Hey @Tea, any chance you can organise a copy of Silent Hill Origins for me? Doesn't matter which platform

@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.

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

Those sans X1 but with X360

is how close the Xbox 360 version appears to be, based on the media we have available. With Nixxes at the helm, Rise of the Tomb Raider on 360 looks surprisingly close to the Xbox One version of the game in a number of ways. We're planning to delve deeper into this version in the near future, but first impressions certainly seem to suggest that this is a game that will be worth playing on both platforms.

Did 2 different people write this? You can clearly see from pictures and videos that the 360 version is nowhere near being close the the X1 version, what is even more weird is at the end of their article they say:

It may not push the boundaries of next-generation hardware from a gameplay perspective, but the visual upgrades alone are well worth the price of admission, and the fun factor in the title cannot be denied.


That's just a blatant contradiction. This felt like a rushed analysis I wanted more info on it but suppose I'll just see for myself.

I think the Xbox360 port looks pretty damn good.

LOL - obviously the X1 version is going to be where it is at if you have an Xbox One. However multiple sources are seemingly indicating the Xbox 360 version isn't some crappy port. Good news all around I would think.

Don't think anyone is saying it doesn't look good, on it's own, once it is side by side then you can see the clear difference. I mean watch that video in full 1080p on a proper screen, the first shot has the sun missing for crying out loud

Very poor choice of words used in that article.

Also don't think there was anyone that thought the port would be bad, it's Nixxes, their track record speaks for itself, the only crap thing about them is they never branch out to other developers because if they did we probably would get much better quality ports.

Xbox is subjecting eight people to intense wind, Arctic cold, sudden heat, and snow whilst standing on a billboard for 24 hours.

The eight contestants will have their plight live-streamed on a dedicated website and Twitch from 1pm GMT/8am EST on Thursday. Sadist viewers can vote for the harsh weather conditions inflicted on the competition entrants.

The last person standing on the ledge, which is situated on a real billboard in London, will win "a trip inspired by Tomb Raider."

Holy[censored] balls!!! RoTR is jaw droppingly amazing!

I can't believe this game was nowhere near my "got to get" radar But I'm glad I didn't follow this game, as there's been no spoilers for me or reveals of anything that will be in the game...so I'm pretty much learning on the fly

If I didn't have an X1, I would buy one just to play this game, its FREAKEN AMAZING!!! UC4 will need to bring something very special in the Action Adventure game genre to make an impression or to compete with this game, to beat this game UC4 would have to do the impossible, of which I'm not even sure what that would or could be

Excellent Graphics
Great Gameplay
Lots to do and find
Good Story
Love the stealth play
Lara is HOT!!!

Definitely GOTY in my books !bm

I don't see UC4 topping this game to be honest, even more so after the UC4 gameplay reveals, this dethroned UC2 for me, it is now the pinnacle of the genre. I spent the night just warping back to zones and making sure to 100% all areas as I am now at the last hub area and there is still just so much to do and fine, I was still finding crypts and caches in areas I thought I was done in, exotic animals appearing and getting to places you previously couldn't because you didn't have certain tools. It all just fits perfectly, this is my perfect blend of open world and linear gameplay.
