Video Game Pickups 14 - Limited Run Games SUCKS Less Now

[@oliverrendall]

Just got in for the pub and delighted to see a pickup vid :)

[@RNGGamerYT]

Hope you had a good time! Have any whisky? Thanks for watching!

[@docicusalignjon]

I really want a lot of games that Limited Run publishes... But I HATE my FOMO being exploited, paying DOUBLE the game's price because of shipping + tax (I live in the EU) and waiting YEARS for it to come out just to be available on retail for MUCH cheaper in the meanwhile (sometimes). I also bought Inscryption from Special Reserve but for the Switch on their second chance sale, and after everything, it cost me like 65$ 😡 Great vid tho!

[@RNGGamerYT]

I don't have to pay the exorbitant shipping fees to Europe, and I still feel exploited by all of these limited game companies. I have cut back my ordering a lot, but they still manage to get their claws into me on a regular basis. I received my copy of Inscryption from special reserve... but no word on Cult of the Lamb (and it's been out at retail for over a year). Thank you for watching!

[@docicusalignjon]

@@RNGGamerYT here's hoping most of them get released via retail as well. Especially Castlevania. I mean come on, that isn't coming from a little indie studio!

[@RNGGamerYT]

I think it's a fair deal for Konami. They know these re-releases of legacy games are more of a collector's item. It's probably not even worth it for them to pay the salary of people to create the packaging, market the game, and deal with having everything manufactured, when you can just have LRG do all of the work and then take a percentage of the revenue. How many copies of that collection will they sell? 20,000? 10,000? Less? That's like half a million dollars in revenue...a lot less in profit. Most certainly not worth it for a large company to do it in-house.

[@mercurysillus6298]

Love your energy. I just started collecting for the ps3 a few months ago. I sold everything in my collection prior to the original PlayStation. It is hard to be selective when you see all the stuff out there, I see you don’t have that problem. 😂

[@RNGGamerYT]

I am super selective! I only buy the stuff that interests me. Unfortunately, that's pretty much every game 😅😅😅 Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@mercurysillus6298]

@@RNGGamerYT Yeah I think the number of pickups speaks more to the volume of games created each year, it is crazy, no one person could keep with all of them. I’ve picked up like 50 ps3 games, and I want to play like 30 of them, I can’t even keep up with that number, I’ve completed one so far. I also picked up a XBOX 360 E from Goodwill this week for $19, and a PS3 (not backwards compatible, only two USB’s on front) for $30. Cleaned and redid thermal paste on both.

[@RNGGamerYT]

@@mercurysillus6298 I'm super aware of how hard it is to keep up! I have like 40 more years to play these games. So I'm not worried...yet

[@allenantonio4389]

nice, me too..ps3 has a lot of great games

[@laurigardner6227]

The reverse compatible PS3 has four USB ports in the front, so that should be a reverse hardware compatible PS3 that can play PS1, PS2 and PS3 games. Excellent score. Question: What's with the image of a fluffy corgi butt that appeared on screen for like a second, 3-4 times? I am buying a used copy of Redout because of you, lol

[@RNGGamerYT]

Thanks for letting me know about the PS3. Glad it's backwards compatible. As for the corgi butt... I have a bad habit of saying, "but..." then pausing for a few seconds while I gather my thoughts. It's kind of like saying, "um." Anyway, most of my videos are completely unscripted, so when I edit out the long awkward pauses, I often find that the sentence before them ends with, "but..." Not only that, but because of my speech patterns, the emphasis is often on that word instead of something actually relevant. This makes it so I can't edit out the word, "but" along with the awkward pauses, or it would sound like I cut right in the middle of a sentence. So, I have to leave them in. I decided that rather than fight it, I would just embrace it and insert the picture of a corgi butt every time I do it. Thanks for noticing. And thanks for your continued support!

[@gameshelfdev]

I had Greg Hastings Paintball 2 on the Wii haha. I'd love to hear your thoughts on SMT III, I recently beat IV and I am choosing which SMT to play next. Fun video as always!

[@RNGGamerYT]

If you haven't played the persona games, I would recommend those. I think they're the best SMT games

[@gameshelfdev]

@@RNGGamerYT I have played P5, loved it, and part of P4 which I need to go back to complete!

[@pauljacob99]

I love seeing a new video on Saturday. I also received a couple shipments from Limited Run this week. Maybe they are finally getting their stuff together?

[@RNGGamerYT]

I put out a video every Saturday! I've never missed a single time. Limited Run seems to be fully moved into their new warehouse now. I think they are getting more organized and back on track. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@warrendesenberg]

I really liked the Sinking City, had a cool creepy vibe to it. Good pickup!

[@RNGGamerYT]

Thanks! I'm really looking forward to it

[@kurganwins]

Wasteland is like the original 2 Fallout games, so an isometric top-down turn-based RPG style.

[@RNGGamerYT]

Ahhh... the dreaded CRPG.... I'm so terrible at those. Thanks for letting me know. And thanks for watching and commenting

[@PowerlifterRich]

That's an impressive collection! You must have a good job lol. Have you have watched the angry video game nerd? He was prob one of the first to do it so I'm sure you have.

[@RNGGamerYT]

I've been a fan of the AVGN for a long, long time! I have 2 pretty decent jobs that I've worked at for well over a decade. But, this stuff doesn't cost as much as you think. It's all spread out over many years. It's on par with taking the family to the movies once a week

[@dakosmith6]

New subscriber here, I was going to ask about the deal with the Corgi's butt , BUT then I think I figured it out 🙂

[@RNGGamerYT]

Haha, I answered this down in the comments somewhere. I have a bad habit of ending my sentences with, "but..." and then pausing to collect my thoughts. When I edit out the pauses, if I cut the, "buts..." out, it feels awkward. So I embraced it and added a corgi butt whenever I do it. Thanks for noticing, and thanks for subscribing!

