Loveeee this kind of video, so satisfying! I thought something felt different and this confirms it! Q’s: 1. What’s your ideal solution for wall space competition between posters/wall hangings and games? 2. In the future would you prefer to have all games for parent systems together? Ie all PS series, etc. 3. What’s the most annoying system to organize? 4. What are some of your favorite special editions? Either in terms of game and the provided items, or just coolest swag? 5. Would you consider streaming room orgs in the future and then upload?

I hear you with the Final Fantasy/Dragon Quest point. Great video as always man

Excellent picks, some really great indie gems here that I wasn't aware of that I'm looking forward to checking out now. There's no denying that Dragon Quest III HD is the real winner of 2024, cannot wait to play that game this fall, however sleep deprived I might be! It's great to see that video responses are still alive and well in 2024 :)

It's been awhile since i've felt this overwhelmed with upcoming releases and games I missed, truly a crazy year for releases. I agree with Dragon Quest III HD-2D being the perfect type of classic cozy rpg we need for fall/winter, can't wait for that. In passing I casually added 1000xResist to my steam wishlist thinking the style looked really neat and I like a nice deep narrative game from time to time. But seeing its reviews on steam and everyone gassing it up recently... need to check that out by the end of the year.

I’m looking forward to dragon quest hd and I’ll possibly be playing sand land too

I’m with you in 1000x, I gotta read that before year’s end

This truly has been a great year for JRPGs. Really impressed by not only the sheer numbers across the board but seeing so many land on Xbox has been such a treat. Can’t wait to sink my teeth into Metaphor Atlus has killed it this year from what they’ve developed and published.

I just wanted to come back and let you know buddy…my video response is coming soon. I haven’t forgotten!! 😏

Some questions for the possible rearranging/Q&A video! 1. What do you miss most about games from the late 90s/early 2000s compared to now? 2. Do you have a particular game or handful of games you have fond memories renting from Blockbuster or a similar store? Maybe a game you took a chance on and it really surprised you. 3. What are you looking forward to most about the Switch’s successor console? Console features, games or something else entirely! 4. Do you have a go-to gaming soundtrack that you listen to that helps you relax or maybe you listen to while going for a walk/driving? 5. On a scale of 1-10, 1 being “no chance” and 10 being “I’ll be in line for that!”, how likely are you to buy the Switch 2, or whatever it might be called, day 1?

Maybe I’m alone in thinking this but...if you ever move could we get a 2 hour time lapse video of you just moving/boxing games?! Really enjoyed that PS1/PS5 time lapse with major song hype. It’s always fun rearranging the game room and finding the best way make room for the collection, but also highlight and showcase your favorite games and items. Awesome video, Blink, really enjoyed this one!

Blinkoom! I recently bought a vita and was wondering if you had any recommended gems? Thanks in advance!

I kinda got into collecting for the PS3 this year, but what's funny about the PS3 is that the best games are: 1) cheap and 2) available in more modern systems. Since i'm not one to buy a worse version of the same game, i don't buy stuff i already have like Uncharted (have the ps4 version) or Skyrim, which would lead me to go look for some hidden gems... It's tough, to say the least. Specially with the type of games i really like being turn-based combat JRPGs, there aren't that many good titles on PS3. My most recent purchases were Star Ocean Last Hope (not turn-based, but i liked Second Story R) and the combat is so annoying, then i go to Enchanted Arms and the game just feels like the most generic JRPG ever made.

Just subbed

I love my ps3 in 2024

The young PS5 games stuck their PS1 elders in a dark corner to forget about them. The video gaming hobby truly is a microcosm of humanity 😂

Also me: i need more CRT televisions

This is such a relatable video. I'm always subtly tweaking a shelf here and there for optimum use of my limited space. And it's never perfect, so the endless cycle of rearranging never ends.

Also, as far as reorganizing goes, your life will be much better/easier if you have your games catalogued in Gameye, Collectorz, or even Pricecharting. To be honest it's still a nightmare unless you leave shelving space open for new games. Having to do the shelf shuffle where you move one game box over from shelf to shelf to fit a new game at the top gets pretty annoying. At times it's tempted me to just give up and have stuff out of order.

It's a nightmare we physical collectors all have to face... I did some rearranging of both my PS2 and PS3 games a few weeks ago and straighten them up better. But it means I would have to have my PS3 games in front of a row of my PS2 games obscuring them. I have them sitting on a top shelf in a closet. Also, I have the same or similar rack that you are using for your PS1 games. Those sliding holders do their job well when there's not enough to fill a whole row, but they take up space when you need it and I wish we could easily remove them when needed.

I have a similarly tight and dense game room and drilling additional holes for the ikea/atlantic/whatever furniture with pegs is also a solid way to go. You just need to make a template to drill them reliably so you're not drilling holes at different heights and having wobbly shelves. I've always had the same problem with inefficient shelving. One way or another there's always a gap that's annoying. I tend to buy the gigantic collector's editions as well so a lot of it for me is Tetris-ing them into wherever they fit without putting weight on the boxes and damaging them from stacking. In an unrelated note it's also a good idea to flip the shelves to help work out the bowing if they're the type that aren't indented on one side. Hopefully one of these days they make shelving for media like this that isn't insanely expensive but also doesn't droop down after like a year of having weight on them. PS1 stuff in particular loves to give shelving the sag.

