Yeah you are too dense to get it. Artistic expression literally means you can do ugly shit. Your attempted sarcasm is actually the point.

"After our series was praised for it's memorable characters and some of the best presentation of cutscenes that generation. With a new generation of consoles, we've decided to make folks more stumpy. Also their faces should be flat and motionless, except for the lips that should go meep meep like Pingu. Then the camera should linger inappropriately and against the flow of dialogue, that our director appear to have done in one take. What you don't realise, and this is very technical, is that when you have a first person shooter, you have to change the way you model the hand so that it looks right. I mean, we're not doing that here, This is very advanced technical game stuff, so we don't need artists who understand the fundamentals of life modelling or animations. Because, you see, when you're rendering characters in certain genres... now, not this game, but other games...
|
Bayonetta has long legs and is really really tall. Chris Redfield looks like an action hero and not some stumpy man.
|
All that waffle doesn't counter the point.
And lol at Chris just looking like an action hero and Bayo just being tall. I'll play, too: Mass Effect guy just has short arms. Boom. We're done here. |
|
How did they manage the feat of modelling Shepard '1:1'. I'm lead to believe, by an expert, that this is very difficult and HOLY SHIT. YADDA YADDA.

You should have perhaps made a realisation when you started boring yourself in the middle of that post.

Burn, Gamestop.
|
They brought some of that on themselves.
They've had loads of employees, current and former, chime in on that "Circle of Life" mess, and admit they tanked some sales to hit what was basically their corporate K/D ratio. Not saying it's the biggest or the only reason, but it had to be a sizable chunk of those metrics. And I speak from a position of being a former employee for quite awhile (and technically over three districts). Things vary store to store, but a lot of "the most shitty" was universal. |
What is the circle of life for Gamestop?
Don't think it is a big deal shutting down some stores. I have 2 locations in the same mall and 1 literally 2 blocks away of said mall. I am sure the Switch is helping sales. The thing that probably hurts them the most is being able to digital download games with each console doing their own sales which js just as good or better than Gamestop (and any other retailer). |

And Destiny 2 is shipping this year, presumably. Potential disaster.

Tempted to get it even not having played it for a few months.

Quote:
Only real bright side is since their non-gaming sales are still good, they pretty much are just replacing those gaming stores with more non-gaming stores. |
An odd bright side since as a failed gaming store, rebooting into something makes them essentially irrelevant to anybody in this sub-forum.

Quote:
Essentially, sales metrics were tracked by the store and per employee at said store. A percentage of sales HAD TO BE - as in WAS REQUIRED from on high - to consist of used games, accessories, and a certain number of pre-orders had to be met. Again, per employee AND a target per store. It has long been one of the major complaints by customers (aside from trade pricing, but that's a whole 'nother discussion in and of itself) about the chain that employees are super pushy about pre-orders. This idea of each employee being mandated to get so many pre-orders under their belt per week is a major reason for that trainwreck. People don't *want* to be pushy, but when you're only there one or two days a week in a high volume store, you likely needed an ungodly amount of presales to "justify your position" as it were. There is likely a drawer full of applications of many other expendable, fresh faced nerds you can be replaced with ad infinitum with dreams of just working there around their favorite hobby just like you. Add into that the used sales. The policy was structured in such a way where selling new items such as games, accessories, and even systems, actively HURT the used game metrics by inflating the percentage of used stuff needed that week. If somebody came in and bought a shiny new PS4 and a few brand new games for their birthday, and didn't also plunk down about 8 pre-orders and buy a bunch of used shit, that's about $500 counting against not only that store, but that employee running the transaction. Customer has no reason to give a fuck. After all, they got what they came in for. The employee, however, is now sweating bullets. All of this came to a head with a recent Kotaku article where this toxic environment (finally) came out in the open to documented public knowledge as opposed to being something people "know" but don't/can't talk about much like that "EA Spouse" letter cracked the window on that publisher's shady ways a number of years back. As such, GameStop finally dialed back on the stringency of the policy (not because it was bad, mind you, but because of the PR mess- it's still a corporation, and had this not come out, you can bet your ass they would have still been doing the same old shit) and have recently started factoring in new sales into part of the business metric in a way that screws over their frontline grunts a tad less than it used to. *** I understand about the saturation. There are THREE GameStop locations near me: all of which are literally within the same two mile stretch... though some of that has to do with business consolidations over the years than just building redundant shops. The one at the mall was, once upon a time, a Software, ETC location, the next one down the street started life as a FuncoLand. The third was an actual, true GameStop location. They oddly hold their numbers, though, and don't cannibalize eachother's sales like you'd think they would, where other standalone locations nowhere near these three places that you'd think could thrive have come and gone. Even so, closing down a few places isn't exactly "The Fall of Rome" that people are portraying this as... *but* ... if they keep going, and need to close more after next year, then would be the time to start looking at it as a potential disaster for the company. |
I have no issue with them pushing pre-orders.

Nah, Freesync is the variable refresh rate stuff. So I've got a G-Sync monitor and what it does is change the TVs refresh rate to whatever the framerate of the game is running. What this means is that it removes some of the big issues with framerate drops like screen tearing or frame pacing. It makes things so much damn smoother.

Didn't they also only make around a million to 1.5 million of these Classics as well? Don't think they even bothered with a second run of production at least in the US.
One of their biggest weakness in recent years is them being really bad at guaging public interest for their products as a whole. Unless its something Mario, Pokemon, or Zelda related, its more likely than not they are going to under-estimate the demand for it by a lot. Think they even had to hire another company recently to help them out because of how bad they were getting with this. |
Nintendo has a strange kind of modesty on their Japanese end. They'll talk about Zelda or Mario like an indy passion project rather than them being some of the best games in history. Compare that to how western devs talk about their game; Bungie especially has become massively cocky to the point the community had to pester them to stop being so flowery in blog updates.
And Nintendo leaving money on the table is strange only in the context of what we're used to with other companies. Any other company would be on the tenth expansion of a Pokemon MMO by now. Or Metroid Prime 7. |
Yeah, I do get underestimating demand, that's fine. But discontinuing a product already in production people want to give you money for is just batshit.
Looking at the stock checker for this country, they were restocked in March and not one retailer had stock for more than 10 minutes. |

Eurogamer has a rumour up about a SNES Mini by Christmas. Congrats to the 10 people who buy them.
I also saw a rumour elsewhere which is the only thing that makes sense to me about the NES Mini: The CPU they use in that is a discontinued product and Nintendo just bought them up cheap to make it which is why it is now discontinued. |
I'd like to say I'm excited about a prospective SNES Mini but at the same time like you said if they only make about 15 of them I'm not gonna lose aaaaaaaany sleep over not getting one.

They did pre-orders for the NES over here. I got the controller to use on the Wii U virtual console and PC, just didn't fancy the console until it was hacked and then it was too late.
I will pre-order a SNES mini though. |
I'd rather they just make a half-decent VC catalogue on the Switch, myself, but it'll be interesting to see how this all shakes up
|
That surely must be coming at E3. They said that they'd be giving a free VC rental every month once the paid online stuff starts in the fall.
|
If they do the VC better than they have in the past, it may be worth picking up this system....

A company is making a streaming app called Rainway that they're saying will stream your games to a browser, phone, XB1 or Switch. They were claiming that it will be on the eShop, but I have a feeling that once Nintendo figure out what it is, they'll block it.
Still, if it works in a browser, it should still be fine once it actually gets a browser. Would be pretty sweet. |

This is a very blatant rip of NBA Jam. But since EA gives no fucks about Jam (or Blitz) I guess somebody has to do it.
