Post by: Smooth Groove on October 21, 2008, 08:15:58 PM: So it's a 2k problem? Fuck'em, I'm just gonna get it from "digital distribution".

My box was opened, btw, so I'm not just blaming Gamestop for no reason.

what type of person does this. the graphics may be slightly better or whatever but most of the fun about sports games is being able to play friends, either at home or XBL. You can play online on the PC...but no one will play with you haha

Post by: Joe Molotov on October 21, 2008, 11:34:32 PM: Maybe he just wants to have a few sports games around to hide his shameful, cigarillo JRPGs behind. It's what I do. Why do you guys have to be so judgmental?
Title: Re: I'm never buying another game from Gamestop
Post by: Bocsius on October 21, 2008, 11:36:28 PM: If you willingly buy games from Gamestop, you forfeit your right to complain about Gamestop.
Title: Re: I'm never buying another game from Gamestop
Post by: Olivia Wilde Homo on October 21, 2008, 11:48:42 PM: Its been a three year streak of me not spending a cent at GameStop. I got tired of the shit service (this was back when they put a half dozen stickers on your case) and would sell me "new" GBA games that already had all the save slots full of data.
Title: Re: I'm never buying another game from Gamestop
Post by: Smooth Groove on October 22, 2008, 12:51:01 AM: Finally got it working. I guess they're just letting anyone with the DVD install it into their Steam account. So basically, you can install it on as many PCs as you want, as long as a new Steam account is used each time.

The port is kinda disappointing though. It runs at 60fps w/1920x1200 and 4x AA but the 360 version seems to look better. It's probably due to the assets not being made for greater than 720P resolutions.

Whatever, fool. WTF do you know about online gaming? You just own Nintendo consoles and a broken, old PC.
Title: Re: I'm never buying another game from Gamestop
Post by: Joe Molotov on October 22, 2008, 01:20:56 AM: I like how in Gamestop hate threads there's always at least half a dozen people who are like "Derrrr...if you hate Gamestop so much, you shouldn't go there." As if any of us have a choice. :( If you're a real gamer, you have to shop at GS sometimes, that's just all there is to it. It's like telling the hobo if he doesn't like the rancid soup they serve in the soup kitchen, he should go somewhere else. We don't have anywhere else to go. We're digital hobos, begging for videogame scraps from heartless benefactors. This isn't Japan, where there are video games on ever street corner in vending machines with used panties. You gotta really slum around sometimes to find games.
Title: Re: I'm never buying another game from Gamestop
Post by: Smooth Groove on October 22, 2008, 01:21:52 AM: Yeah, I hate Gamestop but they tend to get games, even PC ones, quicker than CC or BB.
Title: Re: I'm never buying another game from Gamestop
Post by: demi on October 22, 2008, 01:22:11 AM: GameStop is great. Haters are dumb dumbs.
Title: Re: I'm never buying another game from Gamestop
Post by: Van Cruncheon on October 22, 2008, 01:24:31 AM: yup, gamestop gets shit in on day of release, which is all my monied collector ass cares about. if i wanted to "shop around" like a filthy capitalist poor i'd vote republican, you shameless po'bucking guttercunts.

Fry's is pretty awesome for PC games or hard to find accessories for consoles.

Post by: MrAngryFace on October 22, 2008, 02:40:15 AM: I dunno, the gamestop I go to is fine. I cant depend on Best Buy. Them having a game when I get their depends on too many factors, them having enough copies depends on even more factors. Best Buy is swell if you buy only the most advertised games, but not for everything else.

Don't consistently get things in on launch day.

Title: Re: I'm never buying another game from Gamestop
Post by: drew on October 22, 2008, 10:39:29 AM: i never buy games on launch @ Bestbuy, Circuit City, Target, or Toys R' Us (demi option), etc...

i also only buy games from Gamestop/EB Games on the release date.
