You telling me this motherfucker is as valuable as a gaming console? That has to be a high quality statue to cost that much.

 

[carlsojo]

Uh... yes?

It's still the only game released this generation that actually feels "next gen" gameplay wise. The nemesis system brought a major innovation to the open world genre that other games still haven't even come close to matching, even years later. Monolith deserves all the credit in the world for actually taking a chance and innovating for once.

You liked it enough to buy the 300 dollar mythril edition of the sequel?

 

[singhr1]

Preordered for now

€233 for a Bronze statue and the €105 gold Edition.

Does it say that it's made of bronze?

You know 5 new games = $300.

You know high quality figures/statues are expensive, right? Especially if made of high quality materials/metals. (Though, i'm not saying this one is)

 

[zelas]

If that statue is metal I'd pay ~$120. Maybe.

 

[Hippopuncher12]

Gamestop is showing it's exclusive to them on their website by the way. Way too much for a CE though...fuck that.

 

[SavoyPrime]

No. Just no.

 

[Perfect Blue]

lol at people who buy this junk.

Yeah they are usually expensive but pack in statues in collectors editions have a pretty shit track record.

 

[The Artisan]

At least they include the game.

haha

 

[The Dear Leader]

That's HOT.

 

[Lucreto]

Does it say that it's made of bronze

I am not sure now

The image from the Trailer thread

The second image says Bronze

 

[Garmonbozia]

That's a WB game alright.

 

[The Artisan]

Bargain. I'll be buying 3.

it'll cost you over 9000

 

[Ponn]

Magnetic Ring of Power? SOLD!!!

"Feel my ultimate Magnetic POWAHHH!!"

 

[Timeaisis]

Uh... yes?

$300 much, though? After one game? C'mon.

 

[MindGamingMantis]

At least they include the game.

Hahaha. Definitely.

 

[Mega]

Pick it up for $29.99 at Best Buy in a year

$14.99 digital in under a year, right here on GAF's BST thread.

Uh... yes?

One good feature doesn't make for a good, complete game experience.

 

[Lashley]

Did anyone really like Shadow of Mordor that much? Seriously.

I loved it

Not this much though

 

[LiK]

Does it say that it's made of bronze?

it won't be bronze.

 

[Shambala]

I had to remove my safety glasses to re read that price to make sure I wasn't going crazy 😂😂

 

[faridmon]

Hmm, this or a switch?

I can't decide...

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Mmmm a Switch or this...

Hard choices my friends

What if you don't have that extra $60 for a game?

 

[moltonasty]

I just cancelled my Switch pre-order to be able to afford this highly coveted special editon. WORTH IT

Spoiler

I didn't, and this shit is fucking absurd

 

[BouncyFrag]

I was hoping for a catapult.

 

[SoRuffShoNuff]

People buy high end collectable figurines at this price point and above all the time. Is there a stigma attached to that? If people are big LOTR fans and like the merchandise I don't see the problem in offering it.

 

[Dremorak]

So will be $550 dollars here then.

Forget about it.

What if you don't have that extra $60 for a game?

Then you could just get snipperclips/fast RMX/ Shovelknight for $20?

 

[Dremorak]

Edit: Double post

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Then you could just get snipperclips/fast RMX/ Shovelknight for $20?

What if you need that $20 for McDonalds?

 

[Astral Dog]

Jesus the first game was not that good

That's why I added the latter bit to my post about statues. I've seen plenty that can cost up to $800, and appropriately so because they're crafted so well. But as mentioned in this thread already, the ones that come with the CE of a game are usually not of that quality.

Comparing the CE statue of The Witcher 3 to a $900 separate, quality statue done much later:

 

[throwawayname]

 

[rockyt]

I do not expect the final product to look like that.
Btw i love the first game and played the shit put od it, but 300 dollars is 300 dollars. Most collectpr edition package have crappy quality. Its better to buy standalone figma and so on for collectors as the quality is miles ahead above.

 

[HackTheSlash]

I fucking loved the first game. But if they think im gonna spend $400 Canadian for this, they are delusional.

Like holy 'ol shit. Thats kinda ridiculous in my opinion.

 

[Joey Ravn]

This game went from "a rumored leak" to "$300 Collector's Edition" in a matter of hours.

 

[ChosenPredator]

sure if they supply me with a life time subscription of free new mordor releases

 

[j0hnnix]

300 dollars? Wut... That nemesis system is working already.

 

[Contica]

If the statue is of Sideshow quality, then the price is fair. I've spent 300-500 on quality statues, and it's well worth it. If it's Skyrim collectors edition quality though, lol.

But what's with litographs and stickers and junk like that. Does anyone even look at it twice?

 

[Mushroomer25]

Did anyone really like Shadow of Mordor that much? Seriously.

Somebody at WB saw a lot of GOTY awards, and was blissfully ignorant to WHY it had gotten them. Since the sequel will actually have other interesting games to compete with, I'm predicting this to be a pretty big flop.

 

[x-Lundz-x]

Who buys this shit, I mean seriously?

 

[MrBS]

USD$300 and it includes stickers. No console skin no buy.

 

[RalchAC]

Gaming companies sure love to sell big ask statues to inflate the price of their CEs.

 

[Lucreto]

it won't be bronze.

Probably not but this image says it is.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

I wouldn't mind and edition with just the ring but fuck that :S

 

[brawly]

300 dollars? Wut... That nemesis system is working already.

lol

 

[SuperEpicMan]

Is that Talion riding the drake? because it would be sweet if we can ride dragons in the game.

 

[Sparrowhawk]

Damn, I thought the Nier CE was expensive.

 

[Zasa]

Looking forward to Air B&B-ing part of my small room to afford this.

 

[jtb]

This game is easily exploitable because there are a lot of Tolkien mega fans that will pick up anything LoTR related. The whole game feels very much like an exploitation of these fans, actually.

really? I would have assumed that Tolkein mega fans would sneer at this type of non-canon stuff (the games, that is) that runs counter to everything Tolkein believed in. Hell, some of them still have a hard time coming around with the Peter Jackson films.

 

[Angel_DvA]

Who would preorder that shit when we still haven't seen the game yet...

 

[JP]

Nah, if I do buy it I'll just get the standard 90° version.
