I ordered Castlevania: Requiem from them back in February. Just the game itself and it's still in production. What irks me is not so much that it hasnt shipped yet but the fact that it hasn't shipped yet and through Best Buy, they have a listing to pre-order the game like what. They have too much going on and they can't seem to keep up

I mostly have used this site to track my collection which is what it was intended for, and I do check the forums once in a while. Thing is that I rarely for as along i have been a part of this site never start a topic but mostly reply which is fine. I dont post because more often than not I dont think I have any to contribute to nor do I have a response for something.

Can someone please explain to me why the PS4 TMNT Mutants in Manhattan is so dang high? I already have it, but it has gotten up close to $100.
Does anyone have any idea why?

Maybe there's a sudden demand for it and even more so when this game is only available on disc since it was delisted on all store fronts.

Why is it that I've heard people often say that there was no Star Fox game on the GameCube, when there were two and surely Assault counts as a main line entry (although nobody ever mentions that one). I've heard this comment a number of times, maybe they're thinking of the Wii? Wii didn't have Star Fox, but GameCube definitely did. Perhaps Assault is so forgotten that some aren't aware of it's existence?

Star Fox Adventure technically doesn't count by a lot of people if only because of what the game was supposed to be originally in Dinosaur Planet. Rather than let it be, they changed it to give a Star Fox flair if you will without being a Star Fox games. I would imagine that Assault was for the most part ignored due to the sour taste Adventure left. The fact that Wii never got a Star Fox game was weird though. Motion controls to pilot would I think would have worked well.

General / Re: Video Game New Years Resolutions 2022

« on: December 27, 2021, 01:12:33 am »

1. Play more games (Not that I haven't but just general goal thanks to the 52 game challenge)
2. Obtain games I have on my wishlist which leads to my next point...
3. Buy less on impulse (I was doing well until the holidays came but even then much better than years past)

So apparently 1 and 3 are goals I wrote for last year as resolutions so I guess these will become ongoing deals. That and

4. Less clutter: I also listed this in 2020 however I dont feel I did much of a good job. It's not that I obtained more things but rather I didnt get rid as much as I thought I would if not mostly because even though I did some cleaning, its kind of stagnated and then just stopped once I found employment. That said I feel like if I make effort year round to one by one find things to throw away or something then I should be good but who knows.

Edit: Last one I promise

5. This can be tied to my first point of play more games. For this one I would like to play through some of my sealed games. I noticed that there are few mostly on ps4 that have yet to be touched let alone actually opened since purchasing. I never intended on keeping them sealed, its just I never got around to doing so.

General / Re: What percentage are you a collector vs a gamer?

« on: December 27, 2021, 01:09:03 am »

Currently I would say im 90% gamer and 10% collector which wasnt the case in years prior. I feel like this year prior to the recent holiday splurge I did that I didnt buy as much as I did in the last year as I did play more games than I have in some years which is nice. Ultimately, the collecting bug I have specifically for retro games is not there anymore and I am okay with that.

Final Fantasy VII Remake: I've been at this since I started in July. Reason its been taking me this long is because there have been periods where I play for certain amount and then stop until I play it again usually weeks later or even a month while playing other games in between. As it stands it is the only game Im focusing on if I dont count Animal Crossing and I want to finish it before the end of the month. Also since I have been trying really hard to not start games in the middle of others, this is giving me good practice.

Finished Castlevania: Circle of the Moon again, via the Castlevania Advance Collection on XBox Series X (first time playing it that way). 91.5% map completion. It's not Symphony of the Night, but it's still a very enjoyable Metroidvania.

Now onto Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance via the collection.

Speaking of Symphony of the Night, why the hell didn't we get that on the collection? Granted it's not a GBA game, but it is a Metroidvania, and the origin of those GBA games. And it wasn't on the first Castlevania Collection.

Supposedly because the version of Symphony that is already optimized for modern systems is from some kind of Vita or PSP port Sony has dibs on it, and we all know that Konami isn't really willing to put in any extra effort.

Wasn't it the versions from Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles on PSP?

Yes. Essentially the Requiem collection that has both for the PS4 is Dracula X Chronicles minus the Rondo of Blood remake

Thanks I really appreciate it, yesterday the whole family was reunited to say farewell to our Grandma, I got a big family not only here in Mexico as well in USA and it was so beautiful to see almost of all them here, without a doubt she was a beloved Grandma with tons of grandsons/granddaughters as well great grandsons/great granddaughters to be honest I didn't knew it until yesterday that she even had some great-great grandsons, it really was nice moment because we already knew that she was living extra time and we are grateful with God for that.

Our parents are no longer younger so in my dad's case I was the one who carried the coffin instead of him, my cousins took the places of their fathers as well, cried all the ceremony thankfully my wife was with me all the time, realized this past year one the worst things of growing up is that you know that at some point of your life you have to say goodbye to your family/friends, I can only say she is now in a better place without any pain, she didn't suffer before passing away, would love to leave this world the way she did it.

This is a realization that has really brought my attention over the past year as well. Not only the thought we will say goodbye to our loved ones but also that we individually will cease to exist. While its not something I think of all the time, it does pop up from time to time and it scares me. That said, all we can do is live our lives now and hope that we are able to stay here for as long as humanly possible. May your grandmother rest in peace my friend.

A couple of minutes ago received a message from my sister who told me that my grandma passed away today, totally hate this damn pandemic, we used to see more often but because of these situation haven't seen her in months, as a matter of fact the last time we talk was this past January 6 when it was her 94th birthday and now am going to see her again just to say until next time we see again, last year was the death of my latest grandpa and my beloved pet/girl and one year before the death of one of my uncles.

I do believe in heaven and from the bottom of my heart I know am gonna see all my beloved ones in a near future cause am not going to live forever, might be or pretend to be a person without emotions but can't avoid to cry while am writing this.

My condolences for your loss. We are here for you if anything.

Classic Video Games / Re: Your Opinions Of The Metal Of Honor Series Games

« on: July 31, 2021, 02:49:36 pm »

I've played Frontline, MOH 2010 and Warfighter. Frontline was pretty good at the time that I played it so I can't say how it holds up today. I have the HD version on PS3 which I hope to get to some day. MOH 2010 was eh for me. Felt pretty generic as they were really trying to capture that COD Modern Warfare crowd since this was the first time MOH went into that direction away from the WW2 setting. Warfighter was really forgettable, thats all I have to say cuz other than remembering it exists, I dont remember much about the game.

General / Re: The itch to collect never ends!

« on: July 25, 2021, 07:13:08 pm »

I would say going back as far as 2019 is when my collecting started to stagnate a bit. I've always been someone who's intent is to play the games I buy but I did lose track of that a few years prior and started getting whatever and left me with a good amount of clutter that left me feeling with a feeling of what am I doing with life? So I decided to take a huge chunk of what I had and trade it in to my local game store and free myself a bit and it was liberating. That was only the first step as I have more stuff to offload but as it stands, I feel much better. These days I dont have the temptation I used to have and am focused on playing what I have. Of course I do still buy games but with more focus on stuff I want like any new releases and older stuff that I have saved on my wishlist which I started to utilize to give me focus on what I truly want which is nice.
