What is the game you have bought more times?

[lunanto]

I just bought the digital version of Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled for PS4 in the last sales, despite of having the Switch version of the game already. The reason for this is that I was really disappointed with the resolution of the game in the Nintendo system and it is one that I finished and enjoyed. However, this is not a common thing for me to do at all. I am not the kind of guy who usually double-dips or buys a game several times.

This made me think of the following: What is the game you have bought more times? For which systems? What were your reasons for doing so?

(I am sure ERA members will come up with utterly surprising answers).

 

[super-famicom]

I bought at least a dozen copies (Steam codes) of Hotline Miami to give away on the old site. It was on sale for like a dollar!

 

[Mary Celeste]

I have bought RE4 like 6 times for different platforms

 

[Fabriciosr]

I bought Diablo 3 four times.
First on PC, then PS3, PS4 and Xbox.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

I would say FFVII. The original, greatest hits PS1, when it came out via square Enix website, and then steam. and if it counts, Remake.

 

[killuglypop]

RE4
DQXI

 

[Ultima_5]

super mario bros and megaman 2 are probably up there.

RE4 and okami are getting up there too

 

[maximumzero]

Ignoring titles like Tetris that have seen various permutations throughout the years, it's probably Rayman 2: The Great Escape:

PC
Dreamcast
Nintendo 64
Nintendo DS
Playstation (Via PSP)
Nintendo 3DS

 

[DrForester]

Final Fantasy VI

SNES
PS1
GBA
Wii Virtual Console
Steam
iOS
Android
SNES Classic

 

[DontHateTheBacon]

Final Fantasy VII
Ocarina of Time
Everbody's Golf (weirdly enough)

 

[Christmastree55]

I will never buy I game I currently own on another platform. I don't know why, it's a personal pet peeve. It feels like I'm wasting money.

 

[Abi]

Not sure if remakes count, but:

• Pokémon Red
• Pokémon Blue
• Pokémon Yellow
• Pokémon Fire Red
• Pokémon Leaf Green
• Pokémon Let's Go Eevee

 

[zashga]

Probably Xenoblade Chronicles, which I bought four times:

1. Imported from Europe
2. Original American release
3. 3DS re-release
4. Definitive edition for Switch this year

No regrets.

 

[Chopin the Third]

Shadow of the Colossus

Bought it on PS2, 3, and 4.

 

[Thiago]

Ocarina of Time:

• N64
• GameCube (it was a preorder bonus for The Wind Waker, but in my country I had to pay for it)
• GameCube again lol (Zelda Collector's Edition)
• Wii Virtual Console
• 3DS

 

[zaxil456]

I've brought Tomb Raider (2013) and Rise of the Tomb Raider about 3 times each.

PC first then PS4 then Xbox. In the case of TR2013, I'm pretty sure I never spent more than $5.

 

[JMY86]

Dark Souls. I have purchased it 7 times between the original and remastered.

Original
PC x 1
PS3 x1
Xbox 360 x 2

Remastered
PC x 1
PS4 x 1
Xbox One x 1

 

[JC1936]

Don't think I've bought on more than two platforms, but I have (IMHO) double dipped too often! Have curbed that some since double-dipping on Borderlands 3 back in April when it came to Steam (had it on PS4 prev), as I have invested 99% of my free time in that game.

 

[IDreamOfHime]

Not the game I rebought the most, but I just so happenedto buy Dark Souls in the Switch sale an hour or so ago. So that's PS3, 360, PS4, Switch Physical (which I lost) and now Switch digital.

 

[Deleted member 1102]

Final Fantasy VIII on PS1, PC x2, PS3/PSP, Switch and PS4 x2

Resident Evil 4 on PS2, Wii, PS3, PS4 and PC

 

[Bradbatross]

I had to buy CoD 4 like 3 or 4 times because my disk kept ongetting scratched up.

 

[woolyninja]

Whenever I get a new console that has VVVVVV available I always buy it to play through it again. Last time was on the Switch!

 

[supercommodore]

Probably final fantasy IX, my GOAT game.

1. Original release on PSX
2. PSP/PS3/PS Vita version
3. Switch version
4. Xbox version
5. PC version (for moguri mod)

Edit: Looks like I'm not the only one, lol

 

[evilromero]

I can't think of anything I've bought more than twice. Super Mario Bros. DX on GBC if that counts. Doom 3 BFG Edition for Doom 3. The various Mario Advance games although they're also kind of enhanced more than just straight ports.

Actually I'll say Doom. 32X, SNES, PSX and PS3 collection.

 

[GeekyDad]

Okami: PS2, Wii, Steam, and this morning for Switch

[Qwark]

Probably Sonic games, I usually buy the Genesis collections and that's in every one, plus a couple single purchases on 3DS, PS3, etc.

 

[Adder7806]

RE4 is at the top with 4 I think.

 

[Dyno]

Probably rocket league as I have it on switch ps4 and pc since before it was f2p

 

[jotun?]

Dark Souls is the only one that I can even think of. Got the PS3 original as a gift, but by the time I got around to playing it the remaster was out, so I got that on pc instead.

For old console games that I already own, I'll just use emulators rather than buy rereleases.

 

[julia crawford]

I don't have the money for this

 

[Akumatica]

Okami = 9 times-
PS2 -JP
PS2 -NA
Wii

[maouvin]

I guess it's Diablo 3, on PC, PS4 and Switch.

Also have Borderlands 2 on PC, Vita and PS4 (HC), but the HC was a gift.

Ah, and I bought Gravity Rush 3 times (Vita and 2x on PS4 - the first purchase was refunded due to pricing error on my local PSN, but the license took like 6 months to expire, so I played it "for free" and spent the refund on other stuff. Bought it again recently then).

 

[SirKai]

PS2
PS3 (download)
PS3 (JP version bundled with RE:CVX)

[MrFox]

If remakes count... Ratchet trilogy on PS2, the remasters on PS3, then the digital version on sale when a friend had borrowed my physical copy, then the remake on PS4 which is the game based on the film based on the game, then the digital version of that one when it was on sale.

I also bought bugsnax on PS4 knowing I would get it again for free 3 days later with my PS5. What was I supposed to play that weekend that felt a lifetime? I'm glad it counts for 2 platinum.

 

[bionic77]

Excluding sports games probably ChronoTrigger and Street Fighter 2 (if that counts because there were like 7 versions of this game and I must have bought it at least 5 times).

I love CT so much that other than on phones (where I did buy it) I will buy and complete it on every platform it comes out for. I think the most recent one was DS and that was a ton of fun. That game never seems to get old for me.

 

[KTroopA]
