Physical Releases - News & Discussion Corner |OT| Physical Games Are Dead, Long Live Physical Games

Two recent pickups. I stumbled across Farmagia and thought I would give it a try since Ys Nordics is a disappointment. It’s pretty fun! I appreciate how Xseed/Marvelous actually provide an audio CD instead of digital files.

Xenoblade Chronicles… I played about 80% of it on the Wii and never finished. The announcement of X coming to Switch made me finally pull the trigger on buying this edition. I’m crossing my fingers for some sort of Switch 2 “pro patch” to allow this game to run at a higher resolution.

I was at Gamestop earlier today, and while looking at PS5 games...I saw there's a physical of Dustborn. Fucking DUSTBORN??

I'm sorry, but there are so many beloved games that people who prefer physical games wish had a physical version, and yet Dustborn was worthy of a physical release??

Just one new arrival for today, already have the first release but it's nice to have it again with all the additional DLC on the cart. Still an incredible museum compilation, love that it has a bit of everything including prototype games. While i'm not the hugest fan of their home console releases of atari games, their arcade output was simply legendary.

On another note fangamer managed to grab the release of little kitty in the big city, been hoping this would get a physical. They are getting pretty good as they aready managed to grab world of horro & pizza tower.

My latest purchased games, I kind of had the urge to play the Battlefield campaigns again.
Batman is supposed to run unpatched at 60fps and I need to replay these games.
Sleeping Dogs is unavailable on Steam in it's uncut version in my country, so I bought the PEGI Definitive PS4 version.
Too bad the game is locked @30fps but it is certainly good for streaming to the Deck.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
After four years of living in my current house, I finally decided to get my gaming room in order. First shelf is done, it's my "retro" shelf. Yes, there are some Xbox One games here lol

I've spent the past day or so sorting out the rest of my collection - I found a few more retro games, and set up my second shelf as my "modern" shelf.

Retro shelf:
Some of this I can play right away with the Analog Pocket (handhelds) or PC emulation (disc based), the rest I would need to hook up the respective console.

Modern shelf:
Everything that can be played on systems I currently have hooked up.

That leaves my old Switch / PS4 shelf a bit empty. Now it just has a few odds and ends (and needs dusted lol):
Sega stuff, PSP games, PC disk games, and a few other little things here and there.

I just received my last order for this week. All the NA imports that were on their way have also arrived. Oh, and I snagged a couple of cheap Xbox One games and Age of Calamity from a local pawn shop.

I still have several games coming from PlayAsia, and I'll probably be grabbing some stuff from Amazon JP next week as well (a VN, a Vanillaware art book, and Slitterhead).

Nice, my copy of Jusant First Edition still didn't even ship and the Ballast Edition was delayed to next year ... my guess is they will ship both in one box to save on shipping cost.

Nevertheless this is what I got this week:

This looks very clean! Great job on the setup.

Are these media shelves specifically or regular bookshelves?
