@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.

@DarkWingDuck

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.

MrOde very good point! I'd pay extra for express overnight shipping.

HaseoVII SAME regarding FF7Rebirth (best believe I preordered Revelation though )

I am such a huge fan of Nexus Hub - no one else in SA imports the niche titles - I used to need to get my stuff from Amazon Japan/US

My backlog is so big I don't care how late I get my orders lol haven't even played FF7 Rebirth or even Stellar Blade yet, but that's just me.

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.

Shipping costs on games? What's that?

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.

I mean if I can save money, why wouldn't I?

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.

How much would "free delivery for orders over R 1000" affect your decision to more purchases from Nexus Hub?

Beyond the limits of civilization lies an island, a lawless place ruled by piracy and human misery, where your only escapes are drugs or the muzzle of a gun. This is where you find yourself, trapped in a place that’s forgotten right from wrong, a place that lives by the principles of violence. Discover the island’s bloody secrets and take the fight to the enemy; improvise and use your environment to survive. Beware the beauty and mystery of this unexplored paradise and live to outwit its roster of ruthless, desperate characters.
You’ll need more than luck to survive.



Far Cry 3 players step into the shoes of Jason Brody, a man alone at the edge of the world, stranded on a mysterious tropical island cut off from civilization. In this savage paradise where lawlessness and violence are the only sure thing, players will dictate when, where and how the events of the game unfold. Players will slash, sneak, detonate and shoot their way across the island in a world that has lost all sense of right and wrong.

KEY FEATURES:

  • Unique and Fully-Realized World - The island of Far Cry 3 will drop the player into a rich and stunningly well-realized environment, full of intriguing characters to meet, locations to explore and explosive fights to jump into.



  • Narrative-Driven Experience - Alone on a tropical island, the player will have to confront the dark side of humanity. As Jason Brody, gamers will be impelled to act as he learns more about the horror and corruption that is taking place on the island.



  • Modern-Day Setting & Context - Far Cry 3 exists within a world of conceivable reality, where the events could have been ripped straight from the headlines of the news.



  • Environment Rich with Opportunities - The natural environment is a tool to be used for survival, improvising your attack or deception of the enemy. Gameplay will reflect the range of opportunities and variety only this type of environment could provide.

    Can not wait for this one!!
    The last one was very good, just very brown! & driving from point A to B was a bit boring with no in car radio!
    I'm love the new tropical location!

    Im keen to see the technology behind this, crysis 2 was a bit dissapointing but this looks set to impress!!

    AND I have been missing gaming in a Jungle environment since I completed Dead island and thatguy looks just as creepy as a zombie!

    Crysis 2 was disappointing!
    The jungle settings are always the best, & look a lot better too!
    I just hope they fix the AI! It was very inconsistent in the last game! & those hand gliders where rubbishy!! If you could even find one, you crashed it after 10 seconds

    @Knight
    Far CRy 2 was terrible and boring as all hell. Ubi is obviously trying to go back to the first Far Cry, which was by Crytek, but I doubt they'll get it right. Also I'm not a fan of jungle warfare, I prefer Urban Combat.

    As for Crysis, both games have sucked, they're more tech demos than actual games.

    I normally get the Crysis and Far Cry games just to see the technology theyre running on and then to mess around with the level editors.

    @DG I have to admit, FC2 could be very boring at times! But i always managed to keep my self entertained, like hunting wild life! I just hope the animals are a bit more robust this time around! If they even touched your car, they dropped dead

    If they can incorporate stealth in the jungles, it would rock.

    Personally I thought Far Cry 2 was brilliant despite it's many annoyances - malaria, re-spawning enemies etc. Really looking forward to number 3. I plan to use the machete on that dude with the bad haircut

    @ scottie - Ditto - I liked 2 but stopped playing it as the travel to save points issue got to me on the console version. The world it set was beautiful - and to have the option to burn it down was even better

    @ Tea - I got around the travelling by always driving as the crow flies, even over huge cliffs etc. Nothing beats flying in a jeep which would then roll 5-6 times on landing - out would come the trusty wrench/spanner and all was good as new! Hugely rewarding if could persevere - great ending as well.
