Moment I walked in there was a dude in a Naruto shirt saying Call of duty is right over there hands me the game and tells me to head to the register. I say I don't want call of Duty he then grabs assassins creed, I say I don't want this either. And Fat rear end there is blocking the way. Fat rear end number 2 is walking around wearing a mario cap while I see fat rear end 3 and 4 obscuring a wall of amiibos and what turned out to be a center rack of amiibos. Arms crossed with a dead pan serious look on their faces. Anyways Fat Guy in a mario cap is scrolling through his phone and fat guy in the naruto shirt starts making these faux SWAT hand gestures because I apparently breached their perimeter. Another guy is yelling on the phone yelling at his mother to come down here because he doesn't have enough money for the amiibos and that's when I put everything together that a bunch of spergs commandeered a Funcoland for their plastic toys somehow. Mario cap fat dude was not chill at all. He thought I was some sort of spy for scalpers because I did not look like the gamer type at all according to his expert opinion among all his other opinions. But 11 games made the trainwreck of humanity was just a cherry on top. Because the store selling Castlevania SOTN for 5 bucks with 2 other games was too good a deal to pass up, and Contra is in there too.

Most retro stores I know of have lists or some poo poo where they call preferred customers on a list first since they have a list of what these people want and what they will pay for. So all the good stuff never really hits the floor. I really can't say that I have found a retro store that I have actually liked because yeah everything is over priced. They only seem good for deals on last generations games before they become too rare. Like I found Primal for 2 bucks. But I'm always looking for spare game cases but none of these places keep those either. So again I have to get stuff online like if I want some blank genesis cases, gamecube cases, DS cases, or PS2 cases. Also none of them will take just instruction booklets or anything so if you're missing a booklet they won't even let you purchase a booklet out of an already open game or parcel stuff out. Hell one store I know of takes disc only/cart only games and prints up perfect replica covers and sells them as complete. I squezzed their register girl for information on what they use because she was printing up a whole slew of cases and booklets.

A Spider Covets posted:following the angry birds theme, i think there should be a thread about birds in games, comparing their AI and textures and stuff to see which one is the best. My favorite gaming birds were the ones in Rogue Squadron Episode One: Battle for Naboo because due to fuckery with the game's engine they counted as enemy units so you could pad out your score by shooting them down and when you did they would burst into flames and explode.

If you think about it, GameStop is a microcosm of the entire games industry: a place that's terrible to work at and requires a lot more stress and personal involvement than most comparable jobs in the same field, so the people it attracts are uniformly awful because any sane and competent person can get better pay for less work elsewhere.

I worked at a Gamestop in highschool, it was incredibly boring because the store didn't get much business so I'd just spend a bunch of time organizing shelves and trying to look busy, and about half the customers were way grosser and more annoying than anybody who worked there, except me, of course, because I'm disgusting

All I know is Gamestop was created in 1999 and they started to suck after they discontinued carrying the 16 bit systems and it really became bad once they stopped carrying the PS1 and N64. then they merged Babbages, EB and Funco all into a single thing. The Stores have way less variety to them since all they carry are the most current systems with some backlog. But even now they're clearing out the xbox 360 section because Microsoft has become a toxic thing to carry and nobody is buying it.

Good story taint reaper, I could smell the sweat on fat Mario, very vivid. I'll go into the small retro shops to look at their collections and reminisce about old games but since I don't collect, there isn't much to buy there. A one near me even has some Atari/2600 stuff at a not-terrible price, it's neat to thumb through. The clientele is grodier than the 30 year old games however. EBgames on the other hand is a loving wasteland. They don't carry much of anything useful new or old on the average day and just bank on selling out new releases in the loving age of Amazon and digital distribution.

Gamestop is going to be selling all the old as poo poo consoles and games again online. Expect Gray market stuff according to the retro store guys I talked to, this apparently has them concerned because while it's all online gamestop has the biggest pockets so they can swoop in and purchase the motherload.

I've only put a couple hours in. Ship customization is really complex. Especially given that the real time combat seems kinda hard to actually influence. The ships have their own AI and such. Race customization and the tech system/tech is ripped directly from MOO2. I mean directly, one-to-one analogue, borderline legally actionable ripped. I'd definitely be curious on other people's thoughts or a thread to talk about it in (found this by searching 'stardrive' to see if there was one).
