This could have been your collection if you didn't go digital user. Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

This could have been your collection if you didn't go digital user. Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

Seems like a giant waste of space for games I'll never play again.

literally shit taste

also fuck collector's edition for disrupting the symmetry of shelved collections

Wow, that's a lot of future landfill you've got there.

Pussy slayer detected.

I would be fucking embarrassed to have a collection like that. There is more to life than being a man-baby and playing video games.

No sense of design, just random manchild crap in random places. Huge wood shelves that don't really fit what he's showing so there's huge gaps. Useless collector's edition boxes literally spilling off the sides of his shelf. Unopened toy boxes on the wall like some kind of run down comic book shop. 0/10, never scored.

>implying cheap pieces of paper and plastic would make any difference
Is literary garbage, when you die somebody will have a lot of work to throw in the trash because they don't want to be embarrassed trying to sell this shit.

OP here, keep it physical vs digital also that's not my collection, but I do like collections.

I've been buying more digital recently because it's just too damn convenient.

Don't have to shop around, don't have to deal with stores being out of stock and I don't have to wait around for some faggot postal worker to deliver my game at 8PM on release date.
I can just download it at midnight when the game comes out.

I do like having a physical collection, but fuck it I'm too lazy

No because i saved so much more money going digital for sales and half prices and also occasional pirating. This meant less work and more time to enjoy my hobbies and not letting them gather dust because I'm too tired after slave waging.

you are a troubled individual, sir.

collection pictures always remind me of chris chan. his room is, of course, pretty creepy, but it seems odd to me that hoarding old computer games is acceptable in the context of someone who otherwise seems normal.

it just seems odd to me that people get satisfaction from surrounding themselves which plastic crap. it's like some infantile hugbox. if i had my old PS1 games i'd probably never go back to play them, and if i found myself playing them enough to warrant keeping them around, i'd probably get really depressed that i'm doing the same thing as i did when i was a kid

what i'm trying to say is that every 'battlestation' surrounded with anime figures, fun co pops or childhood games is basically on the same level as chris chan. to me anyway

I literally just threw up in my mouth. This isn't real, right?

>bring a girl home
>she sees this
>"s-s-sorry user, I forgot I had to do something"

Unfortunately, gaming is still considered childish, and until it isnt, displaying huge numbers of game boxes is a bad idea.

And collecting figurines is always going to be laughable. Not to mention that I want space for actual living and this is ugly. You can do collection prettier than this user.

Can you at least provide some close-ups so we can judge your taste?

P.S. Why do you have two dead island collector editions?

> no weebshit collectors editions

Shit pic op

Its still considered childish because it IS childish.

No

I seriously hope this isn't yours OP. This is the worst collection I've ever seen. Barley anything at all that isn't ps3 and barley anything ps3 that isn't greatest hits. Into the garbage it goes.

Reminds me of just how much I don't miss physical media

The only thing that i wouldn't mind collecting would be game manuals but those are barely made nowadays so it's not a huge loss.

Why would I want piles of shit on my room, like some nostalgia degenerate? Convenience > memorabilia shit
Keep up with the future nigger

Be realistic, when he dies it will go on garage sale, $15 for everything. Or will end up in goodwill or something

Fuck off newfag

But I do.

How old are you?

26.

Have you seen the film "Special Correspondents" with Ricky Gervais? THAT is what people think about figurines.

Ah, yes- the ol' $20,000 worth of games on some $60 Ikea shelves.
Also, fuck helping that guy move.

Like I give a fuck what those retards think. My wife is OK with it (as long as they are not too lewd) and fuck the rest of humanity

>actually caring what other people think about your hobby
>restricting your hobbies because of that
How fucking immature can you be?

>ug ug me no care me only do what want me no social life ugg ugg rocks

Bangai-o

10/10

Because social interaction > titty models and video game boxes

You really are new, though

> I suck society cock and have no personality of my own.
Fuck off, and for the record, decent people worth associating with are open minded and give no fucks if you have some figurines

Are you having a stroke?

You really think you can't have both? Where do you even live?

Everyone and their fucking dog plays games. My boss, coworkers, relatives, friends and their friends and yes, even women play games. No one bats an eye if you collect games. You can even strike up conversations because of that. Just don't be autistic about it, that's what matters.

