avatar! | 1,811 Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 I think people often say "rare" and mean "difficult to find". In essence, it means the same thing. For instance, if a new Zelda game had only 50,000 copies made, I think everyone would call it "exceedingly rare" because it would be difficult to find and due to the scarcity very expensive. On the other hand, an indie game with 20,000 copies might be very easy to find. It depends on how popular and coveted the title is. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PineappleLawnchair | 88 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) 15 minutes in and i already got offers of 60, this is gonna be good.

MiamiSlice | 3,095 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Fascinating. I remember it took a while to get the ESRB rating, an M rating is not something you see every day. I think that's why the release has been delayed. No idea how a copy ended up in a blind box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avatar! | 1,811 Posted March 6, 2020 Author Share Posted March 6, 2020 That's really cool, I hope they release a limited edition. I feel a game like this could include so much information on the subject matter... oh, and Tthere was also a Papers Please movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everything sells out quickly or immediately, but for the popular stuff, if you waste time entering passwords or payment info, you will almost always miss out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, I will remember that for the future. The games looked interesting to me as I played Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced on my GBA growing up and seemed similar. Maybe I will get them digitally if I feel like playing it in the future, I just prefer physical if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domasaurus | 4 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) On 2/24/2020 at 12:01 AM, avatar! said: Secret of Monkey Island is amazing! If LRG was releasing the remastered (or whatever you want to call it version) on the PS4/Switch, I would be all over it! As it stands... it's cool, but I won't be purchasing it. Same for Rebel Assault. I would like to add, that Monkey Island was released on physical disc in Europe, including the UK, for the Xbox 360. In this instance, it IS playable on NTSC consoles! So, if you still have a 360 and have never played Monkey Island, do yourself a favor and purchase the physical version which is fully orchestrated, narrated, and it also includes the remastered version of LeChuck’s Revenge - oh, and in both games you can seamlessly switch from "classic" graphics to the updated versions and the same for music! Currently, the only game I am interested in from LRG is Myst which I think will be lovely. ugh.... I had no idea this was released as a physical copy. I always regret buying limited run games every time; this will be no exception. I'm going to sell my copy I bought and get this version... Thanks for the heads up.

Every time I buy LRG stuff it goes on the shelf only for me to sell it later. The limited aspects has gotten me to jump at stuff I shouldn't have for sure.

Ausden | 323 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I used to buy for two reasons. 1, buy what looks good to me 2, buy what I think could go up in value. this has let to some not so great purchases and I find myself shelling quit a bit of what I purchase. From now on it has to jump out at me for me to pull the trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But so cool. Anyone going to splurge on this? I LOVED this game back when it was new and spent hours playing it as a "sim game" just to build bases more than playing the actual game. With that said, this set is more or less the exact opposite of what I want. I'm only interested in the game itself, and none of the items that they are throwing in, so it's an easy pass for me. Also, I'm torn because I sort of want a console version of this, but then I have to remember that this game doesn't play very well on a console. It's a really good example of a game that just plays better on PC. Edit: I would love to get just the art book if I could. I love art books.

I love art books. 100+ pages! it better be a hardcover... I rather hate softcover books! For me, the biggest draw is the fabulous soundtrack, but I'm a big video game music guy. The original C&C and Red Alert was also released on the PS1! My favorite though, was easily Red Alert 2. This "remastered" edition includes the first C&C and Red Alert, which are easily the least interesting of all C&C games. Also, I hate giving EA any of my money. So may end up being a pass. Although that soundtrack... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to tell from the picture, but it sort of looks like a hardbound book. Unfortunately, it looks like it's a rectangular shape. I don't like non-standard sized books because they often don't line up well on a bookshelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of artbooks are actually elongated because that is often the best way to show large/long art So I don't mind it, besides diversity is good!
