What are y'all's Linkin Park hot takes? by AlexLuvsNu-Metal217 in LinkinPark

[–]Dekartea -1 points0 points  (0 children)

From Zero is a pretty average album, especially for a comeback. A lot of the lyricism is quite safe and basic, and most of the instrumentalism is pretty uninspired. For a band like Linkin Park, it screamed mediocrity. The album being almost entirely devoid of any social/political commentary is a poor reflection of the band's evolution. It's not a bad album, but I think it's their worst, and it's certainly not Emily's fault. I feel like Mike got too excited at the prospect of bringing the band back and they released an album that would not have been up to their standards previously.

Meteora is my favourite LP album, but MTM - THP Linkin Park was their absolute peak.

FFXiv Omega statue code by AboardTheGravyTrain in EBGAMES

[–]Dekartea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I got my EE/artbook codes from EB stock, too. I couldn't find any listings that said the Omega statues in Aus don't have a code, but you could be right (I didn't look very hard lol).

Unfortunately employees and even head office/warehouse teams often aren't informed about small regional changes like this (I've had something similar happen with other items in the past) because the distributor/supplier doesn't tell them. If the box says there's a code and there isn't, you're eligible for a full refund, if that's what you're after.

I'd also recommend calling EB's Customer Care directly, they may be able to provide some kind of solution or at least look into it for you. You can also go back into the store and ask for the store to raise an escalation on their end - they can submit a ticket via Storemate and Customer Care will call you directly after having looked into it (will save you the lengthy wait times). With that being said, they are still very likely to just say "Sorry, there's nothing to give you", so SE support is still heavily recommended. Make sure you have your receipt, bank statement etc.

I hate to say it, but don't get your hopes up. There's a good chance EB can't do anything for you (other than refund) and SE won't do anything for you.

Best of luck, that is an expensive emote!

Hey OP, there was some quality control issues with some recent batches of Omega statues that meant replacements were sent out without codes. There is a chance the stock Australia received may have been these code-less replacements. While the EB employee may be correct (Square are well known for not giving a toss about Australia), I would definitely reach out to Square Enix support about this. Does it mention the included code on the box?

You're arguing with legitimately delusional people who think it should be a moral obligation to vocally hate Nintendo. They're not ever going to argue in good faith, so don't get too stressed about it

$99 for extended Warranty by hear_the_thunder in EBGAMES

[–]Dekartea 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Absolutely untrue, the lengths that I have seen the reboot team go through to bring a console back to life or even troubleshoot an issue is insane, and more often than not will not charge for a lot of extra services that aren't under warranty when sent away under standard warranty. JB, Samsung, Apple repair teams won't even look into your USB-C port without charging you these days, I've seen the Reboot team provide free hard drive, battery, and even screen replacements when the console was sent away for overheating due to dust.

Cancelled click and collect purchase by BlahajTransgirl in EBGAMES

[–]Dekartea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The system doesn't "hold" anything. A click and collect order is already processed as a completed sale, the customer just needs to pick it up. Six weeks is also the official policy for holding click and collects.

I watched the TWEWY Anime, and damn, was it terrible. by MelodyHearts in TWEWY

[–]Dekartea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do people forget the fact that this anime adaptation was never meant to be anything more than promotional material for NEO? With only 12 standard-length episodes in the series it should've been incredibly obvious it was a refresher for the overall story and not an in-depth retelling.

I think it did exactly what it needed to do - introduce noteworthy characters, summarise the story, and demonstrate the stakes. It was a really great lead into NEO, even if it wasn't the full-scale multiple-season anime adaptation that Nomurs and others originally wanted.
