When I buy games I usually open them, but for the last couple of months i've been buying games and not been opening them. I have about 8 of them that aren't open and I'm sure i'm not the only gamer here that buys more than he can chew. How many ppl here do the same shit and should I open them just for the hell of it even tho i may not get to play them now?
none, but i dont play em, so i guess thats just as good. I'd say 4, xgra, double dash, ssx3 and PoP. Too busy replaying FF7 and 8. :D
I have Billy Hatcher, Xenogears, Suikoden 3, and Unlimited Saga. There more for collecting bullshit crap than actual play. Viewtiful Joe stayed unopened for a long time too.
about 7 games. might be forgetting one though.
Mars Matrix
Strider 2
Impossible Crisis
Front Mission 3
One Piece Mansion
Mark of Kri
Gungriffon Blaze
I can't sit by while any of my games go un-played, no matter what the game is like. Hell, I usually end up opening the game on the way back home to read the manual while I walk down the street. :chick:
A japanese copy of Airforce Delta on the DC. That's my only one, and I got it for free a few years back. I've tried selling it to no avail.
I have quite a few that are second copies of games I already own. I picked up a second copy of Front Mission 3 for $10 and keep it that way, in hopes that it will become valuable in the future. The same with second copies of Record of Lodoss Wars, Jet Grind Radio, Super Magnetic Neo, Bangai-o and Space Channel 5 ($.99) for the Dreamcast.
The rest of my sealed games, are those that I have'nt got around to playing. Most of those are on the Playstation.
Star Tropics, Tetris Attack, that N64 Pokemon puzzle game, Bangai-O, Faxanadu, and The Guardian Legend.
I'm somewhat convinced that those last two were resealed, so I'm expecting blocks of wood with "FAXANADU" and "GUARDIAN LEGEND" written on them to fall out once they're opened.
I also forgot i have viewtiful joe unopened, i need to open and play that one
I have final fantasy tactics and legend of dragoon, which have been sitting like this for about a year now. :sweat:
I have a few games I have not played (esp. RPGs), but I never ever leave a game unopened. I always test them right away, even if I do not plan on getting into them at that point. What if it has a defect or problem? If it does at least I can use my receipt and exchange it. If you wait you're screwed so for me there is no reason to take that chance.
None. I play my games. :p
Reminds me FF8 is still not opened. :\

As you can see, I gave up living a normal life long, long ago.
Just Sword of Mana. I used to have a few more, but I opened them yesterday, because opening games is fun. I still have a lot of PS2 RPGs that I haven't touched yet, though :( Oh, and I still have a sealed Monkey Island 4 jewel case version, need to play that bastard someday...
This has been an increasingly bad problem for me over the past year. Went through a stretch earlier this year where I played virtually no games at all, then abruptly snapped out of it and started buying up stuff left and right (mostly cheap, clearance things). As a result, I'm backlogged as all hell. Should probably look into trimming my collection a bit :(
Chaos Legion
Disgaea
Silent Hill 2
Blinx
Um... that's all I can think of for right now. Then there's games i've opened, or have gotten used, that I've never played at all. I don't want to list em all, but I got at least 50 DC games I don't even think i've played.
Then there are the games I've opened, played for an hour, and never touched em since.
Mario Tennis (N64)
Perfect Dark (N64)
Super Mario 64 (N64)
Yoshi's Island (SNES)
These were bought last summer while I was in the process of moving home, and the only reason they haven't been played yet is because I still haven't unpacked my N64 and SNES.
I've also bought Project Zero (Xbox) and Gregory Horrow Show (PS2) in the last month, but I want to finish Mario & Luigi before sinking my teeth in either. Superstar Saga deserves all my attention. :nod:
I had wondered about this kinda shit myself but I personally buy games to play em, not leave them unopened.
I can understand the want and desire to collect videogames to a point but for me it's just buy em to play em and that's it.
Just one: Magic Knight Rayearth for US Saturn. I really need to play that one soon.
Compass, the power of Christ compells you to play those games. I have none unopened, barring future Christmas gifts.
I buy games to play them, but recently I've been stuck on neverending ones like Crimson Skies online and CVS2 online, so my stack gets bigger and bigger.
Only one, Panzer Dragoon Saga :)
Too many, some of which I just haven't gotten to yet, some game that I bought at a really good price to hold onto and others that are just part of a collection like my "Greatest Hits" versions of Final Fantasy games ;)
I went through an "Ah-what-the-fuck-it-isn't-like-I'm-going-to-sell-it-anyway" phase a while back, and opened up most of my sealed games. Buy em' to play em', not to sit on a shelf - that's a waste of time and money.Quote:

O_o
A quick count yielded 60, and reminded me that I really should sell pieces of crap like Timestalkers and Alundra 2.
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Xenosaga
Final Fantasy X2 (Playing FFX now before I move onto X2)
Kingdom Hearts
Don't believe the 2D love-children; Alundra 2 is better than the first. Open it and be surprised.Quote:

