Fans Complain Kojima Contradicted His Own Statement on Death Stranding 2 Collector's Edition

$229.99 Collector's Edition Doesn't Include A Disc Or An Artbook! Fans criticize the Death Stranding 2 Collector's Edition for lacking physical items, calling it contradictory to Kojima's statement.

The first game had a similar assortment of offerings. People complain, but they can just buy the artbook separately.

I’m glad they include the keychain.

Isn't the whole idea behind a collector's edition having something tangible to actually... collect?

[Kyizen]

Yeah but what good is a disc when next gen console won't have a drive?

[Levii_92]

Kyizen like you don't have a brain?

You mean like the keychain, 15 inch statue, and letter from Kojima?

The first game came with a roll of tape packaged with the BB pod, and that was pretty worthless.

People made fun of the baby lamp, but it’s finally gone up in value on eBay. If the statue is of high quality, then OG Kojima fans will love it even more, because it’s much easier to display on a shelf.

No it didn't. Why lie?

Even the BB Pod replica was better detailed (I've seen the released close up version of the DS2 statue) and it came with a replica briefcase from the game.

Then you have a physical disc, steelbook and digital soundtrack on top which this game doesn’t have.

I have the Baby Lamp, and it’s in the case now. I played the whole first game with it against my chest, that way the baby noises coming out of the controller sounded like they came from the actual baby replica.

This statue looks like a comparable amount of quality/value, if not more. The baby actually doesn’t look like $160 up close (that’s the new retail price). I love my Baby Lamp, but it’s quality didn’t blow my hair back. This statue is exceeding that bar for me, even if it isn’t a super cool 1:1 replica of anything (my fav thing to collect).

Yes I’d like another 1:1 replica, but this game might not have a comparable possibility.

Ultimately, I’d rather pay for the artbook separately than see the statue be of lower quality, like they tend to be 99% of the time. It’ll look perfect next to my Venom statue, which was also a rare good statue packaged with a game.

Also, the keychain is cool, and the sorta thing a collector would like.

Temu Snake is crazy

fuuck what.
for that price, id expect it to be included.

[MIDGETonSTILTS17]

You can have quality or quantity, or a $350 price tag.

I choose quality.

I’ve gotten statues before that sucked, and the included artbook didn’t make me feel better.

Go to Barnes and Noble for a book.
