10 Collector's Editions That Were Total Disasters

but people hide pretty cheap quattro pam seems to be really on sis, you can imagine why those who buy the

collector

's edition with certain expectations might find this a pretty disgusting move on Bethesda's part, so it's pretty thin as if almost could be seen through. You'll see that when you hold it up to the light, I also open it up to be a little thicker, which hurts me, not enough to control a particular browser or be on a machine or forget about food, not that it makes them , you could choose the definition of the thing, I think I'm not going to eat here so you'll notice there's some really weird stuff in here and that's why I wanted to unpack one of these for you guys, this is a real bib like the back here I don't know if this camera will catch it but I know this guy probably doesn't have the best quality so he won't use them and one thing I don't like about this is that it's very cheap and cheesy you can see here they try to make it look rough and it's pretty bad.

I'm Batman. The debacle that was the Fallout 76 Power Armor Edition is just the latest embarrassment when it comes to disappointing Collector's Editions and this got me. Thinking about all the terrible special

editions

that came out before, some of them were borderline scams and others just didn't deliver on what they promised to deliver. In this video I'll be going over 10 of the most expensive, overrated and disappointing Collector's Edition games over the years and we might as well start with Fallout 76 as it's one of the worst handled Collector's Edition releases in a long time. . First announced at e3 2018, Fallout 76 looked like a promising entry in the beloved Fallout series that Bethesda decided to capitalize on by announcing an expensive special edition.

The Fallout 76 Power Armor Edition was priced at US$199 and was released on the same day as the regular game, November 14, 2018. The Fallout 76 hype train quickly tanked. when fans realized that the game had bugs, incomplete and mediocre multiplayer, a disaster, country roads take me home, rather they take me to a finished game, what would they be thinking if the game itself didn't Was it disappointing enough for the loyal fans who bought the power armor? Edit, they were also very disappointed when it came to other items in the package, namely the canvas bag that was sent to customers, which was made of a flimsy nylon material and looks nothing like the bag which is shown in the promos to add insult to injury that many YouTubers and influencers who got an early version of the game received a much nicer duffel bag, one that looks much more like what fans were promised.

Clearly, Bethesda had its priorities in order by trying to please online influencers instead of pleasing its core fans as compensation for all of this. Bethesda offered $5 in in-game currency to customers who purchased the bundle, unsurprisingly, fans were still outraged as $5 in in-game currency for a game they didn't even like wasn't enough. Finally, on December 3, 2018, Bethesda would announce a sensible solution for its angry customers. Their PR executive Simon Baldock announced the following: attention to Fallout fans, their canvas bags were shit, they're going to need our help to send real bags. all we will need is your personal information your phone number home address and full name, but you have to be quick, our Chinese factory is running out of clothes, as if Bethesda couldn't give any less, somehow their support team managed to leak the addresses and personal information of customers who are set to receive their new duffel bags and I'd like to imagine that Todd Howard personally ordered this to be done on purpose to teach the fans a lesson for all their complaints.

Something like this probably happened, oh oh, you guys thought it was done, huh. Do you think this is a game? You think you can complain about my game and get away with it? I mean, I'm selling a game, but if you want to play hardball, we'll play hardball addresses, names, phone numbers, support team, you know what? Yes, yes, I'll show you, thanks Todd, okay, moving to Dead Island is a series that was originally developed by a company called Tech Land and interestingly, Dead Island Riptide was the last game in the series developed by Tech Land and can This is partly due to a scandal surrounding the addition of zombie bait to the game, which cost US$160.

This edition included a weapons pack, a DLC collectible artwork, and of course, the item every gamer wants: a grotesque, mutilated statue of a woman's bloody torso almost immediately afterwards. Upon announcing this, the developers received a wave of backlash from media personalities and consumers who called it disgusting and in poor taste just hours after announcing the Deep Silver pack. The publisher hilariously apologized, although the zombie bait edition was still selling in Europe and Australia even though the company issued it. the statement that we want to reiterate to the fan community and the industry how deeply we are sorry and that we are committed to ensuring this never happens again, in contrast to Techland.

Treyarch seemed to go to great lengths to make sure their special edition of call of duty world at war was as tame as possible and it still backfired released on November 11, 2008. The

collector

's edition of call of duty world at war came with codes for double experience, a metal can and a steel canteen, all for the relatively low price of $80. The canteen was a great idea, fits with the WWII era and finally players could discreetly drink their alcoholic beverage of their choice while playing, truly a dream come true. Wait, what is that? The canteen doesn't open well, at least you can display it on your shelf. no, no, it doesn't even stand up, so it's basically a useless hunk of metal that has Call of Duty written all over it.

