I hope you all are prepared for this long video where I go over my entire physical video game collection! Let me know if you go through a similar reflecting process when it comes to curating your own physical game library.
Downsizing a collection can be intimidating, especially with all the fear of selling regret we have to battle with. While this particular annual re-evaluation wasn't as extreme as it could have been, I think it's always good to start small and continuously strive towards a collection we feel content with at a given time. We as gamers/collectors are constantly evolving & changing, and it's cool to see our collections reflect these changes.

Really appreciate this long form video since we really get to hear your thought process as you go through your collection. You've really opened my eyes in terms of considering how "complete" games are in my collection, especially ones that I played a while ago and may have since had several updates/rereleases. Thanks!

@nesh6575 Год назад

It's such a hard process to decide what to keep, FOMO comes in a lot and there's games you wouldn't typically buy but you don't want to miss out on the cheapest it'll ever be. I tossed some of my cardboard boxes when I moved, kept my Fire Emblem (and I hope Xenoblade, I have the collector's edition for all of them) but as you said in the video, it's hard to justify the shelf space for cardboard. Congrats on the PS5! I LOVED Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart on it, really great platformer. For FF7 Remake I highly recommend going with the PS5 version, the framerate isn't bad on PS4 but the image is much better plus a consistent 60 rather than inconsistent 30s-20s. Plus the Intergrade DLC is only on PS5, so if you do want to play that you need the PS5 version (and it comes with the DLC I think).

@oliviafrommars Год назад

Hi Emily! This video came at the perfect time! I'm now fully unpacked and comfortable in my new space, and I realized I should downsize my switch collection. I'm going to go through my games just like you did and hopefully free up some space for some new favorite games! I hope you have a lovely week! 😄

@ConvertedOptimist Год назад

Really interesting concept that I never really thought of. My collection is just growing bigger and bigger. The few times I sell games is when I don't see myself playing them and they're worth a bit. Then I can sell to get more expensive games that I'll really treasure. This gives me a bit to think about. Thanks and keep up the awesome work!

@orbalology Год назад

Glad to hear you found this video helpful! I like the idea of trimming out some of the bloat so that those funds can be used towards something that carries more meaning too :)

This longer video was such a pleasant surprise! I split it up over 2 nights and found it both very relaxing and informative. I literally bought the digital for Mercenaries Saga Chronicles the following morning as it was a great price and bc I needed a strat jrpg that was beginner friendly and simple as I’m new to them. Anyways tysm for taking the time to share, Emily; it was wonderful as always!

@davidhall2018 Год назад

What a great (and relevant) video! I've started looking through my collection and considering pruning some parts of it. I love your approach and will try to adapt it to my own needs. Thanks!

@Mike55690 Год назад

I always loved your topic ideas for your videos and the concepts within themselves were always so well done, nuanced and helpful! This video is definitely one of them and a superb watch Emily! A wonderful collection you have curated and cutting back where you can, to having - i guess a purpose to collect, not solely just to amass a huge collection for the sake of it is the way to go! Obviously people can collect how they want, but i digress lol, as always, stellar video Emily! The video was so enjoyable, it genuinely didn't feel like an hour at all! :)

@Kikoman589 Год назад

Really nice to watch this all the way through, and I think it'll be useful for me to think about as I collect more things. Thanks.

@JustTheGems Год назад

This does inspire me to go through a similar process of my own, but I've got that fear you mentioned at the end, where I'm going to regret selling something. That sort of regret was basically the impetus for me to start collecting in the first place, so it's a big hurdle to get over. Long-term, though, my goal is to have more of a curated library than just a MASSIVE PILE OF EVERY JRPG EVER, so I know I need to get started. Wish me luck!😅

@darnelgt9973 Год назад

That is quite the collection! Thank you for taking the time to share it with us along with your thought process on how you evaluate each and every game in your collection. I know all too well the struggle associated with tracking down select North American switch releases and the inflated price tags associated with them when they become scarce. Being a collector on a tight budget, I buy games regardless of their region to avoid paying more than I'm comfortable with. As my collection grew, my OCD kicked in after noticing how the games on my shelves didn't have a clean, seamless look, which inevitably led me to feelings of buyers remorse for not sticking to NA titles. So I searched online for a cost effective way to replace the cover art for all of my non-NA switch games instead of reselling them to repurchase those games in my preferred region. My search led me to a handful of shops on Etsy offering the service to custom print art covers for switch games for as little as $6, to as high as $12 (which is contingent on whether you want art on the inside of the cover as well). Since finding the shop I use on Etsy, I have replaced 32 covers (with another 5 on the way); now the collection on my shelves have a much cleaner, seamless look. All this to say that if you're looking to do the same at a fraction of the cost, this is a pretty neat way to do it 🙂

