No no I was able to get 235 gold points by speaking with them about the issues around my games not redeeming points normally.
Really interesting Noclip episode about the ESRB. It also covers how the flood of digital games and low print run releases required some changes to their workflow (the short LRG segment begins at 34:35).
Also, a new Retronauts episode about LRG reissuing old games like Star Wars, Monkey Island, and System Shock. Out now on Patreon, should be up in a week for everyone else.

They release too much stuff now. I suspect a lot of the old "get everything" people stopped a while back and just get the games they really want now
I went from "get everything" to buying just specific games I really wanted.
Then it sunk in that the "limited" hook had suckered me into way too many games this generation, LRG and others alike. So I'm eyeing my shelves in some disgust and have a different workflow.
-See game I want
-Is it on Steam? If so, always buy it there. Hell half the time I already have it in my backlog.
-Maybe consider a PS4 disk if it's not on Steam. Prob not though unless it's a shmup or such.
But yeah it was the volume of releases that got me, plus some dissatisfaction with LRG in general.
I skipped the last Kemco RPG. The old ones cost me like $30 shipped if I had nothing to combo with them. Now that there's no hold system, and these have jumped $5 despite PS4 publishing supposedly being cheaper than Vita stuff, and the game would've cost me $45 shipped...
I've seen how cheap people sell Jak II & 3 on ebay so I decided I'll just get it there. Only Jak 1 is the one selling for like $400 and I'm lucky I found it for only $150 there. I'm kinda broke right now so I'll just get it later.
same. Bought everything from them for a 2 years. But the quality of several releases and a growing dissatisfaction broke that streak. Now it's only a select few.
tbh i understand why 2 and 3 are cheap, only the first game and X from ND were the good ones
I too am in the camp of people who used to buy a lot, but not anymore. I still get something from LRG every month since they offer titles I really want, like "Blazing Chrome", "Wandersong" and "Polybius"....but yeah, the massive volume of releases has forced me to take a very good look at the question if I really want this game.
Used to be way more open-minded and bought games I just found interesting, just to try them out...but that's so not an option anymore. It's a blessing and a curse at the same time...can't hurt to buy stuff in a more focused manner, but I am certain to miss out on cool little games I would otherwise have discovered through LRG, like I used to.
No order combining also plays a significant part because now it's 15-22$ in shipping every single time. I'm too poor for that shit. :))
But I'm still on board for the occasional purchase; the "Blasphemous" CE was sadly too expensive for me with shipping, but I think I'll get the standard if I can find something to order it together with. What's coming up in the next couple of weeks? Anything announced specifically? Only "Rocketbirds 2", right?

Oh, it was not....not specifically. Apologies for the misunderstanding. RB2 is just expected to release "soon", I think.
Technically no.
But eventually they will be forgotten. Somehow, LRG will go out of business, or every staff member that's seen one will be replaced. They'll never be worth more, so use them now.
I still haven't sent in my 80+ tickets though...
i was gonna say it came from their twitter but looking at their reply posts it looks like they don't have any 100% confirmation on it now lol
it's also a shame LRG is only doing a vinyl for this soundtrack, getting fed up of this digital and vinyl only stuff when it comes to some limited music releases or if it does have a CD it's usually only bundled in with the CEs
Tetris Effect feels, to me, like LRG has finally jumped the shark. What an odd release. I'm sure it'll sellout... but uh... okay?
Edit: okay, all the patches on disk is a nice selling point.

nah, those 3 games from that one guy that both played and looked like ass will be the strangest releases they've ever done
So printed and distributed by LRG, but not part of their numbered releases. It's not the first time LRG has worked with a developer to get a different game later on, and if this means Rez Infinite later I'm ok with that. If it doesn't mean Rez Infinite later then I'm sad to not get that game, but still ok with it because the game isn't part of the core LRG collection.
I was curious as to why you guys are mentioning Rez Infinite as I swear I have a PS4 disc on my shelf. Just checked my shelf, yup, I have it. Just checked eBay... holy hell... when did this $30 game double and/or triple in price?!
i didn't know about that, it's the fact that iam8bit screwed up their release so much and did stuff with customers in the past that i didn't want to bother with them and then there's there's the fact they're supposed to have a UK based company but you get hit by customs anyways if you order from them
Is LRG having fangamer send the physical game first for the Shenmue 3 CE and then supplying the CE contents afterward?
I just got 2 copies of Shenmue 3 with the slipcover in the mail and one of them is my backer copy. Trying to figure out if the second copy is cause I ordered the LRG CE.

Aparently it has all the patches on disk, right? I'm all for reprints like that.
Oh? Well, yeah, that would be worth a re-release. I might get it if that's the case.
