Things That s**t Me (Video Game edition)

[edgie]

I have a mate banned from several EBs for abusing the 7 day return policy. Literally all he does is game, buys it, plays it, returns it. They make zero money off allowing him to play a new game for a week. I imagine there's more people like him that make their business difficult at times.

 

[Quivorir]

Have done that several times. Now I am just too lazy and buy digital.

7 day returns and price matching, pretty much the only reason i buy from EB.

If anyone pays the full EB price on new games, well, they will deserve my derision

 

[Mingo]

I buy the occasional second hand game from EB very rarely over $20. Also occasionally buy stuff from their pop culture offshoot cause my brother and sister in law are massive nerds.

Things that s**t me, FIFA edition.

My best player always demands a transfer. Always! I'm playing as Burnley and first choice keeper/captain/highest rated player Tom Heaton demands a transfer. So I sell him off and have to play my spud back up until the next transfer period.

The only game I ever abused the 7 day policy on was The Order and I don't regret that.

I wish I had done it for No Man's Sky as well

I made a custom player (Jay Schulz) who became the leagues best striker. Broke my heart when he demanded a transfer. I didn't oblige though.

That's not abuse though. It's your right to return something you aren't happy with. My mate just goes through every single new release doing it.

The only time I used their 7 day return policy was with Sonic Boom. EB games could only let me exchange the game, I will never get that 30 minutes of my life back however.

I returned Mercenaries 2 (because it was awful) and Turok (because it took 2 hours to finish). Can't think of any i've returned since but it's good to have up the sleeve

 

[edgie]

Mercenaries 1 was so good. Wonder how it would go down in todays climate...

Mercs 1 was one of my fave ever games on the OG Xbox. Deck of cards was a great idea that no game has replicated.

Mercs 2 on the other hand was an extremely poor effort

Completely agree with the EB hate but if you look through their sales you can find some pretty good deals. Found this bit of value today.

When I shopped at EB I only returned 2 games. One was because I got really bad motion sickness from it (timeshift). The other was a Kinect game that I returned hours after buying it because the disc was scratched to buggery. They tried to get me to buy another game but I was like nup... refund now!

Thats awesome value. Bout 30 games or so for 50 bucks pretty much.

When you spend an hour trying (and finally succeeding) to pass a level in a game that should have only taken 20 minutes.... save and quit the game, only to come back and see that it didn't save so you have to redo the same frustrating level again.

Playing Stellaris. Built a massive fleet. Decided its time to take on the Awakened Empire (pretty much the Vorlon who are up and about). And anytime my fleets go near theirs the game becomes a screensaver.

Or if you pass a level in a game but only just (or do something wrong so miss out on secondary objectives/quests). So you decide to do it again. And can't.

Currently the Prarie King can GAGF.

More broadly idiotic trophy linked mini games.

Only ever game I've return was AFL a couple weeks ago. I felt dirty.

If the game wasn't good then don't feel guilty. It's up to them to deliver a better game worthy of your money.

Wish Xbox store price matched so I could get JB prices for digital downloads

People who say gaming is for kids and parents that complain about their kids gaming and not going outside to play.

No Auto-save in Persona 5, if any game needed this feature its this.
