F.C. Manager 2006

Wii
Avatar: The Last Airbender: The Burning Earth

Xbox
Mike Tyson Heavyweight Boxing

Hm... do we accept mobile games in the database now ? Not that i mind but if we are we should create a new category for those games... and if we don't i think they should be deleted then:

https://vgcollect.com/item/130697 -> Crimson Dragon: Side Story (Windows 10 Mobile)
https://vgcollect.com/item/128331 -> Dark Tales 3: Buried Alive
https://vgcollect.com/item/128330 -> Haunted Hotel 8: Eternity
https://vgcollect.com/item/130699 -> Kinectimals (Windows 10 Mobile)
https://vgcollect.com/item/66263 -> League of Heroes
https://vgcollect.com/item/103680 -> Lifeline
https://vgcollect.com/item/144775 -> Monster Legends
https://vgcollect.com/item/144774 -> My Singing Monsters
https://vgcollect.com/item/144773 -> Pokemon GO

https://vgcollect.com/item/61283 -> Treasure Grab
https://vgcollect.com/item/98251 -> The World Ends with You: Solo Remix

And the next item can be directly deleted:
https://vgcollect.com/item/141256 -> Super Mario World... for the Super NES Classic Edition

Yes the actual back cover is probably from the Canadian release and so it isn't accurate from the rest of the data from that item (the French/English variant have a different barcode and item number: SLUS-21641F and 719593080138), so i think it should have it's own entry in the database instead.

General / Re: Do you buy games to play or put on your shelf?
« on: May 20, 2018, 05:02:27 am »
Well... both i think, i only buy games that seems interesting to me and that i want to play but, if not on my shelves, where should i put them when i'm not playing with them ?

Unrelated, but, how do I get my collection in my signature?

You have to go to "Profile" on the top then "Forum Profile" and add the link below to your signature (but without the spaces before the url at the beginning, and before the img and the url at the end of the link):

Raging Fighter (GB - EU)
https://vgcollect.com/item/46635
https://vgcollect.com/item/144435 -> dupe (and not in any collection)

Final Fantasy X (PS2 - EU)
A lot of FFX items have been created, one of them is in someone collection and the cover appear to have a PEGi rating so it's probably a variant of the 2010 re-release, since it isn't in the database i will make a few edits to it.

https://vgcollect.com/item/144444 -> this is the item who is in someone collection (and the one that i will edit)

All others items aren't in any collection so they can be deleted directly i think

General / Re: Isn't video game collecting kinda just hoarding?
« on: May 13, 2018, 09:10:24 pm »
For me the biggest difference between a hoarder and a collector is that a hoarder can't get rid of anything they "own" while a collector can get rid of what they own if they want or need to, i mean who never sold a game or a system since they started their collection. I put the own for the hoarders in quote because as my uncle, who suffered from it for almost all his life, would say: "I didn't owned anything... it's the things that owned me".

Hoarding disorder can be very grave, i don't really care if you consider that i'm a hoarder because i own 700+ PS2 games instead of 3 (or any number that you would find acceptable), you can think what you want to think about me but by doing so, by not seeing the difference between a hobby and something that ruins peoples lives, i consider that you don't really care about those who really suffers from it.

Im definitely not a horder.
That’s exactly what a hoarder would say.

Okay... that is just insulting, not for wartoy but for hoarders...  :(

Resident Evil (in the JP PS3 category)
https://vgcollect.com/item/144063

The Japanese version is of course called Biohazard and have a CERO D rating (Amazon link) but this variant seems to exist and it have the same barcode than the japanese version (link to the back cover of that item), it seems to be the Asian release (Play-Asia link) but we don't have an AS category for the PS3, in which category should that game go ?

[EDIT]

Two items were created when i added a new item but instead of asking it to be deleted i will make a few edits to transform it into another game i wanted to add so can you please accept any edit i made on that item :

General / Re: Whats the point of collecting sealed games?
« on: May 06, 2018, 04:44:54 pm »
Almost twenty years after i don't really remember, i was a kid back then, i remember tearing a plastic but don't remember if it had the tear strip (i don't remember that i had trouble tearing it so i guess it had a tear strip but to say if it had the Playstation logo on it or not...). But that was just the first case, it happened to me more than a few times, sealed games with the official tear strip bought on the day of release, last time it happened was two years ago with the Limited Edition of Dishonored 2 on PS4, the game had the right disc, no problem on this side but the rest of the box empty so i didn't had the papers with the codes to download the DLC and the digital copy of Dishonored 1... of course no problem now since i open my games directly in the shop after paying to check them (the owner know me and know how lucky i am...  ;D).

in your case it seems like a store employee screwed up and swapped the discs by mistake before resealing. I can imagine it being very rare if it was actually an original ps1 seal so your pretty lucky if that was indeed an original ps1 factory seal. Considering that you experienced it allot i might guess you were getting games at a certain store wich resealed games that's not normal stuff.