>having a social life and not being a depressed gaming loser is a bad thing

Kys

As if anyone enters your house. As if anyone cares about your taste in anything, let alone fucking video games.

And?

>you could have a bunch of autistic mandchild shit and a room you're embarrassed to show houseguests
Oh man, have I missed out!

>If you go physical instead of digital youre a loser with no social life

No you kys

Then you are a lucky man. Although, realistically, just because she doesnt say anything, that doesnt mean she wouldnt like for you to do something different. Women really care about what other people think about them and their family.

How am I restricting my hobby? I like to play videogames and I play them, and talk about them with my friends. I just dont talk about them with women (they dont give a shit most cases) and I dont dedicate my entire wall for boxes for games I'll probably never play again.

My gf knows I play, so does everyone I know. But if I took a girl home and she saw that, she would think that I am a weirdo. Everything in excess is suspect.

> Having back water degenerate rural mentality and thinking having figurines prevents you from having social life
Because retards can pass captcha nowadays

Precisely. Couldn't have said it better myself. These childish faggots need to grow up, fuck video games

Are you mentally retarded? Its about having childish things on display, not about playing games. Dumb kike

Let's say you WANTED to collect physical copies. Would you restrict yourself just because you think people would thought of you as a weirdo?

Playing games =/= giant manchild collection.

>every new medium ever

Dont worry, people used to feel this way about books and movies too. Youll grow out of your opinion

Yes

Are we being hit by Quentin's Diamond Dogs?

I would be to ashamed to show this to any women that i bring home to fuck around

If you just want to play the games, having a physical collection isn't really necessary.

But the value of classic games is constantly increasing. I've seen games jump 200% in price in the past couple years, give it another few decades and these things will be genuine antiques. It's worth holding onto your old shit.

But her friends husband's are similar. Have Diablo figurines and other vidya related shit. Literally everybody has some gaming platform and some vidya stuff. Come on, its 2016, who doesn't?

Well, making small compromises is kind of how marriage (at least mine) goes. I don't necessarily like everything she does (like soap operas) but I roll with it anyway.

So you would restrict yourself. Have a nice life where others decide what you can or cannot do. I'm sure you love it.

So it would be less creepy to hide them in a secret room than to have them "on display." lol

>my collection
>15,000 games over 12 systems

Feels good being able to get laid.

>women i fuck

Some serious implications there user

>Play vidya in the 80's and 90's
>build decent library of games on current console/computer
>new system/gen comes out
>think i'll sell my console/computer and games library, so I can buy it
>put an ad in the local paper
>wait for phone calls the day your ad goes in the paper
>a man comes to your house to buy your shit
>buy new console/computer

There are millennials who will and have never experienced this

Keep buying those Steam games

>being a pc gamer

Every normie chick is going to think youre a world of warcraft autist

Guys with giant movie collections come off as autistic too, and even giant libraries can seem weird depending on the person. I'm not talking about a regular Bluray collection, of course, but we all know that guy with a giant shelf or closet of films, and it just seems disconnected from reality, especially with the collectors editions plastic crap sitting around.

Quentin was exaggerating for trolling effect, but was basically right about almost everything he said.

>pretending you don't live in a society

>WoW relevant in 2016

By not being new you avoid looking like a retard

Yeah, because I bring up video games to women I am trying to fuck.

>MOOOOM, SOMEONE SAID I WAS A WEIRDO
How soft skinned are you? Do someone elses thoughts hurt you so much?

>I'm already a virgin Kaz

I legitamely don't give a fuck, I live my life they live theirs.

Makes me realise how pointless it is to buy all this crap as my future generations will probably sell it or throw it away anyway.

>normies having up to date opinions on pc gaming

I play lots of vidya and i cant even think of a recent pc exclusive

But I do have a collection like that, of Genesis games. Not sure if this is a thread for it though.

Collections thread?

Why the fuck not?

I like it.

Sure, why not?

Nice.

Im the guy you responded to. No, I wouldnt, but I would only showcase some of them, and without figurines. Having an entire wall is suspect to everyone. Plus you can do it nicely, between the books on the bookshelves.

The only time when I wouldnt give a shit about this is if I was really succesful. If you drive a Lambo and live in a 4-bedroom house, you can do whatever you like. Until thaat happens, I will make compromises so I can have a happy social life. Its worth it.

