PS2 definitely jumped during COVID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever someone mentioned completing their "set" it was always the licensed games. There were always threads people made announcing they have completed the set, and everyone giving their congrats or talking about what their last game was, etc. There wasn't a litany of people popping into those threads to protest the definition of a set. Sure I remember a handful of people debating it, but general consensus doesn't mean every single person agreed, just MOST did. It certainly seemed like MOST people were fairly agreed upon it, at least back then. Even barring that debate, it makes sense to seperate games into some kind of categories. People need milestones to strive for. I never understood why the few people I saw argue about the definitions of a set cared so much. Both definitions are correct. It’s just a problem of clarifying who is licensing the game. When NES was active Nintendo was granting publishers licenses as permission to make games for their proprietary hardware platform. Licensed “for use on the platform.” Today the IP holders are giving publishers licenses as permission for the use of their creative intellectual property. Licensed “to use Intellectual property” They are both valid licenses, but your talking apples to oranges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefaultGen | 5,414 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Do LRG-distributed games like Gris or Metal Storm count for the LRG set even though they’re not numbered! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do not count as "official" LRG games. In these cases LRG just helps distribute the games. I think it's the same thing for the PS5 Hitman game.

Just to follow on from Avatar’s post. This is what LRG puts on the non numbered listing: “This release is not a part of the Limited Run Games Collection and is not a numbered release. We are distributing this title on behalf of 3D Realms. Missing out on this release will not compromise a complete Limited Run set.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDIRunner | 2,744 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I just got notification that my rewards items should be on their way. I mentioned this a while back, but if you still have any coupons from the old reward system, the expire in November, so if you plan to turn them in, do it now.

That's the problem, people try and assign a limited definition to a broad term. A full set is literally an entire set of everything that ever existed, there is no way anyone could ever possibly collect that .However, people try and assign some smaller subset to have this definition which is just weird and false. Since everyone assigns a different definition to "full set," there's no way to agree if a game should belong because you all have different definitions. All you can really do is look at the literal words of "full set" and look at what the actual words themselves mean. "Full" and "Set" put together is literally everything from the history of time. If you ever want to stop arguing about this, then stop being lazy and using the proper terms. Full Set = everything Full Nintendo set = every game ever released from Nintendo as a company Full Nintendo NES set = every game released by Nintendo specifically for the NES Full NES set = all NES games released by every manufacturer with no time limit. If it exists, it's included, don't try and cry your way out of literal definitions. Full Nintendo NES Licensed Retail Set = all Nintendo released games specifically for the NES, released at retail. This is the set I am going for, as this doesn't include the 1 of 1 Nintendo Campus Challenge which is technically part of the licensed set because it is a licensed Nintendo NES game. So unless you specify which sub-set you're going for, you'll never know if a certain game belongs. If you want to be more specific about your particular collecting goal, then be more specific when you refer to it. And when you talk about licensed games, software contains multiple different licenses from various copyrights. The company iam8bit obtains a legal license from Capcom for their releases but not from Nintendo, so these are technically licensed but not Nintendo licensed. Wow someone actually bit and said the comic I drew when I was 12 is truly required for a full X-Men set. Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very quickly I estimated they released around 500 games - but they released a bunch of variants (limited/collector editions) too. So I would say double that, 1000 games is a reasonable rough estimate. Let's say about $40 each, so about $40,000. Again, very rough estimate, but seems reasonable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Californication | 1,477 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) I've been pretty good about not ordering to many limited print games lately. My only outstanding orders are for PS4 are: Master Blaster Zero & 2, Ikaruga, Darius Cozmic Arcade Collection, Guns Gore and Canolli 1 & 2 Collectors and MetaGal (which I'm going to try and cancel). (I didn't even order the Turrican's, Aleste Collection, My Friend Pedro, or Mother Russia Bleeds although they all look respectable.) That being said I think I am going to have to put in a big order of Doom 64, Ion Fury, and Mummy Demastered from LRG. Then Bubble Bobble 4 from Strictly Limited. They really know how to take my money Edited October 22, 2020 by Californication 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
