Do You Buy Collector’s Editions?

TGC writes: Every major release nowadays comes with some sort of special edition to help bring in that extra bit of money...It’s all fancy stuff, and majority of collectors editions are certainly worth the money they are sold at.

However, this is the problem – cost.

I'm a gamer, I'll eat my own faeces if it means I can get a cool special edition.
Although I do that anyway.

LackTrue4K4306d ago

I have only bot one (killzone 3) i was going to get the Borderlands 2, but they sold out. -_-

avengers19784306d ago

KZ 3 too, i got for the sweet Sniper
Infamous 2, Uncharted 3, So yea I guess I do
God of War Ascensions next Kratos figure!

dumahim4306d ago

Heck yeah. I've got my pre-order in for the Ultimate Loot Chest. Had no idea it would be limited. It's times like that that makes it all worthwhile. Forza's CE is usually limited as well.
The rest winds up being found much cheaper months later, but I don't really buy for the value. I buy to collect.

Nimblest-Assassin4306d ago (Edited 4306d ago )

I've bought a lot
-Assassins Creed
-Assassins Creed 2
-Arkham Asylum
-Assassins Creed Brotherhood
-Infamous 2
-Arkham City
-Uncharted 3
-Mass Effect 3

It depends on what it contains... im a sucker for statues so thats why I bought most of these. A lot of people complain its a waste of space/ useless trinkets... but to me its kind of a hobby collecting these things, kind of like how people collect stamps/coins. I think its awesome, because each statue I have reminds me of the great times I had with each game

Psychotica4306d ago

Not a chance, just a bunch of little trinkets that's worth about 25 cents, that you lose or clutters your house up and that you won't care about 2 months after you got it.

avengers19784306d ago

I was offered 40 bucks for drakes belt buckle,
And 60 for the cole statue.
Something is worth what someone is willing to pay for it

Nimblest-Assassin4306d ago

A friend offered me 100 bucks for the ACB jack in the box

They do add up over time

raytraceme4306d ago

I had bought one and made a $200 profit from it ;) The Crysis 2 Nano ed.

CrescentFang4306d ago (Edited 4306d ago )

It depends on the company and what you want. I usually get NISA, Atlus, XSEED and other companies that publish japanese games. They usually have a soundtrack, artbook and other stuff, but what I like most are the outer boxes.
I kind of dislike Capcom USA's collector's edtions so I don't normally go for them unless there has been a significant price drop.

2pacalypsenow4306d ago

Only ones i have bought are GT5, MGS Peace walker , MGS HD collection and MGS 4

Both requels over 2 and 3? Clowns. Those are two of the most boring games I've ever played.

Snookies12160d ago

GoW 3 was amazing, but I personally hated just one thing. (This is on me alone, because I was dumb, lol.) I hated that you couldn't skip cutscenes on repeat playthroughs. I had to go back through the game a third time because I missed one trophy accidentally on my way to the platinum... The cutscenes were great the first go round, even the second... But the third was pretty agonizing.

Haven't played Ragnarok, but I still think GoW 4 is a wonderful game in its own right. Not sure how I would stack them up against each other honestly.

Monstieur160d ago (Edited 160d ago )

I don't consider the reboot part of the original series. The original series were high-skill games with combos and rewards for mixing things up.

solideagle159d ago

lol square, square and triangle is the only combo you needed. I have played all of them on the hardest difficulties...

Golfcoachh160d ago

Maybe I’m just old school but I just couldn’t get into the last two. Maybe it’s the slower action and more story telling but the original trilogy was by far my favorite.

Crows90160d ago

It's not that youre old school. They're different genres

JL2930159d ago (Edited 159d ago )

Me either, at all. It's just yap yap yap. They try to be a RPG's instead of being action games like they used to be.

Fluke_Skywalker160d ago

I'd put the two psp games over 3 in terms of story any day. But not over 2.

TheEnigma313160d ago (Edited 160d ago )

My favorite was part 2 and I think Ragnarok is better that 2018.

Shane Kim160d ago

The newer games are better imo.

ravens52160d ago

There is no worst. Except for Ascension, only cause I didn't play it lol. They are all masterpieces. 1,2,3, 2018 and Ragnarok. 1 of, if not the greatest video game franchise...besides MetalGear.

Snookies12160d ago

Oh wow, I actually forgot that Ascension even existed... I never played it either.

Crows90160d ago

I like ascension. It was different and some interesting combat additions.

darthv72160d ago

If you didnt play it, how could you call it the worst? Its not as bad as the media portrayed it. Honestly the worst are those flash games. they arent even considered true GoW games but in name only. At least Ascension is a real GoW game.

ravens52160d ago

Not saying it's a terrible game. Just mean it's at the bottom of my list. I played a little bit of it. Jus to me, compared to the other main games, it's last.

Fluke_Skywalker160d ago

Ascension is the only GOW game I never finished. Hated it.

Inverno160d ago

Can't agree, older games do so much more than the last two. More weapons, magic abilities, enemies are more varied, level design is also more aesthetically pleasing, and agree with those who say that they shouldn't have removed jumping. Was a time I'd agree, but those old games are so so much better, that they really should've looked into bringing into the reboot/sequels.

Crows90160d ago (Edited 160d ago )

If a game is good then a game is good. Doesn't matter what came before or what comes after.

Inverno160d ago

Of course it matters. If not for what what came before there wouldn't be an after. And if something is great before then you strive to make it just as good if not better, after. I personally don't think there's a fair way to judge the new with the old because the newer games are still essentially a reboot, and went a way different direction. But I still believe the old games did it better. I'm probably bias though since I've been going back to old games and have been finding that they lack all the annoying aspects that devs have shoehorned into new games to fluff out game time.

Crows90159d ago

@Inverno

Im not talking about the passage of time here. Im talking about individual pieces of software. If a game is good then it is good. Thats not a controversial statement. You can compare good with good...sure. But you still end up with good. Now if there is a bad game in the mix and you compare you do end up with some differentials between them...makes sense to compare and see where it went wrong.

But theyre different genres and styles which were individually executed very well.

And no. The new games are not a reboot. Theyre a new direction but simply a continuation.
Tomb raider was a reboot.

Inverno159d ago

The new games are definitely a reboot, and a continuation, it can be both which it is. And a good game might be good, but my point is that if there are things done better before it then there's plenty of room for critiquing and trying to make whatever comes after better rather than just good.
