Gamestop employees get really mad and defensive if you interrupt them, even if they're just making small talk.

Last time I went to gamestop the girl cashier was talking about some new games coming out for consoles but then I told her I just wanted a steam wallet card. What am I supposed to answer with when she asks me, "Oh, are you a pc gamer?" She almost sounded disappointed. But I quickly said I had a Switch, and then it seemed like she cheered up a little but it looked like the damage was already done. wtf did I say wrong.

They legit have secret inspectors for this kind of shit user, they love using that old classic

I went into EB Games a few years back. I'm quick to grab a copy of SSB for the Wii U and I'm waiting in line. I get up to the counter and I'm just holding that game at full retail price. What do you think the guy does? He picks up the phone when he gets a call and walks into the back room without saying anything to me once.

I'm the mother fucking customer IN THE STORE and ready to drop 90 bucks. Put that mother fucker on hold or politely ask me if I can wait a moment. Naturally I said "Fuck this" and left the game on the counter. Talked shit about him in the survey. Never saw Adonay again. Pretty sure I got him fired for taking a private/personal call.

I was a DJ for my GameStop for FO4's midnight. It was a lot of fun but my set was dogshit.

>a fucking employee wears a stormtrooper outfit like its a 12 year old birthday party

I like my gamestop. They barely pester you about pre-orders and are pretty cool people.

user... It will be replaced by the sequel in a few years. The ride never ends.

Wholesome

What happened to sony 1st party games? Theres was like only 2 good ones this entire generation

All the employees at my GameStop know me and know not to pester me. We’ll have casual conversations about video games while they ring up my stuff. The manager helped me secure a copy of RE2 even though it was officially sold out. It was nice

I physically cringed. Imagine actually thinking anything with a vagina knows or cares about early access to a jap MMO lmao

They're doubling down on fewer games but "higher" production values and marketing for the ones that are left? Hard to say. I love my PS4 but I hate modern Sony. I don't even own Horizon, GoW, and I'm not getting TLoU2 even though I loved the first one. I'm really drifting away from AAA and finding myself enjoying my backlog and indie games more.

literal children's hobby

There are more then you think. Enough to ruin all the free companies.

all things considered I like mine, too
the guy that I see the most knows me enough to stop asking me for pre-orders, and will tell me if there's some weabshit LEs left since he knows what I buy

apparently they are not even carrying the physical version of Attack on Titan 2: Final Battle though, for whatever reason

lol I guess the fagotstmer isn't always right

>wii u

Attached: 1544151938232.jpg (206x206, 6K)

was he shouting?

I didn't have a ps4/xbone at that point because I lost the majority vote (wii u was a parents xmas gift for me and my siblings) so I figured I may as well grow it's library a bit.
And to this day Shovel Knight is the only wii u game I played for more than a few hours before losing interest.

Maybe not, but at least I didn't get fired after a stranger took a short survey to shit on them. I also didn't have to grow up as a man with the name "Adonay".

>And to this day Shovel Knight is the only wii u game I played for more than a few hours before losing interest.
I worded this terribly.
Every other wii u game I played for a few hours and lost interest, not shovel knight.
I love shovel knight and have bought it 3 times since.

Even though i would like to own a PS5 cause it looks like a beast for a console at least and it having backwards compatibility, i cant accept Sony's bullshittery especially with their censorship

lol we throw those things out before the manager ever gets a chance to see them.

he thinks shovel knight is a wii u game

I always just say, "Not today." It's pretty much the audio shutdown code for GameStop cashiers, like they really think I'm going to come back in a couple days and pre-order a bunch of crap. They just say, "All right then," and complete my transaction with no further bullshit.

Same goes for, "I see your rewards account has expired, would you like to renew that?" "Not today." "All right then."

what was wrong with the new god of war besides being a different game? is it just the fact it's not the same as the first 3?

I bought joycons in December, they are already drifting

I still have the receipt, what are my chances of getting a replacement if I go to gamestop and ask for one. I didnt get their extended warranty.

>YOU WANT A POWER UPS REWARDS CARD

>Live in a small town all my teenage years

>Graduate college, get in a job in that city
>My nearest Gamestop now is that same Gamestop that always had a copy of For Answers
>Look up its availability
>It's in the Gamestop in my small town

I guess I'll just never play it. At this point I don't even want to order it online. It's like my white whale.

How was DJing for a gamestop midnight release? I always thought it would be kind of fun since I don't expect Gamestop customers to have very high standards

Not him, but I hate when stores have music playing. As you can imagine, Christmas is a miserable time of the year for me. I've never understood why the suicide rate isn't higher for retail workers.

Her son is in kindergarten now and the only part of Pokemon the kids like are the cards. They trade them on the playground. Beyblade is the big anime/franchise for them currently.

Okay bud
Excited for 8th grade?

when i worked at GS

anything that was given a sku of .01 cents could be held for pre order bonus/midnight.

I always felt weird when store leads would give away game guides for games that have been out for 7 months or so.

