Best first, I got the PC one way back and if it's the same then I absolutely love the artbook, it's beautiful imo, love the way they made it, it's a bit different to others in the way it's bound which is lovely.
I really like the statue too, not the best quality-wise but the bronzed paint job is nice, makes it stand out from a lot of others, decent size and the posing is nice.
I really liked the steelbook too, although it's more personal taste, nice understated ones like it are the ones I like best, so it was right up my alley.
I quite liked the big outer box too, since cutting back my outer boxes as I was literally running out of space for them, it's one of the ones that made the cut and stuck around.
You don't get much in it, but I did think it was well composed, but then again, I got it on sale, so that that may be a factor for me.
As for the actual game, I've got it downloaded just now on my PS4, got the account transfer because I'd registered my PC copy, so it was too good a bargain at £12 (IIRC) to turn down.
The only thing I'm iffy about is the "Emperor!" trophy. I don't have anything against difficult achievements/trophies or ones that take a lot of grinding, I suppose the collecting bug spread to achievements/trophies and so I've done a fair amount in my time before, I suppose you could call it 'semi-retiring' from them after getting to 200000 on Xbox and switching my main console to PS4 where unfortunately platinums are a nice feature that might have me a little (heh, only have 23 so far and am in the mid-teens level wise, but I foresee chasing more
), but this one is taking the piss.
I'm never even gonna attempt it, it's that ridiculous, leaderboard achievements should've buggered off after 2007/08 when people got the hang of achievements in games.
And I strongly disagree with the people that automatically retort that, "Oh, but they're called achievements, you're supposed to achieve things, entitled gamers want everything handed to them!" That's true to an extent, Mile High Club was an achievement, finishing WaW on veteran through the infinite enemies and unbearable grenade-spam was an achievement, grinding to level 100 in Gears 2 was an achievement (or level 188 after my game glitched and reset me to 0, heh, cheers for that Epic), but having to put in enough work equivalent to having a full-time job and no life outside of that, with no realistic way to grind to the "achievement" or to even boost it is addiction-level stuff, not an achievement.
