time to plat on the guide says 20-25 hours, you have to do two play throughs, one on easy and one on hard, your stats carry over to hard which is why you do easy first so you are buffed up for hard.

 
I don't know where you think Deadpool has Batman like combat. I thought it was more God of War like, but with a gun option.

I played all the way through it on PS3 and loved it. Performed well. Game is fun. Everything is fucking hilarious. Get it.

Mild has played it, I played it some on ps3 so far (paid like 10ish when I found recently at target on clearance)

Its not bad on ps3, not sure if they changed the gameplay any on ps4, but its controls well enough, batman esque combat, my only issue is the camera aint the best sometimes during fights. Game is funny as hell though so far.

24 aint a bad price, especially if you can play quick and trade in, value on that is still 15 at gamestop at least, so can get it for 10 net.

wren'd, tiv even better at bby. plus there is the 50% bonus starting next week so should be pretty close to that next week still.

Has anyone played Deadpool yet? Seems to get mediocre reviews. Worth $24 at BB with GCU?

As others have mentioned, I played it on PS3. Loved it until the end of the hard playthrough which was frustrating as hell, but the humor and generally fun gameplay of the rest of the game still was worth it. I plan to play it again on PS4 when it bubbles to the top of the rental list.

As far as being worth that price, I would probably say no. I would expect to see it continue to drop the further we get away from the movie. The bottom fell out of the price on PS3 until everyone thought it was going to be rare due to licensing issues. Then they got the license back.

ETA: I see now everyone is talking about playing it and flipping it. I guess that would change the opinion on if it was worth it if you can get to it now.

Not worth $25, but maybe worth $10-15 since I am sure I will still get at least $10 out of it once done.

EDIT: And its BB credit anyway, so its free!!!  #cagmath

Correct--"Unavailable" means a store has 0-2 copies available.

That is the one thing were I have to give it to Gamestop. At least they have the Low Stock warning on things like that instead of saying we do not have it when they really might.

Excuse me while I go wash my hands after typing a compliment to Gamestop.

I might just play through once. 8 hours or so I can knock out in a week playing in the mornings and then trade it if I decide not to try for plat. Which I probably won't try. Now to see if I get motivated to run out at lunch time or not. I do have $10 worth of points at BB as well.

 
Yeah, Deadpool is really fun. It's a linear action game that lasts 6-8 hours, though. Most of you would probably think that's not worth $20+.

6-8 hours is actually what has me almost sold on it. I can knock it out in a week and get $20 or so on trade in (assuming it doesn't tank bad). Even $15 at GS would be ok.

Do you know if "available Feb 18th" means they definitely have 0?

No, I don't--that date means the copy will be shipped to the store for you to pick up, but I'm not sure if that 100% means the store itself has no copies available.

While that's true, I've had a few instances where I went to a Gamestop for a game with that warning only to find that the game wasn't there because an employee had screwed up inventory or someone stole it.

Best Buy's approach is annoying, but they're trying to account for lost/stolen copies.

Watch Deadpool be part of the flash sale for $10 so we all get a Valentine's Day slap from Sony.

Then I take it right back. A bit annoying having to go to BB twice in a couple of days but otherwise no big deal. Plus unless it is like $5-$10 I doubt I want to buy it digitally anyway.

Well honestly, that is your fault. The site even tells you to call ahead to verify they have it when it says that. Now if the employee on the phone is a lazy fuck and does not put hands on the game to hold for you when you call, then you have a valid complaint.

Most GS employees that I've seen fit this description, plus I've also had plenty of instances where I call ahead or place an online hold for a game, they say they don't have it, then I go to the store anyway (assuming it's on the way when I run errands) and find the game myself in 5 minutes.

That pharma fucker Shkreli is sure to try to buy it. Just wait until his check bounces higher than a superball dropped off the top of the Empire State Building.
 
Deadpool is kinda tempting but I can wait for $15 or less.

To add to the bullshit of Killzone Mercenaries apparently when I "quit and saved checkpoint" last night it didn't actually save so now I get to do the whole final level again!
 
Gamestop just has so much shit thrown around their stores it isnt surprising they lose things a lot.  Plus, opening the games and putting the cds in a drawer.  ugh.

