Octopath is an excellent game imo! It’s also on Game Pass if you have it.

[alexpguy]

Values typically hold through Monday but I'm completely tapped on credit after picking up 40+ games over the past sale. Anything under $17 base I'm taking in today to lock in, anything under I'm holding till Sunday, maybe we'll get a better trade bonus than GTA.

its on gamepass if you have an xbox, i played for a while and found it pretty repetitive and boring.  I did really enjoy Dragon Quest XI and stuff like Persona or Yakuza and even the first Bravely Default but Octopath was fun for 10-15 hours and then just became a slog.

[FMghost]

I played the demo of it and I don't think I can play 16bit looking games anymore after newer jrpgs probably only triangle strategy when that comes out

[ritchardf]

so, does anybody have a store that opens before noon anywhere? i haven't paid attention lately, is this a holiday thing or covid hours?

[KrayzieKMF]

Of course I traded in no man's sky last week...

It’s good if you want an SNES style / type jrpg and you appreciate good writing and details to the town side characters.  Writing is not as good as final fantasy tactics, but it’s trying to be kinda like that I think, highbrow Shakespeare type with some old English words and phrases.  I’m no expert, but that’s how I’d describe it atleast.  Don’t see that a lot, so I like it.  Random battles aren’t too bad to deal with, the stories are good, but long.  Not too exciting or action packed, so if that’s what your looking for, maybe better to skip.  I’m not a fan of the gameplay loop, I would have preferred one big structured story I think rather than fast traveling around all over the place back and forth and just doing the next chapter in each characters stories one after the other, which all follow a similar pattern.  32 in total, about 30 mins to an hour each, that does get old and is an odd progression system.  Difficulty music, battle system are great.  Exploration is kinda weak, the areas are all small, which is good, or else the game would be too bloated, but makes it feel like your just jumping between character stories with a few mins of walking in between.  Play it for the type of game it is, that we don’t get much of anymore, the writing, music, and good turn based battle system.  If how I’ve described those aren’t what you are looking for, the game structure is odd and does get old, so I would skip it in that case.  Otherwise, I am enjoying my time 50 hours in, started off not liking it, and $30 is lowest it’s ever been I think.

Having hard time finding a third game in stock at a store that has Back 4 Blood and Far Cry 6 🤬

[keyblader1985]

Of course I traded in no man's sky last week...

The only reason I haven't traded in mine was because I'm still waiting for some other trade fodder to arrive. But the gettin's good so I'm just gonna go for it.

[trunks982]

Back 4 Blood (PS4 and PS5) are showing $35 base. They are both still on sale (at least on the site) for $22.99 each, and the B2G1 is still active. The Xbox version does not seem to have gotten the bump :(.

wow. i wouldve bought the B4B with steelbook deal from best buy the other day. i want the steelbook and couldve traded in that game.

[shadowysea07]

Only thing is it literally costs more when you pay in cash. All cards give cash back

Most cards give cash back but not all. And usually it's a 3% at specific places 1% everything else.

Does anyone know Gamestop's policy for Christmas returns?  Do I need the original receipt?

You'd need a receipt to get money back within the return period (which I think someone said was til January 15th for holiday purcahses from like, around Thanksgiving onward). They don't do no receipt returns like Walmart or Target, as far as I've ever seen. 

[sparow345]

Yeah? Well I got an empty Astral Chain case and two Warhammer 40,000 Mechanicus (Switch) empty cases. Beat THAT!

 

Edit: Apparently the guy on chat said they have to open an investigation with the carrier to determine the location of my package...so apparently I have to wait 10-15 days for them to have the carrier tell them they did indeed deliver the package of empty cases before issuing replacements? This doesn't sound right.

I finally got what was supposed to be the 2 copies of Warhammer 40K Mechanicus to replace the empty cases and....well I got one of them. And a sealed copy of Just Dance 2022...

[Linkachu]

Anybody know what’s good on this supposed stealth bump?

I had support tell me the same thing when they sent me an empty case before. "We'll open a case with Fedex" - Fedex didn't steal my game, what does Fedex have to do with this? It ultimately got resolved, but just felt shitty like they were trying to shift blame to Fedex in an obviously stupid way.

As long as it was purchased after November 1st, and before December 24th, you can still return it before January 15th. However, you will need the original receipt, or a gift receipt in order to return it, otherwise the best they can do is take it back as a trade-in instead, and give you the trade-in value, which needless to say, will be terrible.

Anything purchased after December 24th isn't eligible for the extended period, but yeah, January 15th, plenty of time.

[Davem]

Yeah exactly. It would be nice to finally dump some stuff with the 30% GTA bonus.

Confirm TIVs ring up in store - one last day of trades for 2021 ^^

Think it's just today and tomorrow. I didn't even realize it until you mentioned it. Fwiw my stores are open at 10am the other days...

It’s been awhile…with the 30% bonus for preorders, is the 10% Pro built in or extra? I’m trying to figure out if it’s 1.3 or 1.4 x base value.

[pbfluff]

hahaha nice!!

What games are eligible for the TIV boost?

[FlyingMonkey9]

38.50 for Metroid dread, astral chain and yoshi wooly world is fantastic. All before 30% so looking like $49 each which is wild.

Can anyone confirm what the 30% TIV is for exactly?

The boost is for the GTA Trilogy physical collection coming to Switch.

[Joe Fongul]

Received the usual e-mail notification with the Most Wanted Trades link & monetary value. There's a lot of the Buy 5 50% games I bought that were questionable at best (D&D Dark Alliance, I'm looking at you...) so I will have to go through the list to see. 

[Confidance]

None of the super bumped games are in stock preowned in my area. I’ll have to buy new

[SephirothWF]

FYI GTA Trilogy and Advanced Wars are boost eligible.

30% INCLUDES your Pro 10%

[mikeshinobi]

boi we doin' some trades today

[FamedGuardian]

I wish Mario Odyssey and BotW were bumped, but it’ll still be a nice day today 💯
