All My Game Pickups for 2024 (So Far)

[@djkibblesnbits]

After buying so many games over the previous three years, I've drastically cut back on my game spending in 2024 by using a new rule-I only allow myself to buy a game when I've rolled credits on four of my backlogged titles. It's been months since I've bought a new game; right now I'm making my way through the Sky trilogy in the Trails series-hot damn, these games can be long!

[@miguelmendoza3403]

I had to implement the same rule too 😅

[@MichaelH-1]

Dr. Emily, her games, and her spreadsheets :) It's great to see you again. I like that cube looking Prinny you have. It looks like one of those Japanese watermelons.

[@orbalology]

The Prinny came in the Disgaea 1 Complete CE - it's a really nice plush!

[@salt88]

You have a really relaxing and kind voice, this was unintentional ASMR for me. Hopefully that's not too weird lol. Thanks for showing your awesome collections!

[@TheKennyboy92]

So cool seeing how much love and care developers put into those collector editions you got.

[@cbgg1585]

Waste of time and money imo. All I care about is the disc/cartridge and if I can play and beat physical games in 20 years then that’s what matters. You really think in 20 years people would care about the extra pins and artbook if they can play the physical game on the intended hardware?

[@wilmer7826]

Happy to see you back! Hope you've been well!

[@lemonpulpmusic]

Sold off large chunks in my collection around 2019. Had so many games that I couldn't appreciate my personal favorites. Even if I had many of them prominently displayed, everything just felt buried by the weight of my collection. I kept about 90 games from multiple consoles. For some reason this year, I've been going back and re buying games I sold. Especially 3ds. Your videos are super refreshing and have been reigning those unhealthy impulses back. Thank you 🙏

[@chriswells7322]

I absolutely love your collection! I've been a huge gamer my whole life and have a pretty massive collection myself going all the way back to the Nes even though I've sadly had to start over from scratch several times as living in Reno Nevada for many years 5 entire game collections were stolen from me.

[@MATTierial]

Glad to hear you pre-ordered Tsukihime as well! I just got mine and it both looks and sounds incredible on the OLED switch. I haven't spoiled it for myself, so I'm really excited for this to be my first experience with the story 😊

[@youtubeviewer8063]

Recently I have stopped collecting physical not for budget reasons but just not enough time to play everything I own. I am now living through yt videos like yours. It's cool to at least see these editions and the differences between platforms.

[@aaronpischke5019]

Always love your videos and scientific approach to game collecting, Emily! I think I've bought 6 games so far this year because my back log is so big and menacing I'm a little worried it might come to life and crush me in my sleep! 😅 Regardless, here's to many more happy hours spent gaming! Take care!

[@TheLegendOfRetro]

Baten Kaitos Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean is my favorite game of all time, seeing people pick up the HD Remaster double pack warms my heart. The fact that there is new merch and even a recent Steam release is absolutely unreal to me.

[@orbalology]

I'm so glad that it's now accessible for more to experience it too! Missed out on it as I never had a Game Cube back in the day.

[@90shandheldgamer]

Glad to see you back with a new video! :)

[@jkenbaltazar]

The out of focus hurts my eyes but happy you have a new video Emily!

[@orbalology]

Yeah I had some technical difficulties with my setup but hopefully will be fixed the next time.

[@jkenbaltazar]

@@orbalology No worries! We’re so happy you have a new video that it doesn’t even matter :)

I’m a low buying year too, I am also careful on what games I’m adding to my collection. I’m glad to see another KZbin video^^

Wish I didn’t sell my 3ds now and all my games I had quite a lot

[@JustTheGems]

I was basically frozen with my finger over the buy button on the Metaphor collector's edition... But I decided not to, and the main reason is that I'm just literally out of room. 😂 I think for me it's going to be just Trails and Xeno collectors editions going forward. But I'll be really curious to see the Metaphor set when you get it!

[@orbalology]

One of my worries regarding Metaphor is that Atlus will release a more complete version within the year 🫠

[@kianlin3260]

Hello, Emily 😊 I only add two more games after the three games at the beginning of the year, only five games so far. But, I will order two more games for my birthday soon 😅 Interested in your next video about which games to pickup, Emily. Glad to hear your voice again. Till next time, have a great day 🌻

[@dantheman9936]

I had a rough day at work and I just wanted to thank you for your video and content. It instantly mellowed me out and I enjoy your enthusiasm! You are appreciated!

