GP: "Year in and year out, gamers are flooded with enough games to satiate people with even the most eclectic palettes. Now that we have set 2011 in our collective rear view mirror and engaged in everlasting debates comparing games unlike one another, at least one thing is certain: this year welcomed a copious amount of quality titles, many of which were simultaneously released with their own Limited and Collector's Editions despite continued economic woes for many game companies and consumers.
The bulk of consumers are usually content with the actual video game itself, but for those who wish to celebrate their fandom with trinkets and digital content, these special editions can be great additions to a collection. Sadly, special editions are like the games themselves- significantly varied in both quality and value. So which special editions were the best of 2011 (or the best individual pieces) and which were best left behind?"
ScreenRant's Stephen Tang writes, "The Elder Scrolls 6 won't be releasing for a while, and in the meantime, the modding community has been making Skyrim into a next-gen game."
That’s just laughable to me. I think they’ve squeezed all they can out of an 12 year old game
"Easily" because they see mods, says the gamer. To heck with licensing, terms agreements conditions, etc. all you need to do is belive in mods. Yeah, so real superficial BS yo.
Do people not want to play a new game? Like, I’d rather see 6 than just a prettier version of a game we’ve been playing since the 360/PS3 gen…
I don't want a next-gen version of a game I've already played to death. Skyrim was a great game, but I'm over it.
Activision has not launched the Warzone and Modern Warfare 3 Gundam collab cosmetics, and also freebie skins in celebration of Pride month.
Nice to have inclusivity. Happy Pride Month to the Puerto Rican community & the LGBTQ community here in NYC.
Captain Price's fate at the end of 2011's Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 could've been very different, as this new post-credits scene reveals.
Interesting idea. I wish we could get the golden nunchuck here like you can in Japan.
the only special edition I bought last this year (Well, one that cost more) is the Deus Ex Augmented edition. Only 10 quid more
It's too bad the author didn't mention the CE for The Witcher 2. It had so many things in it (huge art book, dice & cards, coins, DLC, papercraft) and a stone bust of Geralt, not just a plastic statue. Other than that it was a decent list.
I'm pretty happy with my MW3 collector's edition. I'm probably not planning on buying this years COD so getting all that DLC for a huge discount is a huge plus.
