I have a bone to pick with @ice over that bait thread he posted today. Imma pull a 2013 Ryuu and stay in empire to post my thoughts.

Teams still working as games take time (Bethesda was still under Sony's hats at the time, hence Ghostwire no Xbox). Plus with gamepass' third party offerings it did help offset it to be better than 2017 I feel.

As Dusk Falls
Horizon DLC
Pentiment
Deathloop
Grounded

Coupled with Persona 5 Royal day one gamepass (282 hours, 21 minutes), Ni No Kuni, Danganrompa 3, and a few other odds and ends. Makes it better than 2017 by far. But you wouldn't know as you spent 1800 hours cosplaying as some fake ass pirate. Now, I might not know what an RTS is, but you haven't played a single game on that above list.

Check yourself next time pimp. :)

Pretty sure I played Grounded :thinking: and I did give Gamepass it's flowers, my SOT time is probably less this year than the week you played Persona 5 pimp. 

Touche. Tbf, at least you didn't spend the whole year playing politics instead of video games.

Lol. I'm glad it wasn't me he was speaking to.

Gears 1 Ultimate is so good so far, so many amazing changes they made. Very happy with this so far. Makes me sad that the rumor of the gears trilogy ended up being fake. Hope for Noble's sake P3's remaster isn't :)

Xbox should try and acquire Eidos and Crystal from Embracer after the Activision-Blizzard deal closes. Embracer clearly can't fund them properly, and Xbox has them assisting on 2 different 1st party games.

Why not actually buy the whole of Embracer?

With how much they are struggling to get Activision-Blizzard past regulators, particularly the CMA, I think Embracer as a whole would be a tough proposition to get past regulators. Embracer now owns 131 game studios, including 7 or 8 which are AAA I believe. I think at most, they will only be able to get one of the smaller publishers past regulators post Activision-Blizzard, maybe something Sega or Koei Tecmo sized, and a few more independent AAA studios.

They will get the Activision-Blizzard deal to pass through, but not without leaving a stain.  I always thought Embracer would be a nice grab for one of the big 3, but it will be nearly impossible for Xbox after Activision/Blizzard.  But yeah, snag all the smaller ones possible. At this point everyone is positioning and buying up everything, use all that extra money and get it now.  Just ignore all the whining, because that shit ain't gonna stop.

Agreed, Smh Ice.

Ice spitting facts though that 2022 has been awful.

But he will make it up with the 2023 thread.

Embracer has too much eh studios, I'd rather if it came down to it that Microsoft just picked individual studios.

Don't really want Randy in Xbox either

First thing Microsoft needs to do after ABK though is to acquire their fucking support studios like Certain Affinity and Skybox Labs if they're up for sale, Lol.
