You really sound like someone harping on the flaws of the game becasue you have been playing too many open-world games lately (most of which have similar repetitive tasks to do), we all know those tasks exist in most open world games these days, they are the norm, but instead of talking about what’s good about the…

Yeah, sure, but I also see pandafresh’s point-of-view which is that the article’s intro kinda reads like a humblebrag or, worse, someone who isn’t quite appreciative of their pretty awesome job.

If this game bombs, it’s gonna bomb historic on the Kotaku review!!!

When Europeans got to Africa, they had the Bible and the Afircans had the land. A couple hundred years leter, the Europeans had the land and the Africans had the Bible.

These passages aren’t nearly as bad as the author suggets, or as I feared they would be. I don’t read the stuff about religion and culture as an attempt to soft peddle the severity of slavery, but to indicate that enslaved Africans tried to live meaningful lives despite it. It’s actually an important lesson: slaves…

It seems that they could’ve skipped the whole mess and just made the Book of Negroes required reading.

I’m in my teens and online shopping isn’t a thing yet. Back then you would normally sell your games to local stores and pawn shops. So being a smart child I hopped on my bike and hit up about 5 stores to see what kind of cash I could get for my Nes games.

My worst experience was when I worked at the store — Electronics Boutique, which is identical to Gamestop (and indeed, since owned by Gamestop). This was over ten years ago when I was in high school. A fellow wanted to return an N64 game for a full refund despite lacking a receipt (and in spite of the fact that the…

During my last year of college, I stopped off in a Gamestop one day to buy my boyfriend at the time a copy of Dark Souls for the 360. He had already played the game several times on my PS3, but I figured it’d be nice for him to have it at his apartment and figured it was a nice gesture. So I go in there and, not…

When I was at my local GameStop for a midnight release and we were all lined up inside the store and it was around 11:54pm, and the 18 year old Manager was asked “what happens if I don’t have my reciept” and she said that “If you don’t have your reciept, I’m not giving you the game” in a I’m cool and have power type…

I stopped going to Gamestop back in the PS2 ERA! All it took was 1 single event. Here’s what it was:

Three years ago I would go to a Gamestop in LA every other week. The people who worked there were smart and all around good employees. That was, UNTIL STEVE CAME. The store had a change in management and this guy named Steve took over the store. He was one of those nerdy, gross, all around unhygienic special…

Well once I went to comment on kotaku and gawker had switched to a new font that was worse than comic sans. That was pretty terrible.

I walked into Game Stop to buy the Burning Crusade expansion for WoW the day it hit the shelves. They had about 50 right behind the counter and who knows how many more in storage. The store was empty except for me and the sales clerk.

As customer when I went to pre-order my Xbox One the clerk at Gamestop kept trying to talk me out of it and get a PS4, I get suggesting one or twice but he started being pretty rude with me about it. Almost to the point of making fun of me for wanting an Xbox One. Laughing it off saying stuff like it’s a waste of…

No horror stories here, just the usual run of snobby little shit Gamestop, Best Buy, etc., employees who think that because they work around video games, that makes them an expert on all things gaming. If you’re going to brag about shit and I call you on something you’re wrong about, don’t be a prick about it or try…

Some friends and I were heavy into MMORPGs, and decided to try Rift after playing through EQ2, WoW and Guild Wars. We play the beta, get heavily into it, and all decide we want Collector’s Editions when they get announced. The day comes, and I pre-order and my local Gamestop. It was my first pre-order there, because I…

Can’t say I’ve ever really had a bad experience at a Gamestop/Babbages/Best Buy/Circuit City/etc. But even if I come across an employee who’s being rude I try to brush it off. Maybe they’ve just dealt with a bad customer, or maybe there’s some trouble with school, bills. Who knows. But having once worked in retail at…

They yelled at me when I deficated in the corner near the Wii. That was a bit rude of them, at least let me finish before kicking me out.

...No I’ve never had a bad experience... just the employees when they tell me that annoying stuff about promotions and all that stuff. Or, feeling like I’m getting ripped off when I…