Sometimes we could give away decent crap like some collectables.

you wish you graduated 4th grade, faggot.

>go to gamestop to pick up my preorder of MK11

>gamestop sales pitch ensues
>neckbeard manager interrupts haggling and says "wait you almost forgot your free preorder poster"
>he reachs under the counter and waves the poster in face my face why moaning "oooh" like he is trying to entice a toddler
>i grab my shit and leave
>last sound i hear before the door swings shut is the manchild asking if he can have the pokemon poster
I can't appropriately describe how bizarre that situation was. I felt like I was viewing the entire thing through a dutch angle and with lynchian tones droning on underneath. I've never felt more alien to a group of human beings in my life.

>my white whale
Fucking kek

>Procreating with a random whore without the intention of marriage

No u

I bet no one hates GameStop more than their employees. It's pretty much the only entry level job you can get if you want to somehow work in games and it's fucking sleazy and treats employees and customers like trash

That happened to me when I was trying to get modern warfare. Got WaW instead and I wasn’t disappointed

Just recalibrate them, usually that will fix it, at least temporarily.

there's no saving those things

I enjoy cringe content and have built a pretty high tolerance to cringe however when I see someone doing this in GameStop it gets me every time
Video or irl it’s painful

Nice blog, (literal) faggot

He's not the one that's going to scream like a little princess when a large but relatively harmless spider drops on him.

That sucks. My old joycons had the motion detection drift which I could fix with calibration, but what finally killed them was when the left analogue stick started drifting and moving me left out of nowhere, or acting like I was still holding left after I let go of it. Those things are pieces of trash, I'm overall an admitted nintendie, but there's no excuse for selling something that badly made for 80 dollars.

wut? what does that have to do with anything my or the other post said?

I got a job at Gamestop and I'm starting Thursday. What am I in for?

I'm tired and bored. I'll probably go to the mall tomorrow and stop by gamestop for something just to kill time.

What should I buy? Dubs and I'll post results tomorrow.

A company going under in this new digital age

Thank god it's only part time or I'd be fucked.

I stopped going to Gamestop because I realize I spend 2 minutes in my car psyching myself up first before I endure the cat piss smell, clothes hangers poking you, the 3 step upsell where half the time they dont listen and put the shit on anyway hoping you don't catch it or are too beta to fight it, wrapping used games as new, etc.

Turns out I dont have to go at all lol am I retarded?

A new job within a year

I'm mad, the gamestop near me used to be full of normal people who wouldn't bother you unless you asked them about something, but now they pester me about pre-orders and try to recommend games when I walked in 10 seconds ago.

Gamestop employees are either clueless females hired by the virgin or near-virgin manager in hopes they'll date him eventually, dudes who buy every CoD and Madden and end up as the "80% of people who own this game haven't gotten the trophy/achievement for beating the first boss" you always wonder about, or turbo-autists who think they're the only person in the world who reads forums (entry level ones at that) and try to condescend about whatever new release is coming out because they unironically buy into the hype cycle despite trying to seem intelligent

You let pussy cloud your judgement. You should have dominated her with your bad ass pc specs and +fps. her panties would have dropped instantly

Unrelated but what the fuck is with Yea Forums mods lately. I've been in like 15 vidya related threads that have been pruned today. A few were vaguely Yea Forums, admittedly, but they at least were about Yea Forums girls.

I even got a 2 day ban for posting in a "offtopic thread"

Meanwhile shitty /pol/ bait threads hit the bump limit.

The fact even Yea Forums mods got this bad, I might legit be done with Yea Forums. Even reddit is better than this garbage where even arcana heart threads are deleted on sight.

MODS! BAN HIM AGAIN!

We either need 5 more pages on Yea Forums, or move daily shitposting threads to /vg/ so less popular shit can get threads. Nothing niche is ever discussed anymore and every shitposting thread is full of people making one post from their phone then leaving the thread

>>tumblr.com

Tumblr is dead user. Send them to Reddit instead.

What I'm gathering from this is that Australian gays like spiders and gaming. They sound better then American gays.

I'm fine with threads dropping off.
But just posting an AH thread is deleted. It doesn't drop off, the mods go out of their way to remove the thread for no reason. Shits ridiculous.

>discussing problematic games
Sorry sweetie, reset era owns this site now. You're not allowed to talk about SCP or anime games unless you open the thread with some political celebrity twitter bait.

She wanted to had sex with you, but when she heard you were a pc user she realized that you were never going to have sex so she got a little depressed.

What is it about gamestop that activates peoples autism

If you have to second guess showering, you aren't doing it enough.

It's just you, autismo.

Rayman

Judging by this thread, I don't think so

I'll literally send you a copy bro. It's a good ass game.

Not them, but I'm autistic because I'm always autistic. It's nothing unique to gamestop.
I spill spaghetti ordering my strawberry surf smoothie from jamba juice.

I love seeing this new tard working the register at mine try and sell me on their rewards shit instead of the usual person I deal with. The usual person I deal with knows I'm just there to loiter or get cheap Wii games.

Isnt the reward shit free or something?
