Coincidentally, I should be receiving Resident Evil 2 Remake today.

Officially the first physical Xbox One game I buy, and the first one I pay full price for. Also the first one I preorder.

And yes I'll play it on assisted mode. Because I suck at aiming.

@Delibheel Me too, that's part of what's making me nervous and/or fidgety. If things get hectic, my hands don't listen to my brains anymore. For example: in first person shooters, I'd regularly back into a wall or any other obstruction that I can't get past, instead of actually getting far enough away from a fatal explosion or shot.

Yeah I mostly prefer motion controls to aim, because I just can’t with analog sticks,

So I’m quite happy this one includes the aiming assistant.

@Delibheel Oh, that isn't even it for me, it's just hectic, panicky situations. Doesn't matter what kind of controller I'm using. In general, I can use twin stick controls just fine, as long as things don't get too hectic...

@ThanosReXXX pretty sure the shareholders aren't even pulling the strings on this stuff anymore. Theyre just along for the ride with us.

@NEStalgia Well, in that case, GameStop has unintentionally become an even more apt name for the company than they ever could have imagined when they started it...

@ThanosReXXX LOL, so true. That's why the UK equivalent just went with "GAME"....less memeable. GameStop 76, Game(PleaseJust)Stop....the list is endless. It sucks. I want to like them. How could I not want to like the last gaming store around? But it's like trying to like EA if EA were the last game developer around. You can try and try, but they'll make sure you can't.

Also, there was a rumor (not sure if it's true) that GameStop is in rebellion about MS pushing digital so hard, and was contemplating boycotting X1 physical game sales (after a year or two ago talking about how MS actually left them more margin than Sony and Nintendo on 1st party games so they tried to push those hardest...) They basically go round robin, threatening and antagonizing vendors into giving them better deals, more inventory allotment, etc. Like EA used to do to Sega. It's weird. I don't actually want them to disappear, but I want them to dispose of the entire management suite and get someone that's at least better than Eddie Lampert.

@NEStalgia You forgot GameStopPreordering...

But I get it, although more or less being forced to like a game store because it's the only one left....
well, that also really doesn't sound like the best of reasons.

And there's always the giant department stores, like BestBuy and what not, who'll probably always have some kind of games section. Over here, we've pretty much also got one major brand of game store left. The other options are the larger toy stores that have a video game department, or indeed the department stores. But I also buy a lot online, although mostly from stores that actually do also have a brick and mortar location, but that's just to far from where I live to go there.

The cost for the trip would be triple or more of what I pay in delivery costs...

By the way: how do you paste those tweets directly? I've tried a bunch of stuff/commands in the recent past, but I never managed to turn them into anything other than making it a normal url.

Hey man sorry missed this yesterday. Whether on mobile or pc there should be a little down arrow to the right of each tweet. First option in the drop down menu is "Copy link to tweet". Just paste it in your comment, no formatting needed

Since we're still talking about GS, if anyone is in the market for an xbox theyre discounting all new ones, including bundles, by $50. Sale goes until Saturday!

@redd214 Don't worry about it. I'd figure you'd get to it whenever you had the time.
I wasn't in any rush or anything, just curious...

Haha resident evil 2 is a lot of fun, it has genuinely scared me a few times. Darned Lickers and their propensity to jump at you out of nowhere.

Successfully walking past a Licker without being detected has got to be one the most tense things I’ve done in a video game.

Basically every letsplayer is playing the Leon scenario first, so I didn’t spoil much by watching their early game videos (I’m playing as Claire first).

@Delibheel oh not buying to keep, they're getting flipped asap. Get a couple months of game pass and Anthem for free. One is enough for me too

Anyone still getting login issues? They said the fixed them but I'm still having trouble.

So Crackdown 3 is split into 2 separate downloadable files, Campaign and Wrecking Zone. xbox.com says Wrecking Zone is launching 15th February but the single player has no release date yet.

@Grumblevolcano guess that's good for space saving if you just want one or the other. The lack of a date on the Campaign page is a bit worrisome though. Really hope it's just something they missed adding to the page and not another delay. We will find out soon enough.