@rpgfan8650 Год назад

Great and inspiring content as always! ❤ I've always been thinking about re-evaluating my collection! But the hardest and probably the most important part is actually PLAY them. Most of the time I feel not motivated enough or just simply not sure which one to play from my HUGE backlog~ I think I need to develop an organised plan or schedule to play more games but on the other hand part of me is warning myself that kind of play style might take the fun out of enjoying a game... So I'm really interested in how you organise your time to play more games while still get most fun out of them without feel like doing homework~

@DavidRBrown7 Год назад

You have a fantastic collection! Its very conscientious of you to go through everything. Its not something I do for my various collections but I must admit having a large house helps with not doing that. I have a whole library room full of books, DVDs and games (my 4000 CDs are spread through the whole house). My library even survived my recently importing my mother's collection of hard-back novels from Australia to the UK on a huge new book case (around 100 more books). But I might have to rethink soon... or buy a bigger house.

@Swedishgamefreak Год назад

Great video! This is something that I need to do too as I keep buying games that I just don't play or have played but did not like. I have seen a bunch of your videos and I like your style. You have a calm voice that makes it easy to watch your videos. You got yourself a new subscriber! :)

@ZeroFksGvn Год назад

I really like the process you do to evaluate your collection, I really need to implement this or a similar process to purge mine. Having all generations of Nintendo and PlayStation have been bothersome with the volume especially with how huge ps4 and switch is. So I’ll probably be doing something about it in the near future to free up some space. Great video!

@heartnintendo Год назад

Great video! Thanks for sharing your collection and thinking with us. I have a lot of the same games as you on the DS, 3DS, and switch, and it’s great to hear about games you’ve got and enjoyed. I do something similar to you where I’ll remove the games I’m thinking of getting rid of from the shelf, and after some time has passed and I haven’t missed them, then I’m ok with selling them. And if there’s ones I want to upgrade I’ll wait for a sale or other promotion (or reprint) to buy the upgraded copy.

@orbalology Год назад

Thank you! Glad to hear you implement something similar to help re-focus your collection too :)

@matthewhocker956 Год назад

I’m currently going through this with my Wii, Wii U, DS, 3DS and PSP collections. It’s definitely a lot easier to acquire games that it is to get rid of them, but so far I’ve weeded out over 200 titles that I don’t really see any point in keeping. I have trouble letting go stuff from my favorite genres too. I haven’t even breached my Switch games yet, but I recently organized everything by genre to help me get a better handle on what I have and what could potentially be weeded out. I enjoyed watching your video. Speaking from personal experience, Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom was one of my first Switch games and is one of my favorites. It had such gorgeous artwork, an amazing soundtrack, and solid gameplay. I upgraded to the collectors edition and gave the other copy to my friend. Monster Boy as I understand it is a spiritual successor to the Wonderboy games. Since you mentioned being on the fence, I would suggest giving Monster Boy a go first. That way, if you really like it you will have a more solid foundation in exploring its roots in those earlier games. I bought them all to play - the remaster of Dragon’s Trap is beautiful and you can switch between pixel art and hand drawn artwork on the fly (same with original and arranged OSTs). The mechanics are the same regardless and the only issue might be that it might feel a bit dated. Don’t want to twist your arm one way or another but if you really like Monster Boy, it might inspire you to delve through the others!

@WP-04 Год назад

Another great video, I really need to re-evaluate my collection too. I've got sooo many games due to fomo but once I have it they just sit on my shelf until I find the time to play!

@justinu1182 Год назад

I really appreciate the amount of effort that clearly went into this video! Great stuff as always! Really enjoyed hearing your thought process to curation. I feel like I’m getting a lot of collection bloat from the part of my collection that’s devoted to videogame console history and curiosities 😂 when I get an unusual old console, I always get one game so that I can test and demo the hardware, but then any time I’m at a show or con I’ll buy more just because it’s rare to have the opportunity to buy them. Fast forward and I suddenly have 20 games for an obscure console from the early 90s that I’m never going to play other than flipping it on to show to people occasionally. 😂 those probably needs to be the first things to prune.

