10 Pre-Order Bonuses That BROKE Their Video Games
10. Just Cause 3 - 'Tourist Guide'
Pre-orders of Avalanche's open-world sandbox game Just Cause 3 Collector's Edition included what they cheekily called a 'tourist guide' to the island of Medici.
Sounds like a cute extra, sure.
In reality, though, it was actually a map of the hidden locations of all bases and towns in the game, allowing you - if you so chose - to skip much of the exploration that is half the fun of the game. It turned out to be an excellent tool to chart the easiest and quickest way to your objectives.
And, as a bonus, you also got access to three exclusive higher-end vehicles that came with all pre-orders - a speedboat, dune buggy, and Serpente supercar. So not only did you have a complete map of the island, you had three heavily armed and dangerous ways of getting there.
For a game that prides itself on exploring and experimenting to see what kinds of combinations of vehicles, weapons, and destruction you can create, Avalanche was giving anyone who pre-ordered a considerable leg up from the get-go.
