@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.

Metroid Dread Developer Working on a Dark Fantasy RPG

by Sam Aberdeen on 02 December, 2021

Metroid Dread developer MercurySteam has announced that they’re partnering with Control publisher 505 Games to work on a new dark fantasy RPG. The codename for this unannounced game is “Project Iron”, which will be a third-person action and dark fantasy RPG set to release on consoles and PC.

505 Games’ parent company Digital Bros recently released a press release confirming that they’ve partnered up with Metroid Dread developer MercurySteam to work on a new dark fantasy RPG that will harness the talents of the studio. The company didn’t mention any specific release date or window, but they have revealed that it will have a budget of around 30 million dollars.

The press release states that Project Iron is co-owned by MercurySteam and Digital Bros. A dark fantasy RPG might be right up the developer’s alley too. Apart from this year’s critically acclaimed Metroid Dread, the studio also previously worked on games like Metroid: Samus Returns and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow.

In our full review for Metroid Dread, we called it one of the best exclusives on Nintendo Switch and the best side-scroller of 2021. Since it launched with the new Switch OLED model, it was able to bring out its striking visuals in the best possible way. We stated in our review:

“I need to emphasise how gorgeous Metroid Dread is. The world is incredibly layered and well-paced. Some iconic moments include seeing a future boss lurking in the background only to encounter it an hour later. There’s a lot to see and hidden pathways are littered throughout the game. The sound design also brings this world to life. Sounds fill the sections and growls from enemies are heard in the distance.”

Since MercurySteam’s new project is still in the early stages of development, we may have to wait a little while longer for it. Meanwhile, Metroid Dread is currently available on Nintendo Switch.

Although the Lords of Shadow narrative was wrapped up in the sequel (so long as you played the DLC and 2D MIrror of Fate game), I'd be keen for another Castlevania game.

As someone with no 2D Castlevania baggage, I enjoyed the Lords of Shadow take on the IP.
