Baroque PS2/Wii

[Cali]

Has anyone played this? It looks awesome, but I cant decide weather I want to get the PS2 or Wii version. The guy at gamestop said to get the PS2. His reasoning was that Wii is more family, and hardcore gamers will be buying the PS2 version more than the Wii.

"Alright kids, time for family game night!! What do you want to play?"
"Let's play Baroque!! That game's so fun!!"
"Wow we are just having a great time here! Thanks, Baroque!"

*PS the guy at gamestop is fucking retarded.

What the fuck kind of answer is that? The Wii version isn't censored in any way, so the only difference is that the Wii has some idiotic motion controls that you can avoid by using a classic controller.

Who gives a fuck which is more "hardcore?" Is this some kind of contest?

sounds exactly like something a gamestop worker would say

[Eggman]

Graphically bland, forgettable music, hit detection that never works right, bad camera angles, and more! It's a really poor roguelike if you ask me. It's extremely slow too.

They basically stuck a small coating of gloss on the Saturn version and called it a day. You also have to die to get more of the story and to make the Neuro Tower bigger.

I would avoid unless it's really cheap and you have money to burn and there's nothing else to play, which should really be impossible because jesus April has way too many games.

When I said the Wii was more family, and the ps2 was more hardcore, I ment the systems, not the games.
So, its not very good huh?
And yeah, gamestop employees usually really piss me off. This one was really friendly though, and didnt have that "I work at gamestop so I know everything, even though I swear that Phoenix wright was made by atlus" Attitude.

I hope one day Gamestop will go out of business and die
they seem to employ people thse days with NO knowledge of games out side of Madden games and blockbusters

I'm not seeing why that would come up in conversation at all since, you know, in terms of Baroque it's the same thing on both systems. I don't understand why public perception of one or the other would make a difference.

Haha yeah I'm really looking forward to a world in which I can't preorder anything and I have to go to Wal-mart and sort through dozens of stacks of poorly sorted bullshit to find anything I want if they even stock it at all with no option of buying anything used go drown in a swamp

People like you make our job hell when you expect us to know every game just because we work at a store that sells video games. Over at my store, we have at least one employee who has basic knowledge of most game systems and in-depth knowledge of usually 1 or 2 game systems, as well as in-depth knowledge of certain genres of games. Except though, Madden. None of us want to play it or give a shit about it, so we learn about it from our good customers who drop by every day to say hi.

I wouldn't be surprised if you were the guy who came to our store before last October and brought in an application, and when the Store Manager looked up and said "Oh hey, what's this an application?" he just responded with "No it's a piece of paper that only LOOKS like an application" and left. Needless to say his application was never considered. When I first met him he looked at me with disgust and questioned me with ridiculous attitude, "When were YOU hired here." I told him, and he looked at me while turning around then started walking out the store and finally looked in the direction he was going when he had to walk around $9.99 and under bin for Xbox.

In relation to the topic, I don't know anything about this game nor do I care since it isn't a blockbuster.

I buy my games online
I can't help it that the majority of the people in this thread are Gamestop employees

the stores in my area here are all horrible

What I don't understand is how the employees (at least here) push sales yet they aren't commissioned

and the reason why you have to goto Wal-Mart is because Gamestop BOUGHT OUT ALL THE OTHER LITTLE GAME SHOPS IN YOUR AREA

we used to have about 3 mom an pop game stores and they all choked under Gamestop

In my area the gamestop employees aren't gamers, they are brainwashed sales people that only know what they learned in sales training

How can you defend that?

As a GameStop employee who knows his shit pretty well, I'm gonna have to kindly ask you to shut the fuck up. I don't talk unless I've done my research.

Wrong. Only two as far as I can tell.

So complain to Gamestop's corporate offices by calling the number that prints out on the reciept. They listen. If all you do is bitch, then you're not accomplishing anything.

Because it helps us around the time we're considered for promotions/raises.

Hey, it sucks to be them. Gamestop is competitive. It's a free market.

In my area the gamestop employees aren't gamers, they are brainwashed sales people that only know what they learned in sales training

Again, CALL THE DAMN NUMBER. Mention the things that are relevant to Gamestop, make some noise around the people who matter. The District or Regional manager up there will more than likely do something about it.

How can you defend that?

Pretty easily, I guess.

[The Chemist]

This applies to x county in FL: I worked as an assistant manager for 8 months at a gamestop and I can say without a doubt that 90% of the employees DONT know shit.

That was EASILY the worst job I've ever had in my life, and I'd rather chop off my testicles than do it again.

Hm, possibly because most "educated" gamers are lazy shits, so there are more game store jobs than gamers that want to work for wages.

Or, possibly because the employees at chain stores aren't paid to know their products left and right. (Does the employee at the liquor store know the best wine pairing for your special sauce ribs? No. He doesn't. Should the liquor store look for employees that know that shit? No.)

The increase in profits that a store may see from knowledge of niche games is not appreciable in any way shape or form, so why bother requiring employees to know shit like that? This is why your Mom and Pop stores folded. The market is too small for games that aren't "Madden or other blockbusters."

Gamestop offers the most organized selection of games, and for the most part, it offers the said niche games, even though its employees don't have to know about them. You should probably be satisfied with that, because everyone else isPour boiling water all over yourself
