Amazon Offering A Full Refund on Already-Opened Copies of Mass Effect 3 (http://www.analoghype.com/video-games/playstation-3-news/amazon-offering-a-full-refund-on-already-opened-copies-of-mass-effect-3/)

[Dudebro]

That page won't load for me, is it supposed to be funny or something? If it's a serious offer then why is it posted in this topic? Some fans were let down by the ending, big deal. Offering to take back open copies at this point is stupid, probably half will just be people who burned through it and want to get their money back like they would with any game.

It's serious, move it wherever you want, I don't care. Regarding the issue, I think this is quite the breakthrough, at least somebody somewhere along the pipeline cares about quality control. The page is not loading for me either, I think it might be overloading with trafiic as word is spreading. I was just there a few minutes ago though.

I'm a little confused. What exactly is the issue and what was of poor quality?

[samejamesbond]

The ending is supposedly horrific.

[Dudebro]

@steven- I ask why you put it here because this topic is for good things. So it looks like you think it's a great thing that a game is getting negative feedback or letting people down? I'm assuming you never played it, right?

I have been playing it and I think it's a great game so far. The ending might turn out to be meh but lots of games have lame endings. This one is getting so much attention because it's the end of trilogy that lets your decisions carry over with your character. Some people are mad because the ending is locked in, like you only get the one no matter what you choose. I think that's silly but that's just my opinion. Also some people are all upset because they included multiplayer(which is awesome btw). So some people are judging the entire game based on a mode they never have to play. It's pretty annoying.

@DN- Like I said to steven it's all about the ending and the addition of multiplayer. It's beyond stupid for Amazon to offer refunds on open games when there's nothing actually wrong with the game itself. I know lots of people beat the game within a day or two of release, now they can get their money back even if they liked the game.

[Seahawk]

You mad Capcom? Oh I think they mad.

Hackers unlock on-disc Street Fighter X Tekken DLC fighters (http://www.gamespot.com/news/hackers-unlock-on-disc-street-fighter-x-tekken-dlc-fighters-6366866)

[Dudebro]

Yeah now that's the kind of thing that belongs in here. Capcom tried to screw over it's customers again and people caught it right away. It's sad that most people bought the game anyways though. When I tried to talk about this on Xbox.com the fanboys got all defensive about it, morons.

[Slime Slayer]

>SH gets praise from DB for posting unfortunate news about Capcom >Steven gets criticized by DB for posting unfortunate news about EA

[Dudebro]

SH posted about Capcom putting characters on the disc that they will later charge for AND lying about it to customers. You posted about people unhappy with the ending of a game so they're gonna return it after playing all the way through it. Totally different.

So does this mean you were posting that because you're happy the game is getting negative feedback even though you never played it or really cared about it until now?

[Seahawk]

>SH gets praise from DB for posting unfortunate news about Capcom
>Steven gets criticized by DB for posting unfortunate news about EA

Not to rag on you but the circumstances are pretty different.

People were unsatisfied with a product (ME3) and ask for a refund in exchange for returning the product

vs.

People not wanting to pay for content on physical media they bought and own.

[Slime Slayer]

Mass Effect 3 also has day 1, on disc DLC, witch is also a part of their complaints, for frig sakes cut me some slack guys.

The day 1 DLC is the part included in the collectors edition, not the same as other day one DLC that is just to gouge customers. Collectors editions always get more stuff, I'm glad they did this so I could get it, the CE was sold out.

We're not ganging up on you, you're just wrong. Pout if you want but that's the truth.

[Dudebro]

The Capcom thing is perfectly suited to this topic imo. Capcom sold the game with 12 characters locked out but completely done. They're going to charge 20 bucks to unlock them making it an 80 dollar game if you want the complete set. A hacker found a way to unlock them and play them online and embarassed Capcom. Before that Capcom tried to pretend they were just incomplete placeholders or some other such nonsense but then some people unlocked them and found out they're completely done. This is a good thing because it brings this scam to the front of the gaming news and makes people mad at Capcom for doing it.


But I don't wanna discuss it anymore so here's a commercial I think is really funny.

Take away the pink hair, geek glasses and knee-highs and you got an average looking girl though.

[Dudebro]

Well why would you take those things away?

[Slime Slayer]

Well why would you take those things away?
You don't, but I'd rather have a girl that didnt need them.

