The Coop

Like we expect a reviewer to base their review of a game on having played through it, people expect her to base her claims in this video series on having actually played through the games she uses as examples. It would show that she saw all of the game's elements (story, visual scenes, character types, etc.), read through the manuals (which often contain more story elements... especially with older games), and experienced it all for herself to get the full context of the game's events. This would give a greater understanding of the trope example within the game, as it would show if it's an incidental one that doesn't represent the game and its content as a whole, or a truly toxic one that the whole game runs with. It would give her arguments via examples a better sense of being informed, because she'd know if any parts of the rest of the game she's using contradict her statements. So in that sense, it is important, and does matter... especially with a touchy and volatile subject like this. Now, I don't know if she pulled a cliff notes on her games, played through them all, or did a bit of both. As such, I'm not going to defend or accuse her, because that wouldn't be fair. That said, "Did she actually play those games completely?" isn't an unfair question to ask at the moment, given what's been shown, and what it potentially alludes to (namely, her possibly cherry-picking only what works for her argument, without ever actually playing the game to get its full scope and context).

She'll address it after the final video comes out in 2024

Enjoy your ulcer when she starts being approached by boys in about 14 years

Yep. Definitely Spawn. Yep.

Um, that doesn't really contradict what DS said. New, gutted games, don't stop being new 14-30 days after they're gutted. They're still new, and shouldn't be going to anyone's home until someone actually buys them. And if they do get taken home by an employee to play (which I've personally heard talked about by those I knew who worked at Gamestops as managers), still selling them as "new" is complete and utter bullshit.

It's not always hating for the sake of hating, PriZm. Some just dislike Gamestop because of their practices regarding how they treat their employees, merchandise, and their customers. Gamestop has a less than stellar record in those areas.

Not a big haul, but... Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition Deadlight: Soundtrack Edition Ether Vapor Remaster Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition Steel Storm: Burning Retribution Titan Attacks Torchlight II Not bad for $32. I almost bought Tomb Raider, since my old rig might actually be able to run it decently, but $12.49 just wasn't in the cards by the time it went on flash sale last night. Strike Suit Zero would have been nice, but it doesn't run on XP, so I'm SOL there. I also broke down and bought Sine Mora, a funky little shmup from Greenmangaming (which gave me a Steam code)... two days before it went on sale on Steam for $2.49. The game's good and worth what I paid, but still, that was just mean.

Since I had to update one of the aspects of the GUS installer part, I figured I'd bump this thread.

The butthurt is strong in that featured blog.

It should say...

Japan gets left in the cold. No China either. Not that Microsoft's systems were big sellers in either country.

I wonder if Microsoft is going to do a 180 on their stance regarding used games. Probably not, but one can hope. Maybe they'll change their mind, then change it back again so that a 360 pun can live.
