Games I want to replay but don't want to because...
Elder Scrolls Oblivion because I know it will suck me in for 100 hours plus and I have other important things to do
Elder Scrolls Skyrim Special Edition - see Oblivion
Edit: I'll also end up spending hours trying to mod them both which will take even more time.

Same for GTAs with me - just some stuff that is no real fun to go through and no sense of accomplishment either if you finally get past those bits.
I keep wanting to replay Half-Life or the Black Mesa version but I know that what is really drawing me is the impression left by the overall experience and some sections are so dated gameplay wise a good bit won't be that interesting as an experience now.
Some others like Drakan (order of the flame) and Omikron that I never did justice to on first play through and kind of want to go back replay them but know that I'd get too bored with a lot of the poor mechanics especially combat or just random puzzles that don't make much sense, etc.

On the opposite end of the scale, I've completed the main story a few times, and even got a 100% save game (all side missions, collectibles etc).
Warcraft 3 and The Frozen Throne expansion.
My memory of playing through the campaigns on each of these games, drinking beer at night for hours in my twenties are just too happy for me. I simply couldn't re-live the experience now I don't think. Kids, wife and a mortgage frankly destroy that notion.

Interesting topic.
FFX and Dues Ex I just remember too much.
Rimworld - Burnt out
I played that with headphones and the lights off.
Until I had to fight something.

If you would have started on the single player you would have probably liked it. The multiplayer is rubbish imo. Just a load of boring missions and races or free roam deathmatch that gets boring after a couple of hours. GTA is all about the story driven single player for me, then if you still crave for that sandbox deathmatch fun after that then move to the multiplayer. Plus exploring the world is much more fun when you do it as part of the main story and not just jump in the fastest sports car and drive around the entire map in a few minutes. At least for me anyway.

Would love to play the last of us again but have now completed it about 13 times and don't want it to lose it's charm. I might play it the night before TLOU2
The mirror was the only thing in that game the creeped me out really.
"Without touching single player" isn't entirely true. I probably had about an hours worth of play time purely in single player - but as I said, I just wasn't drawn in the same way I was with the previous games.
Final Fantasy 7 - Loved that game played it a few times all the way through, now it's the overly long cut scenes that put me off (although, having said that I've recently installed the HD mod and it has resparked my interest but I struggle going back to it regularly)
I struggle to replay games like the Final Fantasy series because of the need for grinding combat to level up, it's okay to do the first time through the game because I'm pushing through for the story.
When I know what's coming and the amount I need to grind for a certain point in the game, it starts to feel like more of a draining task.
I'm not keen on replaying campaigns on RTS games such as Command & Conquer or Supreme Commander, they're often too restricting to go through them more than once.
Similar issue with FPS campaigns... they're often extremely linear, so a second play through becomes too dull to finish.
Assassin's Creed Black Flag is another I can't replay (from the beginning at least), as much as I enjoy the game for it's naval combat I hate the need to progress the story to unlock things.

Indeed. 20y ago had more time, was younger and could last few days without sleep. Especially trying to do some mining away from pk times.....

Also Elder scrolls oblivion. Because graphics don't look that good today, trying to patch It with mods takes hours, and those potato heads drive me nuts.
But I want to spend another play through to it
That's next on my list, having done a big playthrough on Morrowwind with the awesome overhaul mod.
I'll be modding Oblivion to within an inch of it's life before hand though.

I'd probably have a heart attack if i did that. I'd also go all bruce lee on anyone who'd casually walk in bedroom if i played the game like that. I rreealllyyy dont get how you can play games like that, you guys are crazy.
Going back many a moon.
Hobbit on C64.
I was only 3-4 screens away from getting home and completing it when I stopped at a friendly elf's and kept saying "hello" (i think it was hello) On every 3rd "hello" he would give you a sandwich.
I ate too much and died....................
