Well yesterday I was scheduled to open my store and as some may know we had a few games coming out. Most notably were Patapon (YES) Lost, Lost Planet for PS3, Turning Point, and a few others that no one bought on release.
First off, Patapon is amazing, and if you consider yourself a real gamer, you need to play this simply because theres nothing else quite like it. Its a side scrolling real time strategy where you enter your commands as a turn based rhythm game. GO!
Anyway, i had been trying like mad for the past 2 months to get people excited about this game and get some pre-orders and stuff but no one cared. "Its only 20 dollars!" i would say and they'd be like "who cares i want madden/need for speed/the sims." At least I did have two guys (both older, like in their 30s) come in and buy it on release.
Then we had the Lost game. Two people bought it from me even though I desperately tried convincing them not to. I told them it was short and would be cheaper than 60 dollars soon or they should just walk across the parking lot to Bluster and rent it but they didnt seem to care. At least the one guy who actually pre-ordered the game came in and canceled it, putting his money on Vegas 2. Smart move.
And for some awful reason, the corporate warehouse decided to only send us one copy of Lost Planet for PS3. I like this game and if I had a PS3 id be happy it was coming. Well, Sorry we only got one and I sold it and we may never see it again.
Ok Im going to play Patapon. I need some rain JuJu.

This is EXACTLY why I hate Game Stop and would rather give my money to Best Buy because at least they don't give a shit what I buy and they don't harass me.

I simply LOVE this game! I've been waiting for a 3rd Person Shooter like this.
It makes me even more excited for Bionic Commando too. I hope the bosses for BC are huge TV screen hogs also!
( Grappling Hooks & 3rd Person Shooter )

BTW I saw a commercial for Vegas2 on "The Science Channel" last night ( 11pm-ish ). While watching "Master Blasters"...It looked like it was blessed by the Pope!

I played this game until I fell asleep last night and the little patapon woke me up by yelling "Hey Buddy!" priceless
If you own a PSP you need to get this game, thats all there is to it. its $20 so it's affordable and it is so much fun!
CHACKA CHACKA PATA PON. that is all

Also in response to Sadie I enjoy shopping at GameStop (or at least my GameStop) because the workers know what they are talking about(once again at least at the one I go to) and I know a few of them outside of the store and can trust their opinons and hell they just make it fun to be there. On the other hand I hate the district manager.
