I'm Not Buying As Many Retro Games Anymore, Except This One. | Game Collecting Pickups Ep. 14

[@stankyyboi]

Ryan: video games are expensive and sometimes you have to be responsible Also Ryan: I spent $600 on yugioh cards

[@Walking-MY-Path]

LOLOL

[@mieteegg]

And that's exactly why we love the guy

[@jeanoltt]

Ryan: It's not a lot for 5 months without buying. Me: Spending that money in a decade

[@Virang807]

Thank you for the shoutout Ryan! I was trying to go by memory of the frogger games you had so I apologize I gave you a duplicate! But I do love all the content you make so that means a lot you are still willing to keep it!

[@kaitojeanne815]

Adulting is adding one expensive hobby to another 😭

[@Axisjampa]

You are preaching to the church. 🙌

[@Walking-MY-Path]

Ain’t that the truth 😭🙏

[@steveco1800]

None more expensive than girlfriends and babies 🫣

[@pacificdash]

Adulting IS the most expensive hobby. I don’t recommend it if you can avoid getting into it

[@GotCamel]

Adulting gets in the way of my gaming.

[@BadGamerEmJay]

Thanks for your videos. I was needing something upbeat & happy (I’m finding a lot of KZbin videos are moaning, being negative which really affects my mood) but I knew clicking on your stuff always makes me feel good. Appreciate it.

[@iamarabicandiloveamericanp7137]

Especially them star wars acolyte videos like chill the f out

[@kamelbulle]

Agreed. I have stopped watching videos where they just bitch and moan about video games and the industry.

[@kamelbulle]

@@HarrisonList Yeah, I don't know what happend. People love to hate games and dog pile on to new "bad" games. For me, I just stopped viewing and reading shit when people just complain about games. People saying games have become shit, but I just Keep on playing better and better games..

[@Official_RetroMania]

Me: I invested in a very valuable item! My friend: Gold? Or maybe diamonds? Company stocks? Me: Video games 👀

[@ThatGenericPyro]

Yeah; *POKEMON Diamond & Gold!*

[@lowerclassbrats77]

If the game is too expensive I just convince my self I never wanted it in the first place.

[@iamarabicandiloveamericanp7137]

Honestly for me I just pirate them bc legitimate copies in my country are like crazy expensive like 2 games equal 1 month salary and I live paycheck to paycheck

[@faarisfowzi9498]

That’s fair point. We in the same boat too , I live in a third world country, so collection is hard. Ryan influenced me into collecting, so i have been blessed with a a few places that i can order games in fair prices.​@@iamarabicandiloveamericanp7137

[@flouserschird]

You don’t want to play Poo Slinger on PS4??

[@Fallen_Blade]

Way I see it, if a person didn’t want a game when it was cheap then why want it now when it got expensive

[@dapperfan44]

​@Fallen_Blade $60 isn't cheap, they may have been waiting for a sale that never came.

[@SkillJim]

Shenmue 1 & 2 are the greatest video games ever made. If you know the history, and you realise that Shenmue 1 was released at the end of 1999, not only were the graphics mind blowing, but also the amount of detail is staggering. Just one playthrough you won’t even have touched the surface of some of the layered details throughout. We’re even still finding unique things about the games even today. Yu Suzuki was a genius back then. I’m excited for you to experience them, it’ll take you to places you weren’t even expecting by the end of the second game :)…and then understand the pain we all went through for 18 years haha! Really hope you enjoy them Ryan! The remasters have a few little quirks and bugs that weren’t on the Dreamcast originals, like some strange music audio issues for certain tracks, unecessary extra compression on the VO…i’m sure it was an accident to double compress them for a Bluray disc haha. The PC versions have had some fixes from the fans, such as an audio restoration project, adding widescreen to the cutscenes, Shenmue 2 in particular display cutscenes in not just letter box but also 4:3 black bars, so considering all of the cutscenes are ingame engine, the widescreen mod really makes the whole game look incredible. If you do play on the PS4, just be mindful of those flaws in the remasters !

[@EirkenElite]

Tetris is better

[@Synes7hesia]

It was awesome running into you by chance at TMG! Super genuine and just made my day more than any of the cool things I snagged from any of the vendors or any of the events I was at. Really cool to finally see that CIB Pokemon Yellow you mentioned that you picked up too! Super super clean looking example of the game/box.

