1. Stranger's Wrath
2. Ray Gigant
3. Munch's Oddysee
4. Octodad
5. Windjammers

Plenty of them I haven't actually played yet though!

Yep, way too many that I still gotta play. Also, Munch's Odyssey is the game that I regret not picking up. Really should eBay it at some point.

WHY?!?!?

I was kinda interested in the game at one time. Never ended up playing more than an hour of it though. lol

My top 4 :

1- Mecho Tales
2- Furi
3- La-mulana EX
4- Momodora
5- Thimbleweed Park

I wanted La-Mulana EX but it wasn't meant to be. The day it went on sale I guess my connection wasn't at its best. Missed both batches. It's on the list of past LRG releases I'll get eventually.

What are everyone's top five LRG releases?

For me it's:
-Night Trap
-Firewatch
-The Silver Case (PC)
-Observer (on hold still)
-Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath

I was looking through my set as I've been pulling out a few titles to sell off, but damn there's quite a few really quality titles released over the last couple years.

1.Oddworld New 'n' Tasty
2.Raygigant (mainly no thanks to bamco, i thought i'd never get to play it)
3.Nex Machina
4.PBBG (hopefully LRG can break through the ass of Ubisoft and get them to do a Scott Pilgrim remaster and physical)
5.Nurse Love Addiction (this is a random choice because purely it's a VN)

there's a copy on ebay for $40, game was $30 so i guess it's not that bad of a mark up

Awesome. I wonder why they've been silent on it for so long. Really hope LRG do a physical.

I like how NT released only in NA on ps4, but worldwide for Switch.

We know about "Broken Age" for SWI, but other than that I guess we're doing the short-notice thing again. Officially it's just "two PS4 games, rumored are "Dragon's Lair Trilogy" and some NES adventure cimpilation (for PS4, not NES).

Cipher Peon · Oct 8, 2018

Just got Night Trap for Switch last night ahhhhhhhhh

Ordered Layers of Fear for PS4...and I tune in and apparently Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon is releasing physically too????

Let me not mince words.

I.
Love.

Oh man I'm totally in for Dragon's Lair Trilogy if that's coming this Friday.

Woah, that's super cool. So many horror titles this month!

Also very in for Outlast on Switch.

Is the tracking often with such a delay? I'm tracking mine through Asendia, but just got the update that my package arrived in the UK two days ago. That's rather surprising that it's taken them two days to update that honestly.

ThisOne · Oct 8, 2018

Have they mentioned anything about release date for Spelunky?

There's nothing preventing LRG from publishing Switch games that Super Rare Games have issued first, right ?

Yes a lot of legally binding world wide exclusive rights ... thankfully

Warrior of Light · Oct 9, 2018

I feel like LRG set the precedent for that. Personally I think it's ab it of a dick move. Timed exclusive? Sure. But preventing publishers to release games in other regions than your own even after your release has already been sold out? Ugh...

Games are region free , also publishers need the edge on one another. It's how successful biz works

i honestly don't mind other regions getting the game, i could've spent $50+$15 shipping on steamworld dig and steamworld heist or spent the £9 on the RSG version that was in a sale locally like i did and as an added bonus, it's in 1 case rather than taking up 2 spaces

I don't buy Euro versions of physical copies because I hate how the PEGI logo looks in my collections. Peculiar complaint, I know... LRG is a Godsend for folks like me.

Yes, but when your limited stock has sold out there is no incentive to keep those rights and prevent publishers in different regions from picking the game up.

I still wish LRG would establish a European branch.

If people believe they'll be able to pick up the game from another publisher at some point in the future, your game will never sell out.

You mean if people believe they'll be able to import a game and probably pay twice as much? Yeah, I don't buy that. There are enough people in NA to sell a couple of thousand units of a game that people want. LRG has reached a point where most games they pick up now is something that there is a demand for. And should there be a game that's less likely to sell out, I doubt it'd be picked up by a European or Asian publisher later on anyway.

Morfid_Plays · Oct 9, 2018

Samuray · Oct 9, 2018

YES!!!!!
So glad I waited!

Meanwhile we're deep into the second week of October and there are still unrevealed games coming this month, not to mention this Friday (still one unannounced PS4 title). Thinking of making a change for myself regarding situations like that...there's too much coming out anyway.

How would you know ? LRG stated several times anybody was free to negotiate with developers after a run was done. Do you simply assume they have completely reversed this policy and / or that SRG-SLG-SRG2 have never followed it ?

The only examples that come to my mind where LRG was mad about games releasing elsewhere : it was because these were announced while their LRG's run was yet to happen or was even already started. Of course it was disrupting sales.

You can't keep the rights forever anyway, so where do you draw the line ?
It's also not in the interest of the devs who want to sell as much as possible. Of course you need to maintain the doubt whether your game will be released elsewhere or not to maximize impulse purchases, but eventually it's only logical to take the opportunity of a second printing.

Plus I'm aware the games are region free. I live in France and Super Rare Games is European, but their games are much more expensive and I'd totally be willing to import LRG versions instead.

(I definitely wouldn't mind a Shelter: Generations copy for NA.... Especially since Super Rare sold out of it...)

I've spoken in person to super rare several times and most titles are worldwide exclusive, that's how I know

Semoreh · Oct 9, 2018

Well that's a dick move from their part, then. It's understandable from their perspective, but it doesn't make sense from the dev's one. It's also selfish and if they do it other limited retailers are incited to do the same and in the end the customer loses.

I must say I'm not surprised though. I have never been a fan of their practices nor their communication.
LRG has always shielded themselves from backlashes behind the argument they weren't preventing anybody to print new copies of a game. SRG2 can't even do that.

Literally this have it all attitude does my head in. Be great full we are even getting games
If ANY publisher wants exclusive content and games good for them, because without it you wouldn't be getting half this stuff.

The market is built on this foundation

Morfid_Plays · Oct 9, 2018

Also be under no illusions limited run signs exclusive contracts the same as everyone else

I kind of want a physical release of that game, lol. But I think it's first party stuff, so not gonna happen.

I'm not sure what you meant in the first part of your sentence, but the end tends to indicate it was patronizing.

Also be under no illusions limited run signs exclusive contracts the same as everyone else

So you say they lie to our face. I don't know what they sign these days, but it used to allow for some Play-Asia reissued games at least. It was certainly not their "foundation".

Anyway I'm out.

LimitedRunGames · Oct 9, 2018

We can do prints of Super Rare Games if we really wanted to, most publishers don't lock up rights forever if they are then that's really poor on their part and developers should rethink their contracts for any publisher doing so.

The problem is we wouldn't do a reprint for our region (unless the previous release had no English) as the games are region free and not hard to get a hold of. We are already stretched thin on how many releases we can do a year, adding a reprint would just be a waste.

Semoreh · Oct 9, 2018

It makes sense, thanks for your answer =)
In the future, if the first SRG2 games start to be really rare and expensive, it could start making economical sense to reprint them, but right now is probably too soon indeed.

The first game of any label will always be pretty rare and sought after, unless you're called Strictly Limited Games.

They are expecting Cosmic Star Heroine in this week. Bastion is still just 'October'.

I really should get my holds shipped. I still have stuff as far back as Fallen Legion waiting to ship lol.

Err, you should get on that. The terms on the hold system suggests you need to hit a hold release if your lot hits $500 or is 6 months old:
