i also bought resident evil 4 5 different times (ps2, wii, ps3, pc, ps4). it would have been 6 on the switch, but apparently that port is pretty bad? and i also realized while playing it on ps4 that no version of re4 will ever be as good as the wii port.
so ive been thinking about this all day
at first i thought it was earthbound cuz i have had three copies of that, but they were all gifts!
oh it must be mario 3! i bought that one today technically on the switch shop but NO. ive had the same nes copy of mario 3 my whole life
i had 3 copies of 101 dalmatians on the dreamcast, but those were basically found in the trash
then it hit me and noo NOOOOOOOO. its fucking skyrim. i bought it twice. once on 360 when it came out and again on ps4. im that guy! the skyrim buyer!!
u got skyRIMMED
do games in compilations count? if so it might be marathon SURPRISE
i did it, i rimmed the sky
I’ve double dipped a few. But, I think this is my only triple dip.
I owned RE4 on GC, PS2, Wii, PC, 360. I’d probably buy it on Switch if it was sub-$10.
Dog Days on 360/PS3 (physical and digital) and Steam.
Katamari Damacy on PS2 and Switch. Very worth it.
Super Mario Bros. 2 on NES and the remake on Gameboy Advance. Very not worth it.
I’ve definitely bought RE4 too many times but I never regret
it’s just like comfort food
Split/Second on the X360, then on sale on the PS3, and now i have that game in my Steam-basket.
Remember Me X360, PS3
Nier(1) X360, PS3
Star Ocean 4 X360, PS3
Child of Eden X360, PS3
… you see where this is going, right.
otoh! Tied for first:
Sanic Kart 2 Transformed: X360, PS3, PC
SotC: PS2, PS3, PS4
REZ: PS2, X360, PS4
split second was so cool
mgs as a series maybe. so many ports and followups
but uh, probably Symphony of the Night
PS1 twice, Dracula X Chronicles, Ps3, PS4
Spelunky on PC, PS3/Vita/PS4. I initially only bought it for Vita (which is the best version) but they were cross buy so I conveniently get to play Spelunky on any Sony console.
Same with Hotline Miami
Guilty Gear XX AC+ for PS2 and Reload for Vita and PC
Street Fighter 4 lord knows how many times
release nocturne on more things so i can buy it again
dragon’s dogma on everything basically
I love how double dipping is both shameful and a matter of pride
as in ecommerce, as with chips
Would gladly buy radiant silvergun a third time if they’d put it out for pc
