How often do you replay otome/BL games? If you do, do you only replay certain routes/parts or whole game?

[fraizumin]

I noticed that i often return to completed otome and BL games to replay some routes of my favorite characters, at least once in year or two. What about you?

 

[m000000]

I usually sell my games secondhand after I finish them, so I don't really replay them lol. If I really feel the urge to revisit one, I'll just buy it again later.
I also prefer replaying specific routes rather than doing a full completion run. Going through everything again feels kind of boring to me since I already know what happens.

I don't usually replay the same game unless it has a sequel and I played the first title for a long time. In that case, I play it again to recap everything and familiarize myself with the LIs. That's what I'm doing with Hakuoki, since I want to play SSL and it's been a long time since I last played Hakuoki. I think besides that, the only game I'm thinking of replaying is Amnesia Memories so I can finally try to complete Ikki and Ukyo's routes.

I tend to replay the whole game out of nostalgia , or just pure obsession that I feel in the moment! That's why I can't progress my backlog

 

[dark_nya]

I rarely replay games and replay all available routes in the game.

 

[bravelyflee]

If I really like a game I will replay it immediately so I can catch all the foreshadowing and see things from a new perspective.

I rarely replay games, especially since I have a huge backlog. The only time I do is if there's a sequel/fandisc released and it has been a long time since I've played the first game and want a refresher. Although I rarely replay games, I sometimes like to replay my fave scenes.

 

[lambdadelta]

just my favorite routes, or revisit my favorite scenes. if there's a route i dislike i probably won't bother playing it again... but i think i can only do that if it's a work i feel strongly about, if it's just okay i probably won't find the motivation for a replay;;;;;

 

[sawayaka]

i dont replay games cuz i 100% if i can from the get-go. but there r times when i replay certain scenes if i rlly liked them

 

[voIuvreles]

I'll replay an otome game if I'm feeling real nostalgic, and usually it's just my favourite routes

 

[Deleted member 500900]

I tend to replay only my absolute favorites as I have a never-ending backlog that only grows.

 

[fr4pp3cinn]

I replay games quite often when I really like then. If it's been a while since I last played, I will replay all good endings. Otherwise, only my favorite routes. I rarely replay bad endings.

 

[Koori]

To me while not a case that happens often, there are some games where there's at least 1 route that I know I would likely come back to replaying later on out either out of nostalgia or just really wanting to go through that one specific story again.

Sometimes, though in a reaallly rare case, I end up feeling the sentiment for the whole game (if often it comes with a ''maybe if a time comes where I forget things to the point I can semi-reexperience the twists from a blank slate all over again'' drawback)

 

[blackflag]

If i feel the urge to replay something, its generally just one or two routes and not the full game. But I never sell the game unless i have multiple copies.

 

[Fornstrand]

Not very often, I only really replay my favorite routes. It's usually more tempting to read something new in my free time rather than come back to something I've already experienced once.

 

[zhaobudao]

Replaying just feels so tiring, and it never hits the same as that first playthrough. When I want to reminisce, I just listen to the game's BGM, look at screenshots, and read old posts about it.

 

[Norland]

I rarely replay games because I can remember the story & plot for a very long time. I only replay a game when I've forgotten about 60–70% of the plot. In terms of time, it's usually around 1 or 2 years, longer if the plot is especially unique and memorable.

 

[K66K66]

I usually only replay games that I particularly enjoy, and that's when I've almost forgotten the plot. Depending on the game, I might replay the entire game, or just replay the route of certain characters.

 

[chizee]

I usually don't play it again after playing a game, but I often look at the screenshots in the album. Because I generally find these screenshots very interesting. When I see these screenshots, I can think of the plot of the game.

 

[あ～ん]

Replaying takes a lot of time, so if I want to replay I just save my favourite moments (while I play it first time) and load into it~

 

[mikoto]

I usually only replay it when it gets ported—just my favorite routes and any new added content.

 

[kjdsh]

I usually only replay my favourite routes, it takes too much time to replay the whole game but if I have forgotten the plot I replay the game from the start.

 

[Wonted]

I only replay games when there's a sequel or if it gets stuck in my head like a craving or something

 

[Zen Sega]

don't do it very often but once a six month i do fell into urge to replay some of my fav bl. i rarely replay whole thing for many reasons but i always read routes of the characters i like. couple months ago i tried to reread Shingakkou but stopped at August route because i just can't make myself to do it

 

[Sacchie]

I usually never replay any otoge, even tho it's my fave, I might check some scene if the game shows options for visiting certain scene tho..
