Not Happy With Game.co.uk's Service

Read about how a problem somewhere in the Game.co.uk's website caused a problem with a pre-order of Uncharted 3 for a member of PSJunkies.com.

fuck game, have and always will fuck with everybody.
They don't even make much money because of their prices and rely on their customers stupidity to get paid. People are wising up in general and as a result of that GAME has shut down hundreds of stores across the UK.

I went to Game with a few friends who went there to pick up their preorder of MW3 and man on top of the quoue being horrendous they was also pushing everybody to buy little additional overpriced extras, it's a joke and they will only ever be loyal to one thing.. £££££

Check this example of Shopto's respect for their customers.

I wanted Mortal Kombat 9 from them because of their excellent delivery service but it was £37.99 (or somewhere around that price) and i saw it for £30.00 elsewhere so i hit up the forum and found a price comparison thread so i put it there and the very next day they replied and dropped the price to £29.99.

Don't go to Game, the reward scheme is a joke i don't see how people a lured into it, use your points so you have none left and then go elsewhere.

Kurisu4584d ago

I realise now that the "points" scheme is a joke, really. The points that you save could just be saved in real money by buying stuff cheaper from elsewhere. I have my Vita pre-ordered in store at GAME, and FFXIII-2 pre-ordered online because of the exclusive pre-order bonus. Once my points are used up I will probably start shopping elsewhere. Their new website has also given me nothing but hassle, can't even view pre-orders properly.

iamgoatman4584d ago

I got Mortal Kombat 9 from shopto as well for £29.99, guess I have you to thank! :D

killcycle4584d ago

Aha yeah i guess so!
No problemo! :D

The Meerkat4584d ago

I used the wrong password to login 3 times (I know my fault).

They said I had to contact customer services to have my account unblocked. So I did, several times by email.

Not a single reply, still cannot order from them because my account won't work.

Just ordered MW3, Skyrim, Forza 4, Halo CE, Batman, Gears from Play and Amazon.

F### You Game!

hiredhelp4584d ago (Edited 4584d ago )

Been with shopto for 3 years nearly. after parting from play.com awfull services. Game is after screwing with ppl money plain simple thats why i buy and sell online.

Shopto im also nealy 100% guranteed to get my game a day at least early and what other service gives you free recorded delivery. SHOPTO.NET ALL THE WAY

Ddouble4584d ago

Amazon is my default buyer. I only use GAME for their pre-order bonuses

Dark_Overlord4584d ago

The only time I ever buy anything from GAME (and Gamestation now due to the take over) is when they have their sales on, sometimes you can pick up games for stupidly low prices. Other than that I'll shop around to find the best deal.

In no particular order, the shops I mainly use are

Amazon.co.uk
Play.com
Zavvi.com
TheHut.co.uk
Dvd.co.uk
ShopTo.net (Although they seem to have an ongoing problem with my bank, and it refuses my card at times)

killcycle4584d ago

Yeah i can't help but go into Game when I'm at my local Mall i guess I'm just addicted to games like that but the last thing i remember buying from them was a bunch of Ps2 games for 99p each.

The Inconsistent Harmony: 5 Examples of Ludonarrative Dissonance in Video Games

VGChartz's Issa Maki: "I finally have a proper designation akin to what I've always referred to internally as 'the line that must be crossed' or 'The Line', for short – ludonarrative dissonance – the separation from a video game's story in relation to its gameplay. Why isn't PETA all up in Mario's grill for jumping on turtles and killing fish, or charging Samus Aran with the extinction of the Metroid species? Ever notice how fire has that habit of making bosses in Resident Evil stronger? Read on my friend, for I endeavor to imbue you with the ability to engage in basic queries concerning the concept."

UC 2, 4, 3 and 1. Great read and article

ABizzel11036d ago

No Golden Abyss -_-, otherwise I agree with the order.

UC2: Best overall
UC4: Best graphics, best gameplay, best locations, best environements
UC3: Best set pieces IMO (the boat and desert fights will always be amazing)
UC1: A rough Draft of what was to come
UCGA: Basically UC1 on Vita

Levii_921037d ago (Edited 1037d ago )

Great list and great article nicely writen and explained. Although for me personaly i would put Drakes Fortune above Drake’s Deception and Uncharted 4 is absolutely my favourite of the franchise and number 1 for me.

Inverno1036d ago

U2 is the only game playable on crushing without causing a great amount of frustration. Not to mention just how much influence it had that they redid some of U2s set pieces like the caravan twice, and armored truck chase in U4.

DFresh1036d ago (Edited 1036d ago )

I'd rate it as the following.

1.) Uncharted 2
(Close to perfection of any game I've played in years. Single Player/Multiplayer/Co Op all amazing.)

2.) Uncharted 3
(On par with UC2 multiplayer/co op wise minus the kickbacks [aka killstreaks]. I really liked the Lawrence of Arabia story.)

3.) Uncharted 4
(Single player is amazing. Multiplayer was meh. Co Op had potential. Absolutely hated the health revive system it slowed down the game way too much. Always preferred the fast pace action of UC2/UC3. Made it way more fun that way. Recoil was too ridiculous that most people in lobbies would only do hip firing, using power weapons and using that OP grappling hook to melee people after dropping them. Nobody wanted to revive anyone.)

4.) Uncharted
(It's the first in the series so it's hard to judge. Though I loved the story.)

NecrumOddBoy1036d ago

I agree here but it’s also a series you can play from front to back and truly enjoy. Story-wise, they are all great and flow so well. I wish they threw both Golden Abyss and Lost Legacy on this list. Lost Legacy is the best mechanically in my opinion. You can see it’s stepping stone framework for TLOUS2.

Michiel19891036d ago

uncharted 2 is one of the few games that actually surpassed its pre-release hype.

medman1036d ago (Edited 1036d ago )

I am a single player gamer...I barely ever touch a multiplayer component. The only exceptions over the years have been the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer, TLOU factions, and the Uncharted 2 multiplayer. The Uncharted 2 multiplayer saw me spend more time playing it than all my other multiplayer experiences over the years combined. That game really was a masterpiece all around.

brando0081036d ago

I agree completely, those are all stellar MP experiences, coming from another SP gamer who only occasionally gives MP some time.

Gardenia1036d ago

Come to think of it, the step between Uncharted 1 and Uncharted 2 is huge. It goes from the weakest in the series to one of the best games ever made.
I think I'm going to play all of them again soon.

Ninver1036d ago

Yeah all of a sudden I've got that Uncharted itch.

Michiel19891036d ago

is multiplayer still up for the remastered trilogy? or did it never have UC2 mp?

Ninver1036d ago
