One of these days some dude in marketing is going to come up with the idea of preorder reservations where you pay a fee in advance in order to secure that your preorder will be there say 1. With out the preorder reservation you might have to wait up to a month for it to arrive.

They accept trade-ins for credit on new releases. Never mind that Best Buy does too, Gamestop did it first and some people just go there for life due to bizarre sunken cost fallacy despite everything about the experience there being horrible.

It's not even preorders any more.. Now you pay for "early access" aka "we take your money and never finish the game gently caress you lol"

I haven't read the thread yet, but I'm going to assume some if not many people have disparaged you for having an opinion. But I want you to know you're right, and I agrre.

yeah, Nintendo actually puts effort into their games and testing in making sure they're good (well, this also goes for Atlus in the case of #FE), so I know I can trust them

The issue was saving and turning off the game at a certain point after triggering a certain cutscene. Since it is very unlikely that you would save there they didn't bother testing it. Though it made absolutely no sense for them to be so convoluted when they had WiiConnect24 and could have easily patched the game. That being said Nintendo isn't exactly the most forward thinking in that regard and it seemed like they really didn't know what to do with consoles being online other than cause the graphics card to overheat from the fan not being on while the system is on standby <_<

Ein cooler Typ posted:is anyone else really bothered by the formatting on that Eh. It reminded me that game is now cheap and I've heard good things about Luigi Mansion games. Things like greatest hits, clearance prices, GOTY versions, bugs, patches, game actually being poo poo are all reasons to never buy games on preorder or launch in general. I don't even Kickstart poo poo any more as it's basically become a preorder program that takes 2+ years most of the time. The only preorder or special order thing I am happy to have done was Panzer Dragoon Saga on the Saturn since they printed gently caress all copies of it. That if the bubble keeps rising I can eventually sell to morons for 1000 bucks in a few years for a 20 hour game.
