Gamestop Preorder perk a Lie

Doogie · 09-01-2009, 02:02 PM

Gamestop preorder was supposed to include being able to fly as a bonus and the insect wings. I wasn’t worried about the insect wings I preordered from Gamestop to be able to fly early and have two travel powers.

You don’t receive early flying power from Gamestop preorder but a stupid pair of hover boots that are very slow and only let you go about 3 feet off the ground.

Hovering is not flying why didn’t the advertisement state hovering boots instead. I would rather have had the Grond vanity pet from BestBuy.

Where do I go to get my flying power I don’t want the stupid boots I run faster without them?

I am not sure why I keep returning to this post. A lot has been said through this post. I had thought this post would already have died by now.

These views are not the views I currently hold. If you want to know my views read my post. This has turned in to a big discussion over the definition of hover and the definition of fly. Who cares?

I called the boots hover boots; Gamestop nor Cryptic called the boots hover boots. They called the boots anti-gravity boots.

I am satisfied with the preorder items and I hope if you received them you are also.

Yah, I think we all thought that.. it was very clear that it was a flying power.

I do not know if it was gamestop or cryptic that made it sound that way, but it was a pretty low class thing to do.

Your order was processed? Amazing!

My order is stuck in one of the intertubes somewhere.

Herculeet, I went to the store the day they received the preorder cards and preordered my game.

I have had several times I have not received my preorder items when I order online and there response is the preorder stuff was in limited supplies.

So, if I want a preorder item bad enough I go to the store when I can and even that is not a sure thing because alot of times the Gamestop employees may like the preorder item(s) and take them for themselves or give them out to friends. I had a friend that used to work for Gamestop and that is what he did. After he no longer works at Gamestop, I have still had that happen so it wasn’t just his doing but it is the apparent culture of Gamestop employees.

The website does say the items are antigravity boots with flight. But hovering is not the same thing as flying. A hover craft does not fly it hovers.

But you can walk on water. I mean look at the last guy who could walk on...oh..wait...he was tortured and killed.

Nevermind, carry on.

It still allows you to move while in the air, correct?

SunYam · 09-01-2009, 02:33 PM

My guess would be Gamestop was the one behind telling us it was flight. They more or likely figured if they said it was hover boots no one would pre-order from them. Yeah I was hoping to get flight at lv 1 and then pick a extra travel power at lv 5-6. Should've guessed it was too good to be true.

I haven't received the retail key for the game yet, let alone any bonus items. I'd ride the 30 minutes to the nearest gamestop and smack a kid around, but it's raining and I have new tires.

Edit: N/M you thought the starting flight would be good. I didn't read your post carefully enough.

Wyloc · 09-01-2009, 02:35 PM

At least you got something. I never got my Best Buy pre-order item
