It arrived a few weeks ago, but I didn't open it until today because, well, I don't have a Genesis at the moment. (I own one, but it's in the closet of my childhood bedroom--which is, oh, 2,000 or so miles away from my current bedroom.)
Anyway, when I opened it this morning--so I could ogle it and snap some photos of it--this is what I found:
Case? Check. Manual? Check. Poster and stickers? Check? Pier Solar cartridge? Er. Uh. Well...
I just contacted the folks at WaterMelon, the game's developer/publisher, so hopefully they'll respond shortly and either offer to send me a replacement or give me a refund.
Oh wow. I almost pre-ordered the game myself but figured I didn't need it that much.
ReplyDeleteSince they probably have only a few people actually putting the games together it makes sense there might have been a memory lapse when they went to put the game in your case.
Hopefully they can give you a replacement game!
Yeah, I'm hoping it was some sort of mix up, Marcus.
ReplyDeleteI did receive a response to my e-mail, by the way. The person who wrote me said he will send out a replacement.
Fingers crossed that he's telling the truth!
It just blows my mind that they could do such an error. :o
ReplyDeleteBy the way, that game made me almost throw my controller at my TV. I hate the last boss. I almost beat it but didn't - like ten times - and then I decided to never play Pier Solar again. Never, ever again.
I have a nagging feeling that I wrote about this earlier in some comment... Hm.
Yeah, it's a bit baffling. Although who knows? Maybe one guy packs all of them up and he was tired (or drunk) when he got to mine?
ReplyDeleteI don't remember you commenting on this game before, BTW. Sorry to hear you had a hard time with the last boss. Did you like the game otherwise?
Yes! Some places were confusing but other than that - it was great! A bit too much cheesy humor, maybe, but that isn't something I would necessarily hold against them (the guys at WaterMelon). I actually arrived at the last boss - something I rarely do in RPG's (due to the lack of interest) so I'd give it 3,5 out of 5 if I were to review it. But I don't really like to grade games with numbers. And now I'm ranting again. Note to self: go to bed.
ReplyDeleteWell, that's good to know. Thank you for sharing some of your thoughts on the game. Hopefully I'll get a replacement sooner or later and I'll be able to share mine, too.
ReplyDeleteYikes. That's just the kind of thing that makes me want to throw a tantrum.
ReplyDeleteI didn't throw a tantrum, Justin, but I may end up doing that if I don't (eventually) get some sort of replacement. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteYeah. You'd definitely be entitled to a tantrum.
ReplyDeleteI'm hopeful it won't have to come to that. At least this little delay will give me a chance to either buy a new Genesis or get my old one from my parents.
ReplyDeleteNow THAT must be frustrating! I do hope they follow through on their promise to send the replacement.
ReplyDeleteIf not: go for the tantrum!
I hope they follow through, too, Sean! If not, Tantrum City, here I come ;)
