3 or 4 weeks ago Atari announced the content of the full CE / LE of The Witcher which included also the wolf medaillon, the bestarium and cardgame. Now they have plundered the CE and use it for promotional activities as extra goodies to lurk custumers. They took off the pic of their former offered CE but a small pic you can see hereI know it's not your fault but Ataris procedere really sucks :-[ They are professionals aren't they? Taking goods out of the original CE instead of turning on they grey matter to hit upon really bright marketing strategies is... ***beeeeep**** hmmm, pretty poor. I wish CDPR had done all publishing cases overhere as well I hope the missing items of the CE will be available in your merchandise section soon.

Hmm.. looking at that CE box and the "Pirates!" CE I have standing here, it seems Atari is actually the first one to make standardized collector's edition boxes. WTF? That thing looks exactly the same except for the swapped picture. Seems like the CE will be pushes back on my shelves pretty soon. It's just not pretty. Whoever thought it was cool to have the wolf's lower jaw reaching over the edge and on the bottom side should be fired.I really don't need the medaillon, won't wear it anyway and it will only hang somewhere on my walls (don't get me wrong, would be nice to have, but I don't need it). But that beastiarium would be damn sweet, as well as the card game, which could be fun to play. Sad thing Atari is standardizing CEs obviously and therefore completely missing the point of having one.On the other hand: 15€ for all that stuff that is still there *fingers crossed* isn't that bad of a deal. The thing that is annoying that we were salivating almost uncontrollably about all the goodness in the full CE and now we're told we'll only get half of it.

Seems like i cant find CE/LE pre-orders anywhere in my country´s shops (Finland) ???Other thing wich im really not sure of is that it _seems_that there is 2 versions of the game available in finland, 16+ AND 18+ depending on where you look for the game. This of course could mean nothing, as shops listed spesifics might be out of date etc etc, but it would be nice to know where i can get the CE/LE English version without censorship.

Hi allWe can notice a lot of fears lately regarding to game look, buggs and other isuessI suggest to relax...All we know that making noise about the game even about the buggs can be good for the game in generalWhy? Let me explain...This is the new point of view for modern marketing and PR..People just try to track all information reading even bad news and at the end the all media, players can justify the game on their own anyway...All of the top games all scanned by jurnalists, players like lungs by X-Ray in hospital..People look at the screenshots and see small things, details which will not be even noticed during playing...This is how it is and it's good that way, but don't forget that we can't judge book at its cover...We are smart I presumme so we will have our own verdict..It's a very difficult period for the game just before relasing..Some jurnalist want to show how hard they are, how gifted and expirienced they are..And want to be disingushed from many others..So they try to find some silly details to make us rispect them because of their deep game analysis...I am not experienced player but I want to give a objective opinion..I hope that we will be able to calm down and write some real opinions in a few weeks...I hope that the game will be beginning of something special in world RPG gaming and all of the sceptics will stay with their mouths closed..I wish all the best for the game..fingers crossed

yea me too would have made a cool keychain.have a feeling we are going to have more or lees the same thing here in CA as well that if we do get a CE/LE

 

[link006]

I'm happy they've finally released the contents of the edition so people can decide whether they are IN or OUT on the CE. Should have been done a while ago I should suspect.

 

[username_2061713]

Hi all! Man, I have already ordered the LE and the medallion isn't going to come with it!? That was one of the reasons I ordered the LE edition . O well... The game is going to me great anyways but the could have announced it a lot earlier.

 

[wiedzmin93]

Yes...I want that damned medallion as well.Any devs/mods know if it will be offered in the merch. section after the games release?Thanks in advance...

 

[username_2061716]

[Seeker.217]

[Mothra]

well, that does it. it's official, atari are greedy, sucky bastards.I preordered the CE in advance, just to be on the safe side but now it's gonna be changedinto a regular edition. the Artbook and all is nice, but I know publishers like to take a superior versionand butcher it into an "better edition" and tons of promo material.

 

[Kamano.57]

I still want the lost goodies (especially the cardgame). :-[Atari's Marketing strategies still suck, although they are seem to have their 35 years anniversary. However the actual includes are cool, Atari announced two weeks before the CE-changing, they would release the full CE with all goodies. So they made everyone angry. Please, CDPR, get a different publisher next time.

Mistakes happen guys and girls, its unavoidable.It is indeed sad that this "mistake" had to happen with witcher CE/LE and all but dont get pissed of to atari becouse of that.Atari is okay in my books still, sure they have done mistakes like every publisher but at least they arent buying every good small company and turn them in to rubbish like EA for example.Forgive and forget i say.(ps: it seems that we dont even get the CE/LE in finland and as much as i would want it (the CE that is) im not going to start yelling "atari suxxor h4xord4mnth3m" )
