@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.

Quake Reboot in Development by id Software - Rumour

by Sam Aberdeen on 21 June, 2021

Quake remains one of the most celebrated first-person shooter franchises in gaming history, with the series being part of the wave of shooters in the 90s that spearheaded the genre as we know it, next to the likes of Doom and Wolfenstein. It seems like id Software, who were responsible for bringing Doom back to life with the 2016 reboot and Doom Eternal, will now develop a Quake reboot that will include both single-player and multiplayer.

Speaking on the latest episode of " class="general_link" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" >XboxEra podcast, co-founder of XboxEra Shpeshal Nick stated that id Software were currently developing a Quake reboot that will include a single-player campaign as well as multiplayer, with Wolfenstein developer MachineGames assisting in its development. The story will also feature a female protagonist. Nick is a reputable source of information as he correctly called a number of reveals in the past, including Hades coming to Xbox Game Pass and a few PlayStation Plus game line-ups. As with all rumours, though, take this with a grain of salt until Bethesda or id Software are ready to reveal the game.

This is quite an interesting rumour too, as Quake has also been long-dormant by id Software, with some attempts to break into esports to little effect. It makes sense that they'd want to reboot the series in the same vein as 2016's Doom, as it would certainly play to the developer's strengths of making excellent first-person shooters.

Due to Xbox's acquisition of Bethesda and id Software, it's also very likely that this Quake reboot will be exclusive to Xbox Series X/S and PC. Xbox would certainly gain a lot from a Quake reboot as it makes sense for the company (who built their brand on mostly having solid first-person shooters), and would be a big win for Microsoft. We'll also finally get a new single-player campaign for Quake, as the last game to have a proper campaign was Quake 4, which launched over 15 years ago.

Sort of hyped and conflicted. I dug the idTech 3 engine games like Doom 3 and Quake 4 (pacing issue sure, but so underrated), though I also enjoy the twitch shooting of Quake 1/2. If they go the Doom Eternal route, it's more likely to be classic-styled I guess.
