My first sealed game; need advice
« on: January 12, 2016, 03:29:57 PM »


How do I balance the concomitant excitement of unsealing a game with the crushing knowledge of the mediocrity that awaits me? Need some help from some professional game unsealers here. Serious responses only.

As you are playing the game in question, contemplate how much better a horizontal + vertical cute-em-up based on Conan would have been.


Sure, you laugh, our favorite developer would have inevitably found a way to deliver a mediocre shootemup.

Perhaps.

But that's not the sort of thinking that faked the moon landing.

In a parallel universe, RIOT + Telenet were the apex. Not the anticlimax.

Now, go play Psychic Storm. Damn that game had potential to be so much more. Damn.

Unseal it by placing it inside a microwave, on high setting for 5~10 minutes.

Not answering my question; I have read up on how to unseal games for the last three months in preparation for this so I already know how to do it.

Yes yes, I can see... charming graphics, bright colors, low difficulty... It's like I'm playing it now. CERN should open that wormhole and get the good RIOT devs out of their universe. We need them more.

You will probably beat this game if you put any effort into it. Does that get you excited?

Do take care you have the right steps in unsealing ceremony. If you took the wrong step or chanted the wrong word, you might end up unsealing something far worse. Something that would make cthulhu look like a cute pet kitten.

My copy came in shrink wrap too since I got it a few weeks ago and it was kinda cheap too.  I ripped right through that wrapping without giving it any thought, played it for a few minutes then went back to Brandish...

Conan ain't bad at all, with neat art and decent cut scenes.

I find it best to chop off the shrinkwrap using Sting, but it requires a deft hand at precision ax work.  Whatever you use, don't forget to recycle the shrinkwrap; Gaia will thank you.

I agree, I think Conan is a decent game, and the easy difficulty makes it a nice casual play.The cut scenes are well drawn and colorful. Its nice to play a game once in a while that doesn't completely kick your ass. That's why I like shockman 3 too

Something went wrong. I unsealed the package and put the disc in my duo but all that seemed to do is make a shitty game appear on my tv. Is there a way to reseal it and make my money back?

I am sure there are tutorials on RedTube explaining how to re-seal items.

You will need:
Hair dryer
Petroleum jelly
Parchment paper

Steps:
(1) Turn hair dryer on, set to "heat" and fan on "high". It will take some time to reach proper temperature, so temporarily rest hair dryer next to your DUO.

(2) Preheat oven to 450°. You can reheat yesterday's pizza on parchment paper in the oven.

(3) Watch RedTube.

(4) Listen to soundtrack from Psychic Storm.
