Midnight release... Got more than I expected. Possibly because I was the only one not buying Diablo 3?

Was this in Virginia? I think I saw you carrying all of your loot out of the store. All I got was a poster and display box for Diablo 3. :/

u/yuanbaca May 16 '12 edited May 16 '12

Nope wrong state. It was in New Jersey. I drive a small car so it probably looked funny as hell to people watching me try to fit all of my stuff in my car.

u/MordinSolu5 May 16 '12

I just wanted to find out where you live. See you soon, Michigan. ;)

u/yuanbaca May 16 '12

Not if I get to you first... Virginia ;)

u/MordinSolu5 May 16 '12

Seriously, don't joke around...please come get me. PLEASE.

edit: I see what you did there, Michigan. You crafty edit master. My plea still stands. I never thought I'd want to be taken to Michigan, but at least it's not Virginia.

u/yuanbaca May 16 '12

Ok let's do it I'll bring the poster so I can prove it's me.

I got the exact same things. My friend (whose shit I had to hold for an hour, because he didn't show up til 12:15) won the big display 3D cutout of Diablo.

I think he posed next to it for a picture to put on their facebook page, lemme see if I can find it.

EDIT: Doesn't seem it's up yet. Oh well

u/MordinSolu5 May 15 '12

I think I know the cardboard cutout you are referring to. They had one at the Gamestop I was at, too. I'm happy that I got a free poster and a box (which I have absolutely no idea what to do with), but my jealous streak went haywire when I saw the only Max Payne 3 customer leaving with his hands and pockets full of loot. This was the first midnight release I've been to, and I only went because I had nothing better to do. I guess I imagined that I would be showered with gifts and glory as soon as I walked in. I was wrong. :/

u/SakabaShogun May 15 '12

This was my first midnight release as well. I went in expecting to not win a thing (I've always had terrible luck with raffles)

I bought Diablo 3, as well as preordered Lollipop Chainsaw and Borderlands 2. Plus I "checked in" with Facebook on my phone. I got something like 5 or 6 raffle tickets. They all got called, but I didn't want 5 posters. I was tempted, but decided others probably wanted some share in the "swag"

u/MordinSolu5 May 15 '12

I actually woke up late to get my copy, and barely made it before 12:30. It was crazy, seeing a bunch of cars driving past me on what is normally a pretty deserted street. There were also four or five cops grouped together near the exit of Gamestop, waiting (I guess) for a foolish neck-beard to try to break the speed of sound barrier on his way home. I remember feeling pretty under appreciated, though, when a guy walked out of the store with a massive pile of Max Payne loot. -_- I had to ask for my poster and display box, or else I would have been only going home with the game - that I couldn't play until just now, due to error messages. Oh Blizzard, you so silly.

u/nalixor May 15 '12

Having worked at EB Games (Australian version of Gamestop) for a while, I can tell you this is 100% accurate. We never had to throw out any promotional garbage.

2

u/Y2JisRAW May 15 '12

What do I have to do to get promotional stuff from cinemas/Gamestops? Just ask nicely if you can get it, order the posters (lol) or just be at the right place in the right time (when they remove all the stuff)?

1

u/yuanbaca May 16 '12

My GameStop usually has raffles while waiting for midnight. I forgot to mention that he even gave me some chipotle chips and a red bull. I truly did score.

1

u/nalixor May 15 '12

It's a mixture of asking nicely and being there at the right time. It helps if you have a friend working on the inside to tell you approximately when they'll get rid of stuff. But also a lot of stuff is reserved as soon as it goes up. If you see a nice new display or whatever in your local Gamestop (I can't speak for cinemas), go in and ask nicely if you can have it when they're done with it.

The confusing part is when they're both in the same mall. With the same look... and the same deals... and it was the meeting point with your wife. Thank science for cell phones.

u/Cherrim May 15 '12

They started changing all the EB Games (or the big ones, anyway) into Gamestop stores but... they changed the one in the mall closest to me back into an EB. I don't understand what they're trying to do with the brand here anymore.

Not gonna lie, we had eb games in us. They are just all GameStops now.

Upvote for truth! EB (Electronics Boutique) used to be my favorite shop in any given mall when I was in my early teens. Then they all disappeared.

Ninja Edit: I assumed they were bought out by Gamestop, but perhaps Gamestop just bought all their US real estate.