OK, I think I need to offer a dissenting opinion on the previously praised Quesalupa.

I was underwhelmed. Mayhap I didn't get as much hidden cheese? It was pretty bland. I thought with the name being a hybrid amalgam of the quesadilla and chalupa that it might have the sauce from a quesadilla or chalupa (did chalupa have the baja sauce?) to give it a bit of much needed zing.

I will never get again. I'm actually agreeing with T-Bone for a change.

I didn't think it was all that great either. Only way I'd see myself getting it again is if they have it in a great $5 box or something. Otherwise I'll just still to my usual orders.

Me: "Can you confirm that you have X game in stock?"

Employee: (Immediately) "Yes."

Me: "Yes you are able to go confirm it or yes you have it in stock?"

Employee: "it's in stock."

Me: (skeptical) "Huh, that's great. Can you tell me if it has the original case?"

Employee: (Immediately) "Yes."

Me: "Yes you can tell me or yes it has the case?"

Employee: "yes. it has the case."

Me: (skeptical) "Great. I'll be there in a few minutes to come pick it up. could you hold on to it for me?"

Employee: "um, sure."

This is pretty representative of what happens when I call. Then I show up and either the game just flat out doesn't exist or they hand me some obtuse DS game with a vaguely similar title in a paper CD sleeve instead of what I was looking for.

 
Unfortunately thats kind of how all communication goes with every customer service person I deal with now.

People have always been pretty dumb on average but its gotten much worse since we all (even all of us) use our phones for every day communication now.  And I am not talking about actually speaking into the phone either.

I am not sure when I last even bought anything besides hardware from Gamestop, but I take a different approach and go on more of an offensive:

Them: Hello.... blah blah blah.... buy and sell used games.... blah blah blah... preorder.... blah blah

Me: I just checked your website for a game and it says low stock, so I want you to physically put your hands on it to tell me if it is in fact there.

Never had an issue with that approach. In fact once I heard them typing after and went with the...

Me: I hear you looking it up in the computer. I know what the computer is going to say since it will match the website. I want you to have it in your hand while I am on the phone.

I may have ended up with ball sweat on the disc once I got it, but at least I did not waste a trip to the store.

Also, considering how "big" Gamestop sees itself regarding shopping for used games, their website is a fuck ing joke.

-You don't see your payment method for placed orders.

-If an order gets canceled for whatever reason, there's absolutely nothing to indicate when you should expect a refund--not in the cancellation email nor in the order details.

-If you place an order with a Gamestop gift card and that order gets canceled, it's a PITA to get that refunded because you have to talk to Gamestop's Customer Service, who doesn't seem to know the difference between a credit card and a gift card and will claim your money is "on hold by your financial institution".

Basically, don't order from GS.com unless you have no other choice, and keep tabs on your credit balance on the off-chance an order is canceled.

 
I think I paid $10 for my PS3 Deadpool from Go Hastings or some shit the Black Friday before last.  Not sure how much PS3 trades for cause GS.com is down.  I still have some trophy cleanup on it anyway, including finishing my Hard run.  About halfway through, but the lady has my copy now.

Don't forget that the website just doesn't work on occasion! Errored out like 5 times on me when I tried to pick up the gwent witcher 3 dlc stuff. And they still took my money even though the order never went through.

I try to just go in stores when I need to use my credit there now. The guys at my normal store are pretty good, they even started saving amiibo for me when they were still rare, and calling when they came in. Was pretty cool.

Shit is a waste of money but I always get paid back that night.

I always felt it was strange that somehow a married man gets something when the woman has sex with him. but only after he buys her something. When your married shouldnt you get that nearly anytime? Nope. You dont.

 
I thought about buying flowers. Probably won't. Might grab a few balloons then leave them on/over the bed while she's sleeping Sunday morning. One of our vendors brought by a big box of random V-day cards for the employees, too. I'll probably grab a few random ones and put them around the house. They're for all kinds of stuff like grandkids and siblings and crap so it'll be fun.

I get it on the regular, just tonight i'll get the "he bought me flowers and sent them to work so all my female co workers were jealous of how great my man is" sex.

right, it boils down to trying to make other women jealous.

shouldnt being nice to each other every day, not just on one made up day matter more than buying flowers?
