Happy to hear it! Good tower defense is worth its weight in gold, imo. Rune-wise I try to stick to just the one life one (as once even one hero reaches you you're probably screwed as more will follow), but I'm a weenie when it comes to challenge, haha.

Dead Island's zombie lady torso collector's edition is my favorite collector's edition anything ever because an entire committee of people had to look at that and say, "people will want this". Artists, modelers, sculptors had to look at it and say, "people will want to look at this." Stores, television channels, production companies had to look at it and say "we will market this". What ends up being hundreds of people had to look at that and say not just to others but to themselves that it's something the world deserves and something fans of Dead Island will want to have, and not cry. It's wonderful.

Snak posted:Yeah, two of the most popular franchises in American had some crazy poo poo. It's way more common in Japanese games. I mean theres still stuff in like Dead Island and Witcher and others. Its not uncommon. Hell even indie games are starting to ship with physical bonus goodies like Shantae and Shovel Knight, although more than likely thats because pretty clearly inspired by the Japanese counterparts

Yeah I know that AAA games tend to get big fancy preorder packages, I just meant that it seems like a lot of japanese games have it regardless and I wasn't sure if that was just confirmation bias on my part or if japan actually does do that kind of thing more often with its games, both AAA and not

Same reason why Dead Island got so much coverage

Funny thing about the dead island zombie lady torso is that it's a prime example of why infamy and bad PR don't always net you the same outcome as good PR. Riptide still sold like dogshit even with the 'controversy' surrounding the collector's edition.

Didn't we learn that already with that company that did the shadowman 2 poo poo or whatever it was called with the ads on graves?

It was Shadowman 2econd Coming, yes. 2econd Coming is the actual name of the thing, too. It's not Shadowman 2: Second Coming, it's 2econd Coming.

Posting Indiebox is sort of cheating though, those editions weren't widely available and a lot of them came out way after the actual game

I wish there were more special editions that were just game plus art book or whatever without all the rest of the crap. Art books are usually cool additions, but I don't want some ridiculously stupid and useless statue or iconic cap or clunky phone wrist band.

This is from an entire Lootcrate style subscription service that takes older indie games and sends you a physical box a download code, a physical copy of the game/soundtrack on disc, and some extra goodies. On one hand it's kind of fun from a design perspective to see The Stanley Parable has a box that looks like a piece of Windows 98 office software and comes with a tie, business cards, and a mousepad but on the other hand you're still paying $30 for a game that goes on sale for a tenth of that all the time just so you can have a box and what amouts to a bunch of convention swag.

I liked the New Vegas special edition because the feelies were really simple poo poo that didn't need to be compromised in order to be interesting physical items. Like stop trying to make working Pipboy replicas a thing they're never gonna work as well as you want them to.

I once watched an unboxing video of a guy showing off his cool glowing electromagnetic blade from his Metal Gear Rising preorder and I swear as he was looking at it and his shelf of other useless 'swag' I pinpointed the exact moment he realized he was wasting his life.