[@themanboycave122]

I can’t believe you actually got something from limited run. I’ve given up on them.

[@RNGGamerYT]

It was a surprise to me, too! Some of it just showed up without any notifications or anything. Thanks for all the support, as always

[@ItsMe_Brandon]

Amazing to see that you bought Kena bridge of spirits. i remember recommending it to you on a ps5 video. Also nice to see that playasia has fatal frame cause i wanted to try it myself aswell and gonna look if they deliver (with not insane highly shipping costs) to belgium cause i've been looking for that game and samurai jack on ps4 for some time now. amazing pickup!

[@RNGGamerYT]

I remember you recommending it! Playasia is great. I order from them all of the time and have never had any issues whatsoever. Thank you for the continued support!

[@christopheramaro4108]

As a fan of fatal frame, you won’t be disappointed. I think the only issue is that it’s very slow paced. But it’s broken up into chapters much like the old games. So it helps to knock out a chapter at a time. But fun nonetheless. Also if I remember correctly, if you get the switch version it uses the touchscreen to use the camera obscura to capture the photos. Hope you enjoy it if you’ve gotten it!

[@BulletPr00fGAm3r]

The Tropico series done by Kalypso are great in my opinion! Keep up the great videos! Have you thought of putting some gameplay footage for each game you showcase? Like 5-6 seconds per game just to visualize what the games are.

[@RNGGamerYT]

I forgot they did Tropico! Thanks for reminding me. I do gameplay footage for my reviews, but never for my pickups or collection videos. It would be too much work to capture gameplay footage. However, I am thinking about incorporating some gameplay trailers on the pickups videos. That should be somewhat doable

[@BulletPr00fGAm3r]

@@RNGGamerYT on my end i really appreciate your pick up videos. Keep up the great work!

You're look'n a little glossy bro...haha!!!🤣 Great pick ups!!! Antarctica 88 is the only game I bought from Limited Rare.....I wasn't fast enough for the others like that Poop Slinger and Tamashi.....but I downloaded them from the store for like $5.....and honestly that's all they're really worth....they're pretty low budget....lol. Great score on that Castlevania Ultimate.....I too got that....beautiful piece for sure.🙂👍

Nice pickups pal, like you i do pickup most shmup releases

[@RNGGamerYT]

Thanks! I wish more people felt like us about shmups!

[@silviuamuza3902]

Astalon is great, though it has some nasty difficulty spikes towards the end, specially some bosses. I gave up on the platinum because of 1 trophy, the boss rush.

[@RNGGamerYT]

I'll keep that in mind when my instincts make me want to go for the platinum! Thanks for the support as always!

[@TEEBS303]

Strange Brigade looks pretty sweet, I had never heard of it. And I’m pretty sure that PS3 with 4 ports is backwards compatible. Sweet deal there.

[@animedrawer69]

All 4 usb ports PS3 systems are Backwards Compatible. If they are in good working condition they are worth easily $300

Kena is amazing!! I couldn't put it down.

I'm excited to see how many people are discovering the game!

[@Nhexturtle]

LGR sucks more for me. the price increase for my country made it impossible for anyone in sound mind to purchase from them.

[@RNGGamerYT]

Oh yeah! I see the shipping is insane all over Europe and abroad. Luckily, I only live a short distance from LRG. So, shipping is about $5 for me, usually. Hopefully, they can get their European distributer sorted out. Perhaps that will allow them to offer more fair rates

[@MyloshEK]

Sinking City is nice. Not bad at all (i had the same problem but I do not regret at all...)

[@jesuschavez9110]

What do you use to play a game randomly? lol and app?

[@RNGGamerYT]

I've been using a series of spreadsheets and a random number generator for years. However, I'm currently working with a developer on getting my system out to the public

[@AltarOfGaming]

Why do you value wanting to open a game less, than the value it has on ebay?

[@RNGGamerYT]

That's a strange way to think about it. Since I play everything randomly, they sit in the backlog for a really long time and often appreciate in value. Of course, I'm not going to open them before it's time to play them. It would be silly to bust the seal on a game and devalue it by a significant portion when you can just trade it to someone looking for a sealed copy, replace yours with an open copy, and have extra capital to add something else to your collection. While I'm not a collector who is normally concerned about value (other than what the game costs me to buy), they do have monetary value. Since I have children, it's important for me to make sure I don't devalue the collection carelessly since it will be passed on to them one day after I'm gone.

[@AltarOfGaming]

@@RNGGamerYT I actually forgot that you do swap sealed copies for opened ones, really smart! I definitely don't want to influence you, but to be fair these kind of limited editions will hold a ton of value whether sealed or not, 1, 2 or 4 decades down the road (especially when held by a collector in pristine condition). Stick to your timeline though, you are smart about this!

[@Twoand86]

What the hell is the point of keeping something sealed If you really wanted it, especially when you paid full price. Even if it's worth more, just sell it and buy an open copy if you're that anal about losing value on it.

[@RNGGamerYT]

Obviously, I try to trade my sealed copies for open ones! I do it all the time and mention it constantly. I prefer not to have sealed games unless there is some special memory about the reason they are sealed. But I'm not going to open a sealed copy of a game that's doubled in value since I bought it just to play it. Especially not when I can go out and buy an open copy for $30 or just download it. One day, this collection will belong to my kids after I'm gone. And while I'm not in it for the money, it would make me a bad steward of my children's future if I were to devalue it frivilously. Still, thank you for watching and commenting. I try not to be too picky about things
