Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014

Bought my 3 games today with the pccs and No bonus punches! I wrote CS so hopefully they will fix it! Im like HEY where is my free game...

After I realized what happened....

OMG they can't say that punch coupons don't count towards club cards!!! are you serious?? I wasn't seriously bothered by the CCC going away but this pisses me off. I purchase a lot of items at BFG and my coupon cards should be counted as a purchase on my card. Whoever is making these changes at BFG is NOT doing it for the good of their customers!!

Ok when I read the bonus punch thing, it still says on the ad that comes up that pccs still count so there should have been a notification. What is the point of being a member then? Wasn't that part of the perks of being a member?? Im angry like really angry. I wrote CS thinking they made a mistake but had I known that, I would have mentioned how low down and dirty that was not even giving customers a heads up! Since there was just a nice BOGO sale and I stocked up on sooo many games its crazy, I really don't want to give BFG my service anymore as a loyal member. I buy games sometimes on Mac Games Arcade because they find indie, adventure and other popular games that are made just for the mac and they are a good company and they just now came up with a game club that is kind of confusing but at least they are good to their customers!!! 

Also had I known that you get the 3 punches but not 6, I would have waited til I could use 6 game punches! The games I want are not released yet. I feel cheated. Im angry n this isn't the kind of stuff I feel like fretting over in my life. Games are supposed to be fun and sites are supposed to be easy to deal with and give good customer service! Bet they are glad they don't have the CCC now!

Meg, I'm sorry that you are so angry about the whole pcc thing but it is understandable. BF did not give us any warning.  I am just lucky that I completed all my punch cards and didn't buy any more games today.  

It had to happen sooner or later.  They were on the losing end, giving us a pcc when we used 3 pccs to get games and bonus punches.  I can understand their position.  If they had only given us a week's warning, at least we could have planned our purchases and there wouldn't be so many angry people.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014

I have finished Rebuild the European Union.  That was a very challenging M3 game but it was a lot of fun.  I liked how they made it into separate stages of 6 levels each, followed by a jigsaw puzzle to let us see the actual monument in that particular country.  It started in France and ended in Brussels. The last level was the most fun and challenging.
 
The next M3 I will play is The Far Kingdoms.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014

I also think it´s bad that they didn´t announce the change before  I used up all my GCCs on the last sale, so I only have PCCs now. I´m gonna wait until it´s 6 games I want.

I have finished The Curse of the Werewolves CE (Zylom). It was fun, the map was useful but not a jump one. I got stuck a few times as there is no Hint button (except in the HOS) but there was a WT at Gamezebo . The bonus puzzles were more fun than in Dangerous Games...

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014

 You got to hand it to BF.  Instead of being upfront and aboveboard and give everyone advance notice about the change.  They go about it being sneaky and underhanded and to do it just before the end of the month too.  It's no wonder most everybody is upset with them now. 

I have 1 pcc left and I am saving it for Dark Parables: Jack and the Sky Kingdom game.  After that I am not sure what I am going to do.  I have been thinking of suspending my membership for some time now and not just because of the pcc bonus punches, but because of  right now I am playing Sherlock Holmes and the Hound of the Baskervilles and I got this game almost 3 years ago!  Nobody's fault for me not playing it sooner except my own and this is not the only game either that's been waiting years for me to play it.  On the other hand I keep thinking that there are games coming up that I want and shouldn't I build up some credits.  What to do?...What to do?  I keep going round & round about it.

Stusue...No, I didn't get a email telling me about the 75% off at Gamehouse. They must not like me or something. lol   It doesn't matter much anyways as my membership will renew on March 15th and I am going to cancel before that.  For 1 thing, spring will be here soon and for another I think if I rejoin again the yearly thing is the way to go.  Makes more sense financially.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014

Today's soft release is Fill and Cross: World Contest.  I haven't tried it, but from the screen shots it looks like it's made by the same people who made Asian Riddles and Christmas Griddlers

So that gives me 1 game to get next month.  I have 2 pcc's I have to use next month.  So that's 2 punches if used on BPM, leaving me needing 4 more.  If I understand the new rules, customer service coupons still earn a regular punch and a bonus punch, so if I use 2 of them, I only have to get 4 games next month to fill a card.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014

Just noticed that the PC soft release is TGT for the Mac people.  The PC TGT is a game that was released for Mac last November.  Another thing that will have PC fishies hitting the cancel button.  LOL

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014

I am thinking about cancelling as well. I have a couple of pcc's left and one gcc. Yesterday threw me off and I had to scramble to get another game. I had a few on my maybe list so that was ok but I don't think I will be able to come up with many games anymore. Still rather burned out on HOPA's (even though I have a couple needing to be played and got the new Mystery Trackers). 

I did get Lost in Reefs 2 and Clutter 3 (why have I never tried these games before????).  I will probably get that soft release Fill and Cross that came out today since I like Nanograms. Just not sure what else I want. 

These free to play games have actually saved me a whole lot of money already this year. 

I guess I might cancel and then reevaluate once I get Mystery Trackers, Brink of Consciousness, Redemption Cemetary and Hidden Expedition off my computer .

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014

I have today's soft release on my IPad and it is exaclty like the Christmas one. You get your money's worth on these games imo because of the replayability of them.  who remembers what the pictures were once you've moved to the next level.  A lot of these are free on the IPad with money spent I guess to buy lives, although they renew in a pretty short period of time. You do get an ad banner which I don't even notice, and a pop up for a game each time you start it.  And since they are mainly for other nanogram games I'm not bothered.

I am almost finished the bonus section of the new Mystery of the Ancients.  Despite the fact it wasn't overly challenging I really loved the whole look feel and story of the game.  And you had a lot to do.  In one of the reviews there was a head scratching comment about there being too much to do, the person didn't want to have to find stuff to do other stuff, they just wanted to play and relax?? I thought what is the point in playing a game if you don't want to have to do anything.  That would be like watching a movie no?

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014

Well, you could have knocked me over with a feather!   

I just got an email from CS with an apology and a free game coupon that's valid until 9 March!
