Yeah but that grenade was only ever good in indoor areas. Outside areas you had to be skin touching an enemy for it to hit, and then since you’re so close to the grenade, you end up killing yourself with it. It did do high damage with fire damage as well, but it was mostly meant as a cosmetic firework grenade. Even with it leveling with you, legendary grenades at the same level were just overall much better.

Mass Effect 3, From Ashes DLC - you can access it after about three missions tops, and once you've finished it you get access to the particle rifle - decent damage and range, plus infinite ammo (it can over heat, but still). Which also means you can forgo other weapons to boost your power recharge rate. Not quite an instant win bonus, but a definite advantage.

Also two of Fallout 3s dlcs could be completed almost immediately (Operation Anchorage and Mothership Zeta), were self contained so didn't need good gear, and left you with incredibly good items.

Honorable mention: Dishonored. So there were like three different versions of a pre-order bonus you could get based off what vendor you got it from. You got three bone charms (passive upgrades you could carry), 500 gold, and a neat little statue in game. The thing is, each vendor had their own version. And when they released Game of the Year editions, as well as next gen release, they didn't play favorites. They just put all three of them in. So after you get your powers to start the game properly, you get your choice of nine different passive buffs (all of which are good), and 1500 gold to immediately upgrade your kit. It went from a handy but not ridiculous buff to INSANE.

On the one hand, I see your point in the overpowered guns breaking the game. On the other hand, as Andy said, it's sometimes nice to be the one doing the horrifying, and sometimes you just want to firework your enemies to death. XD

Regarding your comments on the 'merica gun, the entire Ratchet and Clank franchise would like to say "Hi". Speaking of: Those who pre-ordered the Ratchet & Clank 1 remake on PS4 got access to the "Bouncer", a weapon from R&C 2 and 3 that is ridiculously overpowered. It takes some upgrading to become a true monster, but once it is upgraded, it can instantly kill any regular enemy in the game (and large numbers of enemies at once) except bosses. And it could beat some of the early game bosses with little to no effort

"statue that will lower the value of your home by a double digit percentage" So like the last week's kamikwasi budget?

Fable 3, Inquisitors sword was a preorder bonus from gamestop, as well as a similarly themed rifle. both encoraged you to be evil since they belonged to Reaver.

New Vegas; one of the preorder packs had armor, a powerful 10mm pistol, 5 stimpaks, and a canteen that trivialized one of the mechanics of hardcore mode.

Ratchet and Clank PS4's preorder bonus was the Bouncer, a weapon that would shoot a big bomb that explodes into mini bombs that chase targets then explode. It was originally in Going Commando and Up Your Arsenal as a weapon you got near the end of the game and for a good reason, it was incredibly powerful and could decimate a hoard of enemies with one shot. The PS4 game would give it to you for basically free after getting past the first planet and it was just as powerful as it was in the PS2 games, maybe even more powerful as you can now upgrade it to make it even more powerful. Obviously, this weapon makes most of the game much easier.

You forgot about the other charateristic of the 'Merica Gun. It plsys "The Stars and Stripes Forever", "The Marine Corps Hymn", and " The US Field Artillery March" when in use.😉

English releases of Super Robot Wars tend to give this for pre-orders. I remember SRW30 gives you access to extra improvement parts, extra funds, and early access to Cybuster and SRW, both being excellent mechas in their own right that can potentially make early game much easier. Not that it was too hard in the first place. Still, it's a treat for old fans.

I'm surprised the Fighting Chance pack that you could get for pre-ordering The Evil Within 1 wasn't on the list. It came with a free health pack, a powered up variant of the shotgun and two additional types bolts for the Crossbow weapon to player's arsenal; one of which spewed fire in a wide area wherever it landed. Fire was a big part of that game and pretty much every enemy was super weak to it so it could make groups of enemies and even powerful monsters in the game pretty trivial. I don't think it could be upgraded so it became a less effective later in the game but I remember it being pretty powerful for a while.

What about the Adventurer's Gear from Greedfall? Made even the Hardest difficulty mode at the start of the game seem a hell of a lot easier.

Ah, TDU 2. Nice to see it get some love, especially with Solar Crown coming out next year.

Until today, I had no clue where press f came from. This is what i learned today.

The one that I remeber getting and having to restrict my own use of was "The Jolly Brolly" from "We Happy Few". High power melee weapon, and more importantly it's unbreakable. Never needed to use any other weapon in my first playthrough.

Persona 5 royal dlc. I know not technically a pre-order but, using the personas in game basically makes the entire game stupid easy. Even okumaras ridiculous overpowered boss fight is made into a piece of cake

AC: Origins Deluxe Edition that I Pre-ordered. The Fang single handed melee weapon that poisons enemies to death and in turn poison other enemies upon their deaths was pretty epic, especially early game. But then you add in the Skill Perk that let's kill anything with *any* Predator Bow and their corpses will do the same thing and potion anyone that gets near it in time. I rarely needed more than 1 quiver of Predator arrows for anything but the largest of forts. The passive kill affect is so OP. Especially as they like to pick up their dead comrades and move their bodies out of the way, dying of poison along the way. And the poison just keeps spreading and spreading.

Cyberpunk 2077, the black unicorn katana that you get as a bonus is really strong and keeps its pace with other blades through the entire game

And all it requires is one easily obtained perk on the crafting tree, very easy to get as your first choice even.

I know the pokemon games kinda have something like that. instead of pre-orders they have digital events that are only available the first week or so of the game

Loving Mike's Dastardly and Muttley shirt.

That deus ex bonus was a god send if you played anything that was focussed on sneaky and avoiding killing

So when they released Persona 5 Royal on xbox and pc one of the versions you pre-order had all of the DLC included from when the game was originally released on Playstation. In that DLC you gain access to Izanagi-no-Okami Picaro as soon as you gain access to the velvet room. This persona is above level 90 and has a move that insta kills in almost every fight in the entire game and has an ability that fully restores your hp and mp after EVERY SINGLE BATTLE. It turns a game with some fun but difficult fights into a dating Sim with a few fights on the side. It also works makes the Reaper look like a common crap enemy, while usually the Reaper is one of the most terrifying enemies in the series (2nd to Elizabeth from Persona 3)

I’m so glad this list included Lost Odyssey because that game is such an underrated em

I gave my nephew that revenant statue from Doom 2016. It just irritated the hell out of me!

I would again like to submit the following: "Times games told you exactly who the BBEG was and you didn't notice" "Times you opened up everyday objects in games and immediately wished you hadnt."

We cleared this up Luke Mike throwing the grenade In the parking lot was for honor ... ya .. honor Mike's a hero lol

SR IV: Are you sure that's actual game footage? Because every time you would get into a rampage, however small, the frikin' warden would pop up in a matter of seconds.

My dad and I both got day zero edition. So did all of our clan. It was fun

The old classic Mike throwing a grenade in the parking lot

I do remember the “rhino” shotgun from crisis 3. Although it was a DLC weapon, it was insanely broken in pvp

I swear I had a fever dream about a Mass Effect game giving you a Black Hole Gun as a prerelease that absolutely destroyed pretty much everything. good thing *that* was just a dream.
