Their site is set up poorly and designed to encourage multi-payments, but saving $10 is literally the entire reason CAG exists (and it's more than just $10, it's new versus previously used as a rental) and compared to some of the hoops I've had to jump through to get discounts, a no fee payment split is trivial. And your issues sounds more like they came from when you canceled your order and now want to reuse the coupon, which rarely works, just do a new email.
First, I'm a fakeybro...
You were clearly more than willing to partake in QVC until things went sideways, so you're not really taking some great moral high ground. I'm not taking anyone's side, if you look in the QVC thread I actually decried the original deal as basically garbage because after all the limitations and shipping charges then it wasn't worth the trouble. But the Zelda discount with free shipping added to the coupon deal is quite worthwhile. Given the opportunity last week I would have happily partaken in getting a new copy of Zelda for $35 instead of paying $44 for a used copy like I did even if I had to make 12 monthly payments of $3 each.
Yea, that's kind of the point about having an issue, right? I was okay with the price when it was pay money for product.
Lol, as the theme is from Xenoblade 3.
probably wouldn't help that's for sure.
Me too, I used it on Wonder and Spider-Man 2, since I'll be getting both right away anyway, and saved $20. I never catch these stupid FOMO Wal-Mart coupons on time, and when that one dropped, I was on the phone and had to struggle to get into the app and place the order while still talking lol
Screw GameStop not being happy. You don't owe them anything. Its a free market. Spend your money where you want to.
Ha ha, agreed, but I do really like the people who work at my local Gamestop and I hate how corporate could possibly come down on them for someone like me just choosing to buy my games for cheaper elsewhere.
I was going to grab a physical of that but then it disappeared from store shelves once deals happened. It's something I may go back to track down a copy once I dig through my own backlog.
Like the majority of my switch games I got it during a Gamestop B2G1 free sale. So yeah I'm one of those that snatched it up once I got a chance. I figure I'd beat it first before trying to tackle all the RPG's in the backlog.
Damn. That’s all I needed it for.
That’s crazy, literally no reason to subscribe now.
Well shit, I had been meaning to place another order. That sucks
I never got in on it since I knew it was going to make me buy more games than I needed, but it really sucks that such a good deal is gone already. We'll never get close to GCU-style memberships ever again.
It didn't seem like enough of a reason to subscribe for what it cost. $50 + $120 for two Switch games to get a third for free when I didn't have much of anything that interested me beyond Super Mario Bros. Wonder when I'd just do the $100 ticket thing on the eShop to get two games for $100.
Yeah unless you make multiple preorders you wouldn't make up the cost anyway. But outside of excluded stuff I can usually get buy x get y sales for free through other places plus stuff like red card and circle discount. So it was really only worth it for the convenience factor and whatever few excluded games it had that those other sales would not typically (besides the like first hour of almost every target sale)
You can use eshop credit to pay for it. I only buy eshop cards when Costco has them 20% off.
Are you sure? It will only let me pay via credit card or PayPal.
Unless they changed it. It’s how I paid for my year back in June.
Oh sweet! Thanks for the heads up. I’ve got lots of Eshop credits from GameStop.
It's like 10-12 hours long which is pretty average for a game nowdays. It's also $10 cheaper than a regular release.
These days I'd almost welcome for rpgs to be that short.
For RPGs I like that Chrono Trigger size. It's long enough to have a lot obviously in about maybe 20+ hours and doesn't feel like it has a lot of fat to trim. Soooooo many RPGS are the opposite now with masses of fat like repetitive quests, worthless dialogue, too many battles, and who knows what else. I just don't play as many these day.
One of the reasons I'm so excited for Spider-Man 2 is because I know it's going to be a great story and world that won't overstay its welcome. I've been getting so weary of these long games that are long just for the sake of it. I still love a good RPG story, but lately I've been gravitating toward shorter, less plot-driven RPGs because I just want to play something. So many RPGs, like ones from Compile Heart, just drown you in hours and hours of boring, visual novel dialogue. And I have no problem with visual novels, but if I wanted a visual novel, I'd play one! We need more pithy RPGs like the Ys series, where there's reasonable amounts of downtime and then fun as hell gameplay.
Very well said! There are certain RPGs that I have no problem sinking over 100 hours into (Xenoblade, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Persona), because those games don't feel as much chock full of fat and padding. They're just long games with lots to do, and I want to do all of it because it's so fun. But like nitrosmob said, too many RPGs have so much padding just for the sake of pushing that playtime past 100 hours. Quality over quantity!
Playing through Xenoblade 2 at the moment and the biggest thing that's irritated me is that you can unlock increases to your running speed via rewards.
I don't have an issue with the running speed. It heightens the initial feeling of danger in the early part of the game when facing the extremely powerful enemies that roam the world. Over time your speed (