[@alexrogers8759]

The collection update videos are some of my favorites of yours. I love to live vicariously through your spending lol

[@MaxaMillion711]

Love these collection and pickup videos 🍿

[@lightskindisgrace]

i need 2017 chicago bulls paul zipser highlight compilation ASAP

[@Roc_Official]

I would’ve never thought I would see you here. 😂

[@DacioNerdTV]

I started collecting again. Doing it while I’m young with no family of my own yet. I’ve cut out GC, DC, NES, SNES and Genisis. I’m fine with just emulating them with a retro usb controller for each emulator. All the PlayStation consoles, Wii and Nintendo switch is what i collect for now. I love retro games so much 🤤

[@stannisthemannis5535]

I've recently reflected and had the realization that I was collecting more than playing and paying dumb money for games that I KNOW I would never play. So, I've started selling on eBay and moving forward will only pick a game up if I have full intention of playing it.

[@flouserschird]

I got my Baldurs Gate 3 PS5 copy a few days ago as well. So exciting! Glad I waited to play the game because it’s amazing. I refused to pay full price for digital.

[@TheYAnKy007]

- I’m being a responsible adult human being *spends 500$ on YuGio cards*

[@Supersmallchibiwolf]

I love these pickup videos. Also the Sony PlayStation 1 unless you're going for rare games It's the most affordable retro gaming console out their these days. Thanks for sharing such amazing pickups. 1:12 very cultured moment. 6:13 Ah yes Pikadu the rarest of them all. Cool video. ^_^

[@michaelgibbons4738]

One of my favourite series on your channel. Keep up the good work Ryan

[@crazy_butterfly_lady]

Platinuming Shenmue 1 & 2 was one of the most fun experiences I’ve had, highly recommend and you’ll have with this one😇

[@step9624]

That dude who offered the $1400 was definitely one of those entitled resellers 😂

[@DjCrispyFingers]

Phoenix Resale

[@bushgamer]

Shemune started the foundation of yakuza games and ppl say that it's virtua fighter started the yakuza games but it's actually shemune

[@QdaQueen]

The Mario Kart 64 pickup is one of those......#iykyk type of things. No explanation needed. CLASSIC!!!

[@jogandogeracoes]

Man, if it's expensive to collect retro games out there, you can't even imagine what it's like here in Brazil. I recently bought Castlevania SotN for PS1, I had to buy a version with a reproduction of the manual and inserts, with just the original CD, it was about R$400, as the complete version is worth about R$1500 (R$ is the Brazilian currency, R$5 = $1 ), and the average salary here is R$1500. That's what I also recently picked up Parasite Eve, without the demo CD precisely because it's cheaper. My collection is growing, but slowly and with sacrifices like repro manuals.

[@deanyosla]

I'd love to see future Yu-Gi-Oh content from you, even if it's just brief unboxing or you having friendly match with Tyrell. Would be interesting I think.

[@smgofdvld]

PS4 and switch are my modern day ps2 and 3ds😅 outside of a few finished series I don’t have many ps2 games left it’s a very small collection compared to when I was a kid .

[@benjiholmes7269]

Shenmue 1 and 2 are amazing. Hope you get to sit back and enjoy them soon. Shenmue 2 was the first one I played on the Xbox as a demo. I recently got back into playing and collecting PS1 games.

[@realgambadogaming]

The Mario Kart 64 CIB is too clean, it's also my favorite Mario Kart just due to the memories like you said. Great pickups!

[@MakoTenseii]

Oh dude Shenmue 2 is in my top 10 of all time. Hope you like it

[@TheSimonHxC]

It's always nice listening to you talk Ryan. Nice video!

[@LeneAlexandraa]

Bro only calculated 270 for Pokémon Yellow but mentioned he spent 320, so add 50 bucks to the total spending

[@zevzero]

As Dusk Falls comes with a poster and a replica of Dante’s black book too!

[@Lloyal23]

Excited to hear what you think of Shenmue 😂 It's an all-time favorite of mine, I've been meaning to play 2 & 3...

[@Shynotic]

That Frogger game is the first video game I ever owned. Opened it on Christmas Day with my glacier GBA. Loved that game.

[@Aerialslayer]

Nice pick ups! Ryan is one of the best content creators on this platform. One of the nicest people on here. Informative. Knowledgeable. Keep up the great work and thank you!

[@GameCollectingReaper]

Great additions to the collection! Was glad to see you with the Yellow! Still need that one myself! Was great seeing and chatting with you again man! Ps1 stuff you say? When are you gonna be like me and buy a Klonoa? Hmmm lol

[@Gam3r4Fun]

So cool Pokemon Yellow pickup. ❤ I got my near mint CIB copy 6 months ago for $200(2000kr) and I also have it in a acrylic box protector. 😉 Also I just got a near mint CIB copy of Pokémon Silver as well. ❤😊

[@TFconfused]

Always love collection videos! Just ordered the crazy expensive Alan wake 2 collectors edition so no more for me for awhile so I'll live vicariously through you

[@Interstellar19]

Regardless of the quantity, it's still a great haul! That copy of Yellow is clean! I'm missing Yellow, Ruby and Blue myself, fingers crossed I'll find them someday!

