i'm having trouble tracking down some of the ones that JUST came out, but i've got everything else. it's hard to tell an exact number since i don't know what the 162 includes, and i count demos and stuff... so MY actual game count is 165 at the moment.

Just sign into the forums and go to THIS thread (http://www.monroeworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3898) I made for such an occassion. Put down as much info as you can (Name at the least) on a import game not present that you would like to have added or even a link to it at a retailer and I'll see about adding it to the database ASAP.
Most of the imports in the database are from requests as it is although I started because *I* had a couple imports myself. :D

Yeah, I know about it. I've actually added a game or two through that thread. It's just that I feel like a dick getting you to add a bunch of games that very few people have imported. I'm only somewhat anal about cataloguing my stuff so burdening you or Shane down with it when it isn't that big of a deal for me.

So they're retarded if they don't play them, but they're losers if they do. By all means, tell us what people with video games should do.

This from someone who is a member of a forum where people run around looking for the best deals ON video games some of which even go into buying certain titles in bulk at one store to trade in at another for an extra buck or two.
:roll:
I can assure you, every single game on MY list have been played and outside maybe two of them (Zoo Tycoon COUGH) were games I genuinely wanted and enjoy A LOT. My Nintendo DS is basically my main source of gaming which explains why my PS2 catalog is made up of about *8* titles and having games from all sorts of genres that I enjoy just broaden my gameplaying needs when I feel like playing a certain type of game at a certain time. Some I have because I know I'll want to play at some point and are my "Rainy Day" games (Phoenix Wright for example).

I think the point was that there is no point to having all those games in the first place.Well, I'd have to say that having a video game collection (since that's in fact what they are doing) is more interesting than having, say, a stamp collection or whatever the hell else people collect.
I think the point was that there is no point to having all those games in the first place.
Why not? Granted it seems to me there is a lot of fluff there and I agree some of those games deserve to be burned rather than played but hey...Maybe he got some good deals on those games. Either way, its his money and he obviously loves playing video games, even some crappy ones too, but who is anyone to say otherwise.
I personally only buy stuff I play, hell I could own 160 DS games if I wanted but I got taste in what titles I buy plus I'd rather save money for other GOOD titles. :bouncy: You do however get people that are hoarders and although I don't understand the point of it...Well...see above.
I could probably say the same thing about spending $1000 on a Beanie Baby.

I guess I agree but I probably come out on the side that collecting anything is kind of pointless... well, except for money. Some people obviously get some sort of intangible value from looking at things sitting on the shelf or just having the knowledge that a game can be played 10 years from now if he or she chooses. That's cool with me - to each their own - I just don't get it.

There is no point. But is there a point to anything else we do in life that's non essential?
Is there a point reading books or magazines? Watching TV shows or movies? Playing sports, going out? Is there a point to having any hobbies?
If the guy has the means to buy all DS games in existence, then more power to him. He does it because he can, and it's something to do, there is no point. If it makes him happy to have all that in his possession then good for him. I'm sure we all have other "hobbies" that in other people's eyes, they'd ask the same thing "what's the point?"
What's the point of all of us hanging out at CAG?

Its not a burden dude thats why I made the thread, if you weren't able to complete a list of games by using that database it wouldn't serve its purpose. Thats one of the reasons we have it.

what do i care if youve played all your games. but if sombody has spent the time to have played 162 ds games and the 95 games he listed in the 360 forum then yeah my statment applies, you should reevaluate your life.
and "whats the point of reading books" and whatever else that idiot jumbled together to get his 2 cents in. the point is enjoyment, but the same goes to someone who spends all their time trying to read every dungeons and dragons book.......you need to get a life. I play games to balance out the stressful parts of my life, i had a shitty day at work yesterday, so i came home grabbed a beer and played some halo with a some buddies for a couple hours.
anyhow, I think it was the OP's starting, i dont know how many of these look at how many amount of games i have for x system threads that sparked my post.

anyhow, I think it was the OP's starting, i dont know how many of these look at how many amount of games i have for x system threads that sparked my post.And who made you the ultimate fucking authority on what constitutes a life? You obviously failed to understand my rhetorical questions. No shit, everyone does these things because they enjoy it, why the fuck else would they do it? If it was done to impress others, then they probably have low self esteem issues.
But here you are, saying that if a huge D&D fan read every single novel there is, that person has no life? Or if a person's played 162 DS games, that person has no life? And I suppose your life is enlightening and meaningful because you drink beer and only play a few hours of Halo a night with your buddies?
My argument here is that you're imposing your concept of "life" onto everyone else's. Apparently, everyone of us need to fit into your mold, otherwise we don't have a life. We should all go home after a stressful day, drink beer, and play Halo. Because that's the perfect life that needs no re-evaluating.
Now if a person who's neglecting all his responsibilities because of all these games, then that's another story... that person would need to re-evaluate his life.

