Optional Buys Explored

With the pledge manager for Rising Sun closing tomorrow (7/7), we’ll be revisiting the various options throughout the day to help you finalize your purchases from three different perspectives: the budget conscious, the reveler, and the humble collector.  You don’t need advice if you’re an avid collector, just buy one of everything and be done with it. 😉

What Type of Backer are You?

The Budget Conscious
You are someone who wants to get as much possible content for as little possible money.  You don’t mind missing out on the little things, and the big things can always be purchased sometime down the road, if needed.  There will always be a new game you want, so why invest such a large amount in any one single game?  Besides, if your friend buys it first, you can always play their copy instead.

The Reveler
You long for a great gaming experience and, if given the option, generally place a greater weight on quality rather than quantity.  You look for things which will specifically enhance and/or extend the game’s experience/perception.  As such, some extras just don’t make the cut, unless of course, they come in a deluxe edition.

The Humble Collector
You live for Kickstarter Exclusives and are someone who wants “one of everything”.  You may have so many games pre-ordered/backed that you have lost track and probably wouldn’t have time to play them all anyway if they arrived.  In other words, you don’t want to miss out on anything, but you don’t have to “have it now”.  As long as you know its tucked away safely in your Kallax for if/when you need it, all is right in the world.