Yes, this sucks. Thanks Treyarch, you know what doesn't suck? An exclusive collector's edition gift box from our friends at Capcom. Resident Evil 7 biohazard truly lived up to its name with the collector's edition released on January 24, 2017, which included a metal case, a VHS tape case, a lithographic photograph, a bloody finger-shaped USB drive, a spooky note and finally a replica of a mansion model music box, all for the price of one hundred and eighty US dollars now, first of all, it looks like someone just threw out a bunch of discounted miscellaneous items from a Halloween store and put them in this box.

The creepy note looks like a replica of a piece of gas station toilet paper with scribbles on it. In it, the USB stick is just a cheap USB drive with a plastic finger and most gamers probably have more USB drives around their desk than they know what to do with the can and VHS box. I mean, okay, I guess the photo looks good. It's cool, but the mansion surely steals the show in this edition. Well you see, the mansion would have been a great masterpiece if it weren't for the many problems they had with manufacturing in both the UK and the US, many of the mansions were either defective or not.

It didn't work properly and some people even claimed that their mansion had a horrible lingering chemical smell. I guess Capcom wanted to offer the most authentic biohazard experience possible. These issues caused the product to be canceled and refunded in the UK and faced delays for Next on the list, US customers, is the collector's edition of Perfect Dark Zero, which came out on November 22, 2005. Now, if there is something players love to read and what's the best way to get players to buy a book they don't care about, obviously including a chapter of a book they don't care about in the game, the developers rarely included a bonus DVD , a medal game case, a holographic card, a comic, 'allows Xbox Live avatars and the first chapter of the novel related to the game now.' I'm not saying this package was the worst deal ever at only $60 dollars.

I mean, holographic cards were huge in the early 2000s, which alone made this an orphan. However, I find it a little funny that the preview chapter of the book basically served as an advertisement that fans were paying for, also stay tuned for my full review of the Perfect Dark initial vector coming out soon. Rocksteady Studios must also have been disappointed with the single chapter included in Perfect Dark zero as a collector's edition because in its $200 Batmobile edition of Arkham Nights it included three books, an art book, a comic, and a steelbook, for example, that rare, and also a Batmobile that was so poorly made that they had to refund all sales and the package was eventually cancelled.

Three books, the Batmobile edition would be released in June. 23, 2015 along with the game, but as I mentioned there were problems with the manufacturing and apparently the product did not meet the quality standards so it had to be canceled and those who bought it were refunded, however, I came across a youtuber called Game Lutz who somehow got his hands on the unreleased edition of the Batmobile and actually took it out of the box. The Batmobile he has appears to be functional and of fairly decent quality. It's a shame this package never made it to most customers because I think it actually would have been a great collector's item.

The next article is a game that actually delivered its limited edition and yet somehow I still have more questions than answers from what I can tell, sorcery saga, the curry curse, God is an exploration game dungeon crawler with a curry food theme. developed by Compiled Heart and released on December 10, 2013 for the PlayStation Vita, of all things, the limited edition package for this game was called hot and spicy all nice and limited edition and if you think that's a mouthful, wait until try the curry first. This is all a rare example of a limited edition game made for a handheld console, which is pretty cool in itself, but the developers compiled Hart went a step further and took notes from Capcom's book and also took a trip to the dollar store to collect the items they included in this limited edition, which were as follows: a cheap plastic spoon, a small plastic plate with game art, and a custom-made bib designed specifically for men and boys, weeaboo trash, all for the affordable price of 50 US dollars. dollars, sign me up, one thing I can say is that Compil Hart certainly knows how to cater to their fans, aside from being a little weird, this limited edition has a practical purpose.

You can play Witchcraft Saga, Curse on God Curry while lying on your bed. Eat curry without the mess or cleanup thanks to this handy, stylish container that taps into a similar demographic. Lionhead Studios Fable 2 enjoyed a lot of hype when it launched on October 21, 2008, trying to capitalize on this enthusiasm. Lionhead Studios made plans to release a limited edition of the game that was announced to include bobblehead fable-themed tarot cards and a making-of DVD priced at $90. Originally, but like all fable games, this limited edition was developed by Peter Molyneux, the publishers overpromised and underdelivered, Microsoft apparently ran it due to some supply chain issues, which basically means we forgot to order them , Oh! and, as a result, shortly before its release.

