Stinky12 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Getting a non regular version depends on did you get your money's worth. Pre orders: Most come with a unique item not available on launch day. This edition cost the same as the regular version, and it's up to the individual to see if they want it or not. Special edition: Have extra contents, can worth a bit more or cost exactly the same. In some cases you spend extra and there really isn't anything special about it. Collector's Edition: Cost an arm and leg, have lots of goodies, but again depends on if it's worth it or not. e.g. It's worth it if you pay $100 for it and got a 12+" detail replica of the game character. It's not worth it if you pay $100 just because the game comes in a tin box. For me I'll probably go with a pre order or just the regular version.

Flight180Victm Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 And you sir, aren't very smart.. Did he say the special edition should have additional gameplay features? No.. All he said was if it had additional gameplay it would be a reason for him to buy it. And whats wrong with that? I for one don't care about stupid statues, artbooks and all that sh*t. If they add some cool gameplayfeature however, I might be interested. And why is it bullsh*t anyway? Why is a statue as an extra acceptable and something in the game not? In the psstore you can buy things you can use in the game, so why not add it to the collectors edition? Perhaps exclusive, perhaps for a pricereduction. God the ignorance here. Look if you want to pay an extra $20-30 just to be able to use a special skin, or have access to something that should have been in the vanilla game, then by all means, be a dumbass and do so. But don't make everyone else have to pay $80+ dollars for the full game. Most people thing the way you idiots do, and it's bullsh*t because of the points I made above. Statues/Artbooks/etc. are acceptable as extras because they are usually Collectables, which is pretty much the point of a Collector's Edition. There is a ton of ignorance in this thread, but most of it is spewing from your head and through your fingertips. Cutter De Blanc, clearly thinks there should be in-game bonuses, as do you. It's bullsh*t because you guys are saying it's alright to cut content out of a finished game and sell it as a 'bonus.' I agree with you rodneythesavior.

You mean that they shouldn't keep content separate from the normal game for the collectors edition but if they did, you would buy it to get the content. Still I wouldn't support that type of thing.

No. There's just no reason for me to be interested in it right now. I don't care about the collectors items at all. However, if there would be gameplay I would certainly be interested, but that's about it.. Depending on the content and the price I would consider it yes, but I think most people would. Rodney however states that saying you see no reason to buy it if there's no additonal gameplay is the same thing as saying you want Rockstar to cut out gameplay and add it to the special edition, which is just bullcrap. Some guy here just meant he doesn't care about collectables and would only consider buying it if it had additional gameplay and that got him all fuzzed up. But everyone who doesn't care about the collectables does surely. Say they cut out multiplayer and add it to the special edition.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is developers only do that kind of thing because they know people will buy it. I'm not going to pay extra for some extra in game stuff when it will be released as a cheap download later anyway/included in the GOTY/Ultimate edition.

Bantri Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 lol side effects. I'll buy it new. Only certain games I'll buy new though, and I think GTA 5 will be worthy. I'll probably get the collectors edition as long as it's not over priced and like $120. And as long as it comes with physical content and not DLC cards.

the nameless Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Bog standard new copy (for online features without buying a code). I will only buy a special edition if it comes with an old gta game (hopefully san an) as a digital copy with trophy set - ala medal of honour/ MOH frontline. I would never pay extra for stickers, booklet etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theworldfamous Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) Seriously.. i'm not gonna pay 20-30 more for a sh*tty plastic statue that cost them 2 cents to press out of a mold in China. And why pre-order? Visit any gameshop on launch day and all you see will be V cases everywhere.. everybody pre-ordering their games is damn convenient to stores, they haven't sold anything yet but they can still write it up as a sale. And it makes sure the prices stay nice and fixed. It's a nice and easy way to squeeze out small, independent gamestores...and that's convenient for everyone, developers, publishers, big chain-stores and euhm.. the consumer? f*ck the consumer. Just saying. I find it ironic to see gamers bitch about more DLC, less boxed games, decline in quality, more modern warfare, less creativity, buggy games, sh*tty pc ports, DRM, derivative sequels... all that.. and they still don't see how their own behavior as consumers drives the industry in that direction... it's a sad thing to watch. It says enough that games like Spec Ops and Max Payne underperform and CoD is universally hated but universally bought. EDIT: sorry bout that.. it's hot and i'm cranky. So rant continued: The main point I guess is that gamers are the dumbest consumers ever.. they'll buy any old sh*t that gets dangled in front of them and generally fall for every cheap marketing trick in the book. Example: gamers call 60 euros/dollar 'Full Price', while actually most games drop in price within months or even weeks. Only the top titles (CoD, GTA) retain that value. In a normal economy you'd call that 60 euros an inflated price and the actual price would be more like 30. So why even bother with buying on launch day? Wait two months and you'll save half your money. In the meantime you play the games that launched two months ago and you didn't buy then. That's what a rational consumer would do... but gamers for the most part aren't rational consumers.. they're more like crackheads.

asitsaysinthebook Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 It would be nice to get the special edition, but I gather it'll be way over my budget. So I'll probably by the normal edition and cry at night over all the cool merch I missed out on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
