A Strategy Guide for your Strategy Guides
As has been tradition, the strategy guide for Assassin’s Creed Syndicate has both a paperback edition and badass, hardcover collector’s edition. The big difference between the two lies in about $10-$15. So why pick the CE over the paperback for AC Syndicate?
From what I’ve played with it as shown below, it’s definitely worth the extra moolah.
I’ve been told by readers and strategy guide fans that the Final Fantasy strategy guide boxed set from Prima Games should be avoided at all costs. It’s poorly done. They copy and paste from the older guides. There’s a blatant mistake in one of the character pages.
Well, I can’t exactly do my job if I take all of these complaints at face value and not look at the books myself. Besides, I’m a huge collector, so of course I’m going to buy these books, mistakes be damned. So I have them, I’ve looked through them, and I compared the FFVII guide to the original.
Here are my thoughts:
Trying a little experiment here. I got more feedback from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt CE unboxing than I have about, well, anything else on this site, so I’m going to try video previews of every strategy guide that comes across my desk. This means that yes, you’ll hear more of my voice (good or bad) and see more of my awesome yoga outfits.
First strategy guide up for the preview treatment is the Splatoon strategy guide from Prima Games. It’s super tiny, super cute, and seems to have all the info one will need. But is it worth a purchase? Check it out for yourself and see.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt strategy guide arrived today! For the first time in my video game playing history, I have gotten a copy of the strategy guide BEFORE the game. I am so excited about this, let’s unbox it and make a video to share in the excitement together! Yay for awesome Collector’s Editions of strategy guides!
I received a delightful surprise yesterday: two copies of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask collector’s edition strategy guide. One I preordered with the collector’s edition bundle from GameStop, the other I received from the wonderful people at Prima Games.
As such, I’m going to give away one of these Majora’s Mask strategy guides to one of you! It has something to do with the unboxing video below, but you won’t know what until Friday! This week’s Free Guide Friday will literally be a race to see who responds the most quickly, so it will help if you watch the video early and often, depending on how much you really want the free guide.
Without further ado, watch me unbox this gorgeous collector’s edition of the Majora’s Mask strategy guide.