I will agree and disagree. What if he doesnt need to work? Why do you work? To buy things and pay for that beer? Or is it more of a hobby. And if it was not for financial gains someone would say why do it, get a life and go play golf, paintball, etc. Its all perspective

We have a winner!
And don't forget, having the collection in and of itself is not necessarily the hobby, but chasing down cheap deals is MOST DEFINITELY a hobby, and my primary one at that (of course it comes after work, family, etc, but it is a hobby nonetheless).
Me, I have, let me count... looks like 51, but I might have missed a few :D.
I pretty much keep every game I get, and never trade anything in once I beat it. I'm not going for a complete collection, though, so there are a few games I have gotten for $2 or so that I have traded in (Asphalt Urban GT, Ping Pals, etc). Plus I have kids so some of the games are for them - I would never have gotten the Spongebob one otherwise :lol:.
And, no, I haven't played nearly all of them, but when you hang out at CAG long enough you end up obtaining games you might not otherwise get (either because they were super cheap like $2 for Ridge Racer, or on recommendation like Phoenix Wright, neither of which I have played yet).

There's a few that interest me at the moment, but I don't feel like spending any more money on videogames for a month or 2, I've just went on a spending spree lately buying more than I normally do.

I think the point was that there is no point to having all those games in the first place.
I dont see what the problem is with collecting games. I both collect and play; will I ever beat all my games? No. Although I'm not a hardcore obsessive collector it is a hobby of mine and I enjoy it. If some people like it, whats the harm in that?
BTW, I have 17 DS games total.
EDIT: Now that I think of it, you're kinda right - why the hell would you want 162 games when the majority of those are trash? I dont buy shitty games for no reason.

Haha - I was waiting for that response, which is why I threw that in there. Though actually, it is true, I wouldn't have bought Phoenix Wright if it wasn't for the praise it gets here. I will play it eventually.
Of my 50+, I don't own many bottom feeders. But if I ever saw Ping Pals (or Elf Bowling or whatever that other one was) for $2 new and there wasn't a trade-in deal to exploit (like there is at EB right now) I'd probably pick it up just for the hell of it to add to the "collection". I wouldn't pay any more than that though. Hell, I even bought a sealed copy of Drake for 96 cents even though I don't have an Xbox. It has a special place at the bottom of the Metacritic rankings so I thought it would be cool to own :D.

10-07-2006, 02:39 AM
i really don't understand why collecting threads always turn into arguments.
i collect games. just DS games. i don't buy gamecube games, i don't buy xbox games, i don't buy GBA games... i've made a decision to focus on one system, so with the exception of a few odds and ends from before i started collecting, my 169 games is it.
i don't hurt anyone else by collecting games. it's not like every time i buy a new game, i go out and rape someone's daughter. i go to work, support my family. my money is spent on bills, games, gas, food, and furniture for my new house. that's it. i don't do anything else, and it's by choice. upon evalution, and re-evaluation, i'm happy with this life.
i don't even brag about my collection. i'm always happy to post in threads like these, just to show what is clearly an extreme end of the spectrum. but i have never, nor will i ever, start a thread about my massive collection, or any size of a collection. i'm not doing this to impress people, i'm doing it because it's fun to me. i don't drink. i don't have halo. this is what's fun for me.
do i buy a lot of games that suck? sure. is it pointless? not in the least. you can't have a truly 'complete' collection unless you have the ones that suck too. i don't regret buying a single game. and i've played them all, beaten probably most of them, and completed a fair share... even the bad ones. from phoenix wright to franklin the turtle... i've managed to find SOMETHING good in almost all the games.
now, having said all of that, what i don't understand is why anyone would try to come in here and actually spend time saying that my collection is pointless, or a waste of time and money... you don't have to understand collectors, but face it... we're out here. for everything you could imagine, there's somebody out there who has it in excess.
the only explanation that i can possibly imagine is that people who go dumping on the collectors are jealous. think about it. if a person just didn't 'get' the concept of collecting, they would likely be indifferent. "so that person has a lot of DS games... big deal. good for them, move on." however, a person that harbors enough anger to call collectors names, attack the quality of their life, and act immature about it... there has to be a reason.
certainly, that person could just be an asshole, and there's plenty of that here too. but i think that these people have something... financial status, parents, a wife, a girlfriend, peer pressure... something that is keeping them from being able to do the same kind of collecting. so, since others have what they can't, they use anger as a defense mechanism... "you have all the DS games? who cares? my life is better than yours."
but all of this talk... defense mechanisms, re-evaluating life, collector mentality, and self esteem issues... it's psycho-babble bullshit that i'm sure none of us are qualified to talk about. at the end of the day, it's about having fun. video games are about having fun. collecting is about having fun. drinking beer and playing halo is about having fun.
so shut up with the criticism and let people do what they want. none of us are in any place to judge others.
certainly, that person could just be an asshole, and there's plenty of that here too.
Now I just know you are talking crazy, 'cause no way THAT is true :rofl:.
Seriously, Doc, good post!

