Tbh the biggest appeal of HZD is that every time I play it I feel like playing the very much superior Witcher 3 again.

I worked at a locally-owned video store for 4 years and it was the best job I ever had

I worked at a video store for 3 years in high school and it absolutely ruled. It was exactly like the movie Empire Records. You incidentally watch every movie and play every new video game despite not owning any consoles lol

One of the nice things about Game Pass is that you can also earn points which in turn can be used to extend your Game Pass subscription. Personally, I think it's great. There's a lot of games that I had never heard of prior to the service that I tried and loved. Never heard of Journey to the Savage Planet, downloaded on a whim, loved every minute.

fridge corn posted:looking at the Gamepass library there's almost nothing on there that I would be interested in playing that i haven't already played. Maybe if i had gotten on it at the start of the gen I would have gotten some value out of it but atm it looks pretty barren of interesting titles This but for PS Plus Edit: like no joke, it hits hard and feels like I've burned money like the joker when one or more of the dripfeed ps plus games is something I already played or wouldn't want to play

Gamepass is why I don’t even bother to spend money on mid tier games I kind of only want to play since they always seem to end up there. And then every now and then you get some real Day 1 gems like Streets of Rage 4.

We would have movies playing on a TV in the store but I would usually just put Simpsons or Seinfeld DVDs on.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:This but for PS Plus Yeah I agree actually. The ps+ offerings are usually pretty poor. I refused to sign up for the longest time only finally doing so late last year to do some bloodborne coop with a buddy (which ended up never happening). I have gotten some mileage out of ps+ with the ps+ collection convientiently coinciding with getting a ps5 right at the start of a 6 week furlough, giving me loads of time to play persona 5 and MHW. Of course MHW would have been useless without ps+ anyway cuz I wouldn't have been able to hunt mons with fellow goons otherwise But other than that I've played maquette which is a bit of a disappointment, lady corn downloaded concrete genie and played it for about an hour, and I claimed but didnt download control ultimate edition cuz I already platted the game on ps4. At least ps+ is relatively cheap and comes with other benefits even if the complementary game selection is a bit disappointing. I assume xbox live or whatever their equivalent of the "pay twice to use the internet" service is a separate subscription from gamepass?

And gold was going to get a 2x price hike before the Internet collectively showed them the finger.

The worst numbers game disguised as an action game is God of War where it took me a while to realize enemies are invulnerable to your attacks and their attacks become unblockable for some reason if your gear level is too low.

How did this idea even make it to the announcement stage? Did they really think enough people would just go “oh well guess I’ll pay double” instead of “guess I’m just canceling and/or switching to another console” Holy moly

Quantum of Phallus posted:The cynic in me thinks they announced it purely to get the goodwill of "rolling it back" That actually does make sense, although on the other hand if that was the play I would assume they would’ve rolled it back from a 60 dollar hike to a 5 or 10 dollar hike. A 10 dollar hike sounds pretty bad but when you were just faced with a 60 dollar hike it sounds pretty darn good!

Yeah Coca-Cola ‘Classic’ isn’t a good strategy and hasn’t proven the test of time. You actually just never recoup lost customers most of the time.

I preferred video stores pre Blockbuster takeover when they were all cluttered and full of weird poo poo you'd never heard of instead of stocking 200 copies of I Know What You Did Last Summer. My local store had a section just for those 80s japanese extreme gore movies lol.

hollywood video always seemed to have way more personality to me. that's what i think of when i think of the archetype of the classic video store. blockbuster by comparison was just a building with some tapes in it

There was also a place called IntaVideo that had a separate room for the adult films, so my father would joke that he was going to penetraVideo.

veni veni veni posted:Isn't it basically an independent video store that uses the Blockbuster name for novelty purposes? Not quite. Weedle posted:do they have anything good No. But also there's a Kevin Smith Netflix doc about it lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ov9ls_3tJ1Y morallyobjected posted:I was gonna say it had to be longer than that for you because it's just under 3 for me and I live south of you, but I guess going east first and then south really just is faster than the I-5 corridor. Definitely not. Hollywood for sure. But Also in Eugene when I was young we had a dope indie place called Flicks N Picks which was sort of renowned in the region. I preferred them for movie rentals, but Hollywood was closer and also did Genesis/PSX rentals. In PDX we have Movie Madness which I think might have the biggest collection in the entire country.
