Skyrim Collector's Edition Announced for a mere...

[DalekFlay]

That's a fuck-lot of money for what will surely be a cheap ass statue.

I wouldn't mind a pdf of the art book though.

Only collectors edition I ever bought was for River of Time.
Was looking for the game and at the time at 20€ Collectors edition was the cheapest one I could find.

The cloth map brought back fond memories of my PnP sessions with the system.

Of course, there was a time when you didn't need to buy "collectors editions" to get stuff like that...

I've bought some of the big, expensive collector's editions in the past (usually when they end up on clearance a few months after release) and been largely pleased with the things that they came with. This one doesn't look like it's worth anything near the price that they're asking.

Actually, I've always wondered where the things that come with these big box sets end up. I mean, I've got a section of bookshelf where I keep my art books, and I have a couple of smaller things tucked into small corners of my work space...but where the hell do you put a dragon statue or a frigging Master Chief helmet or some of these other huge things? Are there seriously people that have display cases dedicated to video game collector's edition things?

You're an idiot, and so is anyone who'd pay $50 for a dragon statue or $30 for a book of Bethesda "art".

Wuts with puttin art in quotes huh? Most art books are less than 40 pages and five times that makes will worth the value. Plus Im an aspiring artist, so where better to draw inspiration from than one of the better RPGs coming out in years?

As for the statue, I'm a collector and I doubt I'm the only one as sgc_meltdown has proven.

So in conclusion, shut your fuckin FACE you muff cabbage. You may not give a shit (and thats okay) but that don't give you license to berate people who do.

What kinda name is Garm anyway?

Edit: Pun unintended!!!!!

Sorry to disappoint you son, but Skyrim isn't one of the better RPGs to come out "in years".

well, bethesda gets their concept art from a company in asia or the uk or something. forget the name off the top of my head.

i am willing to accept that "better RPGs in years" as long as you qualify it as 2-3 years.

hell you could even count NV or even AP as you say "better" not best... and it could very well be one of the better ones... but that speaks more to the quality of what other companies are calling RPGs and less about bethesda.

and if you are an aspiring artist, why are you looking at bethesda? they have horrible artistic merit reputation overall with maybe some good stuff in a couple places. all they do is crank out mediocre art. if all you can do is mediocre, then get a job quick with bethesda and get some seniority before they realize you are nothing special like everyone else they have.

 

[Menckenstein]

only 70 bucks.

Is that local to Spudland only?

 

[sgc_meltdown]

the dead island one is basically you paying a little bit more for crap merchandise-ready warehouse stock 'blanks' someone had to move really quick with the dead island logo, a silly white shirt and I think 19 and 20 are dlc items.

all the stuff at that price does look quite substantial if you're impulse pre-ordering while drunk I guess
