Off Topic / Re: What are your thoughts on digital collections?

« on: December 01, 2018, 07:11:00 pm »

I don't have problems in "owning" music and movies that don't depend on licenses to be listened to or wathced. Even if techonlogy changes, as soon as you have a device that is compatible with the format in which your files are saved, you will always have access to your stuff.
(Unless they are saved on the cloud.)

In the case of video games, if the person just wants to play them and doesn't care about losing the license to something they bought, I think you could call this a "perecible collection" or something like that.
As for me, I don't consider "owning" anything digitally as part of my collection. The last time I downloaded any game was probably about 4 or 5 years ago, but soon after that, I promissed myself to NEVER by digital games again. I've lost a lot of games I bought with hard owned money after system updates or simply because the company, for one reason or other, decided that I couldn't play the game anymore...

General / Re: Where do you get your games?

I buy most of my stuff at shops like Book Off and (mostly) Hard Off.
Apart from that, I love to just go out driving and finding new thrift shops (or "recycle shops", as they are called around here) I didn't know existed. Last Wednesday, for example, I was able to score Sexy Parodius for the Saturn for ¥100 at a shop I had never noticed before.

Apart from that, once in a while I also find some good deals at the Fammys, Otakara Souko, A-2 and Takarajima stores.
And when I REALLY want something and cannot find it for cheap anywhere else, I can (almost) always turn to Yahoo! Auctions.

My dream arcade cabinet would easily be a 6 players X-Men machine.
It is amazing!

Modern Video Games / Re: Are you satisfied with the modern direction of the Final Fantasy series?

« on: September 30, 2018, 04:03:15 am »

I have a huge problem in accepting Final Fantasy XV’s esthetics and premisse... in a time like this, when subjects such as gender equality and ethinic representativity have finally started to be addressed in video games, having a entrance in this series in which all the four main characters are white males driving an Audi in the wilderness seems to me as something outdated and out of place in the contemporary world.
I’m not saying that the game is bad though... I didn’t even try it... and the main reason why I didn’t play it is, because of what all that I’ve said above, it was unable to appeal to me...

General / Re: Do old games reallllllllly hold up?

« on: September 22, 2018, 11:53:21 am »

Well... thinking rationally about this subject, I believe that many of the games that I used to praise in the 90’s are almost unplayable now. A couple of days ago I inserted Slime World into my Mega Drive for the first time in 20 years or so and... WOW! It was absolutely awful!!
