Exactly.
Let them do as they please.I see. Well, I'm just sad to see many people switching to rentals because of all the rumors. Anyway, have we got any new impressions of this game? I would love to hear those
probably luck of the draw as to who rang him up. I just can't believe they refused to sell it after telling me they'd hold a couple of copies and for me to drive up there

You can't borrow the copy from your friend? He should be done by now.
I'm just kidding.
I almost spit out my cereal.

If people want to rent the game, its up to them. Everyone values what they want in a game differently. Plus, $60 might be a bit much for them to put down on launch day even if they want to have the experience right away.
Nothing wrong with that.

$60 is a lot for me too. Thank god for Best Buy Gamers Club.

How good are you at throwing a fit?
not great apparently. I spoke with the store manager but she wouldn't budge, and their corporate contact number is closed today. They did give me a $25 gift card, but the fuck am I gonna use that for?
You can use the gift card to get $25 off the game when it comes out... Sounds like a sweet deal to me.

They need quantity over quality experience and also don't want something new experience. Most of the users these days got addicted to more action and multiplayer games, so they are not going to appreciate no matter how good the story, sound, atmoshphere etc., in single player game and they need multiplayer and many hours repetitive game to have fun instead of few quality hours of content something good.
That seems like good compensation for giving you false hope on the phone.
Many of the games this game competes against is providing a lot of people a lot of value, perceived or otherwise.
Not being traded in is a big concern for publishers and unfortunately that influences the kind of games are being made.

anyone in nyc spot any in the wild?
TBH, that situation is slightly different for first party. Their objective is to justify their platform as well as make money directly on game sales. I'd say this is one of the reasons that first party games are often held up to a higher standard.
I for one, appreciate the fact that first parties have fewer constraints in creative freedom that third parties couldn't countenance.
I'm 100% with you. I would say the further game software is from the investor the better it is for games that take creative risks in the big budget realm.
That way they are also less beholden to hitting financial quarters when needed.
The release dates of course are still influenced by external factors like strategic needs but it's still one big reason less to not give a game the extra months they might need.

I just came back from Walmart with a copy. Had to pour on the charm to get the manager to override it; she said don't tell anybody or I'll come get you, so I told her don't threaten me with a good time. My wife wasn't with me of course!
I'll check into the impression thread in a couple of hours. I know man, it sucks; I would have been pissed too if I was you.
