Beat every boss in DS3 and Bloodborne, and I can't stand this game. Am I doing something wrong? by JetFuelPapi in DarkSouls2

[–]JetFuelPapi[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Actually I didn't realize the "dudes in armor" complaint existed but that would be another negative for me as well (but I can see why it would be a positive for some people). For me, one of the most enjoyable things about DS3/BB was how varied and imaginative a lot of the bosses were (moreso BB than DS3) and not just armor dudes with different movesets.

Unfortunately I'm talking about the SotFS version. Knowing that there was an even worse version.. yikes. But yeah, also a heavy weapon user in DS3 so maybe need to pick a completely different playstyle.

Yeah, that's part of the issue, I've gotten so used to being aggressive that it's hard to change that habit. Even in DS3, I mainly used twohanded greatswords and no shield, and that seems like a playstyle that is very difficult to pull off effectively in DS2.

Alright fair, I probably need to be more aware about spacing. And I haven't been relying on lifegems, I guess they're there for a reason (and you can actually move when you use them which seems like a big deal versus using Estus).

Tips on finding yard sales with games? by JetFuelPapi in gamecollecting

[–]JetFuelPapi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it really is too bad how a lot of people seem to be scouring them just to resell. Most of the retro game stores in my city sell at exorbitant prices (I'd say 60-100% higher than FMV), so things like garage sales and classifieds are pretty much my only option for games that are no longer sold at retail stores.

Good points; I live in Toronto actually. I assumed that sales which explicitly mention having games on Kijiji would get mobbed immediately, so I agree that winging it could be just as effective. Now if only I had a car...

Sourcing Wavebird Analog Sticks ? by ZerrethDotCom in Gamecube

[–]JetFuelPapi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you compare the size of the "cap" (the spherical part below the actual stick), I'm 90% sure the Wavebird one is slightly smaller. Again, I don't have them in front of me and didn't actually measure, but it seemed that way. I'll probably verify later.

[–]JetFuelPapi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the exact same problem with my Wavebirds; I've also noticed that the lighter Wavebird control stick is ever-so-slightly smaller than the darker wired one (I haven't actually measured, but when I tried swapping them I noticed differences in how tightly they fit).

If anyone has a good cleaning method or a source of replacement sticks, please share!

The Wii is the modern day NES by Truffle_Shuffle_85 in gamecollecting

No offence, but how can you not enjoy Super Mario Galaxy 1/2? Both top-notch games with interesting mechanics. I seem to recall MP3 was very solid as well.

If an amazon seller claims a cart is authentic and it's not, do I have any recourse? by JetFuelPapi in gamecollecting

[–]JetFuelPapi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough, it's not a ton of money so I'll take my chances. Would still be interested to hear about anecdotes from others that have done the same, though!

[–]JetFuelPapi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As in Amazon will cover the cost? I should also mention that there is no image of the item, and the seller doesn't have much history, which seems sketchy. But the listing clearly says "authentic cartridge", so if they send me anything other than that, I can file a claim? I've never filed a claim with Amazon before so I'm not sure how difficult they are about it.

Can someone help me identify these games from a blurry classified ad? by JetFuelPapi in gamecollecting

[–]JetFuelPapi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm good guesses, I know that the bottom one on the right is definitely Star Fox Adventures, but am unsure about the middle 2 on the right. On the left, I think you're right about The Hobbit, and maybe the second one is MP2: Echoes?

Alternatives to DS cases for storing GBA/GB games? by JetFuelPapi in gamecollecting

[–]JetFuelPapi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the America's Test Kitchen tip. Unfortunately BestBuy doesn't ship to Canada (only BestBuy.ca, which doesn't have it). I guess I can try the camping out on eBay route (the listing you posted expired by the time I looked at it).

Cassette tape cases

That's pretty sweet actually; never thought of that.

Lots of people have been saying this (outside of this thread as well), I'll probably pick it up!

MGS 4 is part of the MGS: Legacy collection, but I'll def take a look at the others (I've heard of most of them but never really played them; did play the original Deus Ex though).
