@IkariX it's a good thing IDGAF about your opinion then, lol
It may surprise you to know that other people have different experiences to your own. But I know that concept may be too far out of reach for you.
As for Nexus, I don't know why you ban people that have legitimate points relating to polls you create. None of what I said was out of line, but clearly you prefer sycophants like IkariX on the forum instead of customers who have legitimate criticism of your logistics (which you make us pay for).
Nexushub has the best customer service no doubt. I have had other retailers that don't care about restocking on sold out titles but yet nexushub helped get me townfall steelbooks and control resonant steelbooks even though they were sold out. No one cares about delivery fees as long as you get the physical game in good condition like I have, especially steelbooks which can be fragile.
I'm going to call [censored] on your post. I've been buying from Nexus since the AnimeWorx days from about 2008. I have literally never ever had bad customer service from NexusHub. So you are being disingenuous. I don't think you appreciate the great lengths they go to, to get these games for us. But enjoy your other retailers and their[censored] service.
I'd actually go even further and say do standard free shipping for all orders above R1000 but allow an express shipping option/add on for those that want to pay extra. I would gladly pay extra to get whatever I ordered the day after I order it.
I'm not looking to start a bad thread about this, I was really just curious because I misclicked the tab on the left and stumbled upon the poll (I'd never clicked it before).
I am fiercely brand loyal to Nexus Hub and I don't care too much about not getting a game day-1. I know other names like BT and Koodoo ship earlier so you get it on release, but I'd never be "that" excited that I must play day-1, life happens
On the other hand, paying an extra R150 every time you order a commercially available title does add up, and I would not blame the average consumer for trying to save some money.
I know I'd feel less off about it if there was a price match, and free delivery at a certain threshold.
Are there circumstances where I would pay that extra without thinking twice about it, yes. In general there's little reason to do so.
That said, touching on Darkwing's point of eBucks, payment options feel like a lot bigger point than the R50 delivery. Lot of places offering rewards, pay later, etc. Those are big pull points for customers.
For niche titles it's okay. Problem is I play mainly bigger titles. Games are expensive enough as is. If I can save 50 bucks, use my ebucks (which some retailers allow) then I'm definitely going with another retailer.
Basically if I have to choose between paying delivery or not I'm going to go for not paying for delivery. On top of that, I find my Nexus orders are usually delayed. I don't think I've ever received a game on release day which is annoying when you're paying extra for delivery especially. And often you have to ask where it is which I don't think the customer should have to do, that's part of customer service.
So epic! Love the world war one theme and especially love the fact it has a single player campaign - that was previously rumored to not be included -
Yeah proper SP campaign - you play as several different people in different story lines - Western Front, Lawrence of Arabia plus more TBA later. Fingers crossed there is a naval one.
The new Battlefield game is taking the series back in time: Electronic Arts revealed today that Battlefield 1 arrives Oct. 21, and that the number "1" on the fifth mainline title references its World War I setting.
As part of the game's Early Enlister Deluxe Edition set, players will gain access to a handful of period-appropriate content. A pre-order bonus for that set at GameStop is a pack inspired by the Harlem Hellfighters, formally known as the 369th Infantry Regiment.
That Battlefield shines a spotlight on the Harlem Hellfighters' is well warranted. The military unit earned that nickname, after all, thanks to their endurance, commitment and success against all odds throughout the First World War. And the odds were great: The Hellfighters — dubbed so by their enemies, the Germans — were predominantly African-American, fighting for their country at a time when white soldiers didn't want to stand alongside them in battle.
The History Channel video above explains the Harlem Hellfighters' importance and influence. Among their achievements: They survived over six months in combat, more than any American unit; members of the regiment were among the first-ever Americans honored with French military decorations (like many black troops, they were deployed abroad); they returned home to New York and were met with a resounding homecoming parade, practically unheard of for African-American soldiers in the early 20th century.
