Lies of P is pretty good so far. Very much Bloodborne with a Pinocchio coat of paint. That said, since BB runs like trash even on PS5, I’m more than happy to take this. Demo is quite polished. Would like to know if progress carries over to the main game before spending too much time on it.

I assume Saints Row 5 isn't worth even $14.99 (Amazon and Best Buy)?

For what it’s worth the game has gotten massive updates and patches since launch and I think it’s totally worth $15

I had fun with the game playing co-op at launch.  There is some cringe in it, but it's still a good enough time.

I got it (Saints Row) for 22 and enjoyed it for a good while. Never finished the game and probably won't but definitely got my money's worth out of it

After doing that Aspect quest and a few side quests in Diablo 4, I went back to Astaroth and but it on the first try. So, yeah, the Aspects stuff in particular can make a big difference. Game is so awesome!

Speaking of GameStop, I went there today during my lunch break at 12:30 p.m. EST to use my $5 monthly coupon. 
 
The store was still closed with the doors locked and the security shutters down.  For a store that opens at 12 noon and closes at 8 p.m., they already open later and close earlier than any other brick and mortar retailer.  Yet, they wonder why their store aren't meeting projections.
 
This is the fourth time that I have gone to this GameStop location early in the day and found it closed.  I'd post this in the GameStop thread, but I'm sure they're just say something along the lines of "You're an idiot because you should have known better than to go to a GameStop during its posted operating hours." 

A couple weeks ago I was talking to one of the employees at my GameStop and he was telling me how understaffed the stores in my city were at the time. He had been working by himself 3 days in a row and was going to half to work at another store because all their employees quit. I miss when their stores were full with games rather than collectibles and there wasn’t a revolving door of employees.

Raiden III came out on Xbox Series. It doesn't appear on the recent new release lists and according to it's release date, it was 2/22/23. Sure enough, you'll see it group up with febuary new releases......even then it literally just came out.

There  is one review for the game that mentions this exact problem and I'm starting to wonder if sales of indie/lesser known titles is legit being hampered because of this.

Thanks for bringing this up. I check the new games list every week and totally missed this game.

The TA release list for this week includes the game, saying it released on the 6th.  The description on the YouTube trailer also says June 6.

TA did pick up the achievements on Feb 22.  It was part of my scan on Monday night, but it didn't have any price info set and was unavailable for purchase.  The release date on the Xbox store could be a display bug, which might've thrown off other sites' release lists, including Xbox's own.

that what happens when they chase profits and race to the bottom for bare minimum cost vs returns of profit. it's also a byproduct of all jobs saying don't like us giving you crap and crap wages ? go elsewhere ! so nobody stay and the bar keep going lower for those that do.

 

truthly this is not the bottom were about halfway there, still room for more profits, cut corners and telling people they just need to get better job if they don't like it. 

[walletandgromice]

... and telling people they just need to get better job if they don't like it.

Pretty hard to find a job at this wage that's "better" than the one that you can roll in an hour late or close for an hour during lunch without any manager to report you

And yes, it is a joke. I know these employees get treated like garbage by some very hostile customers...

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T HAVE SMASH BROTHERS ON THE XBOX???

Your mentality is one that leads to deeper enjoyment and fulfillment, the rush to max mindset is the typical churner who never feels any satisfaction because they don't enjoy the process.

The game starts at level 50 so the rush to get there is best done through powerleveling. There is nothing deep about incomplete builds and for seasoned veterans: nothing to learn. Traditionally the grind to level cap is a learning process for newbies, incorporating skills as you go but I'm so over that grind it bores me to death. Now that I'm hitting Nightmare dungeons and my build is coming online, I'm finally having a blast with my character and dominating the game with the satisfaction of my hard work getting there.

 

People that play slow or for the story typically care nothing about endgame the way we do. For us, empowerment is the real payoff.

Anyone with Meijer in range, I can confirm this was at my local store. Inventory seems to be a crapshoot. I got New Tales from the Borderlands, Gotham Knights, and Zelda for about $30 total.

My 1 month game pass auto redeem finally went through today (6/9/20203) for last month. Microsoft Rewards is all kind of screwed up of late.

I Worked at Toys R Us for longer than I should've and I still hate Christmas because of it.

My uncle was someone who called everyone video game console "Nintendo" (which is funny considering he owned an Intellivision before the NES was a thing). Good thing he never really got me video games for Christmas and birthdays in the 90s or he would've been going to stores asking for a copy of Sonic for "Nintendo".

Working at Target in high school and college did the same to me. Tickle Me Elmo brought on a madness in people I thought impossible.

Microsoft just refunded D4 Ultimate on my account. I guess I got the game for free with a $25 gift card.

[ChefMason]

Rip my 30 dollar diablo 4 journey. It was fun my dudes.

[awp]

Wonder if mine hasn’t been refunded because I paid with a credit card. Still shows “Completed” for me and license still in tact.

[even13flow]

Mine hasn’t refunded yet and i paid with Microsoft credit. They literally kicked my other $30 friend out of the game and told him he needed to buy it, showed refunded on his order history.

Mine still seems intact at this time

[ChefMason]

I paid 28 on cc and the other 2 buck with Microsoft monies

[shoethiefrexyk9]

Same here just got the refund email darn!

I paid with a credit card and I got hit with the refund as well.

[awp]

Now just got the refund as well. I’m just going to get the standard edition. Only reason I wanted Ultimate was for the early access.

Talked to someone in chat, they're blaming us for not realizing it was an upgrade. Yep, they're going that route hahaha
