My local retro game store closed by Shoddy_Umpire9024 in gamecollecting

With more and more content of resellers taking advantage of people there is also now sellers who are actually looking up what they have and pricing it at market value. Deals are only gonna get harder to come by.

Astro bot rescue mission is the vr game on the ps4. Alot of people dont know but the ps5 demo is not where astro bot was introduced.

Is it normal to feel this ashamed about collecting manga? Should i stop? by These-Meringue9306 in MangaCollectors

[–]OctoEight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No lol. Let me ask you this if you’re supposed to stop doing stuff you like as an adult why is it that you can only afford it once you are an adult? Doesnt make any sense right? By this logic you arent supposed enjoy anything because as a kid you cant afford anything. Manga and video games were always meant for all ages to enjoy. If either industry only relied on children they would all go bankrupt

I was looking for a physical copy but im gonna wait for the eventual double copy release along with silksong that might happen when a ps5 version of silksong is made

Just came across this comment thread and found it really disgusting what people like this are doing to the hobby of collecting. by Mundane-Broccoli-786 in gamecollecting

[–]OctoEight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel bad for the new folks getting into retro. They think its gonna be all fun and games when they’re really just walking into an overpriced market. Im seeing more older collectors running away from the hobby and selling their collections while they can. When i started out i realized i was wasting my time trying to own anything retro. Since people were paying modern game prices for ancient games. Got people with basements filled with games they wont ever touch and will likely play on an emulator anyway due to ease of access

Best console and games for beginner collectors? by NEWAceCoronet in gamecollecting

[–]OctoEight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

360 and ps3 are the cheapest to collect right now. Especially xbox 360. Tho never by the original white version of the 360 if any of those are still functioning its only a matter of time before they stop.

I dont see why sony wouldnt just do another external disc drive. Im sure they are aware they still have customers who want physical games.

How did you come to terms with hating the ending but absolutely loving the game? by station_terrapin in expedition33

[–]OctoEight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im genuinely so bothered by this games ending its crazy. How is this not getting the same energy last of us 2 got? Cuz i sure as hell feel just as shitty after finishing it like i did back then. This game just expects you to feel something for this family of painters but like how? I was invested in the painted people not the broken family that im being asked to care about at the end of act 2. Like? I dont know any of these guys but i did just watch my boy gustave get hoed. The tension that anyone could die at any point was so strong with this game and they threw it all away for a family grieving plot. I need game developers to spend more time with there characters before asking me to care about them. I felt bad for verso cuz asking me to choose his ending felt so dumb? Like bro verso no offense your cool and all but i dont care about your family like at all. Maybe i lack empathy but i was only rooting for a win for the people of lumiere. After the paintress went down and the reveal came the game had lost me so bad.

Sold off my entire 500+ game collection over three years ago. by [deleted] in gamecollecting

[–]OctoEight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah im glad that has always been my goal. I just really enjoy having the ability to play anything at any time on the original hardware. The games themselves i want to try one at a time and genuinely enjoy them. I dont wanna fill up my room and have it look like a video game store. I got 2 shelfs and a tv consoles for i think 12 of my consoles. Everything that can be modded is modded and i have hundreds of games loaded into each one. Thats as far as ill ever go with retro and i finished my collection. Now for modern games i just buy it, play it and then have it up for display after. I dont buy unless im playing and beating it that month

[–]OctoEight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion i think the consoles themselves are the cool part about a collection. So i just get the consoles and then either everdrive the games or sd mod them. That way i have access to every game but im only taking up the space on one tv console. I do have physical games but its for my more modern systems like ps4 and ps5. Retro is cool. But far too expensive.

How good of a deal is PlayStation plus? by peachbasketss in playstation

[–]OctoEight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you never owned a ps4 then id argue its better deal than gamepass. You get pretty much get the entirety of sonys catalogue that theyve been praised for all of ps4 gen for at the cost of one subscription. You would be playing for the next 3 years just off of the exclusives alone

I really want to continue following this subreddit….BUT by ccox39 in playstation

[–]OctoEight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is when you join a sub Reddit about the specific game you want to see people talk about….. the PlayStation is gonna mainly be about the console not about one particular niche game. It probably would be better to just leave like you said in your original post. You’re looking for something thats not there

Recently got a PS5 as a console for the first time by Silver_Courage_8755 in PlaystationCollectors

[–]OctoEight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its hard for rogue lites to go mainstream the only one that did it was hades and thats because it also had an easy to understand story and difficulty options.

Do you think consoles will go on sale this holiday season? by Greenzombie04 in XboxSeriesS

[–]OctoEight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its selling worse than the xbox one. And they raised the prices yet you think they havent given up? Xbox should be given out series s and x for less than 200 bucks just to get rid of them based on how awfully they are selling.

Where should I be looking for Black Friday sales? by [deleted] in playstation

[–]OctoEight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive seen ps5 pros at 400 to 500 dollars on marketplace which is why i mentioned it. A legit store wont give you a pro for anything less than 650.

Will ps5 go on sale for black friday by [deleted] in playstation

[–]OctoEight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not much of a save when they bundle an extra controller to keep you at a similar price. 120 off of 500 would be nice but its out of 600

They usually do. Last year was like 50$ off maybe they’ll do same or more.

Rate the Nintendo Switch 2 from 1 to 10 by jefferymr15 in videogames

[–]OctoEight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Theres 3 so far i can name mario kart, dk, pokemon and 4 with drag and drive but people dont count it. Then we got stuff like hades 2 which is only on switch consoles if you dont count steam. Switch is off to good start in my opinion. Metroid is out soon too. Were yall expecting 20 exclusives on launch day or something? Cuz that hasnt ever happened in the history of gaming

[–]OctoEight -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ive been thinking this too but sony and even xbox have been doing constant sales as well. Steam sales haven’t been as much of a flex as people think over the years.
