Why Should I Buy? Unboxing the Assassin’s Creed Origins Collector’s Edition

By 2 Comments

I wasn’t able to get my Assassin’s Creed Origins Collector’s Edition on release day, but it still arrived and holy cow is it amazing. Technically, it’s called the Gods’ Edition, but potayto potahto. It includes a new statue for my statue garden, an art book, the game soundtrack, and of course, the game. It’s all of my favorite things in one giant box!

But is it worth the hefty price? See for yourself in our video below.

Stay tuned for the corresponding Assassin’s Creed Origins Collector’s Edition strategy guide unboxing video. It should be here soon!

Well that was fast! I was not expecting The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild collector’s edition this soon. I found one on Friday for a decent mark-up price, but the estimated delivery date wasn’t until the end of this week. Imagine my surprise when I received the alert that it was out for delivery this morning. So I have the console, the game, and the strategy guide is on the way. Question is, can I wait for the strategy guide to come in before I jump into Hyrule?

Second question is, will I actually finish this game? Zelda and I have a weird relationship with their open world games. Still haven’t finished WindWaker OR Twilight Princess. But I want to. Does that count for anything?

Well without further ado, here’s what’s inside the Special Edition for BotW. I was genuinely surprised by one item, and I’m happy to report that this video isn’t nearly as awkward as the last. Progress!

The BotW collector’s edition strategy guide will reportedly arrive tomorrow. This is one of two CEs purchased. Don’t judge, and don’t ask.

Unboxing the Horizon: Zero Dawn Collector’s Edition (Video)

I had no idea my last video game collector’s edition was for World of Final Fantasy! Wow that has been a long time! So happy I can break that fast with the Horizon: Zero Dawn collector’s edition. This collector’s edition was everything I had hoped for, and I’m not disappointed with any of it. I can’t wait for the strategy guide to arrive so I can unbox that one as well AND play the game. I’m going to use this time instead to play more Tales of Berseria, because I have missed that game so much in the name of reviews.

Did you pick up the Horizon: Zero Dawn Collector’s Edition? How do you like it?

World of Final Fantasy collectors edition

It seems like it’s been forever since I’ve done my last collector’s edition unboxing video for a game. I’ve preordered a lot this Fall (translation: too many) so there should be plenty of videos in the near future. Today I have the World of Final Fantasy collector’s edition, and it’s far more amazing than I thought it would be. I knew it would come in the form of a book (the world is called Grymoire, after all; it’s a pun, like everything else in the game), but I wasn’t prepared for the size of the book or its presentation. It’s an amazing collector’s edition, and it has all the bells and whistles a collector’s edition for a video game should have. Better yet, it wasn’t nearly as expensive and most CEs list for these days. I’m sure you’ve noticed I didn’t pick up a Gears of War 4 CE, right? Even I have my price limits, believe it or not.

Here is the full unboxing of the World of Final Fantasy collector’s edition. Enjoy! I know I plan to.

Unboxing the Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Collector’s Edition

By Leave a Comment

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided released yesterday, and it indeed had a Collector’s Edition. Of course I preordered it immediately, as my CE throne can always be bigger and more grand. Once again, I don’t remember what all came with it, but I was pleased with everything within. The full unboxing video is below!

The Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Collector’s Edition contains all of the digital goodies advertised with the failed and awful “Augment Your Preorder” program that Square Enix attempted to implement when preorders for the game first opened. It also contains a code for a digital download for a composer’s sample of the game’s soundtrack. Most likely, me being me, I’ll fall in love with the composer’s sample and then buy the full soundtrack.

What really stands out with this CE, other than the two pieces of mystery I still haven’t researched, are the steelbook case and statue. The artwork on the steelbook case is some of the best I’ve ever seen. And while the stand to the Adam Jensen statue feels rather cheap, the statue itself is nicely painted and rather well made. I think my money was well spent.

Now I just have to play the game and see if that makes it worth it. I have a feeling I will love it.
