GTAV is literally objectively good.
>>333044818
Probably Pokemon Y.
>>333044929
>GTA IS SO BAD
jesus i hate you people.
even if you don't like the game it is not a "bad" game.

There is gamestop in oslo near my place, its 70% merchandize( cheap asian shit) and 30% over priced games even their use games are overpriced compared to a store close buy called platekompaniet, they sell new sealed games cheaper than the used games at gamestop.
Cant wait until they closel their stores

>same grill working there
>she doesn't even remember me even though we had a 20 minute conversation
>manager who I haven't seen since I picked up my Wii U on launch day remembers me by name
Not upset or anything but it's really fucking weird. I kinda thought that he had gotten fired since it's been so long since I've seen him.
i actually forgot fallout 4 existed. such a forgettable piece of shit and waste of an ip
>>333044818
Black Flag
>>333045517
did you really force a girl to listen to you talk about 3ds for 20 mins
>>333044818
Dragon Quest Heroes Used for $40
Should have returned it, plays nothing like a Musou game just a glorified tower defense.
>>333045963
She was the one talking most of the time, if anything she spilled her spaghetti. She even pulled out her Pokemon N3DS and changed faceplates in front of me when I mentioned I kind of wanted that model because the original 3DS had a better form factor.
>>333044818
I got Prey and Clive Barker's Undying from some retro games shop. £5 together, bargain
>>333046417
Yet she didn't remember you.
Way to make an impression there Romeo
>>333044818
STALKER SoC on release, I transitioned the pirating and digital only from then on.
>>333046545
She was a 6/10 at best anyway, senpai.
>>333046660
>Yet she still didn't remember you
I can keep going
>>333046417
should've told her to go home
>>333046806
I don't really care either, nigga, it's a gamestop stories thread, I figured I might as well tell a story that happened recently.
Woah
Hey Guys
Welcome to Junes
>>333044818

Unless you're getting a GS exclusive game, you literally have no reason to buy things from gamestop now that Prime members get 20% off new/ pre-ordered games.
>>333048614
>buy game
>have to wait two days for it to get here
wow man such a great idea
>>333048883

>One day she's gone
>A friend of mine also works in the store, so I ask him what happened to her
>He tells me that she was fired because her behavior towards the customers was deemed inappropriate according to the company’s policies

>>333049619
>she was fired because her behavior towards the customers was deemed inappropriate according to the company’s policies
>>333044818
I think I bought the devil may cry collection like 2 years ago, it was cheap.
I've been ordering online way before that though.
>>333044818

Nah man.
Videogame store clerks give zero shit most of the time.
I can easily believe one nerd who had that job was actually interested in finding another rare weeb in the area.

If you thought she was good, you should have said so to her manager. They don't always know. Complaints are more common than compliments, so any other time, they just go by policy.
>>333049315
>Pay for a game 2 days early to get a 20% discount and home delivery
Are you just retarded or underage? Not quite sure at this point.
>>333044818

Can't remember. Must have bought something for the PS3 years back. Sold the console and all the games after I got a decent PC, so can't check back on them.
>>333044818
I work at my local EB, so the last game I bought was Nights of Azure, and a used Kirby's Return to Dreamland.

The memes keep rolling. I'll enjoy spending my well earned money from my job elsewhere since I'm a smart consumer. Enjoy your mommy's basement.
>>333050515
what a qt
>>333051629
I still get games cheaper than you because I wait until they go down in price after like, two weeks.
Stupid fuck.
>>333051629

I wonder if his rise to infamy akin to how his head rises from his chest drove him insane.

No money for the devs/publishers, only money to the store. If you buy DLC for it you further are the cancer of DLC. Have you considered being a pirate at least so you don't give those stores any more money?
>>333044818
bought bayonetta and nier for the 360. finished bayo, need to start on the other
>>333044818
Starcraft 2 on Day one.
I'm still bitter about it, ruining my all time favorite franchise like that.
>>333045140
ahahahaha you lame ass weeb nigga look at this cover art baka
>go to GameStop
>bring in some games to trade in
>trade them in for the advertised value because I feel that the trade-off is worth it against having to list it online and wait a few weeks just for video games
>look at my options for purchasing games
>decide to buy a used copy of Majora's Mask 3D because it is fairly cheap compared to what the offered price online is and the trade-in credit makes it a relative steal
>purchase the game and talk to the cashier who is generally a cool guy
>leave and get in my car, open up the little baggie thing that my game comes in
>slot it in my 3DS, expecting it to work
>it works
>go home and do the little survey, say that it was a good experience, don't get a reward
>feel satisfied that I at least tried and play MM3D for a few hours before going to sleep
>>333044818
I think it was Yakuza 3, long, long time ago.

>>333044818
Battlefield 3, early 2012. Played like a month before quitting.
>>333050716
I doubt anyone was complaining about her, the problem is that Gamestop's policy insists that you push every new AAA title coming out on customers.
>>333050198
>write a thesis defending pedophiles and child pornography
>moonlight as an adult model (and/or a camgirl, I have yet to see a source for that)
>insult fans and call gamers misogynistic
>do this while working at a company whose target audience is children
Fuck, it has nothing to do with a cultural narrative or whatever, she was just the most fireable person in the history of people getting fired.
The worst part about it, though, was hearing all the people on Twitter talk about how great of a person she was. I doubt they had even heard of her beforehand.
>>333044818
Diablo 3.
The notepad it came with saw far more use than the game did until RoS was released.
