Modern Video Games / E3 Thread!

Not gonna hit on everything here, so lets just post what interests you as it all comes out.

I will commend Xbox this year for a purely game driven show.  They said it was games and it was.  No pushing kinect or tv, no sports, just gaming.  Overall, alot of multi-system stuff, but the exclusives that stood out was Sunset Overdrive which looks like Jet Set Radio had a baby with Dead Rising.  Crackdown 3 I'm interested for the potential as the first game was a lot of fun, 2 was balls, so hopefully they handle it better, especially since they have to be better than Saints Row 4 which was like a spiritual successor practically lol And then Scalebound by Platinum games could be interesting, will depend on actual gameplay, but the trailer makes it to be your some modern guy with headphones that fights with sword and magic, utilizing dragons to fight increasingly larger giant monsters.  So How To Train Your Dragon, but badass I guess lol

That's just the start so far.  EA up next.  Hoping for Battlefront footage with this one.

Bah, I caved, I pre-ordered Battlefield Hardline.  I wasn't going to after the BF3 and BF4 launch issues, but I'm giving this one the benefit of the doubt right now.  It's a different developer with Visceral doing it, it's an offshoot game instead of a main release so it won't require any overhauled graphics or network changes so it should run fine especially after all the work DICE has put into fixing the games, and it's been in the works for the past two years.  Not too mention I feel like it'll be a game that's more scaled gear and weapon wise, so hopefully less explosive nonsense this time which is an issue in Battlefield 4.  I'm just so impatient and such a big fan of the series, I couldn't help myself...Oh well, I know I'm going to enjoy the game.

Pre-orders from Gamestop right now give a little metal police badge money clip.

Edge of Tomorrow wasn't that bad.  I wasn't sure if it was gonna be good or not, but it's a pretty solid scifi action flick.

And got bored and wandered over to Gamestop, ending up grabbing that Prince of Persia game on PS3 used which I think is essentially like a reboot for the series that didn't go anywhere? Anyways, it was only 2 bucks, so why not.  Also grabbed Metal Gear Solid 4 used just to have since it was pretty cheap also.  Was gonna grab some more to have, but decided against it for now.

Always nice finding some older games, even though it wasn't much I'm going to keep for my collection.  I did get another copy of Jungle Strike, but the cool thing about this one was that it still had the Mutant League Football poster inside which was awesome.  The other two are just bleh sports titles.

Up top there's another copy of Mechassault I now have for the Xbox, but this one came in just a no resale sleeve, so not sure where it came from originally.  The there is something called Xbox Live Arcade, but it apparently has Ms. Pac Man on the disk so I can play that on the original Xbox lol

And then in the corner, I grabbed it for the heck of it, never played it before, but it's Lands of Lore Guardians of Destiny on PC.  Never heard of it before, it's some Westwood game that kinda went along with the same release of Blade Runner I posted before according to the back.

The poster was definitely the highlight for today since I didn't get to the flea market.  Gotta stop staying up so late on Friday lol

Today didn't turn out to bad.  My favorite thrift shop came through again.

I got a complete Sega Genesis Model 1 with two controllers and the cords of course along with a copy of a game called Shining Force.  It mostly works, I got it to work on one game, but I realized that I probably need to clean the system and Genesis carts I have, but I should now have a functioning Genesis since for abit now I've only had a model 2 that is missing the cords.

As for games I got a couple PC titles like Battlefield 2 Special Edition which comes with Special Forces.  A huge fan of the series and I want to collect them all, including some alternate versions.  With that I got Blade Runner, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Call of Duty 1, and Deus Ex 1.  On console I got Crash Bandicoot 2 and Crash Bandicoot Warped though I only needed Warped for my collection.

*EDIT*
System sorta seems to work, the quality is rather crappy, of which I'm guessing the RF out might not be very good, perhaps better with an AV out instead? I just need to get another one.  also very questionable controllers, but I got games to run.

Urggh...Been going to this one Thrift Shop for awhile now pretty regularly as I do seem to find something there of some sort at least once week, but I feel I haven't come across the resellers other than maybe one guy who might've just been another collector like me which is totally fine.  Today though after I grabbed a few PS1 games and PC games from the CD section, I made my lap and came back to grab some more PC titles for the heck of it and there she was.  She had her little tablet phone thing sitting on the shelf or whatever it is that is wireless connected to her tiny little hand scanner, scanning through every CD.  I don't know if she was getting games or just CD's, but I knew what she was there for.  That's always annoying to see :\ I'm use to seeing that at the Flea Market where there are usually two or three of the common resellers there, but this was the first I've ever seen on at the thrift shop.  Just means less chance of finding good music if she was CD only which sucks.

Not a ton of stuff today, but I was happy to get it.

The Mad Catz PS1 wheel setup isn't something I normally buy, I've kinda seen these around off and on, but usually I find them missing the pedals, always no box, and usually looking nasty.  While this one was out of the packaging in the box, it still smelled like new plastic, I don't know if it was ever used or not and for only 6 bucks, whether I keep it or not is still a nice deal.  Just need to find a racing game I like on the PS1 now...

The 360 Xplorer Controller is just a backup to have and for only 2 bucks, it's in great condition.  No stickers anywhere on it which makes me thinking it wasn't some young kid that had it, so hopefully it works well.

As for games, I bought Resistance 2 since I decided to get the whole series and give it another try.  Super cheap at Gamestop, only 3 bucks used.  Then I got Star Wars Rogue Leader on Gamecube, though I kinda hate that it looks like the cover is really wrinkly, making me think it got wet or something at some point, is there a simple way to sort that out at all? And then what wasn't a game, but an anime movie, Zone of the Enders: Idolo.  I know nothing about ZOE or this movie, but I'm totally there for some mech battles of some sort so hopefully its good lol

This one is completely unconfirmed, but there could be a new Mario game on either the 3DS or Wii U that allows you to create your 2D Mario game, essentially Mario mixed with Little Big Planet I would guess, basically taking Mario hacks mainstream I would put it lol

lol, the dude is selling his collection just after getting the record???
I just read about this guy a few months ago???
If he sells it all then he should be stripped of his title.
So does this mean the person who buys this gets the record?
That's BS in my opinion. Kinda makes me loose respect for the guy.
Just feel like the guy is selling out. Maybe he has an outrageous reserve on it just to see what his collection would go for.  The only person I can see buying this is some rich guy who just wants to build a game room or a reseller who wants to start a store.

Kinda makes me want to beat his record, just for doing this. only 2000 more to go. lol
Wonder if the 11,000 is only games, or does it include systems & accessories.

Also I once saw a show where they appraise people collections and there was a guy on there with close to 15,000 games. why doesn't this guy hold the record? Maybe he too sold it all off. lol

Of course he's "selling out", he's literally "selling out" lol If you read it, he says he needs the money for other life stuff, totally good reason  to sell your collection.  I know if I was a rich guy, I'd buy that collection in a heartbeat lol

Most old games that are boxed for like 75 to 100 bucks are usually too pricey for me on one game.  There's a few of those on N64 I want, but that's too high for me to push for.  I only even push up towards those numbers when it's something super serious for my collection like finishing up my Zelda collection...except for Zelda 2.  50 bucks for that game? UGGGHHHh...but I need it! lol

I'm lucky I got both Mega Man Legends games cheap awhile back.  MML2 was even unopened at one point till I wanted to play it lol

Got Resistance yesterday for PS3 from Goodwill.  Not a huge fan of the series, they were always abit underwhelming, being a kind generic shooter alongside Killzone which was a generic shooter, but I loved the concept of it.
