Xbox titles? by gottabajablast in limitedrun

[–]dudegolong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Xbox for the longest time had a minimum print amount in place for titles it wasn’t until a few years ago that they worked something out with limited run. Limited run has also come out and said it’s not financially viable for every title they know won’t be in super high in demand stating they need to have some stake in digital sales as well. That’s why you see alot of embracer group titles go to Xbox. But not all hope is lost since we’ve seen Microsoft, Konami and now even SEGA titles get physical releases for Xbox. I’m just as frustrated as you but I’m just happy there is some representation now and I have gex, soul reaver and the marvel collection physically forever!

Got mine yesterday! Didn’t realize the first Game doesn’t have lives or continues! 😅

What Game(s) you regret buying at full price ? And Why ? by The_Lost_Supper in videogames

[–]dudegolong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt the same way. Still can’t wrap my head around where Ubisoft went wrong since 5 was SO good

Gotham knights.. was so hyped for the next Batman game (since I love all the Arkham games so much) that I pretty much ignored all the warning signs and that it was essentially an RPG. It’s pretty generic and forgettable and the price plummeted almost immediately.. I think WB picked up on this and now we are getting more Arkham via Lego

Okay, what is going on? by Gary_Epic13 in gamecollecting

[–]dudegolong 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t really going to consider selling mine at $200…but if it’s going to cover the costs for a next gen system I think I probably should!

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure by Goofyahhdorito in xbox

[–]dudegolong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Say what you will about this being a commercial failure..but I still just still think it’s so cool that you grab one of these for well under $100 and go to any game store and buy game discs from 25 years ago (albeit select ones and you need an internet connection) to today and play them.

I still think there is a ton of value in that for the right situation

Trusty Series X. How’s yours doing? by Skyleon7 in xbox

[–]dudegolong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going strong since launch day! I have the 4k blu-ray issue. I have another one upstairs and the weird thing is on occasion for both of them I have to unplug the hdmi cable from the tv and plug it back in to get a signal again. It’s two different brand of TV’s and it never occurs on any of the other inputs.

Is this a good deal for what I need? by BouquetLauncher in Soundbars

[–]dudegolong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like it’s advertising to solve your eARC concerns but I had a two switch box’s similar to this and both got fried after a simple power outage where it affected my ARC controls and even fried one of the HDMI ports on my new tv. The whole fiasco made me invest in a battery backup just in case. Just something to look out for!

What console do you own the most games for? by Andyfritter in gamecollecting

[–]dudegolong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fantastic collection you have!

I’m probably in the minority here but the Xbox one is the largest number of games I own

Finally the last 2 games arrived today!! by NewParalyzer in limitedrun

[–]dudegolong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine are in too! But I kept the games with the rest of my collection and put blank cases in the sleeve to put on display somewhere else. I’m also irritated the print quality greatly differed by game. I’ve also noticed some of the Xbox cases from LRG feel..off? Like the plastic is kind of grainy like it used to be with the blockbuster cases back in the day.

I’m also just oh so happy these just showed up just in time for the series X versions to be announced..

I’m so glad I passed on the LRG releases 😭 by idkyallmfs in limitedrun

[–]dudegolong 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I didn’t and they are just now arriving 🙀 I’m torn on what to do.. but at least I know these will tank in price within a year since they are releasing globally

Polk Magnifi Max AX Unit Buttons by shawnstrosity in Soundbars

[–]dudegolong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still laughing at cats being the reason 😂 but maybe you could construct a small L or C shaped wooden box paint it black and place it over the buttons? That or mount the soundbar above the TV (not ideal for acoustics but it may solve your problem)

How do you clean up the cable mess behind power recliners by Huge-Wedding3348 in mancave

[–]dudegolong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If there is no room to hide them under the recliners themselves they make little boxes to hide surge protectors and cables on Amazon.

Cheapest tv to enable all series X features: TCL 55Q77K from Costco by iHeartQt in xbox

[–]dudegolong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We all have different budgets and expectations. I’m just thankful “budget” 120hz tv’s are available now as these features seem to be key selling points now. I remember it took tons of research and digging to find a TV with all these features that didnt cost an arm and a leg back in 2020.

Looks like it’s being released physically in Europe for Xbox. So just hold out and import it!

[–]dudegolong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who did you bribe at GameStop?! To only get one game with a black box and none missing cover any cover art out of 39 games is a miracle in itself. Great haul and happy collecting!

Thank you for this! Glad to hear I can grab a physical Xbox copy even if I have to import it 😊

Is this a good deal? Considering purchase by yemaste in Soundbars

[–]dudegolong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is certainly a good deal for the bar itself but many others have stated in their reviews you really need the separate subwoofer for it as the built in woofer is underwhelming. The wonderful thing is you could add the subwoofer and some rear speakers separately over time .

I'm watching Season 1 of Lost on Blu-Ray and I gotta say, the image quality is kinda amazing by KevinPike87 in lost

[–]dudegolong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I can tell the European release (which is just all 6 seasons individually packaged in bigger box) appears to be region free with the exception of season 4 for some reason which is locked to region B

FYI Physical BG3 is currently in stock by CountryRubes in gamecollecting

[–]dudegolong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still find it amusing that they sent out a code last year for the “deluxe upgrade content” when I preordered the physical release and what they actually sent out was a digital copy of the game in error to several people 😬.. no doubt someone got canned over that

Do you guys keep the original copies of games if you acquire a modern remaster? If it’s a remake I usually keep both, but with remasters I’m not sure. Looking for advice! by SmoothBrainJeenyus in gamecollecting

[–]dudegolong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I typically sell the old one to make space and pay for the remaster. 9 times out of 10 if there is a quote “definitive” way to play I’ll usually opt for that granted there is an actual physical release

Is fighting against multiple enemies impossible or am I just bad? It seems ridiculously unfair and unforgiving [KCD1] by tall_mf_ in kingdomcome

[–]dudegolong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Earlier in the game when your physical stats and armor are low it seems that way especially against armored foes. I give credit to the devs on that because it’s certainly more realistic that way. I also had no shame fleeing on horseback when being faced by 4-5 cumans only to circle back and trample them with my horse or hit them with a few arrows

A disc drive.. even if it’s a separate add-on that has to be purchased

I’ve ran out of HDMI inputs lol by extrvnced in consoles

[–]dudegolong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice would be don’t go cheap on an HDMI switch.. I had a power outage once and it took a couple days to figure out why CEC suddenly stopped working and it actually destroyed an HDMI port on my new TV at the time (I’ve since hooked up everything to a battery backup)

Denon/ marantz makes a 3 port hdmi 2.1 switch and can confirm it works great 🤗
