You must be very angry. COD Black Ops 2 was just like $10 on Steam during the Winter Sale. I don't care if you choose not to shop smartly and wait/look for deals and feel the need to impulse buy at your brick and mortar store.
I hope they get rid of physical versions of games, get rid of the middle-men retailers, and charge what they deem the game is worth. We would start having more $10, $20 up to $70, $80 games because without retailers the price point for any gi...
PT is a poor choice as you are right, it's not a full game... hence why it was much easier to pull/block from download. I own 200+ games digitally between two platforms and not one of them have I ever had an issue playing. Maybe some small small titles may have issues with servers and most MP games, if the servers go down, it affects both physical and digital owners alike.
I don't mind licensing, if I play 40+ new games in one year I don't need 40 boxes on my ...
GTAV was like $20-$30 digitally on Black Friday and during these Holiday Sales... What is wrong with digital in your mind? If we both buy a game new, we pay the same price... we both could wait and shop smart and each of us at some point could find a price deal on a game we liked, digitally or physically.
Very harsh over-reaction and I doubt there'll be a way for physical media to go away.
If you have the internet speed and enjoy owning the games as opposed to buying and trading in (which is a glorified rental service at a certain point), there is nothing better than digital media. My disc drive doesn't even get used so no worries if it breaks (problem with some PS3's).
I don't think Gamestop is doing anything wrong other providing goods and services people are willing to pay for. I hope they make money and I hope the customers get what they want.
Off topic - I don't understand the vitriol for digital gaming, as in, it's the reason people would quit gaming or is ruining gaming. How are options bad? Choice is needed for diversity which is needed for higher quality of product. I always buy digital games on my XB1 and PS4. I p...
I almost think you wrote an incomplete sentence. I'd say the same thing to any company who put up a sale on something that is almost through it's run.
It's amazing how cheap all the gas guzzling cars went between 2007-2011 due to the emergence of electric/alternative fuels... it's like you'd think the car companies wanted to get rid of stock that they knew would lose value as the next wave of cars/fuels were coming...
Geez... big salty... I own a Wii U and have played plenty games, and still do, on it. If you don't see the irony of sales on games for a system that got maybe 4 exclusives per year as a positive, great.
Who said anything about not playing systems b/c they're old? They're putting makeup on a pig's face with 3 months left in the systems life cycle. 3DS isn't far behind as they've basically merged the Wii U/3DS development(s) together for the Switch....
You are good with numbers. If you choose to defend 'Katz' in the above transcript with technicalities, then so be it. I have enough sense to know what people mean when they say things vs technically what can something be construed as.
The transcript is gold... what a moron and a pervert:
"Officer Sudel: K, younger girls ok with u?
Katz: Yes. More energy to keep up.
Officer Sudel: Can I be honest with u? I’m new to all this and a little younger than my ad says but I promise u won’t be disappointed.
Katz: How much younger?
Officer Sudel: 15 ... I’m sending my pic.
Officer Sudel: Just please don’t say anything ok?
Katz: Sure"
What I enjoy about owning multiple consoles is that usually... there's always games I get for dirt cheap as I don't play most on release, bar exceptions like Titanfall or Horizon coming up.
MCC for $20, Unravel for $4, Hitman entire season for $30, Rise of TR for $30 + all DLC... great deals
I like all of my consoles that I have... 3DS, Vita, Super Nintendo, PS3, PS4, XB1, Wii U... they're all hooked up in my house and I play them all when I can.
it also shows how many people bought the game used. I remember the devs behind Heavy Rain indicated that they had 2 million games sold, but 3 million people popped trophies. I.E. 1 million of the 3 million who popped trophies bought the game used. I thought that was interesting.
I enjoy(ed) platinum trophies and still enjoy getting them (earned about 6 or so this year) but I don't like games that push the envelope with playthroughs or save manipulation. UC4 was grea...
Yes sir
I heard a rumor which is that Breath of the Wild comes out.
That's all.
Haven't played one bit of IW but I love MWR :)

This is the world we live in now.
Eh, Sleeping Dogs was great. Love that game, these... not so much for January. PS+ for Jan interests me more.

"buy games for the systems we're almost done supporting"
I like all of my consoles that I have... 3DS, Vita, Super Nintendo, PS3, PS4, XB1, Wii U... they're all hooked up in my house and I play them all when I can.
I am sure that happened... I guess I never share my games or borrow games from people so I don't think about doing that.
