Do you replay your old favorites?

Do you guys replay your older games? For some reason everytime I try to replay one of my old favorites I always get bored and quit a few hours in.

Never to be honest, I always end up the same as you getting bored early on.

I play The Secret of Monkey Island once every 18 months or so, sometimes more frequently. I've been doing that since I was a young lad in the early 90s.

Yeah. Final Fantasy VII and VIII I usually play every year or 2. There are a few other RPGs that I want to go back to and replay. I would like to play the Metal Gear Solid Games again, but I don't know If I could, they don't hold up that well.

Some games. Some of them I can get bored with, but some I can play repeatedly (Halo: Custom Edition and Half Life 2 as examples, also: Pokemon) to completion.

It's much easier to replay older games that don't require a lot of time investment.  Most of my favorite games don't require a lot of time dedication, so I can jump in whenever I feel like it.  Super Mario Bros. 3, River City Ransom, any of the NES Mega Man games, Ghouls 'n Ghosts on the Genesis, whatever.

I always go back to KOTOR and boot up SMB:3 every once in a while.

I play the old favorites more than I do new games.

It depends on the game. I have played my very favourite, Planescape Torment, twice, played Baldur's Gate 2 probably 3 times, The Witcher twice, Chrono Trigger twice, FF6 twice... I enjoy replaying, but I need to put at least a year or to between playthroughs of those in-depth RPG's. As far as FPS's and stuff go, I don't do a lot of replaying there, not as much to go back to as as RPG for me. 
 
Also, someone mentioned Pokemon. Isn't the ability to enjoy replaying Pokemon vital to enjoying those games? I mean, they are all the same game.

Yes. Even went as far as running DOS-Box, and trying to install a Windows 95 Virtual Machine (no luck >.<).
The games I can play on the newer OS' I simply install and play through. I enjoy complicated and unique concepts, even if they are frustrating, because they tend to strain my ability way more then the cookie cutter crap that's out nowadays.

I play through Rally Cross for the PSX about once a year, I'll pop in older Sim City games from time to time, and build a city or two.  I also used to play through Populous once a month.  Sometimes I will go through the Crash Bandicoot and Spyro series, like play 1, 2, 3 in order of each. 
 
Also, I used to play the Medal of Honor series from time to time, thats two PSone, two PS2...

For the most part no, but I've gone back and played KOTOR over and over and over, I just love that game. Most games are either to nostalgic and are just hard to play or too recent and just boring.

All the time, only on pc though, nothing else because I can scale the resolution.

I can always go back and play SSX3. Can't count how many times I have finished that game now. Easily over 50.

some of the games i do. it all depends on what type of mood i am in at the time.

I actually do.  I am in the midst of replaying Metal Arms: Glitch in the System for Xbox, am thinking of chewing through the PS1 Resident Evil series again this summer, and regularly break out the PS1 classic Bushido Blade when there's a party at our place. 
 
Apparently I am one of the handful that actually uses backwards compatibility, so let me finish this post by shaking my fist at Sony for neutering my PS3 Slim and Microsoft for stopping their BC project with it woefully incomplete (Stranger's Wrath, Morrowind GOTY, etc.)

When it comes to the 8 and 16 bit classics that i grew up with, I replay them all the time. I've beaten the Double Dragons, Zeldas, the Super Mario Bros, the Castlevanias, Contras, and many others, many many times. Hundreds, literally. Not so much with the modern 3-D era of gaming because of time constraints, but there are a few that I always play over and over. Silent Hill series, Ninja Gaiden and DMC series, and more action-based games..

Yep, I do it all the time. I'm well into older games anyway, but my favourites definitely get dragged out for a spin.

I replayed the Jak & Daxter Trilogy one weekend, it was amazing....

 I replay games all the time. Deus Ex, Xenogears and the Metal Gear Solid series get revisited the most. Just purchased GTA:Vice City for $3 on Steam. Looking forward to playing that again. Also have ICO and Shadow of the Colossus. Going to be playing them soon.

yeah, i do

No because I usually end up hating them/getting immediately bored since I know the story.  Plus most of my game playing is through gamefly and trade ins

Playing MGS3 as we speak.

Hell ya, play some good old SNES and N64 games. 

Sometime, Sometime I go like this:  

I am currently in the process of my own Endurance Run with a friend. Playing Persona 1-2-3-4 in order. 
For me it's a nice replay but my friend gets to experience all of it brand new, and without having to play too.

I'm currently replaying through FFVIII.  It's my third time, but I don't just sit through it over a week I eventually finish it within the confines of a year, so I've got maybe 8 more months since I started the current playthrough I'm on a while back.

I'm just playing through Kingdom Hearts I and II and for some bizarre reason... The Warriors. 

Zelda games from A Link to the Past onwards, yes.  Broken Sword, Prince of Persia the Sands of Time, Doom + Doom 2 loads of times, Duke Nukem 3D umpteen times, Snes Mario Bros plenty of times.  Tomb Raider II stacks of times (PC) even watched friends complete it about 3 times which is just as good as it's the best TR game but I have played Tomb Raider Legend twice and would definitely play it again.  Half Life 2 I've done 2 or 3 times and will play episode 1 + 2 again maybe with the commentary.  I'll play Mario Sunshine again, in fact I'm putting it off and forcing myself to play Ico, Shadow of the Collossus, Bayonetta and the Ratchet and Clank games before it.  My first PS2 10 years after it was released and it's a joy.   Currently I'm replaying GTA IV and Broken Sword with my girlfriend as it's her first time and so I'm just advising when she loses interest when she's stuck.
 
Notice I'm replaying modern stuff a lot less.  Does that mean they're not as good?  Maybe.  Does it mean I've got nostalgia goggles on?  Maybe but I don't think so because some of the old stuff I've got years after they came out.

I go back to KOTOR every once in a while and I always finish it. 
 
I could go for playing donkey kong country or a link to the past again.

Played Chrono Trigger and Pokemon again. Pokemon moreso. I remember once that after completing it I just started another New Game straight away.

I replay the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time trilogy every couple of years. Although two weeks ago I quit about half an hour into the first game. But in general, yeah, I come back to my old favourites from time to time.

Psychonauts get into my PS3 every once in a while.

I tried playing Ocarina of Times again a few months ago
 
But I lack motivation to play old games again..

" @bhhawks78:  They're games, not movies. Replaying a game should be for its gameplay, not the story.  If the only redeemable feature in a game is the storyline, there's something wrong. "

Of course.

Yup. Both of the games that I'm playing right now are older games that I've already beaten.

Yes I do.

I will have to kindly retort your statement by saying, "THAT IS BULLSHIT". Anyone who plays RPGs  (especially Jrpg's, Deus ex, and bioware games) know damn well that story is just as important if not more than gameplay. "

Yeah, or they wouldn't be my favorites

well i should...

yes sir, usually its a shit ton of my nes games, also i'm on my 21st playthrough of earthbound

It really depends on the game. I go back through and play most of the major Zelda games at least once a year or so and can still really enjoy them. As for other games that I'm not a fanboy of it's a mixed bag. Currently going through Half Life 2  + Episode 1 and 2 again and it's still an amazing experience. Tried to play through Doom 3 again however and got bored about an hour in.
