Your Collection's GS Stats

What's your Collection's Average Gamespot (review) Score? Estimated worth via Gamespot? Preferred platform?

Mine has actually gone up from 7.3 to 7.4.

My preferred Platform according to Gamespot is the PS2 at 154 games. Number fo total; Games at the moment is 1003.

Gamespot's estimated value of my collection: $20,049.97

So what's yours? When I get enough I'll crunch some numbers to give some estimates on the Union's average, review score, worth and other stuffs. I figured this would be a cool experiment.

I pulled my collection off of GameSpot about $100 games ago. When I did, it was sitting at around 6.8 or so and $30,000 in value...which puzzles me because you've got a lot more games than I do. Maybe they've adjusted their values or something...jollyroger78

The values shown on the main games page and the collection page are actually different. Now that the collection page no longer shows it, GAMECAMILLER is probably using the one on the main My Games page.

Anyway:

My PC collection has been increasing quite a bit as of late, but that's mainly because I'm counting digital distribution in my collection. If I wasn't, PS2 would be my top platform.

Here are the gory details.

Number of Games: 3102
Average GameSpot Score: 7.0
Preferred Platform: PS (448 )
Estimated Collection Value: $71,369.10

I don't add all my games to my collection because I like to keep the "good taste" emblem, I think that means that I have to have at least a 8.6. I usually only add ones that are not reviewed or that get at least an 8 here, or ones that are worth more (stupid Suikoden reviews). That actually makes up almost all of my collection though.

Number of Games: 285

Average Score: 8.7

Perferred Platform: PC (54) Still surprises me, I might have bough 8 PC games in the last four years.

Value: $5,697.15

Number of Games: 1894 (about 61 games lighter than my current collection)

Average GameSpot Score: 7.2

Wheres the 95 cents come into play? Interesting. Does IGN do this also? It would be interesting to see if there is a difference in prices for the same collection.

I no longer keep my stats of GS so here's the IGN

Factors like black label/lim.ed. and completeness and PAL/US/JP releases etc I'm sure would affect everyone's values a lot.

I've said this before, but while I do have a large amount of PC games, I hate that they are all lumped together given that some aren't even playable on a current PC. Just becuase PS1 titles were playable on the PS2 doesn't mean that all the titles get lumped under the generic PS platform. Same should apply with PC titles, esp with DOS games. I think that each PC game should get associated with the most recent supported OS, but hey what do I know.

I get what you're saying, I've got a lot of PC games myself and it's hard to put something like Space Quest I next to the latest system hogs, but I think in practice it would be difficult to split them up. Too many games are equally supported on multiple OS and it would just get confusing to have some of them listed under Vista, some under XP, some under 95/98... when they may work perfectly well on all three. These days it's easy enough to get DOS titles working on a modern OS too... it's all a rather foggy area.

I think it's near-impossible to break PC gaming into discrete, standard set-ups. With consoles it's easy: there was the PS which was a standard system across the world, there was the PS2 which was the next standard system, and now the PS3 is the standard. One PS2 is the same as another PS2 (well, more or less). But PC systems are ever-evolving and no two systems are really the same. Where does one draw the line between one 'generation' (so to speak) and the next? I suppose you could go with the most recent supported OS... but there's really too much cross-over and scope for confusion. In my opinion, of course :P

Then there's those games that were releases as seperate DOS and Windows versions. Should there be two listings?

Hmm.

Same exact game, two listings.

Heheh looks like I have lots of catching up to do.

Missing a lot of stuff, still working on adding everything.

Isn't it amazing the things you learn about yourself when you look at the "stats" of you collection.

Devouring_One

8.0 is impressive for that size of collection (just as it is for doogz' 355 games. 

Number of Games : 855 (Thats an estimate at best, I've done a couple updates to my GS games lately, and there is plenty more to document)

Average Score : 7.8

Preferred Platform : NES (113)

Estimated Collection Value : $17,095.45 which perhaps I overestimate my collection, but I feel it is higher than this in value. Perhaps I'm too proud, then again, it doesn't really include a lot of factors that matter. 

All in all I feel like I haven't done too badly for the 18 years of my life that are finished. Especially since about 100 games were gained over the past 20 days or so. 

Number of Games: 976 (with 9 Japanese "duplicates" for a grand total of 985)

Average GS Score: 7.4

Preferred Platform: PS2 (214)

Collection Value: $19510.24 (A loss of 12%, not including hardware)

• Number of Games: 881
• Average GameSpot Score: 7.6
• Preferred Platform: X360 ( 258 )
• Estimated Collection Value: $17,611.19

Number of Games: 1075

Average GameSpot Score: 7.6

Preferred Platform: DS (147)

Estimated Collection Value: $21,849.25

The DS may be my largest part of my collection, but I wouldn't call it my preferred system, that is still the Dreamcast. There are just many more worthwhile DS games out there than Dreamcast.

Number of Games: 1111
Average GameSpot Score: 7.7

What's your Collection's Average Gamespot (review) Score? Estimated worth via Gamespot? Preferred platform?

 

Mine has actually gone up from 7.3 to 7.4.

So what's yours? When I get enough I'll crunch some numbers to give some estimates on the Union's average, review score, worth and other stuffs. I figured this would be a cool experiment.

GAMECAMILLER

My AVG rating is 7.9 with my preferred platform being my PC. Even if I had not sold many of my console games off it still would of been PC but not by such a huge margin.

Number of Gamer= 1,180 (Well over 1,200 with duplicates, games yet to be listed, and imports) :)

Average Game Spot Score= 7.2 (Yeah baby I got my bad taste emblem and I LOVE IT!!!! Why? Because I disagree with most game reviews anyways! It also shows I am an equal oppurtunity gamer! :P

Preferred Platform= NES (350) Over half the entire US NES collection! :D

Estimated Value= $23,588.20 (not to bad, but I expected it to be higher) I guess if I listed my imports, duplicates, and misc. games I never added it would be though. :|
