Seems right on par with the previous ones so far with some fun new moves.  I'm only a few hours in though, which is still in the early game, Kraven just made himself known in the city, haven't come across anything that seemed bad.  I think there is potential for this game to not feel as fresh and exciting as the original, being that it's technically the third game, but I haven't come across anything bad or out of place yet.

I don't know...
I'm not enjoying the loooooong periods you spend just walking and listening to other characters talking to you (give me a cutscene instead!) and the bicycle riding gameplay (although sparse) is just broken.
Besides, the amount of bugs and crashes in which the game needs to restart itself I've had so far is just too high for a AAA title in my opinion.
I'm also having a lot of trouble to get the feel for the parry system and also miss the stealth gameplay options of the first game, but those two are on me.
The game is far from bad, though! Maybe my expectations were way too high...

The first Insomniac Spider-Man was my favorite PS4 game.
That said, am I the only one who isn’t enjoying Spider-Man 2?

I just scanned my game's cover and updated the entry.

Video Game Database Discussion / Kaze and the Wild Masks' cover

« on: October 17, 2023, 08:28:21 pm »

Hi everyone.
So, I just got myself a North American copy of Kaze and the Wild Masks for the PS4 and the cover is slightly different from the one on the database. On the middle of the bottom of the cover image, instead of VOX (like the one featured on the VGCollect website), it has the logo for "PixelHIVE".
Should this be considered a variant cover?

This is the best and most informative and best thread we've had since I entered this forum 7 years ago.
Thanks, oldgamerz.

Go BING!!!

I used BING once and my PS2 stopped working that same day!
I found out that BING is being controlled by the Illuminati, so I haven't used it since. This may be just a coincidence, but none of my consoles broke again ever since. I don't know... You'd better watch out. Better safe than sorry.

Done!
Make sure to add some Japanese-exclusive items to your wishlists, everyone!

I'm thinking that it may be time for me to join Secret Santa this year...
Just be aware that shipping costs may be a little... inconvenient. Haha!

Yeah... All my Xbox games are still working on my 360 as well.
Are you trying to run original games or some counterfeits/copies you downloaded for free?

Well, since you're a very important person, there's always the possibility that Microsoft (or maybe the government!!?) patched only your console...

General / Re: Would you replace a Greatest Hits/Reprint game?

« on: September 20, 2023, 11:52:30 pm »

I don't go after replacements for the (very few) Greatest Hits/The Best/Essentials I happen to have, but if I find a regular edition on a reasonable price... Sure, why not?
I'd love to own a regular copy of Akumajou Dracula X: Gekka no Yasoukyoku (Castlevania: Symphony of the Night) of which I only own the PlayStation the Best edition... They used to go for less than ¥3,000, but it's very difficult to find one for less than ¥5,000 nowadays though.

« on: September 20, 2023, 11:43:36 pm »

Yeah.
Gotta say I find that new cover to be pretty bad...
I think the cover would look great showing only the Jurrasic Park logo (which happens to be one of the most iconic in movie history) on a black background.

I own the Jurassic Park Laser Disc and it looks absolutely awesome as it is!

If that's the case... then this collection is finally worth owning. Not the collection it should be, still missing the Game Gear, Sega CD and 3DO games... but I'll take what I can.

Yeah it’s still missing the Master System/Game Gear Jurassic Park game (which happens to be my favorite), but at least, now there’s a reason for me to buy this collection! Good news indeed!!

Just saw that Limited Run released the line-up of games for their Jurassic Park: Classic Games Collection and gotta say I'm pretty disapointed...
My favorite Jurassic Park games have always been the ones on the Sega consoles (especially the one on the Master System/Game Gear), but it seems their collection only includes the Nintendo ones.
I was looking forward for this release, but it's gonna be a pass for me. Not worth paying the shipping to Japan... Haha

Site Feedback / Re: Rejected edits and site advancement

« on: August 28, 2023, 09:52:47 pm »

I wonder what should we do when the admins reject our edits based on wrong information...

For example, I recently tried to rename this entry from "Jissen Pachi-Slot Hisshouhou! Kemono-Oh" to "Jissen Pachi-Slot Hisshouhou! Juu-Oh".
https://vgcollect.com/item/155432

However, the change was rejected because GameFaqs has the game registered as follows:
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps2/565558-jissen-pachi-slot-hisshouhou-kemono-oh/data

The point is, GameFaqs is wrong as "獣王" is read "じゅうおう／ジュウオウ" (juu-ou／jyuu-ou／jū-ou／jyū-ou／juu-oh／jyuu-oh／jū-oh／jyū-oh／juu-ō／jyuu-ō／jū-ō／jyū-ō), never "けものおう／ケモノオウ" (kemono-ou／kemono-oh／kemono-ō).
This can be confirmed on the game's Wikipedia article as well:
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%8D%A3%E7%8E%8B

This happens quite often whenever I try fixing wrong Japanese titles and I'm never sure how to proceed or who to contact.
Maybe this topic has been addressed in the past, but I'd appreciate if someone could help me clarify the subject.