[Dudebro]

Well it's not like she's ugly without it. We're not talking about a bunch of make up hiding a butter face.

[DrunkN]

You don't, but I'd rather have a girl that didnt need them.
So you're saying that when it comes to appearances, you prefer the standard looking chick?

Maybe the geeky-girl didn't need them either.

I'm saying that if you took away the cosmetics, she is an average looking girl. Even with them she's nothing special i.m.o.

I agree with DB. EA sucks but I bet that contest was rigged - online polls are incredibly easy to rig and shouldn't be trusted.

Not everyone has a few hundred extra dollars.

[Kong]

Especially guys with girlfriends.

Well with no money they cant take the old lady out anyway so they'd be better off with the Ipad.

---------- Post added at 11:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 PM ----------

Also if they don't have a few hundred dollars they should probably get off their stupid I pad get a second job and support their lazy ass.

[Demon-Mask]

I don't think they had Ipads in the first place.

I don't think they had Ipads in the first place.

I was assuming they were just given one for not having girlfriends.

I was assuming it was a hypothetical.

[Slime Slayer]

Well don't sweat it, this may sound weird, but I don't even remember my first time. I seriously have no clue if it was 10 years ago... or maybe 15. It's all just one big blur, I've dated girls and could'nt tell you if we had sex or not.

[warghoul]

I realize it was all hypothetical but I said something you said something and now we're here.
I still think they should get a second job buy an I pad and use the extra cash they're bringing in to take a lady out.

In the past two years I've had around 400 telephone calls about it — librarians, journalists, law students, even law professors wanting to incorporate it into text books. snopes.com: Ronald Opus Suicide (http://www.snopes.com/horrors/freakish/opus.asp)

Keith Courage is the sequel to Xexyz, to make up for it.
Wait, seriously? Time to play some Keith Courage, then.

[Slime Slayer]

@SH, it wasnt about the games, it was about the play on words.

[Seahawk]

The game part is important too because the game mocks the gameplay of the games as well, Paro stage 3 is like Gradius stage 4, Paro stage 4 is a cartoony clone of R-Type stage 3 (battleship), the layout of the final stage of the same in both games, weak final boss, etc. As well as the intro "The loved space shooting story Evolution of Gradius Episode 573" which the remade intro screens taken from the arcade games.

[Slime Slayer]

Yes Seahawk, I understand all that. What I'm trying to say is that it's the fact that they combined the words "parody" and "Gradius" to make the word "Parodius". I always just thought:
"Hmmm Parodius.. that's a weird word." Do you understand what I'm saying?

It's also a little disturbing that the article suggests that the syrup well be returned and then presumably sold, after being "syphoned" from their containers.

[Kong]

I meant "hot".

Does seem strange to let some crooks swap the containers and keep it in their possession for a couple months and then treat it like nothing ever happened.

If I bought a bottle of syrup, opened it, then returned it, the grocery store would throw it away. I guess that's the difference in $2 and $20M.

http://www.retrouprising.com/img/2012_10/1392.png

Turn A:
Take one step to down left, onto the stairs. I can now bail if needed, but eff that.

Enemy Turn A:
Mystic Doll attacks, maybe it decreases stats or whatever.
Silver Devil goes to the top right of me and attacks once (has 2x speed).

Enemies move closer as below. Enemies always take the shortest route so this is how it will go.
http://www.retrouprising.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2651&stc=1&d=1350520898

Turn B:
Use slow staff on Silver Devil. It gets slow (staffs never miss).

Enemy Turn B:
Mystic Doll attacks.
Golem attacks
Silver Devil attacks once. Other enemies move closer completely surrounding me.
http://www.retrouprising.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2652&stc=1&d=1350521107

Turn C:
Use Numb scroll.
http://www.retrouprising.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2653&stc=1&d=1350521240

Enemies are frozen leave one space for them to trickle through. I take the still active enemies out one at a time. If things look bad, I bail down the stairs.

Hee hee.

Also, here's where the other repel scroll went:
http://www.retrouprising.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2654&stc=1&d=1350521306

Silver Devils have 2x attack each, Dragons and Winged Demons have the strongest physical attacks in the game.

Inb4 what would you do without repel scroll, use outside scroll and bail so hard.
