what pre-order bonus played you like a fiddle
What does the Pip-Boy app even do?
None.
Pirate everything, buy it if I want to relax in bed playing console and only if I really like the game and want to support the dev.
All game guides can be downloaded, all "Accessories" are cheap shit.
Nothing. I've never pre-ordered or paid extra for bonus/more expensive shit.
I think the last bonus stuff I got was the Lunar 2 cloth map, soundtracks, and medallion and it was all free.
So I feel gr8.
None?
I've only ever pre-ordered for in-game shit, which I'm always satisfied with. More content is never bad.
>>320047418
i hope pic not related because even todd himself said it was a gimmick
>>320047418
The goddamn cloth map they originally promised for Skyrim. Later it became just a shitty paper map like all the other games, and Skrim ended up sucking balls.
>>320048031
Not to mention you still got a game case... with a disc that prompted a steam install. Not complaining as its pretty normal nowadays.
Guild Wars 2 CE, the statue was fine, the game blew so bad I wanted to cry
Only the pip boy edition.
The app wouldn't find my ps4 even though the setting was on and both were properly connected to my wifi. That's $60 extra dollars for a paperweight.
>>320047668
It's a Pipboy that connects to the game and works like a Pipboy.
But outside of the game.
>>320047668
It lets you use your phone like the in-game pipboy, allowing you to access your character's stats, inventory, map, quest info, or radio stations without pausing the game and going through menus. It's actually pretty handy and surprisingly low latency, but eats up my phone's battery faster than my computer's USB slot can charge it.
Call of Duty had some rad fucking limited editions to be honest
MW2 came with actual fucking nightvision goggles and Black Ops with an RC car with camera

Never felt gypped for preordering but I did buy DNF's collector's edition. Everything in it was pretty ok except the game.
>>320047668
It's absolutely pointless, and only appeased complete autists.
>>320048336
I didn't know there could be an anime worse than Elfin Lied. Then I saw DMC.
>>320048848
>worse than Elfin Lied
Fuck that anime.
Eh maybe the max payne 3 figure. I found a deal on Amazon that sold the collectors edition for like thirty bucks so I bought it. It sucked but at least I enjoyed the game

This is the only collectors edition thing I've ever gotten and it's not even bad, I just got sick of keeping the dust off it so it went back in the box.

Kill yourself.
Anyway I preorder my games like two weeks before hand just so I can go into the store and get out and actually play the damn game.
I guess as a kid I technically must have preordered Colosseum 2 considering my GC has the skin on it

The 4-panel selfie comic with that text is.
waste of money when the ff7 playstation collectors edition came out.
>>320048667
>How do I leave a sarcastic reply after several people already explained it before me
Last special edition I got was Halo 3.
Came in a nice looking metal case, but the discs were loose and rattling around in the case because they just glued a shitty little piece of foam to the metal for holding the discs, and they of course fell right off in shipping.
Ended up having to keep the game disc in a generic plastic cd case.
i also got ff8 collectors edition.
collectors editions where modest back then.
>>320052912
But it was made by anons as a parody of said 4 panel selfie comics. Also, wasn't that fad started by that one scene faggot from youtube who everyone has already fogotten about?
>>320049142
>irrational fear of plasma lamps
Did you realize this before or after you bought the limited edition with the plasma lamp. I mean, if you already knew, why the hell would you buy it.
Also, what the hell is it about plasma lamps that spooks you?

I hate NoE.

You don't need such a contrived-ass excuse to hang out with friends, you know.

Kill yourself goyim. You will be doing the rest of us a favor.
I really like the book
too bad the game is boredomfest
>>320049029
It really wasn't. That is the problem.
I got the Scribblenauts hat from Gamestop. They just gave it to me, I didn't even know it was a thing.
the fucking Sonic Chronicles pre-order bonus. It was supposed to be character-styled syluses. In the end they were just inconvenient thick pieces of plastic with a fucking plastic charm sloppily tied to them.Yes I preo-rdered sonic chronicles
>>320047418
It's more of a first print bonus, than a pre-order bonus but the same concept applies.
I know it's going to be mediocre and I'll only use him once or twice (until I get to the point where I am levelling all the characters) but I really want Kamen Rider 1 dressed up as a Shocker Grunt.

