Topic: Have you purchased a game you know to be bad just to complete a collection?

Somebody call Smokey the Bear, teach this kid some proper fire safety-

NVM, here's some kerosene, kid, knock yourself out.

Thing I recall about Other M is that despite the bad reviews and resulting cheap prices on amazon (like $10), Target in the US was still asking full price for the game in 2015.

It's because the game was removed from their system, so it defaulted to full price. I asked once, because they had Muramasa for $40, and that's what they told me. (That was Walmart, but I'm pretty sure that's the store you were thinking of)

I've done this many times. Just bought RE5 and RE6 to complete the RE collection on PS4 alongside RE: Revelations 2, RE0, RE1 and RE4. Like Crimson I bought Amiibo Festival for the amiibo, I bought Sega 3D Classics Collection despite owning them all individually for the 1 bonus game. I buy both Pokemon's every single time, both Yokai Watch games releasing, I got the first Theatrhythm just cause I owned the 2nd despite the 2nd being everything the first was and more. Any game that releases on both Wii U/3DS I buy both, and sometimes even for PS4/Vita (not always, like Odin Sphere and Grand Kingdom I went Vita only but anything Final Fantasy, like FFX or World of FF is gonna be dual purchase).

I'm absolutely horrible for doing this kinda stuff. I bought the new MH Generations XL because I own the MH4U XL and couldn't display just the 1 knowing another exists. I may need intervention.

You should play it and form an opinion for yourself- there's just as many if not more people (including myself) that think the game is one of the best in the Wii catalog. I'd pay full price for that game and it would be worth every penny to me. Less that $5... it's almost criminal how good a deal you got! Seriously, play the game!

@JaxonH - Well, the first step to solving a problem is admitting you have one. Good luck with steps 2 through 96...God speed...

Also, until the Brexit, I'm pretty sure £3 was at least the quivelant of $5, if not more. But I dunno, do they have £5 bins like the $5 bins they got in Best Buys in America?

...do other parts of America still have $5 media bins at electronic stores? I'm starting to wonder if that's no longer universal. I've been to Massachusetts*, I've seen price of coffee over there. You really expect me to believe someone would charge less than that for a copy of "Carnival Games" or "Transmorphers: Fall of Man"? Coffee's mostly just water with coffee grounds and a little sugar in it (and maybe some half 'n' half if you're a WIMP), and they got a whole OCEAN just down the street (give or take about 100 miles). I don't think so, man. I'm not convinced.

*^{Yay, I spelled that right on the first try!}

@CanisWolfred
Pretty sure there's still bargain bins, but I haven't checked one in years. Usually toss all the clearance DVD's and games in it for prices varying from a couple bucks to $15, depending on item.

I do all my shopping online now but I can't imagine they got rid of the clearance bins.

edit
Not completely sure what the rest of your post was on about though... Coffee, wimps and not buying it? Idk.

Well, I meant specifically "$5 or less" bins, I always see those at FYE and Best Buy, and of course Gamestop...they never have anything good in them, but it's the principle of the matter...

Also, I apparently went to Boston at a really crappy time, it's actually cheaper to buy coffee over there now then than it is in New York. I guess I was right about the water. I was trying to talk about inflation, but I guess that would require leaving my apartment for more than 20 minutes at a time...I ain't doing that, nosiree...

Well even the "Dollar Store" you see here now charges $5 for everything. Should change the name to Family Five Dollar. Surprising though, I'm pretty sure there's still games for super cheap. Usually at GS its all PS3/360/Wii games that aren't selling (be it from lack of popularity or over production). Same for Walmart. I think BestBuy got rid of them though. Last few times I was there I didn't see anything of the sort. They seem to be stocking minimal games in store and even online too, you see games sell out in a month and never get restocked. Like Valkyria Chronicles Remastered (PS4)? 2 weeks of online stock and then gone forever.

...dont you even think about taking my plan and doing it for yerself...its patented...dont make me get my lawyer @the_shpydar
if there is anyone on this earth who is a greedy enough person to destroy the universe its got to be me.
it takes a real piece of crap to pull that off and i dont need anyone trying to boost up their crappiness, i worked hard for this.

^Yeah, I'm kinda surprised he's not here yet. You'd think he'd love the excuse to show off the progress he's made on his E.T. fortress. Unless that would mean admitting E.T. for the Atari is a terrible game...

@CanisWolfred
That's just it, buying piles of ET doesn't apply to this thread's topic!

@ogo79
You know i got your back. And since the destruction of the universe by Big (EFFING!) Rigs must be accomplished in the same way as nuclear missile launches — two people simultaneously turning their keys — let me know when you want to initiate destruction and i'll fire up my copy as well.

I was fortunate enough to live in New Hampshire for a short while and I lived in a house with a couple of guys who were really into sports. They were very kind and spent and great deal of time trying to explain the rules of their favourite american sports. We had their PS3 in the house so the day before leaving I went to GameStop and bought a copy of PES 20-something to leave in the house as a present.
Now PES on PS3 is a bad game, but it was the only soccer game I could find!!

More on topic, years ago I have bought Phantasy Star Version 2 for Dreamcast for €18,50 even though it's basically useless in this day and age. Just because I had the first one.

Not really with videogames but with music, I have bought many CDs I knew were crap just because I wanted to own the complete discography of this or that artist I like.

its time...its time...