Could be for the Resident Evil 2 copy but i moved a lot in twenty years and the actual shop owner where i buy my new games is a friend i have since we were kids so i trust him (and he take care of each "lucky case" i get, and it seems to be bothering to contact his provider each time). And that is the story of why i like to buy used games instead of new & sealed games ;D (or even digital copy directly for PC).

This my seem silly but its kept me out of trouble and away from burning out.  Not everyone is like me (thank goodness) and you just have to find whats best for you...even if that's a sealed experience.

Nothing is silly in that hobby, i think there is as many way of collecting than there is people who collect, look at me for example i don't like making money with my hobby so i don't sell my dupes, i try to trade them with others collectors or i give them away sometimes (and that is, for most people, really silly right  ;) ?). I even knew a PS1 & PS2 collector who didn't care about the games, he only care about the boxes (i remember that he sorted them by item numbers, and he didn't even care if the disc was inside or not, the only thing that mattered was the spine, it needed to be perfect).

Back to topic, i think i already answered that on another thread but i don't really care about sealed games, i always buy a game with the intention of playing it and the plastic around the box prevents me to do it (well... most of the time i pass on them because the price is too high anyway), but it happens sometimes that i find one cheap (it happens a lot with PC games, they're so cheap that people buy them by lot but don't even have the time to play with them, they don't even bother to open them).

Recent games that i find sealed (X360/PS3/Wii or more recent, and DVD case for PC) i open them directly (i don't even bother checking if the game could be rare or not), for games more ancient than that i try to trade them with another collector for a CIB copy of the same game (of course without the bothering thing around it  ;)) and sadly if i can't find anyone to trade it with... well the next time i'm in the mood to play with it i will open that game without hesitation (right now i actually have one sealed game to trade but after more than a year i found no one to trade it with, it's a PAL UK/FR variant of Ace Combat Advance, but i'm not in the mood for some Ace Combat lately so the plastic is safe... for now).

Another reason that i don't collect sealed games is basically what oldgamerz said previously.

What if you keep a video game sealed for years and years. and whoever opens that game finds no game in the box or sealed case?

I have a terribly bad luck when it comes to new games, sealed boxes without disc inside or with the wrong disc... it happened to me more than a few times, so with my luck this sort of things will probably happen.

My first bad luck case:



Resident Evil 2 was one of my birthday gifts for 1999 but i was too focused on FF7 (that i got at the same time) to even bother opening it until months after... :'(

I've finally got a new Xbox (the first Xbox, not the 360 or the One), my previous one couldn't read any disc since two years ago and i found a good lot online for a Xbox + 9 games but without any controllers (well i have two so i didn't really care) for 15€ (the games are mostly dupes for me but i'm happy to find another copy of the Limited Collector's Edition of Halo 2 to replace my rusted Steelbook).

Xbox
Dead or Alive 3 (2 copy)
Fable
Halo 2 - Limited Collector's Edition
Hitman 2 - Classics
Pro Evolution Soccer 4
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell
+ a "Not For Resale" disk with the full version of Sega GT 2002 and Jet Set Radio Future.



And what i got during the week plus the loots from this morning's garage sale:

PS4
Kingdom Hearts I.5 + II.5 Remix
Kingdom Hearts II.8 (found them online for 15€ each, i will probably do the whole series again to prepare myself for KHIII)

I also bought some games on the PSN, a few old RPG from the PS2 era were at -75% off so i got Dark Cloud, Dark Chronicles and Rogue Galaxy for 3.99€ each.

DS
DQM: Dragon Quest Monster Joker
Winx Club

PSP
RockStar Game Double Pack (Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories & Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition) (the box is a little damaged on the top but it's still fine to be scanned)

PC
Age of Wonders - Take Two Heritage
Gothic II: Gold
Eden
Pac-Man World 2
Raven Squad
The Gladiators
The Last Remnant
The Lord of the Ring: The Battle for Middle-Earth II

I also added a little VideoJet PDC console, two MCDonald's toys (a togepi and a sonic LCD game), i added Halo: Nightfall and Street Fighter: Legend of Chun-Li to my video games movie collection and i found the first Star Wars movies on VHS (i have a friend who is a new Star Wars fan and he wanted to see the old unaltered versions, this box was released in 2000 so i guess it's the versions with the alterations made in 1997, it's probably not what he wanted but it's still a version he didn't see and i really like the packaging, if he don't want them i will add them to my collection ;D).

Site Feedback / Re: Option to copy a game to another region
« on: May 04, 2018, 01:55:45 pm »
What do you mean by different region ? Like taking the data of an US item to create the same as an EU item or taking an European item to create another European item ? ...Well in any case most of the data of that item would be wrong, except maybe for the name (most of the time) and the developer, everything else can change, even between different European country the games can have a lot of difference (like the release date or the publisher) and i don't even talk about the different covers and ratings (there are so many different rating... i've just discover a very old version of the SELL rating to add to the list  ::)).
