Dark Messiah Gets a Limited Edition

Unread postby Angelspit » 15 Aug 2006, 13:33

A <a href="/http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html? ... 8">limited edition of Dark Messiah</a> has appeared on Amazon, with a release date of October 24, 2006. It sells for $10 more than the <a href="/http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html? ... ">standard edition</a>.



<blockquote>"Premium in-game extras, 1 character skin for multiplayer, 4 unique weapons for single-player, Collectible character cards, Soundtrack CD, Making-of video..."</blockquote>



There's also a Prima Games <a href="/http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html? ... ">strategy guide</a> if you want to learn a few tricks for multiplayer in time for the release day.

Well let's hope the "limited" does not mean the same as what Nival meant (truly limited) :mad: and it actually be "special". :D

I saw another post where it was called the "Collector's Edition" (with box art) in the official forums. I'm not sure if it's the same thing (like Heroes V which had both) but the features seemed the same (though it mentions a Heroes V demo - oo boy! :D)

Anyway, I won't buy anything from "Prima Games".

My experience with preordering games has not been good, When I preordered HOMM5 I got it a week after it was in the stores. Sooo I won't be preordering DM. If the limited/collector's edition is in the stores when I go there I'll snag it. Otherwise I'll get the standard.

After getting burned on the "limited editon" of Heroes V, I doubt I will buy another limited edition (especially not from the same company) again.

Considering that ubi has the final saying in which edition gets what,this one I am very sceptical about.Although,I never was a sucker for limited editions anyway.

Ugh! :( You gotta be kidding. After the outrageous rip-off with the Heroes 5 Limited/Collector's Edition? Anyone gullible to fall for Ubi's tricks again gets what they deserve!

In fact, I won't even consider buying this game until the members of this forum give it a big "thumbs up" … and I don't mean a few UbiSoft fanboys either.

Well, listing the Heroes V demo is a joke. It's like those trailers of other movies that appear as extras on a DVD. However, the extra weapons and soundtrack might be interesting. But I'll stick to the standard.

If there is a Limited Edition Dark messiah, will there be a Super Collector's edition as well? If there will be, I hope they offer it in America, unlike the H5 Super Collector Edition, which I would have bought if not for the fact it wasn't available here.

I think the HoMM V Collector Edition is just fine... I haven't seen many of them around in the local stores in Denmark... So, they are more rare than the normal edition. Plus an extra copy of Heroes II isn't bad either...

So there is "limited", "collectors'," and "deluxe edition" of heroes? Mine is "deluxe edition." Didn't know there were so many...
