I am so glad my birthday is in November.

Sounds like my experience on the 2/11 Zelda/Monster Hunter/Shulk Amiibo/New 3DS midnight launch

Me: Hi, I’d like to purchase a Zelda edition New 3DS
GS: Sorry, Preorders only
Me: ... Okay, do you have any New 3DS consoles?
GS: No. Sorry. Preorders only
Me: Hmm.. Do you have any copies of Zelda Majora’s Mask?
GS: No, sorry.…

Stores like Best Buy, Target, Wal Mart, Toys R Us, etc do not make most of their money off of the sales of video games. Gamestop does, so they don’t want to buy 30 copies of a game for a store that might end up only selling 2-4 of them, and then get stuck sitting on them forever. Until Dawn is a great newer example of…

this is one of the reasons i stopped going to gamestop.....other than the fact that they buy your games for like 10 bux then turn around and sell them for full price.

The runover is directly tied to how many pre-order there were. If the store only got 4 pre-orders of the game, the company would only send 6 copies. It was a weird system, and frustrated me when I worked there. The only time we got a lot of extra copies was if it was a “blockbuster” game like GTA, COD, Pokemon, etc.

Adding an Aeris lives “route” (or storyline) - 32.6 percent

At least in the sequel they just tell me to shut off the console myself!

Speaking of frozen games I remember when Mantis did his thing with the controller and it rumbled off my table and onto the console. The screen went black. I gave it a couple of minutes thinking it was part of his trick, but no.

I wonder how many people’s first playthrough of MGS1 was an all-nighter.

I only send those to my most loyal of patients. As a thank you for buying me a new car.

This is just a reskinned Battlefield, after all. What you are suggesting would require them to actually do stuff.

“Gold Leader, we’re outnumbered!”

The “Never tell me the odds” line seemed too forced. Of course, that won’t dissuade me from probably getting the game since I do remember my love for Rogue Squadron.

Don’t bitch out, stick to your guns lol.

I’m of the opinion that soccer is the lowest common denominator sport. It’s the Two and a Half Men of sports. The only required thought for soccer is “KICK BALL IN NET,” there’s no baseline need for thought like there is in football. I’d say the average American football fan is many times more knowledgeable about the…

That is the thing though...

Of course it's not the film industry, that's his point: it's an analogy & an apt one at that. Stop being pedantic.

“And, hey, you could certainly argue that placing “A Hideo Kojima Game” on top of a title does something a disservice to all the other designers, programmers, producers, artists, sound designers, QA testers, and other developers who dedicated countless hours to the fifth (and presumably final) Metal Gear Solid.”
