They need passion, detail, intellectual value more than gadget value, much like old game boxes filled with info dense manuals, maps, cyphers and whatnot. Or be a card game in itself with stats to play with, or be part of a role playing game or anything.Ĭollector's editions should be made by dev teams, not marketing teams. They could have contained special intel, hints about them, or present like a "file", helping the player to choose his team. The collection cards could have been something of interest, however they offer nothing more than basic info and portrait you can find in the game. Image Miroir mentions a few ways this could have gotten more interesting, adding something one could not find elsewhere. Sadly, I didn't find those goodies at my taste. I would have bought one if the content was interesting to me. I wish great enjoyment to those who bought this CE. Now, alea jacta es! I wish it'll work like this. If you wanted to go further, add a steelbook case for the game.Īgain, I'm sure they did what they could, but it was possible to provide much more with a lower cost. You'd just need a good book and a card game. To print a book, and a card game would not be that expensive. This to say they had to start from: "we don't have money" (and that's not a shame), and from there see what do we have already people want. You just need a game designer for that, that's very easy (I'm from that world, and it wouldn't be hard to find and get). They could even make a TTRPG from it, to take advantage of other's dynamic, they could use D&D5 rules as an engine (the movie's just released, who knows). Maybe a strategic approach where Jagged Alliance is more tactical. So what? Still about the cards, they could try to make it a game (it easy to copy Pokemon/magic rules structure and adapt them to merc world). Now, what about others, I'm not sure a waterproof box is that enticing. The advantage would be to start working on the background of the game for upcoming release, they could include all the concept art they have. Beyond mere cards, they could fully update their background and history. The card idea is not that bad, but they could make it a book including all the profiles of all the mercs included in JA since the first. I'm not sure the game is known enough for a 129€ package.Ĭoncerning what is inside, THQ/Haemimont Games went far to get a little, while they had the gold at their feet.
