i saw Anthem at £4.99 at my nearest GAME shop.
there were so many copies of it sitting there as well. even a fiver is too much to ask apparently.

We did this at my store it was kinda a meme that went around so a bunch of stores did itBefore NBA 2K19 came out, a GameStop near me had a cardboard cutout of LeBron in a Cavs jersey and someone had written "Lakers lol" on a piece of paper and taped it to the front of the jersey.
That sounds like an Era posterGamestop manager passionately arguing with a small (10 years old or younger) child that while Breath of the Wild was a great game, it wasn't a great Zelda game.
This story sounds like the kind of people the people in this thread are complaining/making fun of...
Jim, was that you?!Not really in a game store but a Wendy's
Many years ago, me and my friends were at a line at Wendy's, talking about videogames since it was E3 week that time. The guy in front of us turned around and went into a sudden ramble about micro transactions and how they would be the downfall Of the industry. He finished rambling and just like that took his order and left.

Went to gamestop today to pick up Altirera Roronoa Xtrme deluxe ver.2 (this one includes bikinis for all the female assistants and a cat outfit for Reiko-chan). Anyway I had my pre-order and went to pick it up during lunch break. I had the standard edition ordered at amazon but I couldn't wait and wanted something to stare at at work. I decided to browse what else they had in stock (lol yearly sports games) when I heard a mother buying call of duty on the xbone. Can't stand annual sequels let alone dudebro of duty but I was shocked she was considering this. I had to let her know.
She said it was for her 10 year old son which I guess explains it as kids mostly play it. Anyways I politely informed her how the xbone ver. Is capped at 30fps and 720p. She didn't know what I meant so I explained how resolution and framerate effect games. I showed her the digital foundry article comparing the ps4 ver along with side by side videos. She was still set on getting the xbone ver. Which left me mad. Here I was presenting her with PROOF of how the ps4 ver is superior but she wouldn't listen. Oh well, I don't care but let's see what her stupid son thinks when he sees that. Lol and I know GameStop offed no refunds on unsealed games lol!
Anyways. I got to the counter and there was this obnoxious worker chatting to a female worker. I already hated him since he looked like a douche and was womanising at work. He kept smiling at people which was uncomfortable to watch. I told him about my preorder of Roronoa and he said "WHAT, can u speak more loudly sir" ummm I have aspergers/add/ocd/korn so that's how I speak. I don't need no douche who's probably a high school drop out tell me now to speak. Anyway the female worker begins to prepare my game and slightly laughs when she sees it. There's a reason why I don't date 3D human girls and that's why. It's pretty pathetic how Mieko-chama from the horrible hyper Neptune has a better personality then her. And she's a 6th tier maho shoujo in that game :lol.
So the douche asks me if id like to pre-order last of us remastered. I was completely enraged. How dare he ask me to pre Oder something. I'm only here for Roronoa. If I wanted to make conversation id speak with my FRIENDS (on IRC) and this just makes me feel awkward. I twitched and mumbled no. After 10 seconds he asked if I wanted to pre order Titan fall. At this point I lost it (mentally inside) do I look like I fucking have an xbone? Why the fuck would I pay $500 for inferior hardware, inferior ports, no Japanese support and worst of all, support M$. Argghggh. Anyway I mumbled no again and after paying made a for a quick exit.
As I was leaving I bumped into a young woman. I quickly tried moving so not to be a burden but she utters "sorry?" In a condenscending voice, as if I owe her something. It was an ACCIDENT and we were both at fault. Why the fuck do I have to apologise and waste breathe. I awkwardly mumbled something and moved. At that point her douche of a bf appeared and shouted "u better walk away!"........."The last person who said that ended up in hospital" is what I should have said, but I quickly apologised and made for my office. God this country is so fucked. Counting the days till I move Asakusa (20 mins on the hibiya line from Akihabara!)
I'm sitting here now in my office reading the Roronoa manual along with the artbook and I'm still shaking. First it appears they've changed Hinata-chans age from 13 to 16......ummmmmm ok.....? Wish this was announced beforehand but whatever. This is why I never shop at GameStop as it's not the first time I've had a bad experience. but the ver.2 Xtrme edition was exclusive to them.....
I'm not sure what to do at this point. I'm considering calling up his boss and telling him what happened today. Anyway, gotta get back to work, sorry, just had to get this off my chest. I'll post screens and leave impressions of Roronoa after work! Used my vacation time so I have the whole week off for this!
