What games are in your 'sealed' stack? [Mobile/Archive]

First, if there is a thread about the piles of games we've accumulated and never played, it's damned hard to find... so please excuse the double post if it exists.

As Cheap Ass Gamers, I'm sure many of us have piles and piles of unopened or unplayed games that we got at a great price, and just haven't had the time to dig into.

What games are in your stack?

Mine are under the cut:

I have so many it's hard to name. Here's a few though: All the Final Fantasies for GBA, Okami, Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions for PSP, Disgaea Afternoon of Darkness (PSP), DDR Universe, Flash Focus (DS), Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings (DS), Puzzle Quest (DS/PSP), and MANY others. This CAG way of life really means you buy a LOT more than you need, even if you're in fact saving money (in theory). It's really funny. Goozex doesn't help me either as I have WAY more games than I'll ever need and still getting more every day haha.

Ever since I bought a DVD and it was missing the second disc, I always open all of my games, movies etc. I would hate to have a sealed game for a long time only to find that when you open it, there is something wrong or missing with the game. There's also the fact that you may not even have the receipt anymore so then you're stuck with a dud.

Killer 7 GC is the only one sealed.

I have none that I haven't unwrapped.

Unplayed I have:

Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Forza 2
Orange Box (though I did beat Portal)

And that's it. I made a goal of not having a back log this generation (not buying games until I need a new one to play), and have done pretty well at it so far.

I've tried that... not buying new games until I finished the old ones, and it's helped quite a bit on 'new' titles, but i still can't pass up a deal. I've been waiting on Mass Effect, despite having a ton of gift cards in my pocket from old trades. That $8.96 CC sale last week didn't help anything.

If your not keeping a game for collecting reasons then you should open your games. For all you know there could be an AOL cd in those games or no disk at all. It has happened to me, and other CAGs here on the site.

Well for PS2 games, there is a distinct noise you can hear if you tap the side of a case with a game in it.

Other systems I don't know about.

I've been waiting on Mass Effect, despite having a ton of gift cards in my pocket from old trades. That $8.96 CC sale last week didn't help anything.

I don't have too much problem with passing up deals. I tend to buy most games I want to play somewhere around launch and just sell them off when I'm done with them. So it's not all that often that there's a must play in the $8.96 type sales for me that I haven't already played.

That or I'll just wait for them to hit $20, I'm too lazy to do much deal hunting.

Agreed. If you're not going to play your games, give them to me so I can play them.

Well the idea is to get them while they're cheap and enjoy them without worrying about rare games and such.

Truth be told, I hate having a backlog, and I've got about 25 sealed PS2/GBA games.

I intend to play every single game in my backlog eventually. Thankfully, this generation I only see a handful of games I really must play.

When I buy a game, I open it the second I get home and at least play it for a few mintues. I may not get back to it for a long time, but at least I played it for a bit.

Only one I have is Persona 3. I got it on clearance, figured it'd be one of a few chances to get it for $30, have no time for it yet. Might as well keep it sealed, if I ever really get sick of seeing it on the shelf and not having time, it'll be worth more.

tokitoki50

01-13-2008, 03:18 AM

I currently have Call of Juarez, Monster Maddness, Bladestorm: The Hundread Years War, and WarTech all for 360 still sealed. I just really haven't had time to play them yet between Blue Dragon, CoD4 and EDF:2017.

01-13-2008, 07:42 AM

Good lord, what games DON'T I have in my "sealed" stack? :rofl:

It has got to be at least 100. And this is after I had a "clearance" on eBay before Christmas to get rid of a lot of kids games for the Gamecube that I have bought over the last few years thanks to CAG, but which my kids have never shown any interest in. At least I made money on every one of them (sold 'em cheap compared to MSRP, but more than I paid), so that was good... I'd do it again with more of my own games but there isn't another Christmas for a while (to get those higher purchase prices ;)). At least I freed up enough space (which was more important than the money) to move most of the stacks of games in my office onto the closet shelf. ALMOST enough space...

When I buy a game, I open it the second I get home and at least play it for a few mintues. I may not get back to it for a long time, but at least I played it for a bit.

i did this for a while, but what happens is i would play through the tutorial, then come back to it several months later and have no idea what the controls are because im already past the tutorial. i decided to just wait until i had some time to devote to them.

i could write up a whole other list of games that i'm just on the second level of from doing this...

Well about 99% of the time I open a game as soon as I get it and play it for at least a little while. This Christmas I got so many games that I still have one that I didn't open and this is basically the only time it has ever happened, so here's my one game: Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles.

I mostly have less-well-reviewed 360 games that I got cheap (although I have Ape Escape 3 on PS2 sealed and no PS2 to play it on.)

360 games

Splinter Cell: Double Agent
Bionicle Heroes
World Chapionship Poker
Bullet Witch
Blitz the League
DDR Universe
Open Season
Farcry Predator

Just before the holidays I opened a bunch of games I was keeping sealed to take back to the UK with me to play there. Things like Stuntman Ignition, Stranglehold, Spiderman 3, Pimp My Ride, Tomb Raider Anniversary etc.

Hm. Had more sealed games than I realized. I didn't even know I had some of these! Some I just recently picked up. The collector in me bought crappy XBox games for cheap, but the gamer in me kept them sealed. I have a lot more that I opened and played once. Of the 225 or so xbox games I own, I'd be willing to bet that with at least 175 of them, I played once for less than ten minutes.

I'm pretty good about buying games I plan on playing right away, so I have no sealed copies.

The only exception is a sealed copy of Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete. I really wanted to play it, but I just didn't have the heart to unseal it since it was such a rarity.

I hope you picked up another copy to play!

I wish I had a sealed copy (though I have three unsealed copies of that game).

I actually picked up that copy in hopes I could exchange it for an open copy. I never had much success, so I finally caved in and bought a used copy. I'm holding on to it now in hopes for a copy of Eternal Blue...

I don't mind it though, I don't usually deal in crappy games so my sealed collection will mostly mature well, I think.

I think I have over 150 on my "to play " list. About half are sealed, half are used/opened. It's one of the things I promised myself to do before I die. - Give them all an equal chance since some of them are questionable quality titles.

Luckily as I get older, my tastes are changing a bit and there are less games that interest me, so eventually I will catch up and whittle my pile down to nothing. It also helps to be able to DL the demo and try them first before commiting to buy them like I use to.

I've opened most of my games, trying to reduce the clutter. I had a bunch of sealed games that I bought endlessly when I first joined CAG (they're too good to pass up), I sold the ones I didn't have time for.

But I do have a few I haven't touched in at least three months

ps1
Twisted Metal 1 and 2 (Have you seen what the graphics look like on these games!)
Wild 9 (never even played it when I got it this summer
Resident evil 1 and 2

Ps2

Psi-Ops (too far in and I don't have a memory card device that will transfer my save over to my ps3)
Sega Genesis Collection
DMC 1, stuck on the spider
DMC3 Too f-ing hard
