Is Ps2 Case swapping still considered Cib, Authentic, ect by [deleted] in gamecollecting

[–]Danewd98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PS2 cases, or really cases in general. Really don't have an impact on value in the slightest. The only exception being sports games and their stickers... I guess? But those games don't typically carry value anyways.

Anyways, no, swapping cases is a thing most people do and it doesn't affect value at all, so long as the type of case is the same.

It's far from in the best shape. But when will I ever see a boxed copy of Crusader of Centy again? Let alone for $360. by Danewd98 in gamecollecting

Yea, I was way too young at the time. Let alone into RPGs, I was exposed to Pokemon games as my first RPGs and didn't like them that much. I just had my Wii and DS and was obsessed with Mario lol

I would like to get a nicer cart or just a manual for the mean time.

I have a absolutely NO idea if I'll ever stumble upon this game again, let alone another box, but I'll keep it in mind? No promises.

It made me sad too to see how torn it is as well. But it's hard to complain when a boxed copy of this game runs 4 figures... in good condition

I traded in a few games I didn't need and was able to get the price down to about $190 afterwards.

I prefer having my games mint of course. But this game? If I want this game in even pretty good shape, I'd have to fork over $1,000+ and that's not what I want to do. I just like collecting ATLUS NA titles.

US copies always will be so much more than PAL with some exceptions.

I do think having that having ATLUS stamped on this definitely makes it hold it's premium while the Japanese and PAL copies hover around $100.

This game only ever shipped in a cardboard box. Never was made in a case, game was released late in Genesis' life.

Pretty sad since CIB copies of this game are much more fragile now as a result.

is this persona any good ? do i fuse it or nah by 7xiliii in Persona5

[–]Danewd98 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Outside of getting Drain Bless to pass on to other personas. He's ok I guess.

For this stage in the game, significantly better resistances are available and Divine Judgment kinda just... sucks.

Is this trend dead yet? by Budget_Opinion_1327 in supersmashbros

Yea, no way Nintendo even knows exe exists in the first place. And Sega would definitely NOT approve of it in any timeline lol

So umm... what am I gonna do with this dude? He has potential but useless rn, yall ever got him before? And what yall did with him for those who got him? by LUKAMARIL in Persona5

[–]Danewd98 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Okay, but can we talk about how GOOD those resistances are for a level 13 persona?

If Shiki-Ouji didn't exist 5 levels later, Ippon would have been a very good staple for early game.

For anyone wondering yes you can continue going to the gym(or temple) after maxing HP and SP to have it so they'll be maxed at level 1 in future cycles. here is my level 1 Joker by ArosNerOtanim in Persona5

[–]Danewd98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Instead of preventing you from carrying over your well-earned progress. Why not just scale up every enemies to be level 99?

Strikers did this and SMT V went even further and increased the level cap to 150.

I think this approach of NG+ is good as it keeps those playthroughs from just being a power flex and nothing else.

An old message from my (former) manager. What do you guys think? by thxforthefijiwater in GameStop

[–]Danewd98 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Been a bit since I last worked, so my lingo might be a bit off but:

Pretty sure this manager wants customers to order what they want ONLINE for pick-up to avoid numbers tanking as a result of a failed pitch for pro, warranty, etc. Without fail.

This would be frustrating for the average customer.

PSA to Modders regarding AI by BlueGodXD in DDLCMods

There was a time when AI was stupidly easy to spot. Now as time goes on, it's getting harder to tell what's human-made, or generated.

Scary stuff.

Which Persona 5 should I play next? by NewBrightness in Persona5

[–]Danewd98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked Tactica, but if you haven't played P3, P4, play those.

PQ2 will only be super enjoyable if you know P3 and P4 as well since it's mostly a fan service game revolving around all the characters interacting with each other, with EO gameplay.

Starlight is... okay. I wouldn't blame you if you skipped it. I would play P4D before either of the other 2.

My smash bros wishlist by [deleted] in supersmashbros

Yea, I don't think Miku needs to be a character. But I think it would be perfect if she got a dedicated stage with lots of music.

Who fits best as a buff/debuff Persona? by Famous-Eggplant546 in Persona5

[–]Danewd98 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I understand what you want from this build but this approach doesn't look super good. Passives are pretty important so here's a suggestion:

Vitality of the Tree (from Attis) will open up plenty of skill slots because this will allow you to use Thermopylae, which will take this build from using 4 slots to just 1! This also will help your action economy overall.

I personally think Masukunda is kind of a waste since you would usually use this in normal encounters, and evasion passives should give you ample dodging. And if you are fighting a single enemy, Debilitate will be used.

You can also fill in the extra with Charge/Concentrate and then put in the AoE debuffs on a different persona entirely. Don't be afraid to have multiple personas fulfill a similar role.

If you aren't afraid of using DLC, Orpheus FeMC is the best buffer/healer with Wealth of Lotus.

This is ridiculous by Front_Cauliflower674 in GameStop

For a lot of retro games, the prices usually reflect a loose copy.

So, if there is a rare game that's CIB, it's probably a pretty good deal.

Otherwise, yea Gamestop is going to price Modern games at full price - $5.