@orbalology Год назад

Thank you, I greatly appreciate it :) Haha, the console history/curiosities sounds like an interesting side collection! One that you may want to consider trimming if it's become larger than you first envisioned, but cool to have some of those things nevertheless.

@justinu1182 Год назад

@@orbalology Funnily enough, I've always been really enthusiastic about gaming history, particularly handhelds, so "videogaming through the ages" was actually the main collection rather than a subcollection. It was actually the "my nostalgia games" and "games I've loved recently" collections that were the subcollection until recently when they overtook the historical stuff in volume😅

@BespokeSlipp Год назад

There are so many games here I would likely never have come across otherwise - thanks for going through each one! Also, I need to pick up the PS2 version of SSX Tricky, that game defined so much of my childhood. Companies need to produce more shiny/reflective covers 😊

@Zaxtur Год назад

I enjoy listening to you talk about your game library! I had an idea for another style of video you could make: Tier lists. Maybe you could take a series or a genre with a lot of entries you're familiar with and rate them. It could be an opportunity to talk about what you like or dislike about each one and compare them. Stuff like that. Just an idea. I know I would watch :)

@paulpiusink6917 Год назад

Great video and it really makes me reconsider my own collection priorities. If you ever get around to it, I can really recommend you give Wonderboy: the Dragon’s Trap a try. I’m pretty biased as I grew up with this series, but it has so much character, great artwork and music and it’s not a particularly long game.

@MrRPGcrazy Год назад

I do this process myself 1-2 times a year. But I also decide after I beat a game if it should go back to the shelf or the selling pile. I am a Nintendo and Playstation collector and have games that starts on the Snes to current gen and I have only around 350 games. I really like your setup, Its clean,organized and have a purpose. Like my own.

Excellent video, Emily! I really like the idea of taking everything off the shelf and evaluating each game one by one. I've been thinking about downsizing my game collection a bit so I might need to do this exercise soon as well. I'd definitely recommend completing the Lord of the Rings set on PS2, you can't go wrong with Two Towers and Return of the King (Third Age is also a pretty great turn-based RPG)! :)

@orbalology Год назад

@millasgameroom Год назад

Great video! Watched all the way to the end and I've been thinking about applying this more to my own collecting (which i'm already good at, but will need to downsize again at some point). Also regarding Norn9, it's Switch rerelease has an improved translation. That's the version to play as the Vita TL was heavily criticised back in the day.

I'm loving that PS2 collection!! I know it's built on a lot of nostalgia, but that copy of SSX Tricky came out of nowhere lol But honestly, I'm sure we all have at least one game in all our collection people would wonder where that came from. Mainline Monster Hunter games can be very difficult to get into. I tried 3 on the Wii and World on the PS4, before getting to Rise and absolutely falling in love with it. If you do plan on giving in another shot would recommend checking out some guides and tutorial vids. Just picking the right starting weapon can make all the difference honestly.

@kianlin3260 Год назад

It's interesting, but hard for me to do so. Even if I have a great time in one game, it's not that I ever replay my finished games. So, I don't really understand how I'm going to evaluate my collection, but I do enjoy collecting games 😅 Thank you for sharing your thought, Emily 😊

@two-nichegaming4482 Год назад

Wow, that's quite a little collection you got there. It's easy for a backlog to accumulate when you know what kind of games you like, but it really isn't fair when it comes to collectors editions. I personally don't buy a new game until I beat the last one I bought, so the fomo for desired collectors editions is very real for me. I'm glad your channel explores alternative game memorabilia options opposed to the traditional collector editions and Funko Pop figurines. Also, has that new Zelda 1TB MicroSD card caught your eye yet? lol

Great video I'm also in the middle of getting rid of things /trading in/donating some games and duplicates. It's great to see how someone else does it. With Uncharted 4 you can pay $10 and get the upgrade to the Legacy Collection on PS5. You just need the disc inserted. I think that's a good way to 29:19 play them. That's what I did. With Yakuza LAD you can just get the PS5 upgrade with your PS4 disc, just a suggestion.

