Limited Run Shows Off The Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time Collector's Edition

That'd be cool if I was into this show

I don't like the graphics. I wish it had a 2D cell shaded aesthetic.

@Mountain_Man Yes, that would have been best.

I’ll just stick with the digital version. LRG seems scummy with their sales regimen and deceitful business tactics. Seen plenty of folk complaining of their aforementioned misdeeds; focusing my hard earned money, time and energies elsewhere.

Can i just buy the statue?

On my wishlist for monitoring purposes. I liked the show but I wouldn't spend huge money on something like this, sorry. It has some real cool stuff in it though

I might wait for the reviews, and if it sells out, I can always check eBay

@Mountain_Man What? I think that this is a cel-shaded aesthetic, and if you're talking about outlines like on Borderlands, have you even watched Samurai Jack?

I’ve never bought anything collectors edition How does it work does it usually ship out when the game releases?

You know, with COVID being out and about, I can only imagine how much slower Limited Run is with delivering now...

Love Samurai Jack but not sure on investing without knowing if the game is any good.

@MayroMake I'm accustomed to 1-2 months after the release date of the digital game, but my LRG copy of Streets of Rage 4 took 3 months.

I can't afford it, le cry. I'll stick to my standard copy.

pretty cool statue

@HotGoomba "I think that this is a cel-shaded aesthetic..."

Yes, but not it's not 2D. I think a visual style similar to Paper Mario would have worked well, so that characters could have remained 2D instead of being turned into weird 3D amalgamations.

@technotreegrass ...That is insultingly fast compared to how they shipped mine. Mine spent several months stuck in ESRB limbo (whatever that meant, the game was already rated by then) and then I had to wait several months, like September to March waiting for it. I nearly thought I was going to have to get it next August because I used my college's address. Thankfully I got it before then, though. Just barely. The game was Dust: An Elysian Tail, by the way. I know it's possible that they got better with shipping, but I'm pretty suspicious at how fast that one turned out comparatively.

@MayroMake Damn, that sucks. I preordered Streets of Rage back in early March before there was even an official release date for the game, and it arrived a week before the other company started selling their own Streets of Rage physical copies in stores. I only bought two directly from them so far, River City Girls and Streets of Rage. River City Girls came a month after release. Samurai Jack is my next order, and here's hoping that doesn't take forever.

@Mountain_Man Yeah, but the thing is, 2D characters can work well in 2D if done right. SpongeBob was transitioned to 3D well with battle for bikini bottom. Mario started off 2D and gradually evolved into a 3D character in all of his games (minus Paper Mario, but that's an art style), even his 2D Platformers like the New Super Mario Bros Series.

Samurai Jack was actually transitioned to 3D well, sure, it could be better, but that's ok, this is his first game in years.

And here I was just hoping to buy a normal physical. Not ordering from LRG in the US again. Digital copy it is ... when it’s 50% off in a couple of weeks
