Firstly, R.I.P Rhino Games =(



I randomly decided to go to reddit as I've never been before and I came across this

http://www.reddit.com/r/fffffffuuuuuuuu ... _a_chance/







Now, this exact same thing has happened to me before except the manager was some fatty covered in grease, eating chicken (really).

I thought it was only me up until now. After reading alot of the stories there I'm really not sure what to believe so I guess I'm just looking for second opinions (of the situation and of gamestop as a whole) and some possible discussion.

Sorry if this is old news or something but meh

I wish Gamestop didn't charge 80 for the Metroid Prime set.

They've got it at the one by my house. It's like $80 though.

nono, i know you can find it places. i meant that it was only made for 6 months or something ridiculously short. anyone who managed to get a copy is going to bury it in their secret vault or sell for a dum price.

ebay bro. EBAY.

I had a co-worker who was telling me of when she used to work at Gamestop. What OP said is pretty much dead-on accurate, as the store manager was "forced by company policy" to hire another female. Sadly, she was the kind of "grrl gamer" that you'd expect, so she was dumb as a bag of bricks and didn't know about any game post-Sega era.

How are game retailers still in business?

Oh right, consoles.

Used games.

I despise gamestops and will avoid them whenever possible.

I hate checkout:

Did you want to reserve anything?
Nope
Hey Shittygame 3 is coming out, it's only 5 bucks to reserve it!
I don't want to reserve anything
Did you hear about Crap 4? You get something worthless with only a 5 dollar reservation!
At this point I want to break all of their teeth on the counter.

Do you have one of our cards?
Nah I'm not interested in it.
You know about it, what you get?
Yeah I'm not interested.
You sure, you know you could save...(it's nothing, it's always nothing, I don't buy used games but it takes them a minute to figure it out)
If I could, I would rip your fingernails out one at a time with a pair of pliers.

Perhaps it's just a pet peeve, but when I say I don't want something and you ask me 4 times, I should be able to punch you in the face.

Yeah but USD, most of the other things I don't buy or use aren't getting phased out by digital distribution.

it's all retarded. same with all of this bullshit pre-order that goes on nowadays. makes no fucking sense.

HEY YOU BOUGHT FROM US WELL NOW YOU'RE COOLER THEN THIS GUY OVER HERE AND YOU GET TO UNLOCK THIS CONTENT ALREADY ON THE CD FOR ONLY $10 EXTRA BUX!


digital distribution was supposed to fucking help, this is all aids. as much as i don't really like every single game on steam save for very very few, they at least do their downloaded shit right. if it's adding to the game or should fucking be there to begin with, or they just want to throw it in later? grats here you go. if it's some useless shit (hat fortress 2) or anything else that doesn't even matter and just looks cool, throw your money away.


fuck you bioware and fuck every game that i ever see a pre order commercial or facebook ad for.
