I cancelled my preorder for this because of all the bad reviews it was getting. So when I saw that the price was cut in half plus I get the 20%, and a few months passed. I decided to try it. It's not that bad. It has had a few patches. There's a lot to like. If you can find it for cheap on sale. I'd say try it.

I only bought this game because I price matched a competitor. For like $12-13. Played it for a while and I was pleasantly surprised that it was better than it was made out to be by all the people online bashing it. I know they patched it a bunch of times since launch. So that must have helped. So I think for all the people whom wanted the game at launch and saw or read the reviews bashing the game decided not to get it. I'd say it's pretty safe to get it now. Specially if you can get it at bargain bin price.

For this game is what rainbow six or specially the division should have been. There's a ton of things to do. The map is huge. The gameplay is good. You can go completely stealth or guns a blazing. It's not perfect. The A.I is not very good. Just put the difficulty up for a challenge. The game has dropped in price. I got this on sale plus the 20%. So you get a lot of game for the money. A definite buy.

The game is good. No doubt about that. It's just not as good as the stick of truth. If you never played the first then this game would be perceived as great. The game looks better. The new combat mechanic is really good. The humor for the first one was seriously LoL. This one just has had me chuckle a lot. The side quests are okay. The game is worth a purchase if you're a huge fanatical fan. Otherwise I see this game getting price breaks fairly quickly. Wait a bit. If you can.

I really can't say anything different than what is being said about this game that hasn't been said already. It really is that good. The game just keeps on surprising me. I am honestly amazed of what and the amount that was put in the little cartridge. It's just soooo different of a game what has been made before. But very familiar. A Masterpiece. Do you and me a favor buy it if for some reason you didn't when you bought the Switch.

This game should have been included with the console. It really feels like a cheap money grab. I actually felt kinda cheated after I saw the game for more than a few minutes. It is super low budget. Just like maybe three games out of all of them are entertaining. I can't recommend this game. Maybe when (and it will ) be bargain bin price very soon.

If Nintendo can get it together, and get developers onboard. The switch will be a monster seller. It is now but for the long haul. As of now the lack of games is very disappointing. Of course it's the best Zelda playing machine. But besides that not much. I bought Master Blaster thru the eShop. That game is pretty cool. Had it when I was a kid. Controllers when separated from the console definitely feel small. Putting them in the "comfort grip" feels ok. But after a while my right thumb kinda gets tired. Nintendo should have place the thumb stick and buttons like the left side controller. I guess I need to buy the pro controller. If you have the means to buy it and it's available at normal price,and you have to play Zelda. Get it. If not,and you can wait a few months or until Christmas when the console will have more content. Get it then.

This is a perfect fitting case. It can be used to prop up the switch., and it comes with the licensed screen protector. So buying his set you save at least like $3. Definitely recommend this for the little Switch.

This game is a great. I'm playing it on my PS4 Pro. So it looks absolutely amazing. The sound design is great. The combat/stealth is great. The game is a it RPGish, but not hardcore. It is definitely accessible. No micro managing or micro gathering. I haven't finished it. From what I've read online, it's a pretty long game. At least 40 hours. I'd definitely recommend this.

Good game so far. I'm enjoying it a lot. There's a lot of things to do. Which in part is a slight con for the game. What I mean is that the side missions and general things to do begin to get repetitive. The way you can make variety is in the way you go about to achieve the mission. You really can go about completing how ever you like. I'm playing solo, and in the hardest difficulty. The A.I is kinda dumb. They just make them more sensitive to sound and more visually aware to you. I would definitely recommend this game. If you have at least one other person to play with that plays like you. It would make this game even better.

 Far Cry 5 Gold Edition - Xbox One
Far Cry 5 Gold Edition - Xbox One
Far Cry comes to America in the latest installment of the award-winning franchise.Hope County, Montana, has been overrun by a fanatical doomsday cult – The Project at Eden’s Gate. Upon your arrival, you must spark the fires of resistance to liberate the community.
 

Why is your gold edition of far cry 5, 10 dollars more than anywhere else I have looked for it

I noticed that as well. That it's $89.99. I figure it's because it's the digital edition. The physical copy seems to make it cost more.

does best buy sell a preowned copy of this game and if so how much are they?

The thing is that not all stores carry used games for sale. I bought this game on sale. So it was actually cheaper to buy it new. So I recommend buying it on sale.

How do I find out what stores will have midnight release? And could I have someone else pick it up for me?

I usually just google the question: insert game name Best Buy midnight release. Then usually one of the top results is an actual Best Buy website link directly to that section of their site.

My store is releasing Mario odyssey at 9pm. What time should I arrive to be early for pick up when it released?

At least 30 minutes earlier for those type of release events. The bigger the game, the earlier you should go. So this game, maybe like at least 45 minutes early.

Is this 6000. btu Energy star rated like it says it is on front of AC FRIGIDAIRE ITSELF AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN WILL MY AC BILL BE LESS $Costly.

The way it saves energy is, that once it reaches the temperature for a few minutes that you set. It will go into standby mode. In other words it shuts off. Then when it gets a few degrees hotter than your setting it will turn back on.

It will leak water from a drain hole towards the bottom rear of the unit. The water helps the ac cool more efficiently. When not in use the elements help evaporate the leftover water.

 Uncharted 4: A Thief's End Standard Edition - PlayStation 4
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End Standard Edition - PlayStation 4
Several years after his last adventure, retired fortune hunter, Nathan Drake, is forced back into the world of thieves. With the stakes much more personal, Drake embarks on a globe-trotting journey in pursuit of a historical conspiracy behind a fabled pirate treasure. His greatest adventure will test his physical limits, his resolve, and ultimately what he's willing to sacrifice to save the ones he loves.
 

Was I the only one that did not receive the pirate sigil coin when pre-ordering a copy of this? It was advertised on tv and it was on their website as part of the pre-order bonuses.

The store I got mine from only received about 10 coins (or so the guy said),on top of that he initially did not intend to give me the coin. I had to ask him then it was a fiasco asking several other employees about if he can give it to me. I had this game preordered as well. I did get it tho.

I remembered this game was advertise with a 10 dollar pre order in certificates months ago, for people that pre ordered the game at that time do they receive the reward certificate?

This game was not a part of the "victory can be preorder" program. I don't know why. It's one of the biggest games of this year. It seems to me that Best Buy is cutting back on the amount of titles it is including in the program. Compared to the last couple of years.