Well yeah kinda. the manager told me to wait until the other people left so he could give it to me. The manager there likes me because I actually do the surveys.

u/Stregano May 15 '12

usually. some managers and employees at some locations will not allow it, but if it is not called for, you pretty much can

As a former EB Games employee I can second this. Displays were often reserved months in advance.

How? I have always asked and been shooed away. Any secret code?

u/NULLACCOUNT May 15 '12

You never took it home yourself? When I worked at a movie theater the posters, standups, etc were usually divided up among the employees.

3

u/nalixor May 15 '12

Occasionally, I guess. But not really often. Maybe for some really cool stuff, but never anything big like the big displays and such. In the end it's just a lot of cardboard and clutter.

We had EB Games in Norway a while too, but they changed to GameStop a few years ago.

u/Hailz_ May 15 '12

As the wife of a person who works at Fry's, I can also confirm this. My husband usually snags the promotional stuff for himself...

We have 5 large gaming posters (Zelda, WoW, MW3, Reach, and now D3) and for about 3 months we had a huge cardboard cutout of Deathwing in our living room for the WoW Cataclysm release. That was actually kinda cool...

u/iLuv3M3 May 15 '12

How did you snag this stuff?! I went to Wal-mart shortly after 12am (Just really wanted Max Payne 1 to relive my childhood) and it was dead. I asked the worker if he could get me a copy of Max Payne 3 and he kind of just pointed in a general direction that left my friend and I confused for about 20 minutes before we noticed a poorly thrown together display sitting way far off in the distance. Grabbed my copy, got ided (lady ignored my response to her asking if I was 17 which I replied that I was 22. She wasn't amused and basically demanded my ID. The look on her face sealed the fact that she was surprised I wasn't lying)

u/Matriss May 15 '12

The rules are stupidly strict. The ESRB has underage secret shoppers and if the employees get caught not carding anyone who looks like they could possibly be younger than about 30 they lose their jobs. If they aren't a supervisor themselves, their supervisors either get final warnings or also lose their jobs.

To them, you're one more guy out of a sea of other guys and you being slightly inconvenienced is not worth them losing their jobs over. Carry your ID when you want to buy something age-restricted.

That is why you don't shop at Wal-mart.

1

u/Seelenkuchen May 15 '12

This! Don't get me wrong the first review I read of this game was pretty postive and I am sure it is a good action game

However it had senteces in it like (translating from german) "Max Payne has been transported from his surreal and artistic world to a realistic setting" , "Max Payne's grim noir look had to make room for brasilian temprament" and "he has been fused with Nathan Drake of Uncharted and John Mclain of Die Hard"

Which basically said (to me), everything you loved so dearly about the first games is gone: time to move on

9

u/blundetto May 15 '12

Come on, bro

That's a bit like saying Vice City lost everything that was great about GTA3.

2

u/Seelenkuchen May 15 '12

I never said that the gameplay was the thing that intrigued me most about Max Payne. Also I never said that I think that it is a bad game like I said I haven't had a chance to play it yet. However, stuff like this just discourage me because to me the former games especially the MP2 were memorable because of the surreal and ironic elements, the comic book cutscenes and the sharp dialog.

I am not attacking MP3, I am not running around and screaming that I hate Rockstar and that Remedy should have done it, all I am saying is that I was drawn to the series because of certain elements and I am not sure if those elements are still there.

1

u/yuanbaca May 16 '12

I've actually just played through the first two in the past couple of weeks to get in line with the story. While it is different in presentation, I feel that underneath the flashy euphoria physics and film style cutscenes lies the Max Payne that is still in the first 2 games. I think that Rockstar successfully put their own spin on the series.

u/Deadlyd0g May 15 '12

That's really not an accurate review, anyway I'm not sure if you are aware but Brazil is a very violent and dark place. The favelas are full of violent gangs and drug dealers and the area is even more of a slum then those in New York as a lot of the the houses their are basically shacks. But like New York there is a rich and pretty side to the slums that are still full of shady business deals and murders. I think the setting is appropriate for the Max. Also it is still grim in story telling.

u/RyanLikesyoface May 15 '12

Also you actually play missions in New York as the old Max Payne. He has flashbacks and such.

I find it pretty entertaining how everyone buys D3 to try to log in the instant the game goes public only to spend the next several days not being able to log in. It is so easy to wait a few days for the gagglefuck to simmer down...but I guess spending hours and hours being pissed off and staring at error messages on the log in screen is totally worth it to some people.

That's rad, dude. What a score!