@dwade03marion07 Год назад

Finally just got done watching the whole video! Very extensive, exhaustive, and extended look at your collection hehe! Love it! I just have a couple of things I wanted to say: 1. In my opinion, I don't think you should get rid of games (like Tales of the Abyss) if they do get an upgrade/enhanced version. I think the first/older versions of the games have their unique charm and quality that might not be there on the newer versions of the game. And honestly, given the state of gaming nowadays, there's always a chance that the new version might be not be as good or even worse than the original lol. 2. If you are gonna replace a game (like PS4 to PS5), I do have a question, are you gonna be able to play them? Because, I noticed, a good chunk of the games that you said you were gonna do this thing, you haven't even had played them yet. I think, (and this will relate to my 3rd point as well) you should try playing those games, and see if these are games that you can sink your teeth into, and it will be worth continuing the experience on the newer hardware. 3. You had a decent amount of games that you were clearly on the fence on whether to keep or to sell. I would suggest, and this could be a series of videos you can do moving forward, is to try out said games, see what they really are, and, ultimately, make the decision from there. I think, it's good to have that knowledge of having a greater idea of what the game is, and you can make a better choice on what to do with it. Keep up the great work as always, Emily! :D

@unattain4773 Год назад

I do a similar exercise as you do with curating a collection. The core difference is I try to determine if a game is worth buying way before purchasing. This way I don't have buyers remorse or waste any time on a title that will not be considered a classic some day. Quality over Quantity mindset.

@elisac6146 Год назад

You will love Cris Tales, even on switch I didn’t notice major issues. Maybe because I am never in a rush to finish a game.

@QuietSP Год назад

I don't really have too many games comparitively, but this sounds like a good idea since I have a few games I know I'll never play considering I have the PS4 version of Overwatch. Though there are a few childhood games that I haven't had for a long while. I was stupid as a kid, so a lot of my childhood games ended up going to GameStop, such as all of my NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, and Gameboy games. Unfortunately I have no clue if I'll ever see my childhood copies of the three Kingdom Hearts PS2 games as they were borrowed many years ago, and show no signs of being returned. I'll definitely be trying this out, and the bit at the end about the regret of selling games and those belonging in your collection was fairly reassuring.

@Lemonade_Stand_ Год назад

Nice video! Whenever i play a game that i dont vibe with i add it to a pile of things to sell/trade. I also find myself favouring switch over ps4, even if the ps4 version performs better so i have a couple ps4 games in my "sell pile" that were released on switch after. My dilemna is when games such as trails of cold steel release the first 2 on ps4 and the last 2 on switch because ideally i would like the entire series on the same console. Anyway i currently have a stack of ps4 and switch games that i will probably list on poshmark at some point.

@90shandheldgamer Год назад

It's refreshing to hear a game collector talk about downsizing and getting rid of some games. It seems like most collectors on RU-vid just talk about having the biggest number of games possible and I'm not downing people who do that ( I have a large collection myself) but, it's cool to hear a topic that isn't represented or talked about much.

@YukeWeiss Год назад

I can remember a few years ago I really streamlined my PS2 collection and some of the games that I let go at the time were big heavy hitters (Suikoden IV is probably one of the bigger ones) but I also recall that I played and did not like it. The Ty Tasmanian Tiger Trilogy was another one that I let go for very cheap but ultimately I had never really played them and had had them in my collection for years. In some instances, I think if I own a game for 10 years and don't play it, it's time for it to go. I have kind of winced at the price I let them go for now, but I don't regret because I never played them and honestly struggle to remember some of the games I really did get rid of.

@EnzeroX666 11 месяцев назад

Didn't see any PS3 games your really missing out on Tales of Xillia 1 & 2, Tales of Grace, along with lots of Atelier games, Eternal Sonata, Resonance of Fate, Time & Eternity, Star Ocean The Last Hope. There are also a lot of other great games. Always find your videos very informative.

Awesome Video Emily. I noticed you mentioned Wonder Boy 3 The Dragon's trap remake. That's an excellent game. They added 3 difficulty modes to it. You don't have to get up to pause on the Sega Master system to go use or equip your items. The most important thing in this that they did compared to the original is that you don't need charm stones anymore to buy certain armor, shields & swords. They made the process of farming your money a whole lot better that you don't lose what you gained should you game over or turn off your system. Also I would recommend if you have this game to play Alex Kidd in Miracle World remake.