[@WebstersYouTube]

Shenmue is an all-time favourite. You're in for a treat.

[@JackBoland-xs9rr]

Every time I watch a collection update, the urge to spend money grows 😂

[@freehugzhere865]

Been waiting for this for so long 😭

[@Biggsmech]

Great pickups and i ordered the Xbox Series X version of Baldurs Gate 3 and it’s a crazy 4 discs.

[@Ivy_Writer]

I'm stealing that coin toss tactic.😂

[@xDeath35]

If you want yugi, kaiba, and joey's deck get the legendary duelist decks 2 i believe it is at target i got it a few weeks ago at a target for 30 dollars

[@kingcollector9000]

It's awesome seeing people get back into yugioh and collecting cards. I use to collect yugioh cards but now I am not as interested into collecting yugioh anymore and thinking of selling my yugioh collection.

[@PeopleEqualShit6661]

I know you’ve got a huge collection already. Probably most of what you’re looking for- but you should do more of the random lot unboxings

[@aadipie]

6:01 RYAN MYSTIC F BOMB 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

[@jeffreym4964]

what a naughty cat

[@carltonbanks7566]

Always loved your collection updates videos 👌 thanks Ryan!

[@brettsadler4211]

Great job. When you realize it's just old plastic on a shelf, it's time to stop or slow doen. Emulators are the way to go if you want to play old games.

[@ümid-b9e]

In the world of science, we explore the efficiency of quick refunds and the procedure

[@kingfordism]

That mass effect legendary edition looks like it came out of a Walmart envelope. About a month ago Walmart had a sale and put that game up for $5. I bought it then thinking for a brand new copy it was a no brainer! My local game shop had the shenmue 1&2 for 19.99 and I thought about it but passed and bought a couple more cheeper games. Im on the hunt to pick as many of the cheeper PS4 as I can right now.

[@Gaming-Enthusiast]

Nice Pick ups Ryan , you are a massive inspiration to us smaller content creators 👍👍

[@Piranha5150]

I miss these videos! Please continue to make more

[@spacedoutgaming]

I thought that second to last box looked familiar considering I also ordered and waited for BG3 Deluxe to arrive

[@BladeBlur]

Hey Ryan! It was nice chatting with you at TMG on the last day! I didn't even know you were into YuGiOh! back then so it was cool we can talk about it as well. Also I finally got my 8tb SSD for my PS5 and now I have a spare 1.6tb for games lol. Pleasure meeting you!

[@curryking1]

Latest classic collection I built up is og Xbox collection 😎💎

[@Parisiancollector]

Same. Started last month. Got it back in the day.

[@josephbuchanan2319]

Personally I never played it but I’d love to collect for 360 cause that’s the only Xbox that I played as a kid and have great memories with.

[@curryking1]

@@josephbuchanan2319 half the og Xbox library is back compat on 360 so check those out too my friend

[@malocca]

Shenmue is one of the best Dreamcast games ever

[@KironKabir]

Love Team APS content. I was a YGO kid too ☺️

[@TylerPKegger]

I remember 10 years ago, PS3, PS2, PSP games & movies were dirt cheap, now almost everything item is 10+. He’ll even consoles were cheap under 200 unless new and now try over 350+ to 400.

[@Venkullix]

was NOT expecting a team aps reference in a mystic video

[@kingbacon6563]

Adulting is telling yourself that you're done with disposable spending for the year... and then immediately dropping $150 on an R2D2 themed X-Box 360 (this may or may not be from personal experience) 😆

[@Noffy17]

I’m loving all the Yu-Gi-Oh! talk 😊

[@kevin3seven]

That is awesome you are getting back into Yugioh. I was huge into it back in the day. Piquing my interest.

[@bballwalli]

Still insane how much pokemon goes for. I remember getting them as a kid and just tossing the boxes. Still have most of my original games though lol

[@synthetic1]

Wild! I just got back into the YGO TCG recently too

[@Tjoeb123]

I could already tell that that was Pokémon Yellow in the thumbnail before I even opened the video.

[@callmemike__1]

I got mass effect legendary edition from Walmart on clearance for $5 a few months back!!

