Oh for sure, it'd be better if they did away with them completely, but like, I like the idea behind them a lot rather than the actual gameplay purpose they serve.

In sorta the same vein, the courage options early in P4 where it's like Ask Yukiko For Her Number that couldn't be gotten unless you were on New Game+ was super dumb because they did was go like "Oh....yeah sure here ya go"
which i guess is funny because that's usually the response you get when asking new friends their number but for teenagers you really would feel you needed Rank 5 Courage to ask a girl that

IIRC it is literally impossible to get the top exam score for the first round of midterms without doing New Game+ in P5. So there's still some random bullshit like that.

That's in keeping with 3 and 4, though, and in neither case did that matter. It's still kind of dumb gating things into NG+ but as long as you can max all links on NG then meh.

Actually, that's another real question I had: What is gated behind NG+? Optional boss? Anything?

I ended up liking yukiko more than chie by the end, because chie got more uninteresting the farther I got into her social link which was the opposite for most others. She peaked in the first arc.

Yukiko is in an unfortunate position of being pretty bad but an understandable kind of bad, and she still manages to be better then almost everyone else.

It's looking like I might have to get P5 in Gamestop. :cripes: It's not on either Smyths or Argos sites. Argos usually don't show things until they're released though.

Yukiko likes scary stories and the others do not so she wins by default.

Because I wouldn't be able to get on it release date then.

I don't live in a country where you can get Prime shipping or anything like that. They always post stuff here the day it's released, even if you pre-order.

Amazon US offers release date delivery sometimes, but not on all items or to all locations, and they can and do still gently caress it up anyway sometimes

After my copy of Bloodborne failed to ship until late on release day I p much decided I wouldn't pre-order games I was really hype to play at launch there anymore

Weird. Prime is pretty much 100% guaranteed, but then again you can cross all of Germany in a car in about 7 hours, from north to south.

But they'll ship mine on the 3rd,and it will arrive on the 4th between 11 and 5pm

Then again, we don't get the 20% prime preorder discount

Apparently the ps3 versions aren't preorderable via PSN

I'd say they're around 10% for me in the American Midwest. So 9 out of 10 release day games I get come at minimum a day late.

I think part of my problem is that they don't let you pick shipping and for my area it always goes USPS which may as well be sent on a hope and a prayer.

True, we can't pick shipping here as well. You can force them to use DHL, but soon Amazon might open their own Delivery Service due to quality issues with DHL/Deutsche Post, so guaranteed delivery might not happen once that's a thing.

How is Amazons own service in the US?

It's varies depending on the seller but Amazon will try their best to get to you if you near their warehouses iirc they offer the same day delivery too. Also I'm not a Prime member and my purchases aren't exactly time-sensitive :v:

I live in Idaho and Amazon has missed one release date delivery. But, we got like a foot and a half of snow the night before. So I understand.

20 percent discount is worth any inconvenience.