[@canneddirt]

The slow death of physical media has really helped to curtail my game spending.

[@svenvaltik5657]

I feel ya, brother. It sucks...

[@petros-v4w]

Physical will never die

[@gqpenn2]

I haven't felt it. The handful of games I wanted that were digital only ended up with physical editions.

[@XeikZone]

I buy digital games for fun, you should try as well. Watching my digital library (.pngs) is pretty good for the soul.

[@8-BitFryup-ru7pk]

It's not dying, REALLY wish folk would stop saying that 😕

[@Arophous]

Excited to hear 7 remake/rebirth opinions - they are beautiful games, I’m currently playing through rebirth and restarting final fantasy XIV journey again for a long term jrpg.

[@granallemo]

Yess, please, make the video about how you prioritize your pick ups, it would be extremely helpful. Thanks for your top quality content :)

[@user-kr5vm8nk1d]

Year so far: bought 4 (3 digital, and Sea of Stars physical for the Switch which I am halfway through and loving every minute), received 5 physical games as gifts. Beaten 2 games. Need to speed up to try and even up games in and games removed from the backlog.

[@dayru_ru]

completely agree with you about limited run

[@les-os]

Love seeing the new video and all the goodies lol - glad u mentioned that Tsukihime switch version, missed out on physical for Witch on the Holy Night so glad to see I didn’t miss the boat on this one yet :)

[@orbalology]

Glad I helped remind you about that release! It's one I can see going fast like Witch on Holy Night. Though I saw in other countries that they're offering standard editions so there's that at least this time around.

[@VorpalBender]

That spreadsheet model is super nifty. I definitely need to start doing that.

[@ian6239]

I pre-ordered Tsukihime as well. Super stoked for it and the wait is almost over. Witch on the Holy Night was absolutely incredible so I have high hopes.

[@orbalology]

I really loved Witch on the Holy Night too - I hear Tsukihime is even better!

[@LoveSpudsUK]

Hey Emily, it's funny to hear your comments around suffering with FOMO. I am terrible in this regard too and unfortunately for me, your vids often add to the problem when you highlight cool games 😅 Thanks for the video, I look forward to your next one👍

[@orbalology]

Oh no, hopefully nothing in this video triggered major fomo for you 😂

[@RE-LOOIE]

Some really solid pickups! I don't think you'll have any regrets setting up the Final Fantasy VII section on your shelf after you play Remake/Rebirth 🙂 Both are fantastic in their own unique ways, and it's so nice to see the extra depth and character growth you experience that wasn't as possible in the original game. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts when you get around to playing them. Great video, Emily!

[@orbalology]

Thanks Rusty! From what I've seen I think I'll really enjoy the new FF7 games too (so my little presumptuous shrine I'm sure will be justified soon 😂)

[@barryaldridge1113]

I got sea of stars on PS5 and it is a really good game. Having fun with it. Great to see you again Emily.

[@orbalology]

Glad to hear you enjoyed it! I've heard some mixed things about the combat style so I'm looking forward to seeing how I take to it.

[@Kain5th]

I think they nailed the aesthetics and music but were lacking in the story and characters. combat was fun but just had limited options you could do. if they do a sequel they would do well in hiring better writers and just tinkering with the battle mechanics a bit more. its a good first attempt, ill give them that. i just think it was a bit overhyped.

[@princeroan]

I really do enjoy your videos. like others have stated, your voice is very soothing and your style of content is always great. Keep up the great work. :D i wish i had the passion to buy these newer titles. from me, i have been buying less and less as the years go by, mainly because of how games are made now. sometimes we don't even get the whole game on a disc or on a card (nintendo, im looking at you!). also, games get updated on a weekly or monthly bases. If i do buy, its mainly playstation titles. i mainly get nintendo games digitally.

[@ドリフト180X]

I’m really looking forward to Trails Daybreak, and Ys 10 in fall. I like your pickups, love the fancy note paper.

