They just had to go and pop up a Valis Collection II in english, no one has the rights otherwise even overseas like the last. CRAP. For perspective, Feb 3rd was my pay date on Collection #1, oh and you know what, awhile back they removed a quarter to ship it, and still have NO RELEASE DATE. 7 damn months, then this... Get it in 2024 I guess? I was underwhelmed with their Collector's Edition for Valis II. NO artbook. NO CD soundtrack. I consider the two collectibles above staples for collector's editions. Well, on the other hand I saved a bunch of money by just ordering the regular edition 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the ONLY extras I'm ever interested in. Anything beyond that is extra crap I don't want to store. I've been buying from LRG from the beginning, but I haven't bought a single LE or CE from them. The closest I ever came was with Dark Forces, but it was just too much stuff I didn't want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,934 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 (edited) I'm really not surprised by them anymore @avatar! they keep getting more and more sloppy and lazy, not just with shipping things out, but what they ship in their packages. Did you notice they're now asking $45 vs $40 for such a package **AND** charging another $6 ($45 vs 51) for their trading card? It's not even thrown in anymore, it's an pay for extra. If they're that hard up for cash they can't throw a card in anymore it makes you worry if they're going to last or not. I may still risk the money for the card (didn't pull trigger yet, have the page up though) but it's kind of ominous and curious to say the least.

PapaStu | 47 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 (edited) @TanookiA free base card with a gold card opportunity still exists for all games they are publishing (not the distribution line games, none of which get cards.) They go and do other cards in addition to for some sets and sell them in the bundles. They've done it for Shantae (character sets), Turok (buncha dinos) and a few others the last few years. Those really only matter if you're chasing their trading cards too. Edited September 17, 2022 by PapaStu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. Preferably the Switch. Heck, I might even consider paying for a DLC remastered copy if that’s all there was and I hate DLC-only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 4,934 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Still no date eh? I avoided them fearing as much. So many other choices out there were in english and with easily as nice if not better extras outside of the $100+ choice they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would actually love to get these. I like the box art, and the 10 games will look good all together, but I'm not paying $100 per game for this set. If it was under $50, I would probably be getting them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 4,934 Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 @Tabonga I'm still stewing at the unmitigated gall on their part to take my money back at the start of Febuary, promise a quarter, to then quietly erase that number and then demand(ask) money for the other half of the series of titles in Vol 2 now, still not having shipped out or addressed a date for the first. I'm mad, but trapped. There's no other english release to own, just a digital rental, so I'll have to give them money or just forget about it which stings because if Vol1 is any indication I'd see it sometime in 2024. Lethargically Released Games sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabonga | 2,322 Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 @Tanooki - They are by no means my favorite place to get stuff - I like the Iam8bit and Super Rare Games model where they actually have the stuff on hand when they offer it up much better. But Limited Run does deliver eventually (and they are better than Strictly Limited (among others) in that regard) - so they are not a scam per se - just very lackadaisical in their practices. And when I order from them I know that this is a problem when I get into the process. Sucks but life is often like that................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 4,934 Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 @Tabonga Well yeah SLG are just disgusting, it's a shell company cash grab considering a larger parent co-runs that and ININ you see through Amazon and you get the same game either way, but with ININ you actually get it without a month to years(if ever) wait before the cheapo bar hits 100%. I Am 8bit and Super Rare I didn't know they had their model of on hand, then we sell, that's how stuff should be. Even if it means doing more reprints, basically the small run run re-run style Atlus does to not take the hit, that's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good example but... can you still buy games like Chrono Cross and Final Fantasy IX (I think) from Square Enix directly? I swear they weren't selling just a massive back stock of those, but would slowly make print runs because people would keep buying them direct. I know they were available at least a couple of years ago. Yup, the PS1 had a lifespan of at least 25 years by them alone.

Although I haven't seen Square Enix selling those PS1 games since around COVID, they certainly continued to sell new PS1 games pretty regularly up until that point. As you mentioned, they were new print runs, not leftover new stock. You can tell the difference since the new print runs have a unique SLUS number and the back of the disc is not black. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRG sets since the fairly earlier days a hard date and you buy or you do not, that's it (until recent with some overstocks for their own online/brick n mortar sales.) SLG they open a preorder, put up a meter 0-100%, and what they don't explicitly tell you is that until the 100% hits they won't proceed or cancel the run, but they will take your money and let the clock tick. If a game takes a year or never hits 100% they just keep your money unless you contact them and do a process to get a refund. They don't ever contact you once you pay, ever, no updates, no warnings, no question if you're still interested like they hope to just pocket the money and you forget.

Tabonga | 2,322 Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 I just got a notification that another game is being shipped - I hope they are stepping up their game and getting stuff out as a priority of some sort. Another couple of games and I will be under 10 I am waiting for from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
