@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.

Watch Resident Evil 3 Gameplay in Striking 8K 60 FPS

by Sam Aberdeen on 20 October, 2020

Capcom's remake of Resident Evil 3 released earlier this year, and despite receiving mostly positive reviews, fell behind its predecessor, the Resident Evil 2 remake, which was one of the best-received games of 2019. Nonetheless, most fans still appreciated the third game's remake for its tight gameplay and strong visuals - which have now gotten stronger thanks to the recent release of Nvidia's 30 series graphics cards. As it turns out, one YouTube channel has now pushed the game up to run at 8K and 60fps with that new power.

The latest gameplay video for Resident Evil 3 uploaded by Rob Cram shows the game running at a buttery smooth 8K 60fps (if you have the monitor with the correct display requirements, that is). The gameplay shows one of the earlier sections of the game, and uses Jill's familiar modded battlesuit to showcase the attention to detail now afforded to textures and the fluidity of character animations and movement. It's quite a visually awesome display, though it has come at the cost of lowering some effects in the game. As the source notably indicates, most settings had to be tinkered with and dropped before finding a decent middle-ground. Dropping the resolution to 4K 60fps, however, meant they could up the graphical effects again. Check out the gameplay below:

All of this was achieved by using Nvidia's latest 30 series graphics cards, though some adjusting is required to hit these goals. However, this is a great indication for where gaming could possibly go in future titles. Resident Evil 3, at the moment, stands alongside Capcom's other RE Engine-based titles as the most graphically stunning in recent gaming, at least as far as horror and action/adventure games go. With Resident Evil Village on the horizon, though, we have yet to see any actual updated gameplay running on next-gen hardware that would give us a better idea of how the newest RE game might perform visually. We'll just have to wait a little while longer to see that in action.

Resident Evil 3 is currently available for PS4, Xbox One and PC.
