JackFetch Posted December 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Gamestop has been calling people to tell them that their Last Guardian pre-orders have been canceled because the game has been canceled. Sony says the the game isn't canceled. It's mass confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venneh Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Gamestop has been calling people to tell them that their Last Guardian pre-orders have been canceled because the game has been canceled. Sony says the the game isn't canceled. It's mass confusion. As far as I can tell, Gamestop cancelled the pre-order bc they only do pre-orders for games with an actual release frame or some such thing. And I'm pretty sure the designer and the executive just left Sony, but the designer is apparently still committed to the game through a contract? So, not cancelled. ...Yet.

JackFetch Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Some guys from 4Chan got together and made a video game about dating disabled girls. No, seriously.... Nearly two years ago, Leigh wrote a great column on a dating game called Katawa Shoujo being made by members of a 4chan group. What made it stand out were two things: one, it's been on the drawing board for over a decade, and two, it was a dating game based on girls at a school for disabled teenagers. Regardless of what you think of the game's content, the fact it came from a messageboard story, took that long to complete and involved over 20 developers working around the world is pretty damn interesting. Those interested (and over 18, as it's an erotic dating sim) know that it's now been finished and is available to play on Windows, Mac and Linux systems. If you're under 18, or at work? Don't sweat, you can turn the erotic stuff off and just enjoy the chit-chat. http://kotaku.com/5872886/that-game-about-dating-disabled-girls-is-finished-ready-for-download Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.Logan Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 You and Aaron really need to do a catch all Zelda episode, "Ganondorf fucks things up, Link gets artifacts from Fire, Water, Earth and Air. Link beats Ganondorf. Fishing." More like a Tirades episode, given my general opinion of the series. I read this...and my middle finger becomes aroused. All joking aside, these types of stories are kind of ingrained in the human DNA. The hero stories are not exactly different at all, and they all seem to boil down to the same basic elements. All the other trappings are just icing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venneh Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Any recommendations for demos available on the X-Box 360? Thinking of test driving some games. So far, I have the FFXIII-2 demo, and the Bastion demo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 One of the best ways to "test drive" games is to make use of Gamestop's 7-day used games return policy. The people at my local store frequently tell customers to use that return policy, for any reason. The idea, apparently, is that even if you buy-then-return six games in a row, eventually you'll land on one you like and keep it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 The stories I could tell of people abusing that policy when I managed a store could fill several volumes. As for demos...

Venneh Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Yeah, and that still requires putting down money for me. Honestly, I'd rather be able to test drive a free demo than lay down the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 The sucky thing is that most XBL demos aren't really great at letting you do a "test drive;" it's more of a "you can sit down in the car and touch the steering wheel, but the ignition doesn't work." There's a fair number of games out there for cheap enough that it might still be worth it. Halo 3 is $5 last I checked. Re: Dubs: The people at my local store specifically tell their customers that it's okay to return the game even if it's just because they finished the story mode within the 7 days and are bored with it. I would have assumed that it was just some rogue employees not caring if customers abuse the policy, but it turns out that's not the case. I had a conversation with the manager of the store there, and he explained that the CEO of Gamestop actually lives nearby and visits that specific store frequently, so every single minor policy they have, including the way they encourage or discourage returns, has to be completely in line with company standards. It used to be that they'd actually discourage you from using the return policy, but over the last year or two things have changed a bit (maybe because the CEO changed? Just my guess). Now the deal is that they figure the benefits of allowing people to do that counter their potential losses. If customers forget to return the game in 7 days, Gamestop has their money forever. If even one cent of the game is paid for with store credit, customers can only get their money back in store credit, thus Gamestop still has their money forever. And even if customers are paying entirely in cash and buying-then-returning a steady stream of games, they're still walking into the store where they can be ambushed by a billion kinds of advertising and pre-order bonuses.

Guest Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 It's been over five years since I worked there. A lot of things have changed. To what extent, I'll never know, since I wouldn't be caught dead giving those fuckers my money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 The FFXIII-2 demo I started last night seemed to give me a decent enough idea of what the game was like, even if said game made me die inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 I've found demos for Arkham Asylum, Catherine, Bayonetta, Portal, BioShock, and El Shaddai in the last 30 mins. That should keep me busy for most of the weekend/inform buying habits for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
