Video Game Database Discussion / Re: Indie Games and Developer/Publisher Options

« on: July 05, 2024, 06:47:35 am »

I wasn't the person to reject any developer edits but it sounds like they may not of been submitted to the database. Anything not submitted to the database will show as NA when submitting edits.

To submit new Developers to the database a post should be made in this thread: https://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,5820.0.html
The request is then reviewed and added to the database so it can be selected.

Classic Video Games / Re: PriceCharting.

« on: June 24, 2024, 05:58:09 pm »

I've never really used pricecharting. A quick glance at recent sold listings is often enough for me to determine a price I'd like to pay for an item. I don't feel like I need an additional website to tell me that information. I wouldn't use price as a measure of authenticity either. A common item I'd see on eBay is counterfeit Pokemon games going for astronomical prices. In contrast I have definitely had some great purchases of legitimate items from either last minute bids or early buy it nows. In general though if I don't personally feel comfortable verifying an item myself, I wont purchase it.

Expedition 33 looked great and is definitely something that I'll give a go.
Black ops 6 being on game pass means I'll play it and probably get addicted for a month.
Perfect Dark had me intrigued.

FragPunks card system seemed extremely similar to Friends Vs. Friends.


Can't really say anything else really made me go "wow I have to play that". Sure if its on gamepass I'll probably download it anyway but eh.

Couple of recent online purchases that I expect to arrive soon

Teardown (Series X) Amazon Purchase that I've been wanting to play for a while
FC 24 and Lets Go Pikachu (Switch) - Got them for a decent price so will just trade them in to get something I want
Bioshock Collectors Edition (360) - Couldn't help myself at the price. Slowly grabbing some collectors editions while I can.
A Couple of Xbox One Games - I don't know why but I'm slowly feeling more compelled to collect promotional copies of games when I see them. 2 were in this bundle and an additional game just covered the price of the lot.

I don't feel as if I have ever really engaged with any of these websites significantly for many years at this point. It will be interesting to see what changes are made to the websites or if they will just keep to the status quo. I'd assume a significant downsizing may occur/closures in the short to mid term however.

I have recently been replaying The Talos Principle with the hope to play The Talos Principle 2 shortly after.
It's nice to be able to play a game that isn't so competitive or forced co-op every now and again. I feel like most of the time I'm gaming it's always with friends and it isn't as relaxing compared to how it used to be.

I'm really hoping The Witness goes on sale at some point on console as I also want to replay that.

Also did a little bit of Pokemon Sapphire although I didn't get too far in, just farming Rare Candies with 5 Zigzagoons haha.

The image on the back cover is of a Standard release, not a platinum.
A release that is English, Dutch(?) and Greek does seem to exist but with a different front cover.

Cool Boarders 4

This barcode appears to be Australian, presumably wrong image front being used.

Also since I've already posted, no English language Eu version of Fire Pro Wrestling Returns exists so changing existing list to ES

Quick clarification to my edit. (As it is a bit Strange)
Seemingly the FIFA 11 release is unique in the series as it does not follow the set pattern.
It appears that the First item is a cross AT and CH Release while the Second item is just AT. As such I'm having to use the item number as a descriptor.
