Part man...part beast...full psycho!

In other "Gamestop is a rip" news... As suspicious as all that is (and it is, I'm pretty sure the guy who said they kept a fuckton of unsealed copies for this occasion was telling the truth), they kinda have every right to do so. NOA was not even willing to bring this game to North America and wouldn't have done so without Gamestop, which granted them partial exclusivity to sell the game. It's, technically, THEIR game, and they have every right to sell it at whatever price they want. At the end of the day, as expensive as it is, there are used copies going for $130 on the internet, so for people who didn't get the game, they'd essentially be getting an (allegedly) brand new copy of a limited title for $90, which is what they'd pay for any other limited edition title. I mean, fuck Gamestop for squandering a chance to be Good Guy Greg on this and win back the gaming crowd they've been effectively fucking over for like, half a decade, but hey, their loss. Back to this topic, they got wind of that statement about them printing more and have backpedaled claiming they've been going around buying the shit out of whoever's selling their copies. They're apparently doing this with a lot of "rare" titles, like Metroid Prime Trilogy as well, so expect them to pop up soon at ludicrous prices.

On that note, isn't it possible that they might be working on a HL2 Episode 3 instead?

BL;DR Posts: 3,493 Group: Elite Member #80 Joined: September 7, 2010	Sega and its treatment of Sonic for the longest time is a good reason exactly why you shouldn't take all criticism on board as-is - it's something that has to be analyzed for merits, checked for long term implications, and honestly just approached with some plain fucking common sense. We haven't seen a second playable character since freakin' Sonic '06, and they know they can make it work - the Wisps in Colours and Lost World are proof enough of that on their own - but they won't do it because they unduly believe it will be weighed down by preconceptions that started around that very same era, most of which they've already outlived. Just fucking make a decent game and leave it at that. Only involve fan feedback if you're absolutely sure there won't be any downsides to it. Because really, if the games are still fantastic to play regardless of whether the developers, quote, "listen to the fans", those same people get called out for being fucking retarded when they try to call devs out on not listening to them.

Hope you didn't sell your copy.

	--- Quote: Blacklightning Nov 14 2011, 02:48 AM I like it when people use the word "gay" in any context other than a homosexual one - it only proves that they have the maturity of a five year old, as if their obsession with shooters didn't already do a good job of pointing that out. It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms. But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit. game - gun = gay game + gun = -gay game + gun + Arem = ??? Founder of #TeamArem