[@janwatkins5523]

Very nice Mystic you've got a great collection

[@Finimator]

I'm not gonna lie, if you guys decided to start a side channel that was all about cracking open Yugioh packs I'd watch the hell out of that

[@nestororganes6564]

If you ever come to houston there is a store here called Player 1 video games who have a sealed copy fire red been there for a while since i think its $1K

[@Mamiya645]

I worry with how many people somewhat spontaneously find minty unopened copies of this or that attractive game, where not even the plastic seal seems to have been touched, and place those games for sale :/

[@Joseph___46z0]

Emotional alert: crucial information about refunds

[@vicism3375]

That specific magazine is burned into my memory for some reason must have forgotten it in my backpack or something

[@jake4532]

I also bought BG3 box despite owning it digitally. I love larian studios such a great company I wanted to support further

[@leonelrivera3082]

Same. And the Deluxe has great goodies. Couldn't help it.

[@gilded_lady]

Same. I'm a physical girl and a collector regardless, but I've also put so much time into it so I absolutely feel like it was justifiable to double dip.

[@FigsyGames]

love seeing the pokemon games make it into the collection

[@Winter2k23]

after raritys from nintendo. Mass effect jumps out ...good find.

[@MrTronCat1]

It's crazy ... I just started getting into collecting yugioh cards too.

[@dazidazu1476]

its funny, with much as yours mario kart, i dont collect N64 either, yet ive got my quake 1 Mint game still standing tall. Its childhood in a box.

[@okmmko09]

Great video as always!

[@dubstepZOMBIE64]

Is the magazine not available to purchase anymore?

[@silverian]

Always great to see game pickups!

[@rudycooper007]

Yooo I am so into Yugioh and maxing out rarity’s picking up starlights ultimates & QCRS man it’s thousands of dollers my collection is growing each year

[@illest_villain856]

The timing is Crazy I’m thinking of getting back into Yugioh also

[@cliffordthompson8248]

This makes me wish I still had my old pokemon games and yugioh cards.

[@Waynesworldofgaming]

I am on the fence with my collecting habits now, I find prices are getting wild and I’m not sure how long I can keep this hobby up 🙈

[@nah7793]

Mystic and Ruxin collab when?

[@Silvervette96]

At the end when you show everything and say that is everything, Balders Gate 3 was missing

[@BlaximilianD00d]

I haven't splurged on gaming either. No physical copies and no digital downloads. I downloaded Doom 1+2 yesterday. Come to find out I could have had it since I paid for the last Doom game I downloaded. I'm going to use this lack of spending as a way to save more money.

[@patrickmcdonnell8835]

When it comes to cartridge based games I am always a cart person the price difference is significant especially with Nintendo games.

[@IowaRetroGamerDad]

I've done videos on buying way too many games and how it is a problem. I've been focusing more on just playing games now instead of just buying shelf fillers.

[@williamlay8367]

Are you looking to pick up the Tomba remasters on limited run games?

[@LucasDekker_CreativeWorks]

I am deep into Baldurs gate now, I really wanted a standard edition but sadly it does not exist in Europe.

[@ricardoelizadle941]

I personally just restarted playing Yugioh too so I see this video as a win

[@krowan477]

Love these videos, i dont know why

[@kyleholloway3470]

Even if there was a game I wanted more than anything else, there is no way I'd pay even close to that.

[@Roc_Official]

Holy shit, what a waste of money on nothing. I mean, if there was good games, then sure… and 600 spent on CARDS… 🤦🏽‍♂️ “Responsible adulting” huh…

[@lancecogan9893]

I kind of agree, at this point i value the experience of just playing video games over having a collection. That collection means nothing once you're dead and nobody who collects things are ever satisfied. There's always that "just one more" mindset that keeps people addicted.

[@smallshowzoom3278]

Petition for mystic to do yugioh pack openings right here

[@DOC_951]

I think you are burnt out on collecting… I got the same with Pokémon cards. You take a step back and look at your room and you are like “wow, I’m a hoarder and need help.”

[@Neopumper666]

Hey Ryan did you pull yubel stuff in your boxes?

[@SaltySwan2801]

Damn, my BG3 copy hasn’t shipped yet

[@etherealdreamerart]

It's so many games I never played, I'll never get through them all in my lifetime. 😅

[@jenerossitea9247]

I've come to just accept that myself over the past few years. My steam, switch and ps4 library is hundreds of games. Even if I don't fall into the habit of playing games I've beaten before, I won't get through em all 😅

[@Daeys2411]

is the 4K in your videos correct? because switching to 1080 and back seems the same quality ..
