10 Most Extravagant (Or Just Plain Stupid) Pre-Order Gaming Bonuses No One Wanted
4. Dead Island: Riptide Decapitated, Armless Bikini Babe
Okay, we can't argue that this one lacks effort. Hell, if you're a fan of the zombie genre or just horror in general there is definitely some sort of twisted appeal to a statue resembling a torn up zombie woman. But be realistic. You'd think the guy who came up with this collector's edition bonus stopped for a moment and thought "well actually...this isn't really practical for most people to have in their home." I'm sure Jeffrey Dahmer might've appreciated it, but he hardly needs it now. Can you imagine putting this thing up in your room and then bringing a girl home? It's not gonna be an easy sell. I'm not really sure there are that many people who appreciate Dead Island: Riptide enough to display a dismembered body in their home. Does anybody really appreciate any game that much? In the end, publisher Deep Silver came out and apologised for the gift which was clearly in poor taste.
