10 Collector's Editions That Were Total Disasters

Amidst the Fallout 76 debacle, I decided to take a look back at some of the worst and weirdest collector's edition games of all time. I've gathered 10 of them, in no particular order, all of which had their own unique flaws and shortcomings.

@@Graham567 Not only that, but they have to release Starfield before then. This probably means it better be good or they will definitely lose a lot of potential sales. Plus, I have already lost hope in Bethesda's Starfield and TES:VI because they already mentioned that they will run in the same engine. I don't give a shit if the graphics look amazing, I DO NOT want to have to deal with the same bugs and glitches from Fallout 3 and Oblivion in a game that will be more than a decade older than either of those games.

The RE6 jacket shown at 16:09 is actually by a company called Soul Revolver who do make extremely high quality leather jackets either out of Nappa Leather. (Comfy and Mobile) I've gotten a few jackets from them and fuckin love em! If you plan on getting a quality leather jacket especially a replica one I reccomend hitting their website. Jackets usually are around $300+ and they usually have sales every now and then

[@drivernephi2212]

Nappa leather really is weird like that, it looks really good in pictures but odd and flimsy with your own eyes, despite being high quality, so I get that a lot of people were confused and felt ripped off. It also even feels really light and un-leathery. That being said, it's not really what I want from a leather jacket and judging from the backlash, neither did the people who bought that collector's edition. I also returned a jacket of the same material.

[@Gh0stfaceKill4h]

@@drivernephi2212 I’ve actually never had an issue with Nappa Leather like that. They feel and look fantastic. Soul Revolver didn’t make the jacket for the bundle sorry for not being super clear.

I've only gotten one collector's edition game, saw a copy of the Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice limited edition, which was only released through e-Capcom in Japan, with the game still there and some of the contents still sealed, being sold for roughly $25USD. I love the game, and $25 for a 6 year old limited edition is a pretty good deal, so I got it. The box is absolutely perfect, being a set of two cardboard drawers that would feel right at home as an object in the game and fully printed. It had the physical game, a set of visual postcards with nice print quality, a drama CD with a really nice design on the CD itself that can be viewed while keeping it sealed alongside a quality case, a soft plush of a dog in the game, and a small tote that is admittedly not high quality, but the design clearly references the game.

I remember getting the Perfect Dark Zero 'collectors edition' and it cost very little extra on top, this was a time when steelbook limited editions were sold as a standard option for a few quid more and not packed into extortionate collectors editions full of overpriced garbage like they are today. At the time of this game's release, big expensive, premium collectors editions containing polystone statues and replicas etc weren't a common product, especially here in the UK. It was an upfront and honest upgrade to a steel book case and a few bonus DLC codes packed in for a small price increase which was usually worth it for the case alone. Taking all this into consideration I don't think it's really fair to be in this list. And on one last note, regardless of what anyone thinks of it, my god, the art and embossing on this steelbook is by far and wide one of the absolute *best* steelbooks I've seen in my 2+ decades of gaming, matched only by the absolutely fantastic Witcher 3 steelbook.

yeah about the opiate thing. friend of mine got addicted. i didn't take that seriously until then. it was pretty surprising. he had his head on straight, not like he was prone to addiction. he got injured pretty bad in an accident and ended up addicted to his painkillers (i guess they threw WAY too much at him). lost his wife, house, everything. his workplace fully supported him going into rehab, thankfully, and he's recovering now, and got a new house. no new wife, but this guy has zero trouble attracting girls :D charming, intelligent, good sense of humour, easy on the eyes, big fat wallet rofl that's all reasons it was incredible to have happened.

[@ThierryTheuns]

I'll add Saints Row The Third to the list. I believe over half of the headphones sent with the collectors edition were broken, including mine. I ordered mine from the US, and the delivery took three months longer than expected (to NL), so when it arrived and I tested the headphones, it was already out of the period where we could return the headphones and get working ones.

[@SpanWolf]

An industry contact told me that the Arkham Knight special edition was canceled due to thousands of boxes being left out in the rain and damaged before they could be shipped from China.

[@LordAnestis]

Ok, if that leather jacket was made by a top brand like for example the Noble House who are making WW2 replica leather jackets and they are kinda expensive, yes i would buy the collectors edition for 700-800$ but come on wtf are they doing?

[@richardsanchez9190]

I dont mind paying top dollar but its gotta be quality shit.

[@dreamcastluvr]

I think the zombie bait bikini torso from Dead Island is awesome. The statue is well painted and high quality. Yes, it's grotesque, but that is the narrative of Dead Island Riptide, duh! I have mine proudly displayed on my games shelf to gross out unsuspecting visitors.

[@JustKhari]

same i think its so cool😂 sadly i was 9 when riptide came out and my mom defined wouldve took it if i got one😢

Fallout 76 never looked good and I was pissed off when everyone was clapping at E3. It was basically fallout 4 with no story.

It wasn't supposed to be a main game. It was always intended to be spin-off. It also did get better. A review bomb was thwarted by its dedicated fanbase.

I'm just baffled it made it past conception, let alone all the way to retail.

[@vampenga9277]

If I had to guess THIS was their best idea and it somehow got greenlit so they could say they had a statue with their edition. Just my guess, but nice statues are what draw me to collector editions so maybe that's what they were targeting?

I've always thought the Dead Rising bust was clever. It looks like something that you would find in a serial killer's basement and I would never own one, but it's a nice literal play on the concept of a torso bust.

[@puffnisse]

[@CODA96]

I think it looks cool. So you decapitate zombies in that game, but a plastic figurine of a torso is too much? Generation pussy.

[@Suutari4]

@@CODA96 I'm not sure if it's too much but it's ugly

[@goldswaggamer4007]

I thought it was cool. I didn't understand why people thought it was upsetting despite the fact that they're literally mutilating zombies regardless. If it's the breasts that caused the problem, people weren't concerned when you get extra PP in Dead Rising for taking a picture of them

[@RubyBlueUwU]

It may be trashy but it’s extremely useful. It’s a great red flag to show you someone should be avoided at all costs. You see that in their house, you run. Nice and easy.

I live in Australia where our game stop is EB games. Anyway, when fallout 76 was out for preorder for the power armour edition, sales where enormous but when the game came there where so many refunds. I know because I volunteered there. Eventually after months of us not selling any. We were told to sell the power armour edition at $10 au. We had three sales and all employees at my store where given it for free.

[@Jon-py7vw]

I bought the gta4 collectors edition which included a really nice quality duffle bag and metal security bank lock box both of which I still use :D

Oh god, Dead Island Riptide. Bad memories of that. All I remember was it was even more buggy than regular Dead Island and tons of stuff that worked in Dead Island didn't work anymore.

[@MrMastercatfish]

That statue serves as a vivid memory for me because every time I went to gamestop for like two years I could find one in the store somewhere. I’ll bet i could find one laying around there today if I looked hard enough
