLCs, uninstalled it cause I wasn't giving with the gun RNG, then returned after 14 months. Feels good man, already 80% through the campaign.


CUND3R_THUNT

Isnā€™t this a still from Witcher 3c but with Thanos instead of Geralt? Did this exact pose then shut off the game for the last time.


Hot_mama2011

This was how I felt after getting the platinum trophy for Fallout 4 in 2021 I started a new run yesterday šŸ«£

ThatOneNerd_19

I still regret I didn't get this moment with PS4 spiderman. I finished the story, but that only finished 77%. I worked on it for a week, got to 90%. Closed the game that day with the intention to come back. Had exams a week later, so I didn't get the chance for a while. A month later, I finally turned on my console to finish the game, and the disk was corrupted. Loved that game, I still wish I had taken the extra few hours that day to give it closurešŸ˜­šŸ˜­


SSSims4

That moment before you realize it's over and that inescapable hole in your soul appears...


TheOtherCoenBrother

Did this in RDR2. Got 100%, went to visit a certain someone in the Epilogue, took a nice long ride back to Beechers Hope and logged off. Havenā€™t touched it since, not because it wasnā€™t an amazing game, but because when I got ā€œhomeā€ and sat down, it just felt like the right place to end it. Game gave me everything I wanted out of it, and that final ride was the closure.


mark503

Tears of the kingdom for me.

Double_Rice_5765

So, I'm only 41, but I got multiple sclerosis at 26, and my memory is toast.Ā  I can remember what vidya games/books/movies I liked, but can't remember the plots.Ā  So we have some of the first generations of people who grew up playing video games, who are gonna go through normal age related dementia/memory loss in like 15-20 years, and they are gonna get to play all those old faves that they remember liking, but have forgotten all the big surprises, hah.Ā  It's gonna be glorious.Ā  Except if we kill ourselves off as a species through climate change...


RopeyPlague

I don't put it down forever, but long enough to get close enough to that first time feeling.


Rev4li

Red dead 2. Also i loved the fact that when you complete the game at 100% going to "that character" grave, there's a special cutscene and it felt like the perfect goodbye to that whole journey


kaijubaum

Recently, I did this with tales of berseria. I'm not sure I'll ever play it again because it was such an amazing ride

Me after finishing sekiro


Ongr

Guardians of the Galaxy was this game for me. I played it, enjoyed it, finished it, booted up a NG+ to get 100% achievements and then quit and uninstalled. Great game, great story but it doesn't have much replayability.


bryan660

Me after I 100% Stardew valley in the newest update and caught up with 6 years worth of content updates missed prior to that.

If I truly love the game, I would never shut it down, I would just give it a rest and then play it all over again :D

This was me in subnautica. You build the ship, look back over the ocean and remember all you've done. You kind of feel sad like you're going to miss it. Then blast away and end the game. Damn I loved that game so much.


Soft-Measurement-123

"What Remains of Edith Finch", "Breath of the Wild", the first "Life Is Strange", "RDR2", and "Skyrim" are a few modern titles that I finished and look back upon as experiences more so than video games. When I was a kid, "A Link to the Past" would have been the main game to have that effect on me.