Great video and who doesn't want to hang out with the moogle light? My question for a Q&A video would be is there a series you actively or would like to retroactively get platinum's for? (Example own every plat for every God of War or Yakuza games)

I love videos like this

Collection videos from Blinkoom are my aesthetic. I injected all 3 parts directly into my bloodstream, I can’t get enough. Eagerly awaiting my next hit

A great line up of games mate! I’m looking forward to seeing some of these get ticked off!

It Takes Two! One of my favourites! PS4 has a MASSIVE library, one of the biggest on any console... I think over 4000 physical games?

In June I got the extremely quick platinum and 100% for Horizon Forbidden West on Ultra hard with "only" 150 hours. I also did the ingame 100% during that. This game is one of my favourite games of all time. It is so incredibly good and I just loved every hour of it. My 2nd plat was Mass effect 2 that I had been chipping away at every monday. I have probably more than 2k hours in the trilogy if we include LE and the original one. Mass effect 2 on ps4/5 was the buggiest game I've ever played. If anyone ever plays the trilogy, just do yourself a favour and play them on PC. Since Saints Row 4 is leaving PS Plus I also grabbed the 100% for that. This game is just dumb fun with an okay story. Currently I've started my very first souls game with darksouls 3. I'm also chipping away at the Ghost of Tsushima 100%, still have to finish the NG+ and then have to do legends.

Great video! You have officially kick started my addiction of trophy hunting again! I enjoyed talking about the tony hawk 1+2 and feel like we should motivate each other and finish off that level 100!

Loved the video, loved this series. Absolutely elite content to have on while capturing fiends for the monster arena in FFX.

Great video as always ✊ I just got done with the ER DLC it amazes me still how they pull off making the DLCs in each entry the best piece of content when the base games are so strong. Personally I’ve returned to Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous and am carving through that games DLCs now that they are done with support for the game content wise. The other game which I just started last night but am loving is Lost Odyssey. I remember playing the opening hour a few years back but got distracted and attentions were pulled elsewhere. This game is so damn good. From the soundtrack to the setting it’s just really impressive what they managed to accomplish and it’s from like 2007/2008 I believe which makes it all the more mind blowing 🤯 Keep up the incredible work and good luck with your goals 😁

We will definitely clean up Operation Tango soon! Certainly well before I'll be too busy changing diapers 😂 I need to take an honest look at my games and my unearned list of games and carve out a path for some trophy goals. At this point it's basically just keep knocking out the Assassin's Creed Plats lol Excellent video and update, Blink, these are always fun to tune into!

The PS4 library is honestly so impressive with the sheer number of games and variation in genres! There so many games that you didn't get to that I love and can't wait to hear your feedback on them. One game that I don't think you mention is Prey have you ever played or own it physically if not I really recommend it.

Such a great video! My Wishlist is growing by the minute! I really didn't know about Touhou Genso Rondo Bullet Ballet so that was a good shout and one I really want to pick up soon

I'm first? Never been first before! That THPS 1+2 lvl 100 grind is rough from what I've heard so good luck with that if you do decide to go for it lol

How do we have sooo many bangers and so much left to play, on just the one system?? I love these videos because it’s cool to go through game by game and really see what we have. Nier’s music is amazing and I’m so glad we got to listen to it in person. lol at you getting congested in real time

