TopicCan a game be one of your favorites if you don't care to ever play it again?

I think this is an interesting question. I think a key indicator of a game's quality is replayability. Not artificial replayability for different endings or because of DLC, just purely the exact same game over again. It's happened to me a lot in recent years that I find I don't care to play a game again, even though I loved it. For example, I loved the Mass Effect series and Red Dead Redemption, and at the time that I was playing them, I thought they would definitely end up as some of my favorite games. But after about 100 hours in the Mass Effect universe and about 35 hours in the Red Dead universe, I don't care to spend any more time in those worlds or hear the same story told again.
My top 8 (I can only name a definitive 8) games are all gameplay-centric experiences that I can play over and over again. Okami is the only game on the list that has story, characters, and world of any real consequence. I've played through Okami twice, and I'll play it again in December when it rereleases.
I'm probably not alone in thinking this, but I'm curious if anybody counts games they only played through once as some of their absolute favorites.
