DOOM Anthology – Nintendo Switch

Liked it

I have to say that, while I do REGULARLY feel ripped off by video game makers these days, I haven't felt this ripped off in a while. This DOOM Anthology is a total scam. I saw this listing for this, and was fooled by the photos and description.NOWHERE in the main part of the listing is there ANY indication that this is just a digital download code, and in fact, the inclusion of a steelbook implied to me that I would be getting a cartridge for the Nintendo Switch. There is no cartridge included. I had to come back to listing page, scour through every photo and description up at the top of the page, scroll past 2 sections of Amazon ads for other games,etc. then FINALLY saw the little fine print down there that said it was just a download code for the games. So, they did legally cover themselves by putting it on there, they just hid it very well by making that information fine print, and making everything else big and bold, hoping we wouldn't notice, and I didn't , so their tactics worked on me, and I'm really embarrassed that I fell for this.The video game industry has been trying to push us all towards an all digital gaming world (i.e. NO OWNERSHIP OF WHAT WE ARE PAYING FOR) for some time now, and it's just getting worse every day, and this is a prime example. I paid $80 for a code that lets me download a bunch of 1's and 0's to play these games until they decide I can't play them anymore, and they can just take them away.Oh, I'm sorry, not only did a get a download code , but I got the bait and switch steelbook , which by the way, arrived with scratches on it, even though it was sealed up inside the box, the box that was damaged on every corner because some idiot in the Amazon warehouse thought it would be ok to put a collectible like this in a paper envelope with no protection. That part of this situation is Amazons fault, for poor packaging. It never ceases to amaze me how the people that work in Amazon's shipping warehouses will put a small item , that really doesn't need any protection, inside a sturdy box, that is way too big for the item, and then they will put something like this collectible inside a flimsy bag.And... AND, I got a crappy , tiny little plastic replica of the BFG, that probably cost 25 cents for Bethesda to have it made by slave children in China... It's really great that the first photo on the listing is photoshopped to make the BFG look a lot bigger than it really is because of the way they shopped it with the steelbook image. This whole package probably only cost Bethesda $1 or $2 to have it made in China since there's no actual physical cartridge with the games on it.I'd really like to return this, but of course I can't because, while they did HIDE the fact that it was only a download code, it was stated on the listing page, down in the fine print.I wonder why they didn't include a photo of the actual box it comes in that states right on the front that it's a download code and no cartridge is included? hmm... I think I know why... It sure worked on me. I'm very disappointed in this terrible release by Bethesda, and it is NOT worth $80. I'm so mad at myself for falling for this crap.

I bought this knowing that the games would be digital codes. I didn't really care about the extras.What confuses me is why they decided to provide a steel case. In this case it holds the code to download the game, but once I use the code, I can just throw that and the warranty paper away. It would have made more sense to include maybe an art book or something like that. Now I just have a steel book that'll take up space but with no functionality.It gets 3 stars because at least I got the games.

⭐⭐ Buen producto, pero llegó golpeadoEl contenido de la Doom Anthology es increíble. Los juegos son legendarios, y el steelbook es un detalle espectacular para los coleccionistas. Sin embargo, lamentablemente llegó con algunos daños: la caja exterior estaba abollada y el steelbook tenía un golpe notable.Esto no afecta el contenido, pero sí arruina un poco la experiencia para quienes valoramos el aspecto estético de los coleccionables. Espero que mejoren el embalaje para futuros envíos.

I didn't realize I was buying a digital code. I did not see anything saying this on item description.

If I had known there was no cartridge I would not have bought it. Lame. I'm really mad, actually.

Item was shipped in a bag with no protection. As such the product box suffered small damage. Which I was lucky about only being miner damage given it's absolute total lack of any protection. Once opened, the product has scuffs and wear on the steel book. Looks like something I'd have had on my shelf in regular pull and play rotation for a few months already but with the added benefit of something discoloring it that gives an oil stain look. As if handled by someone in manufacturing that just got done eating a pizza. So the parts damaged in shipping can't be displayed in good shape, and the product itself was so poorly handled in manufacturing that I can't even open it and display it.

It was a nice look. A Mini-BFG 900 and stealbook. But there was cartridge, just a code. Not only that, several of them couldn't get installed. So this was not worth buying to be honest frankly?