It's just that when you're already in the middle of like fifty games you tend to want to try to finish a few before embarking on new ones (if for no other reason than a lack of memory card space). This problem grows when you have a full time job (i.e. very little free time) and are interested in many types of games across several genres as well as older titles you missed out on the first time around for whatever reason.
I use to have a lot more unopened games. Currently it's Last Blade 2 (DC), Legend of Dragoon, VF4: Evo (2nd Copy), and Mark of Kri. There are games that I have opened but haven't even played yet (looks at Xenosaga). I didn't open/play my copy of Shenmue 2 (DC) until 6 months after I bought it... :\
Only Mars Matrix and Crazy Taxi for DC. I already have opened copies, and had bought 'em for a friend for Xmas, but he had gotten them already.
I wouldn't be surprised if MM is worth a good bit in a few years. Great shooter + low print run + came out while DC was in it's death throes = pretty good chance of payoff down the line.
But for the most part, even if it's a game I don't plan on getting to for a bit, I'll open it and put in a few minutes, just in case it holds my attention even more than what's currently on my plate.
I always open all my games and DVDs, but I have many I have opened and never played.
Same here. I have opened but not played (0-2 hrs) FFX-2, SC5 SE, and Zelda Collection. I'll probably get around to FFX-2 a week from now. I bought the other 2 to collect and because they were cheap. I've already played them on different systems.Quote:

Off the top of my head, I know for sure that I have Klonoa 2 and Soul Reaver 2 for PS2 unopened, and innumerable PS1 rpgs. There are also quite a few DC games I picked up when stores were dumping their stock. When you're a full time student and work full time the backlog starts to pile up.
I used to have a lot more, but recently I was in the christmas spirit of tearing open stuff for no reason.
XBOX
Otogi
Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
Gladius
Gamecube
Metroid Prime
Zelda OoT Disc
PS
Final Fantasy 7
it only get's worse |-)Quote:

Luigi's Mansion,

These other ones are gifts to someone or other:
Gunvalkerie, and 2 copies of Space Channel 5 Special Edition
PS2=15
X-Box=2
GameCube=3
Dreamcast=34
Playstation=4
GameBoy Color/Advance=6
It's not that I'm into keeping games sealed, I just haven't found the time to play any of these yet.
While not really on topic, I want to disagree with this statement as much as possible. Alundra 1 is a far, far better game than it's sequel (Alundra 2: Starring Not Alundra!). 3D or not, this was not half as good as what Alundra 1 offered.Quote:

Well, I heard a million such opinions before starting Alundra 2 so I was expecting the worst. What I got was an enjoyable adventure with a nice bit of challenge and some genuinely funny voice acting. Alundra 2 used colors other than brown too which helped it in my book.Quote:

I went into Alundra with high hopes and into Alundra 2 with low hopes. This prolly contributed. Regardless, I had a lot more fun with the sequel and that's what counts (to me).
None. That's mostly because I almost never buy new games, but also because half the fun of getting a new game is opening it up and looking at the manual, disk, etc.
Oh wait, I do have a couple sealed copies of PSX Zanac, but I just picked them up 'cause they were cheap and I plan on selling them.
Sol Feace, it was cheap and I can't play it. Dodonpachi Dai-ou-jou, got a free copy, best game ever so I want to have a sealed copy to look at.
like Bonus i buy games to play them
all though i did pick up Super Mario Bros 3 NES, and 2 Contras NES Sealed when we got some traded in
i allready own the games but for some reason it felt cool to buy unopened NES games again
I only have one I think, like... hmm Super Castlevania. I have a copy of Metal Slug 3 AES (for sale, ahem) that I never played, but it was never shrinkwrapped so... I dunno if that counts.
How about your Rakugaki Showtime?
What about it hmmm?
Mine's still unopened... until I find a way to play it.
You'd think I'd have a way to play import PS games, but NOOOO.
I have a sealed copy of Soul Calibur (DC). I bought it to give to my nephew when he was going to buy a Dreamcast, but he ended up getting a PS2 instead.
Well should I open my unopen games. I have 9
Rachet and Clank
Rachet and Clank Gone Commando
Tekken 4
Viewtiful Joe
Jak 2
Kingdom Hearts
Last Blade 2
Manhunt
Onimusha 2
and many more that are opened that i've not played yet
Exactly what I thought.Quote:

I open them all usually, i think I have a few DC imports I never opened but I haven't played a shitload of the ones I opened or just a few minutes of it before finishing what I was playing at the time.
Some people have so many unopened games! Wow, why do you buy a game when you haven't opened one up already? That seems so foreign to me.
Do it, if only for the opening theme and the stickers included.Quote:

So when Sony's website was selling Lunar 2 for $20 a pop, I might buy multiples to use for trading purposes later. Or when local Target stores had insanse deals on $5-10 PSX games I'd buy a few. Also I might buy for systems I've yet to own like cheap new Sega CD stuff. I have stopped doing this for a few reasons, and hope to play them sometime, if not then I will sell them or trade them, and if I do that the games are worth more unopened.
One good reason is to get 'em before they become more expensive.Quote:
