Just got it in the mail.

tinbox is fucking bullshit.

i wanted a physical box, e.g. a real cardboard thingy to fit in my collection. that's the reason why i backed for a physical copy in the first place.

and i get a cheap fucking martha stewart box.

if i knew, i'd lower or cancel my pladge.

what a fucking scam.

 

[FeelTheRads]

The normal box was at a cheaper tier, but you didn't get the miniature and badge.

Of course, nobody said anything about how the boxes will look like. inXile are serious about choices and consequences.

 

[Cazzeris]

Yeah, I'm pissed off too. I even asked on the inXile forums if I could pay a bit more to get a regular KS box (which isn't an old-school sized box neither, but at least is prettier and it's made of cardboard), and the answer was no.

I don't know what were they thinking about when they decided to produce design this crap, specially since cardboard is probably cheaper than metal. Maybe, in the future; inXile will come with a "meh" solution.

It may have something to do with the fact that InXile didn't produce anything.

 

[Infinitron]

It's pretty typical for the really expensive Collector's Editions of games to come in an unusually-shaped container these days, eg:

I guess what RPGers had in mind is something more akin to the "big box" versions of early 2000s RPGs like Icewind Dale 2 and TToEE.

 

[Zed]

there's a big difference between a square/big shaped box, and a fucking tin lunchbox with a stupid handle.

 

[FeelTheRads]

Also:

1. inXile had no actual reason to do that
2. Those are made to be sold. The ones for W2 were already sold and payed for.

Although I wouldn't be surprised if someone whether from inXile or DeepSilver went "hurrrrrr those gaemers will surely leik metal boxes cuz they r kool" and we got this.

 

[Infinitron]

So your main problem is that its made out of metal, and not the actual shape of the thing? Uh, okay. I thought it was just an issue of it not fitting on the shelf in between your other boxes.

 

[FeelTheRads]

I'm not sure if you're talking to me or Zed, but the problem is the whole thing. It's retarded that it's made of metal, the shape is shit, looks nothing like a "classic" box and so it doesn't fit anywhere except maybe in the kitchen.

 

[FeelTheRads]

inb4 i don't like it because i don't like straight angles

it looks like a lunchbox. how does that fit on a game shelf?
^ that's my problem.
no point in a collectible if it doesn't fit with your collection.

InXile's games hide in METAL BOXES! The fools! The Cowards!

Would also prefer a regular old-school box. Thinking of going full HUEHUE and selling mine sealed for tons of monis here in Brazil, then using part of the moni to buy a low tier boxed set.

 

[FeelTheRads]

Did you already get it? Maybe the customs will solve the problem for you.

 

[felipepepe]

Nothing yet. Took more than 4 months for D:OS box to arrive, and Larian sent the wrong one on top. Thirdworldian life FTW.

Damn, living in Colombia I got it just a few days ago, tho I did have to make use of a third party mailer that received the game at USA and brought to my door, cost me a few extra bucks than the international shipping option offered by inXile but added security was nice, specially since they gave no tracking numbers.

 

[Zed]

I don't think I backed Divinity for a box. I did for PoE though -- another Collector's Edition. Uhrgh. It will probably arrive as a fucking fruit basket or something.

 

[Davaris]

Ah shit, I'm getting the tin box as well. That'll learn ya!

 

[Orma]

I really don't see how a minitature and a badge skyrocket the price to 150$, thought I would receive something decent when I was backing.

Btw, I still don't have my CE box

 

[otsego]

The tin box collector's is pretty meh but I'm still happy for having supporting the crew and bringing back/encouraging W2 and the future works. With that said, I bet they'lll leave from this Deep Silver and lame collectors fiasco and deliver something satisfying for the Torment rewards.

I went for the 'large box AND collectors box' tier so I still got a satisfying shelf mount. I really was expecting a more sturdy, larger, impressive boxed copy though for the collectors edition.

Was that the $250 tier?

 

[SniperHF]

It was in one of the options at $250, but also in an option at $150.

 

[otsego]

As SniperHF replied above, it was indeed a $150 option (the one I chose) as well as a $250 option. Instead of a large box copy I could have gotten a T-Shirt, but screw that, I'm a sucker for things I can put on the shelf, not hang in the closet

 

[Davaris]

They offered to send me the shirt, but I didn't reply because the shirt was ugly, so I hope that means I get the cardboard box and the tin can. Oh well, can't change it now.

If you paid the $150, I'd consider looking into it! I haven't even ripped it out of its plastic wrap yet, but its the same shape as the Fallout 1 box (long lengthwise rather than heightwise like regular old school boxes).

I got all of my goodies out of the tin lunch box collectors edition so I don't feel the need to break the seal on the regular box yet
