Reader Discussion – What Game Have You Bought The Most Times?
Early on in this console cycle, we were hit with a deluge of remasters. In lieu of a great lineup of original games, companies were content to resell their older games (which could often run poorly on older consoles) give them a minor facelift while they figured out what they wanted to do on the new system. It wasn't the most offensive thing to do, but it certainly was an dark portend that maybe consoles weren't what they used to be. Thankfully, that's proven to not have been the case, and there are more great new games coming out than ever.
That said, there's always those games we end up buying multiple times just because they're that good. So with all the remasters out in the wild, we want to know: what game have you bought the most times? My guiltiest purchase is regularly Resident Evil 4, a game I've bought on every console it's been on except for the PlayStation 2 and 3. I've played through the Gamecube, Wii, Xbox 360, and Steam versions multiple times, and will likely buy it again on PS4 (...and maybe Xbox One too). It's such a good game! I can't help myself!
So what game has the highest batting average when it comes to getting you to open up your wallet? Let us know in the comments.