[@DrGamingPlays]

Nice pickups and thanks for your results so far. My pre-order of Tsukihime was delayed of course (sometime after the 4th). I kind of regret not preordering Metaphor, but I was in a no buy situation then (kind of still am at the moment). My biggest retro pick up was earlier in the year and is Shadow Hearts for the PS2 in really good condition (now I have all three that I don't have time for, lol)

[@catalystiic]

I really adore your collecting videos, it inspires me to pull the trigger on the physical editions i want. Responsibly, of course! I tend to debate with myself too hard, like with the Pentiment Limited Run edition, and I ended up missing it :((((

[@outofthemox]

Glad to see you back! The unfocused camera is making me a little kooky though

[@fentazen2677]

Great job! I’m also buying less lately, but I don’t think I have the discipline to cut back too much further.

[@orbalology]

It can be difficult, but worth it to meet other goals :)

[@helveciog]

Nice to see you back. Been playing Sea of Stars since its one of the few games that my potato pc can run.

[@nixy1756]

Kia ora Emily from New Zealand! absolutely love your videos; theyre super imformative as well as entertaining. Thanks again!

[@DavidRBrown7]

The majority of my purchases have been digital but I have recently bought physical editions of Astral Chain, Fire Emblem Engage, Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth and Trails into Daybreak (which should be here very soon!). I hope all is going well with your new job!

[@orbalology]

Thanks, things have been transitioning well regarding the job so far! And you got some awesome titles there :)

[@maths34]

Those Idea Factory collectors editions look so well done! I haven't collected any retro games this year, definitely been focused on the Switch before some of those games get harder to find/more expensive. I would say for hidden gem my favorite pickup this year has been Gerda: A Flame in Winter - I'm not super huge on VNs but that one is my new favorite.

[@orbalology]

Oh I hadn't heard of that VN, will be looking into it :)

[@two-nichegaming4482]

It's unfortunate 'Hakuoki: Chronicles of Wind and Blossom' is one of those novel styled games. I often take pride and reassure myself of having good taste in anime when I see series I've watched already become available on large streaming platforms for the masses, or receive video game iterations. Nice to see you back Emily, and good to know your not only buying the premium stuff (like Rebirth & Baldur's Gate 3) but using your wallet to vote for somewhat decent stories. Also, although I don't care for discs, I can see the investment in a collectors PS5 'Metaphor: ReFantazio' compared to a Switch 'Persona' title knowing that there is no official seal of quality on the cart sticker these days...

[@cozyfeji]

It’s great to see you back! Also, your buying tracker has been such a life saver and I’ve been using it myself to track my year as well! Thanks Emily for coming in clutch 😊

[@orbalology]

Thanks Feji! I'm so glad to hear the tracker has gotten some great use from you :)

[@AziaXtremeNFinity]

here are all the games I got this year so far * Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition for the Switch * Rise of the Ronin (beat it) * Stellar Blade (still playing) * Unicorn Overlord (beat it) * Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance * One Piece Odyssey (PS5) * One Piece: World Seeker * Persona 5 Royal (PS5) * Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth * Tales of Arise (PS5) * Soul Hackers 2 (PS5) * Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty * Monark * Bomb Rush Cyberpunk * Persona 3 Reloaded * Lies of Pie * Scarlet Nexus * Paleo Pines I need to get some Switch games like Luigi's Mansion 3, Luigi's Mansion 2 HD, Super Mario RPG, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Sun, Princess Peach: Showtime!, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes

[@kupomogli]

Good new update on your collection. The only problem I see with this video is a lack of Mishy in the background, it looks like you've moved him.

[@n.b.a.youngdavid8476]

I completely agree with you and I’ve been slowing down my buying this year too and curving fomo. Another possible option for you for limited run games is there retail store in NC, it has all there releases in store for example both the persona games are there right know for the same price as they preordered online for and they often show up to the store before very many people have received there order. So me personally I don’t preorder I just wait till they get to the store and get them then for the same price as preorder and I don’t have to spend the money until the day I get them. Only thing that’s sometimes hard is certain collectors editions like the Jedi survivor collectors edition they didn’t get in the store except for people that preordered in store. But all there regular releases show up in the store :)

[@orbalology]

I live in California, so unfortunately the NC store is a bit too far away for me.

