Honest, I played Dark Souls and beat it but I never found it that fun save for the beginning.

>>335214615
You cannot capture the brilliancy of an Estus in a glow-stick. Cause it still need to be drinkable, so unless you manage to make a permanent version that reacts to liquid inside the glass itself without impacting the liquid, no go.
Form and function or bust.

I still think the Demons Souls deluxe edition was neat. A nice, full color, compact but lengthy little strat guide with lots of good info. Fits in the box perfectly with the game too so it looks nice on the shelf.

Bought the game with a buddy on release, knowing very little about it. He just raved about how awesome it was going to be. Didn't use the guide till my second char and it helped me discover shit I passed up.

The SF4 guide was good because it had all the frame data but then it became obsolete with the next edition. Though i'm pretty sure some of it was wrong in the first place.
>>
>>335216421
The item in question was put out by Prima, who makes 3rd party strategy guides for games. Sure, Namco probably receives a kickback for the data they send to Prima, but they don't have any actual say in how Prima ships their stuff.

Point is, Namco isn't involved either.

>>335216343
That's the problem with buying these things. When people hear metal or steel, they think that they are getting something heavy or durable. But most of the time it's just something that fits the metal description and might not even be worth the price. Like how apple used thin aluminum for their for their phones for that "premium feel" only to have the phones bend because they are made of fucking thin aluminum.

Black Ops III's current system is pretty horrible.

Up to (and even after) release, Treyarch maintained that the "Black Market" system would be cosmetic only, and would not involve microtransactions. You play the game, get these little unlock points, and then spend them to randomly get skins, taunts, or whatever. And that's how it was.

At release.

Fast-forward to now, they've introduced a number of "Black Market Updates", which both add the ability to purchase those unlock points with cash money *and* adds unique items only obtainable through it. Not re-skins. Unique weapons.

This is shitty for a couple of reasons. Firstly, the whole bald-faced-lying-to-your-customers deal. That's pretty bad. But even worse, I'd say, is the fact that they didn't actually give you the option to *buy* the items. They gave you the option to buy the points that you can spend to hopefully get the items randomly in a box! Holy shit! There are stories of people out there who dropped half a grand on the game and didn't get squat.

It's just ugly. The whole thing is hideously blatant money-grubbing. I know I shouldn't expect much from Call of Duty, but god damn I'd never seen anything like this.

Blizzard has done nothing but scummy things since the Activision merger.
Diablo 3, Starcraft 2, Post WotLK expansions, HotS, Hearthstone, and Overwatch.

All godawful games with undeserving media praise and financial success. It's frustrating how people allow themselves to swallow such garbage.

Dude.... it's a fucking limited edition strategy guide, not the fucking game. There's no game included in this shitty package.

I never grew out of it, more so realising that everything you get I'm them isn't really worth it. As including pre order bonuses.
Bought the infamous 2 collectors edition and while the bag was well made, it was kind of ugly and I never wore it. Moderation racers ratchet, uncharted and god of war skins weren't that nice due to conforming to the pop-vinyl shape an etc. was probably about 14-15 when I realised this.
Bought the ratchet and clank A crack in time collectors edition only because it was $10 cheaper than the actual game

Well, merchandise is always about making money and the most satisfiying thing is really to make stuff yourself, not buying some mass produced dogshit. I learned how to make something like this (pic).

It's your choice but I feel like you get attached to your stuff when you make it yourself and giving it away means so much more. Dumping your room with dogshit or buying someone something that was mass produced makes me feel empty inside.

The only collector's edition that I've thought was worth the money more than a month past the purchase was the Halo: Reach one (Heroic mostly).

It included Dr. Halsey's Journal from the game, 200 pages of sketches and info on the Spartan/Mjolnir programs' development. Plus it came with a patch and a bunch of neat little things like her passcard, maps, DNA tests, spartan bios.

I bought Orange Box for 360 expecting to mostly play HL2 and Portal, but TF2 turned out to be by far the most fun.

So I played on 360 for quite a long time, until eventually Valve did that random ass sale around Halloween where TF2 was only like $1

The only Collector's Edition I ever bought was Catherine on the 360, and I always thought it was good for the price.

I think it was like 80 or 90 dollars, and you got a pillow cover, shirt, boxers, soundtrack, and the game in a posh little pizza box from the games restaurant hub.
