I love seeing them all together on the shelf as a collection. Some games I love, some games I hate, and some games I am indifferent to because I'll probably never sell them.
-
Lord no.
I own Deadly Towers
-
Haha. No.

I'm not sure.
Every game in my collection is there because after finding out about the game, researching it, or watching gameplay footage it seemed like I might enjoy it. I only buy games I have the intention of playing, and after playing them if I didn't at least mostly enjoy the game I choose to sell it eventually. I don't have to be in "Love" with every game I own, but I at least have to like them for the most part.
The other thing is there are games in my collection I like for other reasons than how good they are as a game. For example, Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout is one of the worst fighting games I've ever played, however it is a heavily nostalgic game for me since I yearned to own it when I was huge into DBZ in the late 90s and early 2000s. I owned an import copy of it back then, but I always wanted the original US Bandai release. Years ago I finally made this dream come true and despite the game being a total stinker, I love the game for what it means to me personally. There are probably a dozen or so other examples of this also in my collection.

I love having them, even if it means not playing them every day, gazing at the games reminds me that I'm blessed to have them, if some say they don't love having a game. In my opinion why are you holding onto it?
I don't buy complete console sets, I don't have any child educational games, like that Elmo game for the Nintendo 64, I have a few child like rare games. I think? because I got them from my sister when she didn't want the games anymore. her lot was vary mixed with stuff like Demon Souls 1 and 2 and a few PS2 games she never played.
I don't have "Elmo's Number Journey" or "Elmo's Letter Journey" and I do collect for the Nintendo 64

Hell no.
I own AD&D Heroes of the Lance for NES.
No, I didn’t buy that POS, it was a birthday gift.

At least you got a video game for your birthday ::)
It might be just another frustrating NES 2D platformer but it was free right?

I don't know how it is with you guys but if I get free stuff wich I don't like I either sell it, give it away or throw it into the trash can plain and simple. no reason to keep stuff around that i don't enjoy.

Hell no I own Portal Runner for ps2.

I have, at the very least, play-tested every game I own and have thoroughly researched them before considering buying them, so I would say yes for 99% of them. The other 1% I got in lots and aren't of interest to me, so I've set them aside to eventually sell them. But overall, though, yes, I love the games in my collection.

Ain't that the truth. Seems fairly obvious, don't it?

true but i was just commentating that even if it's free you don't need to keep it around unless you enjoy it or at the very least want to keep it on your shelf for display purposes full sets you name it not just for the sake because it was dirt cheap or for free that's not a great reason to keep stuff around.

No, I own Sonic 06' sealed and only because it was a gift.

Mine was also a gift- but opened and a 'get-this-thing-out-of-my-house' gift.
As for why I KEEP it:
- more eco-friendly by not putting it in a landfill
- socially conscious by not dumping it on a thrift shop
- excellent choice for Crappy Game Night
- teaching tool in not blindly following a franchise
- great choice for console testing (no loss if damaged)

I have Superman 64. That should answer your question

I know right :)
The friend who got it for me was just trying to give me something I liked; he could not have known the horrors that dwelled within. I appreciate the gift.

Throwing it away seems like a horrible waste. I don’t care how bad a game is, I’d rather keep it than trash it.
Anyway, it looks good among the other NES games, and it contributes to my overall collection number ;D
-
Nope. And for a lot of things in my collection, if I could get a reasonable amount I'd dump a lot of it.
-
I don't know if I would say "love" but at least 95% of my collection (that I've had a chance to play anyway) I at least "like".
-

And yet you still haven't framed it... Guess that will be your next birthday gift...
-
Of course not!
C'mon! If I did love everygame I own, I wouldn't have anything made by Nintendo... Haha
-
Love them all as if they were my own children. When they disappoint me, I disown them.
Actually, no not every game is a 10/10 obviously. But I'll accept anything that's at least a 5/10. I've been known to enjoy "bad" games.
-
I have a rule when it comes to buying video games I only buy what I want. I even love atari 2600 game ports and people like @Seether and others think that Atari games a trash
all video games have a learning curve. and once you're in the groove you can like just about any game look at the angry video game nerd, and others on YouTube. Vary few games seem impossible to maneuver. But sometimes a person on YouTube might hack a game and say they beat it but.
-
I'm very easily entertained by the majority of games I've played. I think for me a game's premise is paramount, if that much intrigues me, then it usually outweighs any of the cons found within the game's execution. I'm able to reconcile the objective reality with my personal experience. A game can have bad production values, and still be fun. I'm not going to say that it's a 10/10 game, but on some level it can still be worth owning and playing through.
-
I even have a couple games in my collection that I don't necessarily like per se, but I think they're important games that everyone should play because of the interesting things they do design wise.
Breath of Fire Dragon Quarter is one game that comes to mind for me.
-
Love that game!
-
Hell yeah, what's the purpose of purchasing something if you don't like it ? You know the phrase that money doesn't grow on trees ? In my particular case I even have to sell old games to get new ones so am not wasting my money for something that am not going to use/love or do you go to a restaurant, order some food, pay for it but tou don't eat it ?, about the games that I got for free, well that's another story, I don't love them but also I don't hate them.

don't forget to add a certificate of authenticity to make it extra special ::)