Then I say again, youre a lucky man. Perhaps its different in America, but here in Europe, women usually consider it childish, in excess.

>making small compromises is kind of how marriage (at least mine) goes.

Thats how every relationship goes. I go with my gf to the shopping park/nature every saturday, and she doesnt say anything about me playing how long I want on Sunday. Thats what the people hered ont understand - you cant do what you want and not be hindered by it in some way.

>s-so how about that PS4? Bloodborne is great, i really love the feel of it and Infamous has some really great effects, the PS4 is just so powerful
>w-why are you laughing? 4-4 the players! like me because I-I'm a player
>come back

Alright maybe it's not as big as OP but these things take time

>having a case, monitor and keyboard in 2016

Better throw that shit out and get a laptop, chick might think youre a neckbeard. Cant wait til she finds out you like to spend hundreds of dollars on computer parts

Please dont make this yet ANOTHER console wars thread. There is already a million of them on Sup Forums.

Whoops.

We are talking about normie opinions itt

Come on user, I don't give a fuck about console wars but that faggot left himself wide open. Who the fuck brings up vidya when chatting up a girl?

Hey look at all this stuff grandad kept around... Do you think the kids will want to look through it? Maybe they could take one home, but the rest we have to get rid of. I can't believe how much clutter accumulated before the digital revolution. Perhaps a collector will want it on eBay...

No because I don't have sentimental attachment to consumer products.

But if you hold onto your retro games for 20-30 years you'll probably be able to sell them for quite a lot.

I gave up on Lost at about the same time, I was watching reruns on g4 as I missed it when it first aired and it was enjoyable til that point.

Only time they didn't play cops reruns and they get fucked, I miss aots and movies that don't suck.

Introduced me to good movies like Commando.

Why do you think you NEED to make compromises like that? If people judge you so harshly for your hobbies, maybe you know people who are just very retarded.

Like I said, all ym friends and their friends play vidya. My boss and coworkers play vidya. We even agreed on a great series during the job interview. A girl I had not seen for years had bought a SNES and collection of games for it the next time I saw her. We played it the whole night instead of going out to drink. Our group of friends has one girl who plays Tales of games with us. Many more play other types of genres. My parents don't give a shit if I play games or not. I could talk about my vidya collection with my relatives no problem.

I mean, in every aspect of my social life, vidya is relevant or at least potential subject for discussion.

Why is it that I don't need to make compromises in my social life to experience it fully?

>implying there's something wrong with becoming sentimental or nostalgic about them

Pretty neat

Love watching those wrist rockets

Going for normies when there are enough clearly superior nerd chicks

I can respect this opinion. Its better than virgins thinking theyll get laid if they throw out their video games

All the dust

>wasting shelf space for Xbox 360/Ps3 games
>when they're all worth MAYBE 5 dollars

tbqh, nothing other than Nintendo games and obscure Playstation RPGs are worth collecting.

Problem is, this is how every bait console wars thread begins. Someone writes a retarded post and another guy just has to put him down. If people just didnt respond to this shit, Sup Forums would be much better.

Why dont people understand that 99% of people have already made their minds up and wont change them even if you argue with them all day?

>If people judge you so harshly for your hobbies, maybe you know people who are just very retarded.

Like I said, I dont make big compromises. I never had the urge to buy physical copies since digital got popular. I seriously cant tell you what I would 100% do If I wanted to start a collection.

Everyone I know knows that I play videogames. I have a huge gaming PC right next to my Xbox 360, PS3 and PS4. But, when you meet a girl ora friend, you usually dont know her/him that much and having a wall of collectibles at home is detrimental. You need to prove to the girl that you are a functional human being.

Granted, I wouldnt want to be with a girl that judged me for gaming. But I said, everything in excess is suspect for people. If they just see a gaming PC and few consoles, nobody gives a shit. Its something different with an entire wall of gaming boxes. It just says that you are boring. If you dedicate your entire life to videogames, what would you talk to her about?

gimmy dat Asuka fig boi

yes
>PS3

no

This one?

>video games
Okay, this is acceptable, although a little disconcerting

Get a life. If a guy brought me into his room and he has toys like that, it's over