If someone wants to collect all the games for a system why does this offend anyone or cause them to lash out at the collector? It doesn't make sense to me. Anyways, I don't have a DS yet but am thinking of getting one. So I have zero DS games at the moment.

I have 15 DS games
I have eight games and I do want more games but everytime I look at my stack of games, I see squandered money. And then I think about a game I want in the future and how I desire it so. It's frustrating to want something and always either find some lucrative way to make money (EB trade-in or of the sort or some coupon) or to live without.

its blurry i know but those are my games from the last 365 days.... err well most of em from the last year. Those stacks are roughly ten feet high (the ceiling is right above them.

Counting the Metroid demo and Zelda GC trailer but NOT the dupes between the wife and I, I personally own 45 DS games.
I think my DS collection is one of the better-rounded of my console libraries -- crappy freebies and bad review titles (Puffy Amiyumi, Tenchu DS) notwithstanding. The system has a lot of great games.
And by the way, mad props to Doc Ramon for his expertly crafted post regarding the haters. He got his point across and defended himself without getting nasty. :applause:

Just got my cute, pink DS on Friday and picked up 4 games. I bought 2 the week before I had my DS, so my total collection is 6. I've played 4 cause I had a really busy weekend that didn't include any time for video games :cry:
Thanks to CAG my XBox collection went from about 15 to around 60 this spring and summer.
Xbox is my first console and DS is my first handheld I've ever owned, so maybe, at 41, I'm making up for lost time.
I try to buy games I will play, either that score really well or don't score so high but look interesting to play. Maybe 70% and above at GameRankings.com.
At 60 my Xbox collection seems a bit big for me to handle, but I figure there are maybe 10 more I want. And they will stop making them soon. So I'll have those 70 or so to play for a long time to come.
I'm looking forward to the fall and Xmas sales to add to my DS collection. It looks like a lot of great games are on the horizon.

I own 21 DS games. I'll be over at Best Buy tomorrow to pick up Clubhouse Games, which will be my 22nd game.
It's very rare for me to own so many games so early on in a console's life-cycle. The DS's promise for a new way to play games keeps keeps me buying new games - I just can't wait to see what each developer has done with the unique control scheme. The amazing thing about my 'collection' is that no 2 games are alike. It seems that each game is of a completely different genre, control scheme, or gameplay mechanic. Of course, since it's on the DS, it's also unlike any other game across my entire gaming collection. For me, that speaks loads about the DS as a gaming platform.

I want to sign up to that DS page you guys have been linking but they dont take hotmail, yahoo, or gmail :/ only ones i use
Out of the 35-40 games i own, ive beaten
Phoneix Wright
Trauma Center
New Super Mario Bros
Ouendan

Wario Ware
Sonic Rush
Castlevania
All of these games were definetely worth the time, and are locked into to my collection since my save files are on there lol.

Many DS games simply can't be "beaten," but here's my approximation for the 45 I own:
Animal Crossing
Big Brain Academy
Brain Age
Castlevania: Dawn/Sorrow
Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2
Metroid Prime Pinball
New Super Mario Bros.
Polarium
Tetris DS
Wario Ware: Touched

I have 22, and probably had more, but there was a point when I decided I wouldn't play those other games and would rather save up for the future.
Out of the 22, the ones I have finished (can you really finish tetris?) are:
New Super Mario Brox.
Phoenix Wright
Tetris DS
Mario Kart DS
Zoo Keeper
Feel the Magic
Rub Rabbits
I stopped playing my ds for a while now since my commute went from a 30 minute train ride to 15 minutes door to door.
Doc, congrats on the collection, that's pretty sweet. Reminds me of when that kid bjeong was trying to collect every single gamecube game made.

I have a short-list of DS games that I've always been interested in, but don't have enough interest to pay for... since we have some collectors in this thread, I'm wondering if anyone can offer some quick impressions of the following:
- Monkey Ball DS
- True Swing Golf
- Point Blank
- Pac n Roll
- Dig Dug
Most of these games received luke-warm reviews (and can usually be found for <$15), so I'm curious to hear some impressions from people who have played them.
I had my ds since mario kart came out
so far I only have 5 games :(

TRhat's almost as bad as having 160+ DS games for no reason.
cough....see the collecting games post on page 3....I collect games that I want to play. I also try to get them before ebay finds out they are rare and then you have to pay 2 or 3 times what they are really worth....
as for the DS games, I want to play them...but i want to finish my GBA ones....I do not want to go back and forth between the graphics
and if i could find more time between the playoffs (Lets Go Mets GO) and hanging out after work I might actually dent it.

Of the ones I played that you mention, you're not missing much. Monkey Ball's control gets annoying; Point Blank can only do so much without an actual gun; Pac'n Roll is good but forgettable -- as is Dig Dug. And this from someone who LOVES the old Dig Dug, adores Monkey Ball, and thinks Point Blank is the best gun-game series ever.

Sadly, I think that I'm going to sell off most of collection tho in anticipation of the next generation of gaming.