[@justinu1182]

Yay! You’re back! 😊 this video was perfectly timed. I’m just finishing up a long retro jrpg kick and haven’t played anything recent in a few months. Gnoshia (love that art style) and Root Double look right up my alley. Also, man do I regret not hopping on that preorder for P3P and P4G 😭 I played P4G on the Vita and it’s an all-timer for sure. Also, hope your transition to the new job is going well!

[@orbalology]

Gnosia's art style is really stunning! If you try one of those VNs hope you enjoy it.

[@kevinwebb82]

For me if the Switch 2, which I hope is called the Super Switch. If it wasn't backwards compatible, I would eventually get it just not right way because I have plenty of games to play on the OG switch. BTW glad to see you are back from your hiatus!

[@orbalology]

I'm really curious what the final name will be too, I hope it's not just Switch 2 as well 😅

[@icedmosquito109]

I’m trying to resist buying all the SMT games on 3DS but they’d look so beautiful on my shelf. I don’t think I can hold out much longer but it’s gonna hurt my wallet. I keep track of my purchases in Excel too we are definitely kindred spirits.

[@orbalology]

The SMT 3DS games are pretty great! Really love the Devil Survivor games in particular.

[@sarahlloyd119]

[@hm9821]

[@unconditionallove3820]

Kicking myself for not getting that deluxe ff7 when it was time, good call on that. Catching up on missed zeldas has been the highlight of this year. Into Persona 5 now really enjoying it, will probably have to get 3 and 4 as well. My time has been limited with work unfortunately. Glad to see you're being very strategic this year. Dragon Quests and Echoes incoming

[@orbalology]

I'll likely wait until next year for the DQ remakes and new Zelda. Though if they come out with a similar Dreamers edition for Zelda like they did for the Link's Awakening remake I may have to preorder 😅

[@unconditionallove3820]

@orbalology I hear that and likely what's going to end up happening for me. Seems like finally getting ps5 is more important and everything going with that

[@borisdg]

There is Root Double - Before Crime After Days - Xtend Edition - for EU/PEGI. I even own it.

[@Maxbeedo2]

This year I've bought LAD:Infinite Wealth, FF7 Rebirth, Dragon's Dogma 2, ER: Shadow of the Erdtree, Stranger of Paradise:FF Origin, and the FF1-6 Pixel Remasters. Only FF7 Rebirth was physical, the deluxe edition with the mini soundtrack and art book. That's a little more than I usually buy in a year, because the first four were highly anticipated by me, though the last half of the year doesn't have quite as much I'm looking forward to (so far).

[@orbalology]

Yeah so far for me I just have Metaphor & Ys X on my radar for the second half of the year (hopefully that'll be all I give in to for new releases 😂)

[@Allerka]

I bought FF7 Rebirth Deluxe Edition, pre-ordered ReFantazio, and spent some cash at a recent retro gaming convention, buying Persona 4 Dancing All Night: Disco Edition, and a few other smaller games. However, I've spent over $700 this year on very obscure gaming hardware stuff, including a Doctor V64 and a Super Wild Card DX.

[@orbalology]

It's fun to splurge on obscure items, so I don't blame you in the least!

[@Allerka]

@@orbalology Yeah, first time I've ever seen either of them, especially with them still in the box.

I'm also picking up Tsukihime, it's one of 3 games I have preordered right now.

[@skywarrior1004]

I agree with you about Limited Run games being “limited” and I regret not ordering Persona 3 and Persona 4 for switch because now I have no way to get them except on resale market or if one turns out in a random GameStop; I did find Blasphamous 1 for switch at a GS 😮 which I did not know had a physical release. But I’m curious: what’s that steelbook next to the blue penguin bottom left on video?

[@barcster2003]

It might be ok because in theory switch 2 will have persona 3 reload. And presumably they will do a 4 remake.

