I'm on a Prime 2 month trial atm (one of my orders was a day late so they extended my membership one extra month) I was even thinking of keeping Prime for upcoming game releases this fall, but now I know why I instinctively renewed by Gamer Club membership through BB on Monday (expired since February.) I just wish best buy handed out 10-20 dollar pre-order coupons as freely as they used to.
Ultimately it depends on where you live. We have a headquarters right in Richfield, MN so I get games typically on release day or in some cases I've gotten them the day before release day.
Your first mistake is walking into an actual store.. peopling? Ugh. Between Prime and Gamers Club who even pays full price for a video game by walking into a physical store? I can't remember the last time I did that.
MGSV was awful, I'm surprised Portable Ops is so low on the list. Personally even Portable Ops topped The Phantom Pain story wise. And Hideo Kojima was only a Producer on Portable Ops.
Yes, in fact I took a few weeks off from gaming (summer drought+holiday) and realized a few friends are encroaching on my score. I just picked up Oddworld and Get Even + I got a bunch of free games over E3 so I'm coming back with an achievement blitz. Currently at 69,810.
You my friend get the award for most thought out and factually accurate comment I've probably ever read on this site. I graduated as a History Major and a German Language Minor so I appreciate that you took the time to add in the little details that yes, many people are completely unaware of and I hope other people stop and read your comment. I will also absolutely give that documentary a watch. I can't believe I've never heard of it? Last one I watched was "Hitler: A Career....
Two things that stood out to me whilst reading this article, black athletes were surprised how well they were treated by the Germans during the 1936 Olympics and even more so they were allowed to stay in the same hotel as white athletes. The other, I noticed this week playing Sniper Elite 4 there's no Swastikas! Lots of German Eagles with empty wreathes? I find this strange because in Zombie Army Trilogy (also made by Rebellion) there were Swastikas every 10 feet + pentagrams. Moral of t...
The Phantom Pain was terrible. Where people hated on MGS4 in 2008, The Phantom Plot released in 2015 and inadvertently made Guns of the Patriots a masterpiece and thus the true ending of a great series. Even Peace Walker & Portable Ops blew MGSV out of the water and into orbit. (Mind you Portable Ops was only Produced by Hideo Kojima.)
~I'm 27 hours into the game and still on the ice planet Voeld. I'm so happy I ignored the reviews and the hate wagon, because I'm really enjoying it.
I've noticed people are completely unaware that the team behind the Original Trilogy is now history. It seems as though reviewers and many fans are approaching this game with a level of expectation that this IS the fourth installment of the Commander Shepard saga from Greg Zeschuk and Ryan Muzyka. This is a stand alone game from a new team whom are filling some gargantuan shoes. For example had MGSV been directed by say; Masahiro Yamamoto, people would have tore *that* game to shreds. But...
And when exactly is Cyberpunk 2077 coming out? Probably Fall 2018 at the earliest.. in fact, the only thing we'll likely hear of it this year is an inevitable "Gaming no-shows of E3 2017" article. Let's reserve that excitement for a more realistic time frame.
LOL the same site (along with Gamespot) that gave MGSV a 10/10 and called it a "masterpiece" which in reality MGSV was; incomplete, terrible story, a copy and pasted mission rehash disaster and for what little spoken dialogue there actually was.. mediocre. I had my doubts about Andromeda but I'm going to play it for myself and decide. I have a feeling it will wind up another of my cult classic titles.
While they're not great by any stretch of the imagination, they're certainly not as bad as many sites are leading people to believe. I looked over some of them and I concluded, these characters look like average people. They're not super models or celebrities. If that were the case they'd be in advertisements on billboards in the game or probably dancing/performing at Afterlife (my personal fav) or Cora's Den. It would seem these days, people spend so much time staring at ...
I try to sneak one in every now and again and this situation with Mass Effect may very well warrant it, but we shall see come next Monday/Tuesday. ;-)
Yes, however, "actively concerned" does not even begin to describe my current state. I said I was going in blind and keeping my expectations tempered near absolute zero but I started slipping on the early access videos... I just needed to know.. I'm going to give it a chance. But thanks to the last few days of news and videos I'm probably going to have a meltdown (until I'm unresponsive) to the degree of Laura Palmer's mom in Twin Peaks when she learns of Laura's...
I'm going to play as Scott and yes, he's going to be gay, but really.. why not leave some mystery? It's like when you go out to a bar or a party, you don't have this preset plan of who you're going to try and bang. You just go with the flow and see who you encounter. Maybe I'm from the old world, but I prefer my in the flesh "fun surprises" when it comes to prospective gentlemen. ~A little of the old face to face.
Damn.. and here I am sitting with my meager 67,000 Gamerscore.. o_o
I know others commented on Titanfall and Battlefield (I don't play multiplayer focused games, so I can't speak to any of those titles, but I do know story, dialogue & character development is virtually non-existent.) However, Mass Effect fans who have been their since the beginning know full well the decline the series went through with 2 & 3. They weren't terrible games by any means, but when compared to the original Mass Effect you can clearly see where things began to c...
Gamestop has them back in stock for those who don't want their check card charged immediately by Target.
