When the new God of War came out and looked good, I decided to play through the old games after giving up on the first for some reason back when it came out. I probably wouldn't still be doing that if they each weren't like 10 hours long or less a piece. Though I did skip the PSP games and watched the cutscenes on Youtube.

Though that's going to be funny since apparently the new one is like 40 hours. Probably end up getting done with III and Ascension and just not play the new one for a while anyway.

Have any of you ever sold off your collection to adopt a more spartan attitude towards games? What I mean is you get a new game, play it, dispose then get something else?

Yo.

I know some of you do that already, but have gone from having a ton of games to only a few? How did that work for you? Any regrets on selling off your collection?

Not really. There was some thread in E/N maybe a couple years ago with somebody who hoarded a bunch of junk and there were two replies in it that really resonated with me. One was "why have a bunch of cheap crap you don't like and instead have a few really cool things that might be expensive?", and the other was "why worry about losing stuff that you can easily get back if you change your mind later on?". I basically treat them like extended rentals and don't worry about stuff too much.

quote:

It seems that any game I want to play, I could always just purchase again so I wouldn't be losing much by selling things. I just wouldn't have the variety.

Yeah. I'd say the biggest thing is getting over past regrets. I hoarded my poo poo for so long because I made a really bad deal when I was young about selling off all my SNES games, but nowadays I got the few games I liked back and don't really sweat about the others because I clearly didn't need them.

It's also easier to justify selling games these days now that they mostly come with nothing and feel like they're already stored in disposable throwaway cases and since they don't ever truly become hard to find since you can always just buy a digital copy if you really want to play it and can't find it later.

Do 1-2 even hold up at this point?

I'm enjoying the original games for what it's worth, but I haven't touched the new one yet. There's lots of little bits that haven't aged well but overall they're pretty fun.

Someone should make some money making a place you can go if you want to play games out in the world so you can enjoy your hobby while still meeting people and not being a shut-in. Like console freeplay at pax.

The local game store that I sell my games at lets you rent out rooms to play games in. A lot of the times it's a bunch of kids in there playing Minecraft, but there was at least one time where there was a group of people in there playing Tales of Graces.

Why do people say the DS2 DLC is the best part of the the game? So far Brume Tower has been a gigantic pain in the rear end including reusing one of the worst bosses from the main game and seemly deliberately making the boss runs an utter pain. Apart from Fume Knight who was actually pretty cool.

I got to that boss after Fume Knight that requires you to go quickly through a memory filled with Alonne Knights as part of the boss run and said gently caress it to dealing with that poo poo again before quitting playing DS2, good luck.

Didn't bother with the other two DLC areas, gently caress that poo poo.

afaik nope, outside of them saying a few weeks before "hey the 8-bit game is now a prequel and also you need to choose a platform for it before May 18th"

Cowcaster posted:

i know they've been touring conferences and stuff so maybe there's a whole ton of information about bloodstained i've been missing out on. but, based on the monthly e-mail updates they send out (usually late, if at all) consisting generally of a couple pieces of concept art and if they're feeling REALLY proud maybe an animated gif of like a fat gargoyle model flapping its wings, plus the fact that the game has already been delayed once, i'm not really feeling super hyped about anything regarding bloodstained

It's been at various trade shows that they let people play there but don't update the boat demo they gave to backers to have anything else (though we're still supposed to get a alpha version on Steam early or something like that).

It still does look pretty nice, though.

idk on a whim when God of War came out I went back to that series and finished the first 3 games in a couple weeks. Tried Ascension and didn't like it within about an hour and now am blasting through the new one (skipped the PSP games in lieu of watching their cutscenes).

This was also time period where I decided to sell DB FighterZ, Monster Hunter World, and Dissidia NT because I hadn't played them since they came out and didn't really want to when I put them in to try again.

My answer to give up super hard sometimes.

fitting that the thread would talk about monster games and games you got close to beating but didn't.

I was always partial to Dragon Warrior Monsters but I also got to and never beat the Starry Night Tournament.