The limited edition had to cut out the bobblehead and taro cards, which also lowered the price to $69. I found a forum thread from 2008 where a lot of fans seemed excited to buy the limited edition specifically to get the doll and must have been disappointed when they found out that all they would end up getting was a DVD that could be viewed online and much more. of download codes for small DLC items even after the limited edition budget cut, although Microsoft still found a way to screw customers, many customers who purchased the limited edition did not receive download codes for in-game items.

Microsoft issued a statement acknowledging this error. and offered a solution if you bought a copy of the fable in a limited collector's edition that appears to be missing the DLC card, enter your Windows Live ID here and once again you got them, ladies and gentlemen, we got it, no , I'm just me. I'm just kidding, hey, it would be funny if it was the next game that was based on one of the most legendary filmmakers of all time, a name linked to the greatest cinematic masterpieces of an era. That's right, I amtalking about John Woo and more specifically his game John woos stranglehold, which sounds like a Brazilian Jujitsu move.

The game was developed by Midway and produced by Mr. Wu himself was released on September 7, 2007 for both Xbox 360 and PS3 and of course there was a limited edition because new fans would eat anything that had the name of John Woo. Of course, the limited edition was different for each console for $70 for PS3. Players got a Blu-ray copy of John Woos, a thrilling action-packed movie, included on the game disc. Xbox 360 players received a behind-the-scenes documentary about Midway, bringing John Woo's style to video games, extended cutscenes, concept art, and an insider's look at fascinating sound design; However, this limited edition did not include any copy of the hard film or any of John Woo's films, in contrast, although the PS3 version included nothing other than the hard Blu-ray, none of the extras found on The 360 ​​version was on the PS3 version and since the movie was on the game disc, it was missing some minor playback options, you know, I don't know, rewind, fast forward and slow motion, but you know, I guess that's not it. necessary anyway, since the whole damn movie is in slow motion, but at least you get to experience the magical wonder of a timeless John Woo classic and the last entry on this list is once again Capcom and with the same series of games, this time with Resident Evil. 6, the leather jacket edition that was released on October 6, 2012.

Now, at first glance, this collector's edition looks pretty cool. You get a replica of a genuine leather jacket based on the main characters of the Leon game. You also get four custom tablet cases which you know are a rare inclusion. but well, the leather jacket, I mean it's very useful and practical. You could use it for your Leone cosplay, you know? Or you could just wear it for a night out on the town. It's just a nice leather jacket. Who doesn't want that? Not only that, but Capcom delivered a quality product this time. I mean, according to this guy's unboxing, it looks flimsy and thin, but I still want to say that it is supposedly a leather jacket and you can trust its quality because the product was so good that it was actually endorsed by the development team who , of course. are well known for their cutting-edge fashion sense, however, much like the Resident Evil 6 logo, the leather jacket edition is starting to look quite messy upon closer inspection, the price of this deal has been set at an absurd $1000 US dollars.

So that's $1,000 for the leather jacket for tablet cases and a video game. Considering the fact that you can buy the same leather jacket on eBay for as little as $115, a reasonable profit margin for this deal might have been something like two hundred and fifty dollars. or three hundred dollars, but no, instead, they decided to mark it up by an incredible six hundred dollars, which is a four hundred and fifty percent markup for purchasing the jacket and the game separately. That's not just bad business. I'd call it highway robbery. We're effectively paying an extra $800 for four tablet cases you'll probably never use, and why are they giving away tablet cases anyway?

Our Resident Evil fans, avid tablet users, do you really need four separate cases for your smart devices? weird choice wait a second when they said tablet cases they meant those type of tablets like pills yeah by tablet cases they are actually containers for the opiate you choose based on the healing element of the game hey you see this game , a great game, it has everything. in it, running around shooting zombies, oh look at these tablet cases, they are great for protecting your tablets, okay, look at this genuine leather jacket straight from the jungles of Thailand, now we can do this the easy way or the hard way, I You pay the small amount. fee $1,000 it's all yours you leave and I give my son Todd Howard a little ring he will make sure all your private information disappears bye capisce by the way, in all seriousness, the opioid crisis is a hugely important issue that affects millions of people who are overprescribed by big pharma don't care about people's lives and only care about their greed and the money that fills their pockets.

That being said, I'm glad that at least Capcom is bringing some attention to this epidemic, thank you. Plus, look how stylish you look. This jacket mom said it's my turn to turn on the PlayStation. What do you buy in any of this? That is sure.