Cool, I heard of the Alex Kidd remake but I'll look more into it.

While I have not downsized my collection, I have definitely cut back on the number of games I've been getting over the past 2 years. When I started game collecting, I was cycling through 5 local game stores, ordering stuff on different websites, and getting into ebay auctions basically every week. Now at most I pick up 2-3 games every other month. I've done the same thing when it comes for genres I'm most interested in, I primarily collect JRPGS, visual novels and rhythm games plus Nintendo first party exclusives I care about, and a small handful of greatest hits in genres that I tend to play less but still enjoy on each platform. At some point, I get to the point where I feel like that collection is "complete", a good sampling of the types of games and franchises I enjoy on a given platform and more or less stop collecting for it. This usually doesn't happen until after the console is no longer in production and releasing games so at this point I'm really just focusing on the Switch. Also, glad to see the entire collection, happy game hunting!

That's an awesome collection you have there. Star Ocean the Divine Force and Tales of Arise are worth adding to the PS5 section. Both are much cheaper now.

@orbalology Год назад

Yes! I'm waiting for them to go around $20 before snatching them up now that I have a PS5 on the way :)

You have an amazing collection Emily

Thank you! I'm pretty pleased with what it's shaped into these last few years :)

A few years ago i decided to only keep games that i have beaten or intend te beat. If i try one and don't like it i put it off for a while and then give it another shot. Then i'll either keep it to beat or sell it. That really helped me to focus on the games i actually like instead of games i'll never play that will just take space. And now i actually have space for figures and various collectors edition stuff.

That's a good way to go about it! I've been trying to implement something similar but I've been rather slow at getting through my games recently 😅

Shelves look great! My house in tears of the kingdom has some great swords and shields but it needs a video game collection shelf tbh

@orbalology Год назад

A video game shelf in TotK would be awesome 😂

@alessandrohenriques8419 Год назад

Awesome collections Emily! The only Nintendo type I have is the 3DS. :)

@orbalology Год назад

The 3DS is a great console, and one of my favorites :)

@svenvaltik5657 Год назад

I bought the 3DS for an international trip on a whim and was blown away at that library... You picked a good one.

@RestorationRelaxation Год назад

Finding the complete Spyro version was really tough. Basically had to hope eBay sellers had clear pictures of the disc so you could get the right one

@orbalology Год назад

Ah yeah, I have a feeling it'll be difficult but something I should start my search for 😂

Love all the jrpgs! Also shoutout to one piece! Great video!

@benmcmanus4154 Год назад

The PSP edition of Final Fantasy 3 is quite nice. It takes the DS version (which was the original 3D Remake, and also quite nice) and pretties up the graphics quite well. It also gives the option to swap between the arranged and the new ost.

I can’t downsize lol but that’s awesome if you can ❤ great video

@markasscop Год назад

my main criteria on what games to let go or not is if I ever have intention of replaying it in the future, even if I realistically can't replay all the games I like, if I feel that I want to revisit it at some point then I'm keeping it I do have some outliers where I enjoyed the game but probably won't replay it anytime soon, but those are only a handful of games

@orbalology Год назад

It's a good way to center your collection! :)

@markasscop Год назад

@@orbalology totally, it helps keep things more minimal so that I know what I have is what I want to have

@calex9398 Год назад

@bobbymoss6160 Год назад

Wow Emily, that's quite the library. I see you got a number of mobile consoles. Just be sure to take the battery out if you don't plan on playing it for a while, so you don't risk it leaking and damage your console. Love your library!

@orbalology Год назад

Thank you! And I try to do that especially for the ones you can remove the battery easily. :)

I just did this over the weekend. I went through every game I had and asked myself two questions: Will I ever play this? Does this hold any sort of sentimental value? If the answer to both is no, then I pulled it from the collection. I've wanted to shrink down what I have for some time now, as I've gotten older, I just don't have the time to play as much as I do. I end up buying so many games and never playing them because of it.

I also got a PS5 this month as well. Mainly just to play FF XVI. However it's nice playing FF VII Remake again with better quality and frame rate on PS5. I'm also interested in playing Octopath Traveler 2 on PS5 but I haven't transferred my save file from my PS4 over to PS5 yet. Nice collection of games BTW. I also like you mainly play just JRPG'S. I know you play visual novels as well but I could never get into those type of games I tried but just isn't for me.
