Why are people paying 60 dollars for games when the Amazon/Steam pre-order discounts bring it down to around 48 in almost all cases

Not everyone has Prime, not everyone lives in America, not everyone plays games on PC.


Not everyone pre-orders games. :ssh:

Yeah prime is like 100 bucks a year or something so you need to be buying a lot of games to make that discount work for you

I mean I'd make that back in like a month of games buying but my Prime discount is £2 off games, wooo.....

Canadian Gamestop? EB? Amazon? does a promotion where all E3 games are cheap to pre-order for a while after the show so they go nuts I guess, even if they might not be out for three years.

My experience with the chip has been that the chip wears out infinitely faster than the strip and is already getting read errors in brand new POS terminals with a less than year old card which is great when each attempt takes like 20 seconds and a lot of terminals don't let you give up and swipe until the chip fails 3 times.

My chip card has been through the washing machine at least two or three times in the three years I've had it and still works fine. Card is a bit bendy though.

Are vials really that hard to come by later? I feel like I can't get enough of them right now. I try not to use them unless I'm fighting a boss, in the middle of a long, extended trek, or I just fought something is probably going to drop one and I'm missing a little health. I don't think I've ever used 10 or more, it just seems like at the point where you need that much healing, you're already dead.

Buying vials with blood echoes is the easiest way to not run out and way more time effective than farming them.

Couldn't care less about the Castlevania TV series since we're never getting another game anyway, so if it's good, cool, if it's bad, who cares?

There's very few locations where NPC hunters are worth it to be honest, they don't do much damage and are only really useful as a distraction which isn't really worth the extra health and defence the bosses get. Summon a real person or solo imo.

Nope they had season passes for Mario Kart and Hyrule Warriors, two for the latter after the 3DS version came out.

They did kind of the same thing with Twilight Princess HD requiring an Amiibo to unlock Hero Mode, which was the most low effort thing ever, so I guess that worked out for them.

Most of the actual DLC for other Nintendo games has been pretty high quality and worth the price so hopefully this will be too.

Yeah there's no story or anything really (outside of the Untold remakes) and it's probably the most user friendly.
The only real reason not to is if you're planning on playing the earlier games at some point you should do that first since they'll be hard to go back to after 4.

Okay I beat Ursula. Grinding out just one level and putting on Thundara Rings helped big time. Please tell me no more levels take place in the ocean (Monstro doesn't count) because in video games combat and navigation is not necessarily better down where it's wetter.


I like everything about your username/avatar/title combo

Ursula is basically designed to teach you that Aero is the most broken spell in the game
