Saw this on amazon and looked it up on gaf and saw no one post this. CE looks ok although I am excited for Hitman.

Looks way better than the Tom Braider statue.

At first I was really confused by the lack of a physical copy of the game, but then I remember this is supposed to be episodic, so I guess it's to be expected.

 

[Get_craycray]

Isn't this news a few days old?

 

[Radec]

Boss.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

That smirk should've been a serious face like the boxart.

 

[PranooY]

Really neat statue.

 

[darkinstinct]

We talked about it a week ago in the other thread.

Rule of thumbs: NEVER buy Square-Enix CE.
Even the FFXIV dragon statue is shit.

 

[Gamezone]

The digital game card ruined this for me.

Better rule of thumb - never buy Collector's Editions.

At least not at launch. Wait until the first run goes out, verify quality/value, then pick one up when the price drops by a third in a month. Sell game, enjoy.

From the looks of every other third party collector's edition last year, we can watch it go down to $45 in a month and a half.

Iconic fucking tie.

NO! Give me a bald cap and lick on fake barcode tattoo. That'd be iconic. Not a goddamn tie.

lmao

 

[Admiral Woofington]

You could just buy a fucking red tie lol

 

[Wagram]

Do they send the statue in pieces as well?

 

[StrongBlackVine]

No way in Hell would I buy a $140 CE for a game with episode content over the next year. I can already taste the regret.

There is a collector's edition to an episodic game that won't be completed on release?

We need a new word for this type of product.

A collector's subscription.

 

[Moff]

I am interested, but will it be released with the first episode or when the game is complete and all episodes are released?

 

[SprachBrooks]

Are all of the corresponding episodes that are to be released part of the initial purchase? Or do you have to buy them separately?

 

[Its Quite Toasty]

Looks way better than the Tom Braider statue.

My god I finally understand tom braider

 

[m4st4]

A collector's subscription.

Or macrotransaction - much cleaner.

This.

Price on this thing is ridiculous, especially given its an episodic game that wont be finished for 6-12 months post purchase. SMH. The trends in the industry make me angry and sad.

 

[Movalpolos]

Good price.

I bought the Dark Souls 2 CE with statue for lols when I saw it for $20 on amazon about a year ago.

 

[SlaughterX]

Looks nice, will wait for it to hit bargain bin prices.
