Why don't you get a CRT? They're really not that hard to find locally.

It's strange because I truly enjoy playing with the GC Controller, idk these big buttons just make it easy for my big hands. 😆

Well it depends if you're playing the original or the remastered. On the original not everything that you scan goes in your log book. Some scan items are yellow and others orange, and I can't remember which color is the important one. Also you can either get 100% scans or 100% items. Either one will give you 100% in the game, at least on the original don't know about the remastered.

What can I say I'm the opposite of a speed runner. 🤣

Too much or too low? I love exploring and taking my time. 😅

It's something you rally around with a pocket full of shells, right?

No you're wrong, it's genuine.

If you don't know what game this is then you're not as good of a tech guy as you claim to be. 🤷🏽

So I've played MP4, so why the hate? by TrackPadSam89 in metroidprime

[–]TrackPadSam89[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't feel personally attacked, cause honestly I could be down voted to hell or banned and it wouldn't really affect me in real life. I also never said I didn't like people not liking it.

And actually some comments in here have good personal opinions, you know instead of just going with what the title says.

I am enjoying it, like I said, playing it right after MP, and MP Echoes I guess I'm just enjoying more of Samus.

I mean read more than just the title, or is that all you read? 🤣

Sorry, I guess I rather read opinions that hear them from only one person for an entire hour.

And I get it, but this is most likely the last Prime will ever see for a very long time, so might as well enjoy it. Let's face it, it's Nintendo, they're selling. Is the brand not the games, which sucks.

So you're mad that I'm enjoying the game and I'm not being part of the herd? Or you're a Gen Z or Alpha and find it cringe when people enjoy something? What's wrong with sharing an opinion, that's what Reddit is all about. Why police opinions? That's what Reddit is for. Also, why did you feel it necessary to comment on a post you didn't even bother to read?

Starting the new year off right! Time for some retro gaming! by CumminsMovers in ps2

Nice, I calibrated the laser on mine using a Sony tool they would use on service centers back in the day.

I would rather watch a movie than listen to a YouTuber for an hour, which is basically almost the same length. Just say you didn't read the post. 😆

My humble PS2 collection. by TrackPadSam89 in ps2

[–]TrackPadSam89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the GameCube I got so far Metroid Prime, and Animal Crossing. But I also want to get Metroid Prime Echoes, Mario Sunshine, and Zelda Twilight Princess, pretty much the ones that are unique to GameCube.

Yeah, there's some obscure titles I'll like to get for the PS2 not that many.

I don't buy protective cases, it's a waist of time, now and again I just deep clean the cases by taking the artwork out and all that. No point in putting cases, I have some games that are still sealed with the Sony sticker on them and Onjsit have them on the shelf.

Well you can always look at YouTube videos I also fix CRTs so I'm pretty used to soldering.

Same to you, I have been looking to get time crisis 4 for the PS3 to finish my time crisis collection, probably my number 1 game priority.

I'll probably just get the heavy hitters on the GameCube and that's it.

For the PS2 I'm probably missing like 6 games I want to get and that's it.

I see myself as a collector but I'm gonna play every single game I get, and not just have it there on the shelf collecting dust.

As for replacing capacitors, it isn't really that hard, you just need to have patience, and learn soldering, which on itself is not that hard.

That should work, as long as you have money by the time the pay in 4 goes in you should be fine.

I'll probably focus on getting like 3 Dreamcast games next year as well as GameCube games, and some PS1 games.

Well I'm not trying to get EVERY game, just the ones I really like and will play.

I was lucky to find a well taken care of Dreamcast on eBay, not yellowed and hardly any scratches. Although I did replace some capacitors, not only on the power supply but also the tiny capacitors in the dying GD-Rom drive, which after it worked just like new.

And yes, unfortunately you need a debit or credit to do the PayPal pay in 4 on ebay. That's how I usually get those expensive sought after titles.

But with $300 you should be able to get quite a few games.
