-GD-X★ 7,914 Posted October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 i actually like that it's not some special edition design, and that it's a regular bundle. $500 is good for the one x + $60 game + $30 game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hot Sauce 2,750 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Just now, DynamiteCop! said: Why? Because it's MS' biggest game of the year and a game that makes such great use of style. They even already had a great looking, racing inspired console for this year's Game4Paul charity event. That thing is sexy as fuck. Can't just use that because it would fuck with the whole raffle aspect behind it, but swap the colour from blue to a rustic red and the tire tread to the blowing leaves thing the boxart has going on and god damn that'd be a sexy console.

It being its biggest game doesn't mean it should be some special edition. Sure that's a nice console but Forza is a regular occurrence regardless of how good the game is. Things like that should be saved for special releases, a big new IP, Halo etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Things like that should be saved for special releases, a big new IP, Halo etc. I get your point with regards to it being a regular occurrence and a "so why this one instead of the previous one or the next one?" kind of deal since I wouldn't expect them to do it for every Forza game or really even every Horizon game. Admittedly, I'm struggling to justify it from the angle. For me, though, I just don't view special editions as a big deal that should be saved for a handful of games. I'm not saying make one for every game out there, but if a game has a certain style I think having a physical canvas to kind of show off that style is a neat little throw in for these bundles where you assume the game is factoring into the purchase. Sea of Thieves is another game that I would have liked to see a special edition console for and probably would have opted to get that instead of the Horizon 3 bundle I picked up at that time, especially since I really dug the controller they put out.

For Sea of Thieves they did a controller, it's mostly random when these things happen to be honest. I think they're cool now and again but that's part of what makes Limited Edition's cool, is when they're actually limited. Not just pertaining to a single product having a scarce item, but the actual act of making a limited run of something itself a rare occurrence. Edited October 16, 2018 by DynamiteCop!
