Video Game Pickups 11: Does Limited Run Games Suck Now?
I have 15 more game pickups for you. But, there's nothing from Limited Run Games because they apparently don't ship out items anymore.

I play many styles of guitar! But I did start with classical when I was 5.
I used to order from LRG, but after my last several orders took over a year to ship, standard editions, on their own to keep other items from holding them up. It's absurd. They sure keep offering new games and little feelies, but they don't ship within any sort of reasonable time frame. To make it worse, other companies so often get the rights as well, and I can get them faster elsewhere. I just get their stuff from Best Buy anymore if I really want it, but I try to avoid giving them any business anymore. I wouldn't say it's a personal vendetta or anything. They just do a lousy job, and most of the time the discs show up popped off of the spindle, flopping around in the case. It's just not good business. If they turn things around down the line and I hear they've made meaningful changes, I may give them a shot again, but otherwise, they've lost me.

I feel you, brother. I think they have grown too big to manage everything efficiently. If I were them, I would scale back production and focus on meaningful releases. But now that they are owned by Embracer Group, it's all about being profitable that quarter. It's a real shame

It took my order 18 months to get to me. I lost interest in buying their things now. Usually I favor physical but now digital can be compromised if it's cheaper. If I see the game in the wild, I might buy it there knowing it's right there and don't have to wait on an assumed date. I have better purchased from play Asia as it's 1 month to reach my hand.

Bro. Great video! I could watch you show off your collection all day long. Anyway. Everybody's Golf is The Best Golf game on the PS4! Such a good time! There are dlc courses you will want to pick up sooner rather than later. They are definitely worth it. Returnal on PS5 is a great pick up also, you will absolutely love it! A little jealous of that Andro Dunos saturn pick up bud! I did order Andro Dunos 2 physically for the 3ds and the Switch. But having that original game is just boss!

LRG will literally take months and months if you group-order certain titles. It's always better to pre order individual games. Still, you'd think them being acquired by Embracer group or whoever would up their funding, helping give customers what they pay for...

Your videos have really gotten me interested in trying out more Shmups in the last month. I got the Limited Run collector's edition Battle Garrega for a very good price on Ebay last week and now I'm on the fence about opening it. I won a bid that ended up being cheaper than a used copy for just the game. I bought it to play it. Should I open it?
@RNGGamerYT
Жыл бұрын
Haha... That's a question I ask myself every day. Look up the value of the game sealed, and then look up the value opened. If the difference in value between sealed and opened is more than buying the game digitally, keep the game sealed and buy a digital copy. If the value is less, open the game. The best case scenario would be to find an open copy, buy it, then sell your copy and use the profit to buy something else.
