I have a lot of respect for those who keep and take care their physical collection...

hoarding plastic

special

anon I respect your choies but still you have kinda mid taste and should get rid of like at least half of that shit
somes games don't deserve to be on your shelf, and if you actually sold them you could buy real games like demon's souls and tales of xillia for ps3 for instance
also why no order?
you know what anon, I'll rate it 6/10 and it's a 6 just for the effort, do better

hoarding ((nothing))

special

this is how steamcucks look from the side and they lack awareness to understand that
also why is that it's ok to hoard paper (books that can be easily damaged) and plastic boxes containing CDs and movie blu rays but suddenly it's not ok if you have a video game there

I use my collection to take pictures for Anon Babble to ask why they don't just play good games like me.

sell me on dragon quest anon
I see people praising it often

I have hundreds of games in the back of my basement. I have a dedicated neet room with CRTs, all the old consoles etc.

No one but my close friends know about it but I love it.

post your most expensive games
these prices are in CAD

this is pretty old but i'm too lazy to figure it out manually.

it is only worth something if you have the entire game inside the disc.

Not a game but I have an A20 BVM and 6 other PVMs including a 20L5.

It's just a charming old school jarpig series, I recommend playing Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age, it was the best thing to come out of Square in ages and since honestly. dont pick JP voices since EN came first, is canon, and it's actually good EN VA. The game also asks if you want to enable certain modifiers to make things more "challenging", I recommend definitely enabling the stronger monsters one since it gives bosses new moves and AI. Warn you that it's pretty long, I think it took me 120 to 140 hours to 100% I dont remember, I also played it when it first came out so I don't anything about the updated S version.

I store mine on one of these things.

neat, i got a 20L2MD with BKM-129x, 1354Q, and 9042Q.

1354Q, and 9042Q

I have these too! They are great little sets!

Impossible to know, really. One of my Mega Drive or Sega CD games, I'd imagine. Ebay listings are often never going to sell due to the asking price being too high or are counterfeits.
I'm not going to sell them anyway.

the only physical games i have are project gotham racing 2, sonic unleashed wii and 360,lego star wars 2 pc, and battlefield 2 pc
i have alot of anime and cartoons on dvd but i dont really collect games cuz the ones i like are expensive so i just mod my old consoles and slap a bunch of game son it

ok I'm sold lol and it's 15 bucks
I should get the definitive edition to have all the gibs right?

Why the fuck would someone pay so much money for a crappy old tv?

I have plenty of old TVs.

console games

lmao

fpbp

PVMs aren't TVs.

Looks like a TV to me

I feel like it's not good to keep discs that close to that mini-split, but that could be paranoia. Pic related is my collection.

it was special when they meant something, nowadays you're just a schmuck, you can buy it digitally on the console itself, and then you can pirate the pc version and then you actually own the game

It is a monitor.

All of my roms are saved on a physical usb hard drive

it was a different grade of "tv" sorta like comparing consumer grade, commercial grade, and industrial grade.

sorta like how a commercial grade coffee machine can cost well over $300 for a seemingly basic bitch one and easily as much as $20,000 for a high end one.

These Resident Evil spines really rustle me.

Actually it is almost certainly Snatcher. I don't know what the Mega Drive games are actually worth, but it isn't that much.

my bitch ex wife forced me to sell all my games

Where is your Azumanga volume 3?

Yeah. At least more special than the bits your hoard on your PC and brag about.

Of course it's console games. You can't own PC games.

I have games going back to the PS2.era on my shelf

Yeah you can, but there's not that many from the era between MS DOS and Steam. Fairly certain my Morrowind, Oblivion and Neverwinter Nights would still work. GTA5 has like 5 discs, so I assume the single player game can be installed and played freely.

I coulda got a pvm some time ago for $120 but I passed. Thats just how it is sometimes.

You can't own PC games.

and it's still the shit version

The Last Guardian don't even work on PS5 without a patches.

There's nothing special about collecting PS4 or PS5 discs.

modern day shit

Inferior versions anyways.

Correct. Valve owns your games.

sure you can, you just pirate them. Its easy. And free. Its why pc gamers dont care either way.

Books became viewed as a status symbol due to copyright making their production more expensive. Books were display pieces and the general population was illiterate.
Using media as a display piece is a carryover from a shittier time, because copyright is shit and more recent media (like videogames), just doesn't have the same momentum behind it that books did, so displaying videogame disks on your shelves is roughly equivalent to purchasing blank books as display pieces.

so displaying videogame disks on your shelves

most of the time it's not for display really, most people are not building digital_toy_franchise#2349234 shrines all around their homes or buying 40 ikea shelves like hoarders do to fill them with shit they won't even play, aka just collecting for the sake of collecting something

the only rationale to every justify purchasing games on disc can be summarized with a handy greentext:

say word

game still on shelf

say word louder

game still on shelf

say word so loud you are literally screaming at the top of your lungs

game still on shelf like nothing happened

Piracy isn't ownership. Otherwise piracy would be theft.

he thinks he owns the licenses on GOG
