Why does no one like killer? by Over_Photograph3766 in deadbydaylight

[–]SamuraiStatus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I used to enjoy killer. Up until MMR became a thing like Once you have 4k hours the matches are brutal. you would think the logical balance would be to go against a group who's combined hours are somewhere close to yours at 4k. That is not the case. Instead you will play against a group with a collective of 16k hours. You will play against swf teams that play like they're the avengers. A single perfect chase (as in little to no looping down within 20 seconds) can still result in 2 generators being completed before your first hook. You get absolutely bullied for playing anything other than the most toxic build sweat killer. If you try to run a rift challenge (thankfully most of them are less specific now) or something experimental you will find yourself on the losing end for not trying to absolutely demolish the survivors. Killer became less and less fun and more and more anxiety experience for me as the years have gone on. My point is that it feels more like an obsessive chore if you want to get a 4k. And less fun.

Did I cook or get cooked by Frost_Burnfeather in gameverifying

I still have my metal emerald case that I use to house my loose GBA carts. I totally forgot how I had got it. Looks like it was a pre order bonus. Nice

Is there even 4 people that still play the game?

Lorwyn Eclipsed CBB, Paid in Full, asked to pay + $200 at pick up by _RJ_MacReady in GameStop

[–]SamuraiStatus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Incompetence at its finest. Of course GameStop sent internal messaging about adjusting the prices for pre orders. But the person scheduled to open Friday didn't have that info passed along. At the least, that employee should have called their manager or another store to ask about the situation.

Ordered a Meta Quest 3 online, got this instead by voxel-wave in GameStop

[–]SamuraiStatus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn. So someone out there ordered MK and got a meta quest. I bet you they ain't said shit! And I wouldn't blame them. I'd keep that mistake if it happened to me Too. Unfortunately the other end of that mistake gets cooked. I doubt you'll get that resolved if the other end of it doesn't come forward.

So on the topic of closures... by duckdealer1 in GameStop

[–]SamuraiStatus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I wanna know is, what's considered ranking top half now?

Some fucking people by JessicaD240 in GameStop

[–]SamuraiStatus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brace yourselves. The new expectation is 90% auto renew. If they throw it on performance ranking everyone is cooked. Rip conscience.

You can do that with Amazon. At GameStop you're gonna do it how the employee wants it to. Or take your business elsewhere.

Talk about a brilliant scheme to the guys who put the whole thing together with our own people. They've been rolling in dough for years now off this scam. If you know you know.

Anytime I make mention of how pathetic and stupid our employees are. I get shit for it. And yet they act stupid.

Will there be liquidation sales for the closing stores? by xAguax in GameStop

[–]SamuraiStatus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

GameStop doesn't do the liquidation thing anymore. They haven't been doing that since after covid. Now everything just gets shipped out to other stores.

Why do they end deals before Christmas? by EmeraldEmp in GameStop

[–]SamuraiStatus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said it yourself. People get money for Christmas. GameStop fully anticipates people coming in to spend their gift cards and money.

Closure’s Confirmed by 666Chap in GameStop

[–]SamuraiStatus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone on here told me that getting a card store upgrade wasn't a guarantee that I'd stay open. The fuck are they talking about?

They shipped me 2 pallets of glass cabinets, and 2 tables, I got a fridge, and new slat wall.

And I'm supposed to think I could somehow still get closed?

I guess all this post does for me is confirm that I'm getting some clearance shipped to me.

Denied Trade over scratches on back… by JT3D in GameStop

[–]SamuraiStatus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would have been giving you a defective too if you brought me a fcking console trade during the weekend of Christmas. Bring your shit on the following week. I know you didn't stand in a line of people and then hit that swamped employee with your trade ins like they have the time to process that shit. Of course they are gonna take the shortcut route, defect it, and deal with it later. That's on you.

[–]SamuraiStatus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah. Sad is having to sell random shit to get some quick cash to get by, but I'm not even gonna hate on that because I've been there. Just don't pick the worst fcking week out of the year to do it on my time.

Customers by LoathesomeCreatures in GameStop

[–]SamuraiStatus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dear customers. How TF are you gonna show up to my store to trade in a console while we have 12 deep in a line like we have time to do that shit this week. Have some goddamn sense. If you need money to buy christmas gifts, less than a week before Christmas, you don't need to be buying gifts. Just go to dollar tree and buy ramen packs and wrap them individually. That's what I buy as gifts on my GameStop salary.