[@bobbymoss6160]

Hi Emily! Thanks for sharing your pickups. I've only been focused on Switch games this year and a couple Steam games here and there. There are too many games on Switch, my poor backlog. 😅

[@jasonsumma1530]

I feel your new job, whatever and wherever it may be, will be the biggest influence on the next six months. If you have to move to a smaller space, then less room. If you are lucky enough to move to a larger space, then more opportunities. Regardless of what kind of job you get, there will be some transition time where you won't have as much time to play or shop for new games. When you go retro games, would you tell us what ones you are having difficulty finding? You may be lucky enough that one of us has the game(s) you are looking for and is willing to sell it.

[@NCSUWolfpacker2010]

I definitely get the frustration with limited run, especially for the bigger publisher games. I live 10 minutes from the retail shop so it hasn’t hit me super hard. But I did notice when I picked up Rocket Knight last week for switch, none on the shelf and only could grab if preordered. I wonder if it will make it to the regular shelf to just buy… but also the preorder commitment in store is only 5 bucks so I basically just preorder everything these days lol.

[@tonyp9313]

I love your pick ups. Very cool. Mostly I like the spreadsheet you showed on how much you spent on your video games. Also the fact you really go into detail & explain things very well. So what's up with me? Yeah I quit buying Modern gaming. I quit because I found it to overwhelming. I had like 10+ games in my back log another 10 on my list, then it was a matter of me hardly playing them because it felt like a huge chore to beat games that are 30 hours on avg, with work that makes me mentally & physically exhausting I just said enough is enough & decided to quit Modern gaming. I am just curious, you made a chart with your spending, how much do you want to spend this year on games?

[@orbalology]

I didn't really have a definitive threshold of how much I'm looking to spend. The goal was to be more selective so I can have more time to focus on them this year. And put off other titles I may be interested in next year (when hopefully they'll still be available and on sale). Sorry to hear that modern gaming hasn't been meshing with your playing style. But the great thing about gaming is that we have a huge history of fantastic titles that we can tap into! So I hope you can discover some new favorites looking back at least.

[@drivillain4967]

I don't mind the month pre-order when it comes to LRG as much as I do care about big studios using them like Ubisoft or even Xbox. They have plenty of money to publish them.

[@andreysegura2510]

I'm with you on the LRG issue. There are too many games from big developers/publishers being publisher by LRG. My guess is that it takes the burden off them and passes it on to a company that deals with limited quantities and rarely has to deal with excess stock. The problem is that if you find out about these games later on, or if you want to purchase them later, you're out of luck, you'll have to overpay. It is frustrating indeed

[@orbalology]

Yup, and a lot of these large companies are downsizing or getting rid of their physical media production teams. So LRG has been their way to cut back on their physical game rollout which is sad.

[@andreysegura2510]

@@orbalology Absolutely. And although their idea is supposed to help preserve physical media, they're effectively helping companies get rid of it. I really hate it that in the future, people won't be able to play games they just discovered because some companies decided to release as few units as possible

The Falcom titles on the PS5 are very nice 😂😆 Though I'm kicking myself for missing out on Ys IX's PS5 release - I'm hoping that gets a reprint.

@@orbalology I hope so too! I actually like Ys IX more than VIII

Soooo jelly over those Persona pickups. I want to restart P4 Golden but I only have physical on Vita. Would love to have a Switch version.

What is your opinion of the Kemco JRPG collections?

[@coletrondeluxe]

hey Emily, with BG3 do you know if its up to date on disc? i have the japan release, but i know shortly after it came out the game had a massive overhaul.

[@orbalology]

The physical editions through Larian Studios' website will be playable without additional downloads (unlike the Japanese version). I'm unsure whether it'll have all the up-to-date patches however.

This year I bought a holy grail item: the Seaman Christmas Edition Dreamcast. it’s clean af. never thought I’d see the day either! i paid 999 dollars for it. thank the Lord.

[@orbalology]

Oh man, congrats on obtaining your holy grail!

100% agree with large companies using Limited Run. XBox really rubs me the wrong way. They are the biggest company in existence.

I came to your channel after you were in a video with Miss Bubbles and am so happy you have a new video! I really enjoyed seeing your pickups, I love adding new physical games to my collection. Excited for the next video!

Thank you so much!
