How many of you are getting the deluxe edition of Horizon Zero Dawn? And why?
I'm not sure which i should pre order and I'd love to hear what your guy's plans are.

I do find it surprising that there is such a big market for deluxe and collectors editions of games with new & unproven IPs. I understand how players can be chomping at the bit to get the best possible experience of a sequel to a game they already loved, but a new IP seems kinda risky, especially as a pre-order with no reviews in yet.
Not judging, just surprised.

I thinks its more to do with people like to play it for themselves and find out ( or if they have the money to spare) even though people may be waiting for reviews they might say bad stuff about the game, that someone else may love, its just hard to tell i guess
1
Regular, I don't get deluxe versions of games.
6
If reviews are good I'll buy the Deluxe edition. I have GCU at Best Buy so I save 20%

Because of the DLC.

The art of this game is too gorgeous to pass up an art book.
2
If you want an art book you should definitely get the full-size one, it's about $27 on amazon right now

This. For me the statue in the collector's its not worth it, and the artbook in the same edition is only 48 pages long. I have the art Book for TLOU and I can say that its really amazing having all that concepts pieces in one place and see how the characters/enemies could've been if the devs went for earlier concepts, something you can't show in 48 pages

Yup, that's what I was thinking - I have 2 small books, for AC:S and Watch Dogs 2, and they can't even compare to full-sized ones for other games. I'd love to have the steelbook, but seeing that there's no "just the steelbook and nothing else" edition I'll probably just the digital version. Preloading is also nice

I got the Collectors Edition for $78 (with tax). It was an unbelievable deal. GCU + Visacheckout. The promotion was in December.
2
wow. I'm paying like $199AUD for mine X_X
1
That deal was great. Hope it comes back soon. It was on a few times and I pre-ordered like 8 games through it since 60$ games were like 36$ with it
1
I bought the Limited/deluxe edtion for the DLC, i would have got the collectors but im not much of a collector so wouldn't make sense :p
1
What dlc is does the digital deluxe have? It only lists a couple outfits and weapons in the descriptions.
1
is you scroll down, everything in the blue box :)

and the ps4 theme, which says at the top, which i hope we do, i thought that was usually just for digital

Is the deluxe not available in the US? All I see on Amazon is the collectors.

Well, I'm torn between buying a preorder of deluxe edition of Horizon ZD or Nier Automata. I still don't know which one to buy on release and for which one to wait. My decision will stabilize after the review ban before release will be lifted. The DLC doesn't matter to me, rather I like the steelbooks that come with it. Love me a good steelbook.

No, I pre-ordered the standard edition. The deluxe edition is €20 more... not worth it imo.
1
its on Game for £54.99, so would be £10 more, unless you are meaning a different store
1
Seeing as he says a different currency to the UK I am pretty sure it is a different store :/
3
just noticed that now, and with my glasses on * bangs head off the table *
2
I'm not from the UK. If I convert the € to £ it would be equal to £46 for the standard edition and £63 for the deluxe edition.
2
Im only paying for the standard editon. 10 bucks more for skins weapons is a rip off.
1
its weird. i loved killzone 2 (didnt play 3 or shadowfall)
horizon's gameplay seems exactly like the kind of game i like (big adventure with weapons other than guns)
but i'm just not drawn to anything it has, the artwork, the mechs, the characters :S sorry
1
I am going to wait to get any version. The voice acting in the game play vids has put me off a bit. I will wait to see what some friends have to say about it after a few weeks. If the general consensus is that the game play is top notch, I will buy it right away, if it is decent I will get it very discounted sometime down the road.
Frankly I have enough to play now with Nioh just out and ds3 dlc coming next month.
1
I have the deluxe edition pre ordered. I would have bought the collector's edition but I don't have that kind of money. I wanted to at least pre order the deluxe because the game looks absolutely incredible. I've only watched the initial trailer and a 15 things you need to know about horizon video that described core stuff of the game that it doesn't really tell you so it was just some minor helpful stuff with no spoilers at all. I'm going in to the game as blind as possible to enhance the experience.

Collectors edition 20% off on Amazon. I have no good reason other than the figure looked cool. She will probably wind up one of my daughter play dolls.

It's only $10 more so I went for it.

It's only $10 more.

Im not interested at all really I rarely have bought any exclusives this generation zero dawn just doesn't appeal to me.

Actually just pre-ordered mine a few min ago.
Smh when will people learn about pre orders.
You choose how you want to spend your money, and I'll choose how I spend mine. Deal?
I preorder shit i want if it sucks i lose money fuck it i got a job lol
Exactly
The problem with that mentality is that it gives Devs/Publishers money regardless of how shit their game is. That is why there are few actually good games these days. Why put in tons of effort making a game when you can half ass it and still make tons of money off it? Like how COD has a new game each year knowing people will buy it no matter what. So really it has more effect than just you losing some money, it effects the gaming community as a whole.
Seriously, seeing as I can burn $60 on a nice dinner and drinks in one night, spending that on potentially months of entertainment I'm not too worried.
