When I've completed a game I feel little replay motive

Because I've already seen everything.

    I am Dr. Ned who is totally not Dr. Zed in disguise.
    I agree, especially one where I've done the majority of exploring.

    The only factor against this is an RPG system with classes/things you can't have in one play-through.

    I like to rewatch movies, so I don't have this issue with cutscene-driven games.

    I usually don't replay games within a year of beating them, but I've made exceptions for Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 lately.

    It works for games like Super Mario Galaxy 2, though, because aiming for 100% completion allows you to do a lot of stuff you haven't gotten to yet.

    Play games that have tons of post-story content.

    I'm 300 hours in Disgaea 3, and I still haven't got everything. Then again, I lost it, so it's not like I can work on that....

    I'm this way about almost all of my games, no matter how great they are. It sucks.

    It just means you haven't found That One Glorious Game yet.

    Just keep looking. Some day, you will.

    Which is probably why I was interested in D&D, and other tabletop RP systems.  It's because the possible experiences are practically endless.

    Eh, I'd rather have any video game over a Tabletop RP.

    Both have their advantages and disadvantages.

    But you never had any to begin with.
    This is exactly the reason I haven't fought either bonus boss of FFIV DS yet.

    "I usually don't replay games within a year of beating them, but I've made exceptions for Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 lately."

    The opposite is true for me. I'll replay most games and I loved MGS3, but I never, ever want to play it again.

    Personally, I used to like the idea of bonus bosses, but now, I feel they are too often haphazardly shoehorned into the game for the sake of a challenge (especially in an otherwise easy game).

    I find short games more replayable than long games because they require less commitment to restart. That and I like to play such games until I've mastered them, such as with Bit.Trip and its PERFECT! acknowledgement.
