Oh so now "similar" is good enough when it's Joel huh

Bella doesnt look similar at all. It was always good enough.

TMOG posted...

Gonna repost because I edited it in and the topic's moving quickly lol

If we're being honest nobody in the show actually looks like their video game counterpart (except for Marlene), so to single her out for it just feels like you're trying to creep

Joel looks similar....and the others arnt the mains.

Doom_Art posted...

yes but do those other options have the same acting talent and chemistry with the actor playing Joel?

Those people are creepy.

"this actress playing a 14 year old girl isn't pretty enough"

fucking gross lol

Shes 19.

acting chops > looking like the video game character

Sure but when you have options for those who look more like the character. And also people are upset that bella isnt a good looking actor as well.

Even if I were to walk with you to this pier that you're insisting on standing on, it still won't work.

A solid 50%+ of LRGs catalog get additional, non limited print runs through other companies. PlayAsia is full of them. They stay cheap, stay on the market, and tank that resell value.

Give it 10 years.

It seems like theres plenty of options for actors that look much more like ellie but they chose someone who looks nothing like her.

Shes 19 so i dont understand the other complaints.

and it's still an example of the cartridge being the original format, like i said above. This is that "authenticity" i spoke of but may not have articulated well.

Modern games who's initial and most celebrated release was digital don't gain that authenticity for having a physical copy released a few months later.

Give it 10 years..

She looks like Ditto turned into Ellie with that face....

The last one in hopes its their last one.

Damn tc. Youre so woke making this useless topic.

Gremlynn posted...

And? They aren't special in terms of what drives value for them either.

Rarity drives value much more in games than books. I already listed an example that you ignored.

Gremlynn posted...

it's not just rarity that adds to value, it's a sort of authenticity.

Lets compare to books.

A 1st Edition copy of Lord of the Rings has value as a collector's item. Yes it's rare, but it's more than rare, it's the original of something highly celebrated to this day.

Now on the flip side, say Billy Tim's e-book did juuuust well enough and got just enough of a fan base that a limited print of paperbacks through Pocket Books or Penguin House or whatever was deemed profitable at the time? Be lucky if they appreciate in value AT ALL. shit, be lucky if they even maintain value. Odds are more likely they'll be found in the fuckin bargain rack at Half Price Books in 10-20 years.

Games arnt books so....

There are also plenty of ultra rare games that have no value. I don't think you're getting that rare =/= valuable

Just because Limited Run makes limited runs of physical games, it doesn't mean that it'll have resell value in like 10 years.

It means exactly that.

I want a backstory on piranha teeth....

Your mom will love them.

Jokes are literal now.

Proto_Spark posted...

But it won't have any resale value if nobody wants it.

You can find plenty of retro SNES games for dirt cheap because nobody cares about them either.

Theres tons of shit ultra rare expensive games. Go get a copy of cheetahmen.....

That ellie actors face is......something.

Proto_Spark posted...

I think it really depends how much you think a PS4 copy of Spidersaurs will actually be worth in 15 years? Will there really be a market for Switch copies of Ayo the Clown? There are plenty of retro games from the "retro" eras currently that nobody cares about.

If its a game you really enjoy, then you should definitely do it, but its also entirely possible most of these games will have effectively no value beyond you personally liking it.

Because no one wants "Spidersaurs" that means itll be that much rarer and expensive...

Solid_Sonic posted...

Are you doing that?

Well the entire retro market value is driven by rarity. And literally in the name "limited" run means theyre already rare to a degree...

Well?

Mega X and Y were awesome.

It must be like having any of it is so bad you might as well have it all?

I just say im completely vaxed and people believe me.

That was really stupid but also lucky so it balances out.

MarcyWarcy posted...

sounds boring

Its very fun constantly getting stronger but once youre the strongest the fun kind of fades.

You get a strong weapon to go kill stronger things for stronger weapons.....

Ill never stop loving Kefka.

Max level and get the best equipment. Get bored with all my op shit. Move on to next game.

Average.

I blahed

No cause this game is boring af.

Ok now this is just plain hilarious. I found a cultist, who owned slaves and was cheating a slave out of his freedom. He had some of his slaves in cages. I unlocked the cage with a slave in front of him, and the cultist instantly attacked me, fine that makes sense. But then the slave I freed picked up a sword and started attacking me too! What in the actual fuck, I was so shocked by this that I didn't even instantly kill him, I just stood there and thought is this really happening.

Also sidenote I googled this quest wondering if I can find an explanation for what just happened and it turns out this quest is related to Odessa way back in the beginning of the game, the woman I had join my crew. So I automatically complete the quest regardless and the choice to kill her is out of my hands. How was any player supposed to know she would factor in later? I may as well never recruit NPCs and add them to my crew since I lose them in the overworld forever. I can't even talk to her on the Adrestia or anything.

You can bang this rando that becomes a nobody after joining but also a random quest way down the road will auto end as well.....

So make magic quantities you equip to stats to increase them. Its just not fun. Its very easy though.

Youre attacking, watching a long ass summon or spamming limit breaks. This game wasnt fun....

No pyramid head mentions yet?

His first appearance is pretty scary...

ViewtifulJoe posted...

Do you mean like actually scary or the Oh shit get it away from me it's going to one-shot me and undo an hour of progress thing?
I can't think of any that're actually scary.

The giant doberman isnt explained and imo shocking when you first see it. The spider is also surprising. Maybe not legit scary but surprised you.

"Misery Business" is a better name than "Sloppy Seconds".

In a kings field game theres a giant spider on the ceiling of a small dark room. Hes actually not very hard especially with anything ranged but the first time seeing him shocked the hell out of me.

Giant doberman in Deadly premonition. Its the size of a car and has no rhyme or reason to existing.