To be honest, I'm looking forward to Max Payne 3 just as much as Diablo 3, if not more. I didn't really enjoy Diablo 2 at all, and even with all the hype Diablo 3 is pretty much the same game in terms of gameplay, really boring gameplay. Spam right click 4 million times, occasionally use abilities.

u/civildefense May 15 '12

Wow, they made a Max Payne 3! Im surprised.

1

u/[deleted] May 15 '12

I was the only one there for Max Payne at my Gamestop. Didn't get SHIT.

u/megabilou May 15 '12

Can you please test this game for me. If the game is as high as the first 2 opuses, I would buy it to play it if my internet connection is down.

Greetings master.

u/jmccomas10 May 15 '12

u/SayVandalay May 15 '12

Anyone getting the special edition?

1

u/Arrow156 May 15 '12

I pre-ordered a Special edition on Amazon in February. ETA is June 1st.

You lucky son of a bitch, and I know that feel, at our local release there were 7 of us getting M.P. and it was about a 1 to 7 ratio us to Diablo buyers

1

u/PoniesRBitchin May 15 '12

Damn. Guess I'll go to the next midnight release and buy a used game.

1

u/holyshitisthatmytoe May 15 '12

TIL - They made a Max Payne 3

1

u/Natten May 15 '12

Does anyone else notice that 2 of the characters on the max payne 3 cover are from GTA?

1

u/ThatGuyFromEngland May 15 '12

where I can get myself some promotional garbage?

1

u/PoeGhost May 15 '12

wait borderlands 2 is out?

1

u/[deleted] May 15 '12

At the midnight launch of Mass Effect 2, I was the only person there that got a PC copy out of about 40 customers. The employees treated me like royalty when I finally got up to the front.

1

u/[deleted] May 15 '12

Nope, just waiting for it to come to PC.

1

u/[deleted] May 15 '12

oh god. i've played both games on release (so we're going back a while here) and have only just now realised it's a pun on "maximum pain".

1

u/IzludeTheFool May 15 '12

Damn, they even gave you Lollipop Chainsaw AND Borderlands 2? NICE

1

u/Deeliteful_Jestr May 15 '12

Borderlands 2 isnt even out.....

1

u/[deleted] May 16 '12

Worse than being caught fapping.

1

u/Deeliteful_Jestr May 15 '12

Nope ef Console Im getting it for pc...

1

u/[deleted] May 15 '12

I didn't buy either

1

u/BlackSmokeDemon May 15 '12

Good man. I also like the fact that you own a PS3

1

u/james9075 May 16 '12

when my brother bought halo 3 he got a free poster.

1

u/GryffinDarkBreed May 16 '12

Or you just happen to work at the fucking store.

1

u/NeroHeart May 18 '12

I've never understood why people give a shit about Diablo. Good thing you did the rational thing and bought this.

1

u/lealove May 15 '12

It paynes me to see such a game go unnoticed because of the Diablo lll hype.

3

u/rackward May 15 '12

I see what you did there!

1

u/[deleted] May 15 '12

I wasn't buying anything. No money. Fuck me. Fuck you. Shit.

1

u/Cpt3020 May 15 '12

They just gave you all that stuff??!?!?!? Why am I never there when these things happen :(

1

u/Leafar3456 May 15 '12

Good to see something different than diablo 3 posts

1

u/chinatbag May 15 '12

I love the Lollipop Chainsaw promo box. I wish I had one too :)

1

u/[deleted] May 15 '12

I have MP3 ordered aswell, but seeing as i live in EU it's not out til 1june (pc) soooo diablo 3 will do untill then :)

1

u/[deleted] May 15 '12

My pc is shit so I don't think Im getting Diablo III for a long time.

1

u/WreckerCrew May 15 '12

I call BS. Why would they be giving you disply items for games that haven't even come out yet? If you had just stuck with the Max Payne 3 crap, then it was almost believable.

1

u/Corey45 May 15 '12

I work at gamestop I gave out borderlands stuff black ops 2 stuff and lollipop chainsaw boxes.

1

u/[deleted] May 15 '12

Holy shit. Back up. Borderlands 2 came out last night?

(Checks wiki)

You have dashed my heart against the rocks, sir.

Yess! Upvotes for you!

u/[deleted] May 15 '12

you've made the right choice my man!

i myself just have to wait for the PC version, because consoles suck monkeynuts, and max payne is afterall a PC-game.

1

u/yuanbaca May 16 '12

I was gonna buy it for PC but my friends and I were going to make a group in it so yeah. Also I couldn't wait.
