I'm going to say that this cruises through EC now and they approve it in January, we already know that EC is very receptive to behavioural remedies, even the EC spokesperson said there is a very high chance of approval with concessions, EC is completely fine with behavioural concessions, Microsoft have knocked out two major complaints (CoD exclusivity on platforms & CoD on streaming services) with extremely generous offers.

I'm extremely confident that this is approved in EC now which then should knock off China, leaving UK and USA.

Another Zenimax title, Lol.



Sony smells blood in the water and all efforts will now be put towards killing the deal. They will accept 0 concessions.

I have lost basically all respect for SIE over the last several months. I get they have to act in their shareholders interests. But they come off as an out of touch dinosaur trying to use government fiat to not have to compete.



The issues I had with mouse/keyboard were fixed in Pentiment! If only I wasn't completely done with the game



You called down the thunder, now reap the whirlwind

High on Life is out now! I’m gonna try it out tonight

SE... Worst publisher of the year lol. Must have demanded a GP bag. Fuck them Xbox gamers huh.


Shame its not coming to Xbox.

Spade said:

Yeah thanks for spammy Ryuu for mentioning. FF CC looks to be the last SE game announced that I can think of coming to Xbox. Nothing confirmed for 2023, that I can think of.


Hopefully this changes and there will be something else comes out. Cant see why they would just release VII CC and nothing else to follow up with.

Yeah I just saw a list of confirmed games for 2023, even currently unscheduled games, and SE/Xbox combo doesn't appear once lol

Square doesn't want FF to be on Xbox, outside of Crisis Core, so bad that a port of a 3DS FF rhythm game is releasing sometime next year only on NS and PS4 lol


They also have a racing game that is exclusive to just Nintendo Switch I think , the chocobo one (or did it come to PS4?).

It's obvious that Square is done with Xbox unless it comes with a Game Pass cheque at this point, Lol.


Yeah, SE seems to be doing something similar in the PC space as well with releasing on EGS first and then releasing it on Steam.

Speaking of Square Enix, I see Forspoken trending on Twitter and it's mainly people saying the demo is bad or mid, both critic previews and fan impressions. People who were excited about the game before, saying it has a graphics downgrade relative to the marketing materials, technical issues, cringe dialogue, an empty world, floaty or overly hectic combat. I have been saying much of this since it was announced, it never looked particularly good to me, world traversal mechanics aside. Would have skipped this one even if it wasn't 2 year timed hatted by Sony. Pretty funny that Sony spent 2 year timed hat money on a dud though, serves them right.  


Game is gonna fail so bad.

Its basically FFXV without any good that FFXV had.

Looks like the people who helped create FFXV didnt really learn from the mistakes - so now we just got a husk of FFXV without any little story or references it had.

I can see the game going straight to the bargain bin.

If Forspoken bombs then Luminous Productions future looks shaky.


They might as well, ever since the original team that made most of FFXV is gone.

Instead of staring at the home screen, how about playing a game. Idk.. maybe... Persona 5?

Sega announced Sonic Frontiers sold 2.5+ million copies in its first month! Not bad
