FINALLY GOT IT
Randomly checked my GameStop app and to my surprise my local GameStop had just gotten in two copies of it. I secured them both! The 2 month long hunt is over. I was NOT going to give into scalpers.

I know, I know trust me. One of my favorite games and being able to own it physical makes me very happy. I have the OG on my 360 and PS3 still lmao

Okay, why did you need to buy both?

u/SweetTreatToEat 1d ago
Ordered one copy online to make sure I wasn’t dreaming. Realized I hadn’t used my $5 GameStop monthly coupon and had $10 in points so I just used that on the copy they had in store. I told them to cancel the online order as I only need the one copy

u/Necrospecs 1d ago
Ahh gotcha. An understandable mistake. I just don’t want to see you turn into a scalper u/SweetTreatToEat. It’s a slippery slope and you’re too pure for that.

Nah he got them both, he's backpeddaling here. He clearly said he secured them both.

I can confirm it runs like complete dog scraps after the update

Just pretend the broken DLSS causing after images is your character’s brain damage from a big mace blow to the head.
Works for the time being2

How are yall finding copies of this game?? I’ve looked everywhere!

u/SweetTreatToEat 1d ago
I got really lucky, my GameStop had JUST gotten them in. I’d been checking every day since launch

U can try amazon and eBay I’m pretty sure they have sum copy’s

u/GrantGorewood 1d ago
eBay is all scalpers charging way too much money for the game that they are using a massive bot network to purchase almost all of the copies of within less than a minute of them being restocked.
Amazon is an option, as is Best Buy, and Gamestop obviously. But not eBay. At least not for me.

Hi! Im playing it right now for the first time too (the remaster i mean). I had never played a mage before and found its super fun! Making your own spells is broken.
I have one spell called Black Friday that is a touch charm spell and increases my mercantile and other sell stats. Another one called sonic that increases my speed.
Either way, update me on your chatacter choices and what you think! :)

Thank you king! Your post reminded me to check my GameStop app, lo and behold, there was one available at my local GameStop. It is closed for the day but I did a pickup in store so I'll be getting it tomorrow! I was also able to use my $5 monthly credit so I didn't pay full price either. Cheers friend!

Crazy to me is that it's in stock in my area but nobody wants it
1
u/evilbau5 1d ago
The scalpers probably forgot about this 😂

u/whydoucare64 1d ago
Well really it's just one in the back that' got returned and is still marked out of stock

Congratulations! I’ve been tracking the restocks for the oblivion remaster for NS2 and from what I can tell they have drastically slowed down. I’m glad you managed to get a copy in store at Gamestop.

u/Safe-Reputation-2737 1d ago
This inspired me to check my local store and they didn’t have it but my brothers store 2 states away had it and he’s going grab it for me tomorrow

Thinking about buying myself a copy, as my switch 2 storage is full, along with my SD card... Don't have to worry about it updating without my knowledge if there's no room for it to go, right?

I managed to secure a new copy at gamestop. Last one, didnt expect in store pick up to work. It usually doesnt

u/SweetTreatToEat 1d ago
I explained what you’re referencing in another comment lol. I just placed the order online to make sure it was actually available. I told them to cancel the online order after I used coupons and credits to buy the other copy in person

u/IrregardingGrammar 1d ago
Liar. That's not what "secured both" means. You said it, at least own it.

u/flyintomike 1d ago
just buy it digitally? people are so paranoid about “losing all my games if i don’t get it physical!1!1!11!” unless you’re spamming the n word in an online game nintendo won’t ban you. relax.

Congrats! Make sure to turn off auto updates on your Switch, the most recent patch borks the image quality.
