For the record, Tales of Destiny isn't really worth it. It's my second-least favourite Tales game (after Legendia...)

Yeah, Destiny is kind of disappointment. $30 feels like a bit too much for it. Not $100+. The only Tales game I think that would be worth that, if any game is, is Eternia or Destiny II depending on version.

If only Namco puts them on PSN. Destiny II (Eternia) is practically the most unattainable item in my town's retro game store, only Earthbound in its complete box beats it.

Tales of Destiny wouldn't be so bad if the random encounter rates weren't so stupid high. I can forgive some bad dungeon design but a battle every three steps in dungeons is too frustrating. I did like the talking swords though.
For a while you could get the European PSP version of Eternia for fairly cheap. Doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Paid $60 for my PS1 copy 4-5 years ago.
Nearly all the retro stores around me are dead. Most stores "rarity" displays consist of games like Final Fantasy VII and Super Mario Bros. 3. Games that sold millions of copies. Not sure if there are more collectors now or people just sell online. And for the most part all you cannot find much Sega stuff here. It's all Sony and Nintendo.

That's the same with the place I go to, just a small shelf per Sega console. Either there is no demand to stock additional titles or nobody wants to part with them.

I've seen like 5 Saturn games in the wild. A few stores have some Genesis games, and one has a whole display case full. Even Crusader of Centy for a while, but for like $150. Dreamcast games usually get a small display of their own. So in my neck of the woods, they aren't forgotten.

Demand is very low for Sega stuff now because Sega put so many of their major games on newer systems and had the Smash Packs coming out on PS2/PC/etc. for so many years, plus many of them were mass mass mass produced back in the day compared to stuff like PS1 Atlus RPGs or whatever. They're not forgotten but so many of the most popular and best Sega games are on other systems now that the allure of having something exclusive is gone for many collectors. In NYC at least though there's plenty of places where you can get ripped off an pay $30 for like Gain Ground or something though. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) The retro game stores in general aren't really going to have a lot of great stuff in them since most of it is the leftovers the owner failed to sell online. Most of them work by buying large lots of games and quickly flipping the good stuff from them online, then the rest is stocked in the store.

Most of them work by buying large lots of games and quickly flipping the good stuff from them online, then the rest is stocked in the store. Thankfully, the ones around here (South Central PA) will typically stock those items in their stores UNTIL the item is sold online (and of course, de-list it if someone buys it in person). Prices tend to be the same regardless. But if there's something I can immediately pick up within 45 minutes, then there's no reason to pay for shipping, IMO. I missed out on a copy of PSO for the GCN because someone bought it online the same day I decided to finally check their physical store, but such is life.

Bayonetta 2. I haven't played the first before so I'm starting with that one.

We originally created the General Game Chat Thread expecting that this kind of discussion would move over there so the other threads would get phased out and unclutter the first page of this subforum. That's not what happened, and instead the page got even more cluttered, so we're finally discontinuing these. Please use the official stickied General Game Chat Thread for this kind of talk from now on: hg101.proboards.com/thread/10256/general-game-chat-thread
