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.

Borderlands 3 is the Longest Borderlands Game to Date

by Sam Aberdeen on 24 June, 2019

Borderlands 3, and games of its calibre, are no walks in the park. The looter-shooter RPG's by Gearbox Software take up a considerable amount of gameplay time, easily stretching into the dozens of hours marks. We now know that Borderlands 3 will be no different, as the game's length was recently revealed - and as it turns out, it's also the longest Borderlands game to date.

In an interview with VentureBeat, the game's creative director, Paul Sage, talked about the length of the main story. According to Sage, the main story should take players around 35 hours to beat. This is excluding side quests and optional activities in the sprawling open worlds, which now take you to different planets entirely - no longer locked down to Pandora. In comparison (and according to HowLongtoBeat), the first Borderlands game's story took players around 22.5 hours to beat, with Borderlands 2 clocking in at 30.5 hours. Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, on the other hand, is the shortest of the bunch, taking only 17.5 hours to beat.

For completionists, most Borderlands games can last upwards of 80+ hours. This is also taking into consideration the multitude of side quests which can easily encompass several story-driven games on their own. Borderlands 3 is shaping up to be our biggest adventure yet in the series. With the main quest clocking in at 35 hours, there's no telling just how much content will be crammed into the other aspects of the game. I, for one, will be playing Borderlands 3 for months after its launch.

Borderlands 3 releases on September 13, 2019 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Epic Games Store.
