Hi so I just got my gears of war 2 special edition in the mail today from amazon.ca Opened the box to take a look at the art book, it's hard bound glossy paper super cool and it's in fucking French! What the fuck? So for people that don't know when games ship in Canada what they usually do is include a French instruction…
yeah... i like Blizzard's collector's editions they are usually packed chock full of goodies, and their art books alone are easily worth the extra money. as for french, all i have to say is ... chocolat mousse
first LE i ever bought... and they had to do this to me french 'art' book. i wanted to see concept art, sketches, high res models, and all that stuff instead i get already-released images -sigh-
I got what I was expecting from the artbook. Then again, I bought the game for the game. Sucks about the French, malcolm. I only flicked through my copy but I don't think you're missing much in terms of text anyway. But like you said, you got a soft cover version with the English translation. -caseyjones
you're in Canada, don't they speak french??? :D I bought the LE strategy guide for Gears2 thinking it came with a kick ass art book like this Gears1 ([ame]http://www.amazon.com/Gears-Limited-Strategy-Official-Guides/dp/074400859X[/ame]) which I already own. Returned it when I found out no artwork inside from a friend. /me…
Yeah the part I'm pissed about is the fact I bought the special edition only for this hardbound artbook, no other reason and after shipping and tax it cost 100 dollars for the game. And then they send me this piece of crap softbound english version of the book seran wrapped outside the box with a tear already on the book…
