And besides, you'll be playing the game on the actual hardware. The gameplay itself won't be affected if the game itself so came from a box that was still factory wrapped (that is only assuming of course that the internal chip isn't damaged in some way like the seller seemingly claims)

But it just looks like the top part of the plastic has been damaged. The actual chip does not fill the entire cartridge so there's a good chance that it is unaffected. Hence, "Acceptable". Some electrical tape on top of there and it will probably last quite a while longer for someone to play on.

I'm Euro so I just assumed Jaryd was a regular American name.

No, if someone were to want to play the game on the actual hardware, you're not going to pay 20 bucks for a cartridge that's smashed. Even if it's cosmetic, you've got to be a complete fucking retard to want to buy that.

If someone's going to buy a cartridge, I guarantee you they're going to buy an intact cartridge, not a smashed on that looks that sketchy.

"Acceptable" is the lowest condition rating you can give a working used item on eBay. The only rating lower is "For parts/not working", and you cannot narrow down search results by that category, so it typically only gets used for things that legitimately don't work.

C'mon guys, we're not the FF fanbase. Almost all the Zelda games are good.

Getting into the Mega Man games late is suffering.

Also not /vr/ but I was on ebay today looking for Star Fox Assault and it was posted as a rare game.

It's not his opinion that I think is bad, just his argument. Learn the difference.

Is there anything worthwhile here?

I spot 3 worthwhile games, and 80 bucks for that is insulting.

My argument was, and is, that I didn't feel gripped by the story, didn't enjoy the early game, and didn't care for the characters and setting. Why? It wasn't entertaining to me. Why wasn't it entertaining? The stuff in the game just wasn't my cup of tea. There ya go.

Sorry, yeah, there are a couple games that are worth playing, but not for that price.

Thanks, anon bro. I just could not get into that game at any point in time. I tried less than 6 months ago on an emulator and I still hated it. I still maintain that if Deus Ex had not come out in the same year I wouldn't hate it nearly as much. I was spoiled.

4 bidders. One week auction. Makes me sick to my stomach.

I'd say that for 11 it's not a bad deal, you can always get a donor cart for $2 and put it in there.