Why would you.
>>320054892
I thought it looked cool when I was looking at the trailers.

MGSVTPP:CE, they just released the CE dlc later on anyway. I only wanted the CE for dlc that usually dont get released later on, not for the mini arm or bonus disc. 40 extra dollars for dlc that probably was cheaper to buy later or better yet not at all since I only used them a couple times.
>>320047418
That plastic is so cheap looking. I would be embarrassed to own one of those let alone actually have paid money for it.
>>320055652
Didn't that game also have content patched out of it for no reason? Glad I didn't pay money for it. That's not even counting the fact that it's plainly unfinished.
>>320055778
When I saw the thing, I really thought it was like a little screen with movable dials and everything. Turned out to be a plastic armband that you can stick a phone in, I couldn't even believe it.

I thought the anime was alright and I do like how every episode is it's own story, but it pretty much goes like this

>>320055883
I don't remember about content being patched out, probably was.
Don't remind me about it being unfinished, I want to remember enjoying the game before the abrupt ending, Why even leave Eli hijacking the metal gear if you wasn't going to finish that story.
>>320055609
anon this is a quality fucking post I thought you should know
This wasn't really worth the money, the artbook is quite small, about the size of a DVD case manual. But fuck it I love a bit of Bayo.

>>320057116
That's not too bad. Unless you're on benefits or something.
The Drow set for Thief for $60. Have less than 1 hour but can't refund because purchased way before the refund option.
>>320057000
are the seeds activated?
>>320057076
I think it was like... Sixty, maybe seventy euros, for bayo 1 and 2 in this box?
Anon doesn't really tell but it's worse than it looks. The artbook is the three leaflets stuck inside the cover of the book, and is like, six pages big, with nothing but CGs of a few angels and demons. Nothing of interest at all. The book itself isn't that great either: it sticks slightly off-center so it looks off. The edges of the top cover are super thick and unpainted shitty cardboard. And the top bit sticks out, so it can break super easily if you try to take it anywhere, while also making it more of a hassle to store if your bookshelf size is limited.
Game was awesome, so there's that. But, that's the second most disappointed I was in a collector's edition, after Bravely Default's Agnes' horribly retarded face.

Waited to read this one
collector's editions with shitty chinese display items fall in the same category as anime figures, funko pops, loot crates, DVD collections, and posting pictures of your room in "battlestation" threads. it's all just plastic crap, and while i don't really care if anyone gets satisfaction from surrounding themselves with it, i can't sympathise at all with people who get joy from just owning something
No reason to buy pre-order bonuses nowadays. Video games are a profit driven industry that's looking for maximum cashflow. It's not a couple of guys that designed some cool stuff to enhance the experience of their game anymore; it's corporate garbage spreadsheets sent to China to produce the lowest quality shit that costs them an extra 85 cents and charges you $45.
I've only bought 2 collectors editions.
GTA IV and Fallout 4.

Uninstalled it then reinstalled Torchlight 2, modded it and had more fun, playing with skills that changed how you approach enemies. Diablo 3 is absolute ass. As a person that played Torchlight 2 and Path of Exile before trying Diablo 3, I couldn't believe how ass fucked it was. Jesus, a cheap indie game and a free2play game are both tons better than it.

>>320063178
$160
For this CE. I like it, but $160 is the most I have ever paid for a single video game. This is literally the only CE I have ever bought, though my brother has all the CE's for Blizzard games since WoW's Burning Crusade onward.
I dunno if I will ever buy a CE again, but I'm willing to give Cyberpunk 2077 a chance if the content is good. Been waiting for that game since it was announced years ago.
You guys don't even know what real pain is.
Back at the time I wasted all my remaining neetbucks on it.
CD cases didn't had any booklets, JoWood uploaded some cheap looking one to the forums after days so everyone could print it themselves.
The map was a total ripoff, discs broke for some people, the artbook was thin as fuck and filled with worthless shit.
Fuck JoWood.
>>320061850
This is true to some degree. In the case of Gothic 3, there was no negativ coverage whatsoever.
All the testers, big or small, said the game fucking rocks and the production value is high for the CE.
There were some rare cases of "yeah little bugs, but game rocks!!".
Let's say I learned my lesson.
Preordered the CE of that new Vita rhythm game. Huge fucking box because it came with the soundtrack on vinyl.
