That is a thing of beauty.

@Bread-Not-Toast seems to be everywhere, as far as I can tell.

@RedMageLanakyn ever since Destiny did it, every game seems to have that long-hold button action now. I really don't like it at all. I wish they would just go back to the standard press.

@FaultyDroid Oh yeah, if every game was released in a steelbook case it would be wonderful – especially if they were all as beautiful as this. It's the continuity that matters to me, though.

@get2sammyb Haha, you should see my flat! It's immaculate, and everything on the shelves is organised perfectly alphabetical :')

@get2sammyb I quite like having all my games in the same kind of cases in a line on the shelf for continuity and tidiness. I mean, I wouldn't not get a game because of the steel case, but I do prefer just a standard case, personally.

I think I've got to be the only person that just wants a regular case. I really don't like steelbooks, and I don't care about all the collector's edition stuff at all. Beautiful designs, though!

There's just too many good games (and, specifically, RPGs) out right now to justify getting a buggy and apparently just above mediocre game at launch. Maybe if there wasn't already Horizon, Zelda, Nier, Nioh, Yakuza 0 and whatever else has come out in the last two months (I'm literally losing track of them all). This is why it's always good to wait for reviews before ordering.

@get2sammyb @gbannas92 Yeah, I hate the combat in Horizon, too, so you're not alone! (Though, it does seem to be an outlying opinion.)

@Frank90 I think I might have done that anyway, there are simply too many good games right now and not enough time in the day to play them all.

I'm a big Mass Effect fan so I'll play it at some point regardless of these issues. They do have me a bit worried, though. I'm just feeling a bit of an overwhelmingly negative vibe from a lot of the stuff I've seen and heard pre-launch.

@get2sammyb That is just really unnerving to watch.

A true 10/10. This is easily one of my favourite games of all time.

Do you get trophies while playing games on PS Now, by any chance?

@ApostateMage @FantasyMeister Standard edition is priced just £28.85 on Base.com at the moment. Also under £30 on Tesco Direct

@renankj I agree, actually. I much prefer linear, controlled, story-focused games. I'm starting to feel like open-world games are getting a bit rote.

No games for me this weekend

@kyleforrester87 There are just too many good games right now, aren't there? It's actually making me stressed!

@get2sammyb So the game's about 40 hours long, but you have to play it through three times to get the most from it?

Oh my word. I've had my eye on this game for a while, and it looks just like my kind of game. I love the art style!

@doctommaso Yeah, gameplay is always the most important to me. It's funny you mention From Software, actually, because I'm not sure if I'm just feeling a bit down on it after playing Nioh (a game which is heavily influenced by From's games). Honestly, after the snappy combat of Nioh, I'm finding the battles in Horizon a bit dull. I also think there are too many robot dinosaurs in the wild. I feel like I'm constantly fighting!

@doctommaso I gotta be honest with you, I'm not sure I love Horizon either. It sure is beautiful, but I'm finding it really boring. Played for just under 10 hours so far, and I don't know if I'm going to carry on.

@SegaBlueSky Yeah, I know what you mean. It will be interesting to see what they do the Gladiolus DLC later this month, because there might be some irked fans if they do what we think they might do. (Don't want to spoil anything for anyone, but if you've played the game you know what I'm referring to.)

@Comrade44 You can check out our sister site Nintendo Life for news on the Switch, if you aren't aware of it.

This is why I don't buy season passes before the content is out. I want to see how good it will be first.

@Feena Yup, the information is confusing, to say the least. Basically we have no idea how far along they are which probably means it is indeed going to be 2018 at the earliest.

@Gunners85 I spent a good two hours trying to defeat her. Got there in the end, but she's really hard. Good luck with it

@carlos82 I don't think they've confirmed which VR headsets it will come to. I'm just holding out hope!

@carlos82 I hear they're still working on Fallout 4 for VR. Once that comes out, I'll get PS VR.

Some retailers didn't seem to be stocking the game, period. I use The Game Collection a lot, but they're not selling it at all for some reason.

Looks nice but I wouldn't want a white device beneath my black TV.

You know what, I know they were bad, but I still quite enjoyed the Angelina Jolie films.

@Ralizah Yeah, and Horizon coming at the end of February/start of March for some countries. Not sure the release date is the best.

I have been asking for this for years. Make it happen, Atlus!

@Quintumply GAME absolutely were doing the same thing; I worked there between 2009-2012. Also, we were told by regional managers to say new games were out of stock and to only sell pre-owned copies. We were also put on zero hour contracts, given strict quotas of pre-owned sales, accessory sales, and warranty add-ons, and if we didn't hit them, they would just take away all of our hours. It was a nightmare, and I had to live in a flat share with some really crappy people because I couldn't rent a flat for myself without guaranteed hours.

@get2sammyb This strategy by GameStop may well be driving away business, but they might actually make more money from it. I know when I was at GAME we were told to sell pre-owned games because the amount of profit we made on each game was much higher than selling it new. If I remember correctly, the regional manager at the time said that they only made 5% of any new game sale.

@ShogunRok yeah, I didn't finish the story. I gave it a good go, though, I got half way through the season. Then I just switched over to single-player career mode which is what I generally play.

@consolfreak1982 I believe it will be a 60fps mode running at standard PS4 resolution. You will then have the choice between playing it like that or with the higher resolution but with the current frame rate.

@johncalmc I didn't take to it the first time either. It just wasn't what was expected of a FF game at the time. I then played it a couple of years after it launched and fell in love with it, and now I look back on it as one of my favourite games in the series.

Wow, I really was expecting it sooner. But there are plenty of games to play in the meantime (Persona 5 and Horizon are two notable RPGs that should keep us going, no?). I'm really looking forward to playing Final Fantasy XII again, though.

I'm very disappointed. I realise that the games haven't sold all that well, but the Deus Ex games by Eidos Montreal have been excellent.

@NintendoFan4Lyf Don't worry, Shenmue's coming back, and now's a great time to jump into Yakuza with Zero! That's a double win, right there!

@NinjaWaddleDee Won't be the same people working on both, don't worry. I'm still optimistically praying for Part One of FFVII Remastered to come in 2017!

@wiiware This game in 4K would be absolutely beautiful.

Oh, it really does look beautiful.

@smythelove Yeah, the full game explains it much better. In the opening few hours, you're introduced to numerous tutorials that take you through all the things you can do. Button bashing certainly doesn't get you far in longer boss fights, so you do have to learn how to fight properly. Unless you play on easy, of course, where you probably can just bash buttons, but I don't recommend that unless you just want the story and no challenge.

@Azikira Sorry to hear you lost your job. I hope you manage to find something else before too long

@consolfreak1982 Yeah, I remember that. I had to import Tales of Destiny II and Chrono Cross from the US. It's nice that we get these kinds of games now, for sure.

@consolfreak1982 It's a game that won't sell much more than a million units and it has a primarily Japanese demographic where I believe most people are still playing on PS3 before PS4, let along the Pro. I don't know for sure, but I just can't see it happening. I hope they do update it for Pro, though.

@johncalmc any reason why you haven't liked them?

@KitsuneNight there are tutorials in the main game that teach you how to use combat properly. I would say it's a lot better than the demo, and as you work your way through the game you'll realise that just mashing buttons doesn't work later on at all. You can make it even more tactical by playing the game on harder difficulties, too.

@consolfreak1982 I wouldn't hold my breath for a PS4 Pro update on this one. I think it would have had it at launch, and it does look a bit rough around the edges (especially on a 4K screen). But, you never know, maybe they'll surprise us.

@HungryWolf Ooh, that's a tantalising thought!