Definitely saw some games I'm interested to check up on latter. "The Girl and the Golem" from part 1 is a shoo-in for now but I'm going to have to research a couple others. Anyways, as promised, i think I do have some recommendations to give of my own, though not all of them are PS4 exclusive. I'm just hoping I don't bring up something you've already mentioned, it's easy to lose track of what you already brought up since there was so many. But yeah, as always, no promises. I guess first and foremost, I really want to recommend "Mad Rat Dead". It's a 2D rhythm platformer, very much like "Crypt of the Necrodancer" or "Hi-Fi Rush" where you have to input actions at the timing of a beat. With different songs, and difficulty settings, affected the BPM and rhythm. But on top of that, it also has a surprisingly touching story that you wouldn't expect about a colorful game where you play as an angry, undead rat. You mentioned liking horror related games and I think I got a couple of those as well. Most prominently would be "Darkwood". It's top-down survival-horror heavily based on Slavic influences, leading it to have a rather unique atmosphere. You explore during the day but then have to try to survive the night by any means as enemies stumble into or raid your base. Aside from that, I guess maybe the second and third "Yomawari" games might be interesting, "Midnight Shadows" and "Alone in the Dark" respectively. They are isometric exploratory games based around Japanese yokai and other folk tales. Though they're not really scary per-se, more just spooky. One game I don't really see covered much is "Blue Fire". The best way I can describe it is that it's an action-adventure game akin to "Legend of Zelda", "Wind Waker" in particular due to having a similar aesthetical style, but with a much larger emphasis on platforming. I think you mentioned "Teslagrad" at some point so I suppose I should bring up "World to the West". Technically speaking, this was the unofficial sequel before the actual sequel. It takes place in the same setting but in a different location entirely. Gameplay-wise, it's basically an isometric puzzle game where you navigate this open world using 4 characters, all of whom have their own abilities of course. Heck, one is even a Teslamancer with some of the same abilities from "Teslagrad". You only control one at a time though but you can swap between any of them at select checkpoints. But when you swap, all the uncontrolled characters remain where you left them at other checkpoints, so you are constantly working to figure out how to get everyone to where you need them, which often requires you setting things up with one character so another character can then proceed after. I'm very big into 2D action-platformers but there are just so many to mention, all with their own gimmicks or styles. "Sundered", "Smelter", "Cogen: Sword of Rewind", "Dark Devotion", "Sword of the Vagrant", "Carrion", "Afterimage", "Rabi-Ribi", "Lapis x Labyrinth", etc. Just, way too many. Though if I'm going to highlight one, it has to be "Ender Lilies". While it doesn't have what I'd consider to be an unique gimmick, it's just solid all around. A very somber and beautiful aesthetic, really polished and diverse gameplay, a wonderfully haunting OST, etc. I cannot recommend it enough if you're into those types of games. And heck, it's even getting a sequel soon-ish, "Ender Magnolia". I'm also very into RPGs but I'm a little more hesitant on recommending those. That said, I do want to mention "Mistover". It's kind of a weird mix of genres, it plays like a Mystery Dungeon until you enter battles which are basically just a spin on "Darkest Dungeon". So its very much not a forgiving game if you mess up badly. Though that said, the game does come with various modifiers that allow you mess around with stats and other difficulty options, essentially creating your own custom experience. Unfortunately, the game has been delisted everywhere (both on consoles and Steam alike) so getting it physically is the only way to play it now. And, at least for us, that means importing the Asian copies with the English text option. And that's the main reason why I wanted to mention it, since it's essentially being forgotten due to unavailability. Well, I got more but this should be enough for now. Can't ramble on for too long. Hope at least something in this spiel of a comment ends up interesting you.

If a game has PS4 and PS5 versions, which one do you get?

Under an hour, you’re slipping sir

Nier Replicant might have the best OST ever?! Definitely a game I need to get around to sooner rather than later. That and the Yakuza series feel like two glaring omissions when it comes to my PS4 game playing experience. Also I had NO idea The Last Tinker had a physical release! It's supposed to play very similarly to Jak & Daxter Precursor Legacy so, you know, the premium good stuff. I have it digitally and have been meaning to play it 😎 I'll make a deal...you show me proof of credits in Wolfenstein: The New Order, and I will spend whatever time it takes to beat Impossible Lair. That just seems like a solid gentlemen's agreement! Excellent video to round out a great series of collection videos!

I wish I had a VR setup now because Star Trek Bridge Crew is one of the few games i would 1000% play. Living out some of that Star Trek fantasy sounds like an incredible time! Maybe i should look into picking PSVR1 up... As always, love chilling out and hearing you talk games while I work! Also, shoutout to Mario slumped over in the corner, likely upset that this is about PlayStation, not Nintendo 😂

What an awesome collection! Some of these I didn't even know they had a physical. In the future, do you plan on doing this for other consoles?

Yakuza 0 is so god damn amazing , loved it so much that it started my trophy hunting. I have yet to play the whole series but played kiwami 1 and 2 aswell but since I went for the platinum in all 3 I kinda burned out, sometimes feels like OCD to keep up my completion percentage on my psnprofiles. But for yakuza 0 I enjoyed everything so much the story and all mini games got me hooked and I just wanted to do everything.

Hey man, always appreciate the vids

I would say keep your dreams ALIVE when it comes to building the ultimate Star Trek ship crew. I am ready to embark on the Balan Wondership Enterprise for some good VR fun. I don't have the game yet but I will get a copy because that sounds like some excellent fun. I'm also assigning you homework at this point. You've got to play Wolfenstein The New Order asap! I'll send the Sour Patch Kids if I must 😂 Loving this collection video series, they make for an excellent pairing with some chill game playing!

Part 3?? Man, you're spoiling us at this point 😂 great video as always!

Really enjoyed these videos. Loved hearing your impressions while also adding to my want list. Also reminded me of some games I forgot about. Can't wait for the 1,000 ps4 games collection follow-up in a few years!

25:17 And here I was waiting for Blink's in depth impressions on Summer Lesson...

This video is giving me the itch to collect for the PS4. It really is an incredible system, in terms of pure library it's up there with the all time greats. Speaking of all time greats, it's ironic that 13 Sentinels is the first game in this video, because it's the #1 PS4 game in my heart. Great stuff as always Blink!

🤘🍻

Great to see part two go live 😁 Can’t wait for part three love the content. Currently working through the ER DLC at the moment so will save this video for when I’m playing some Metal Slug Attack Reloaded later as a wind down game 😂 Thought I’d drop in a like and comment though to help ✊

Amazing video thank you so much for this! There are two games I honestly can't wait to hear your opinion on both being death stranding and prey. I honestly had no idea costume quest 2 and Game Tengoku had a physical release! My wish list is growing by the seconds watching these videos!
