S2TW: Daimyo Edition or something like that I suppose
Anyone here looking forward to it? It will surely be in the style of ETW/NTW, with 2 extra unit packs and some flashy thing, but I hope this time THERE WILL BE NO DIFFERENCE.
It was so unfair, Emperor's Edition for NTW was worth the money compared to the Imperial Edition offered in Europe.
Any thoughts?
Will the basic version be called "S2TW: Ashigaru Edition"?
There is a simple strategy behind this, besides increased profits, "double sales". There will always be those, with more money than sense, that will buy the Ashigaru Edition first, followed by the Daimyo Edition. This style of marketing (i.e. the "collectors edition" or "special edition") is mostly aimed at maximizing sales to youngsters.
Ashigaru Edition is good for me - I'm sure my yari will be long enough with that version.
I've always noticed as well that there is a $10 difference between the two. On Amazon anyway. It is really worth the price for the SP experience which would be my situation?
Sorry the lifesize Yari only comes with Daimyo edition.Quote:

My point exactly. :bow:Quote:

Wow. I guess there really is a first time for everything, then.... ~;pQuote:

It comes with no box, no disk, no manual, or any other physical attributes, However, one does get a special code that, if entered in the appropriate steam box, will reveal a special virtual (picture) of your own Samurai helmet. The special code means nothing and anyone can view this helmet for free, but you will have the privilege of knowing that you paid ten bucks extra for it.:laugh4:
Funny, funny, but it might prove to be the future of gaming...
DLC packs are fine as long as they are very cheap and add EXTRA content, not stuff already in.
