Id also love a remake of Terranigma such a great game and one i completely forgot about until you said it.

So far Disco Elysium is a straight 9/10

We seriously better be getting an event for Xbox within the first 2 months of 2023. Been playing on my PS5 and it's looking pretty good compared to Xbox right...

I think the event should be early-mid February.

It's the perfect time, not too close to E3, not too late so that they've missed the opportunity to market some big titles (such as Wo-Long in early March), it likely won't miss any major Xbox releases either, plus it has a benefit of being after the preliminary decisions from regulatory bodies.

We'll have preliminary decisions from CMA/EC in January and with those we will know whether they're going to block or approve, CMA in particular rarely changes their mind after their preliminary decision has been issued. Once we have those, it will give Microsoft a good idea what to do, if they're both negative then they'll likely drop the deal before the extra breakup fees and if only CMA is negative I still think they drop the deal.

So having an early February event would either be a continuation of positive news (because lets face it, if CMA/EC are positive then FTC is utterly fucked and the deal is 100% passing) but if they're made to abandon the deal, the event could be used to quickly drown out the negative news and give us something positive to look forward to, Lol.

If they have the event in January, they could have a bunch of positive news, only to be drowned out by the negativity of Microsoft failing a massive Xbox acquisition and then the focus would quickly shift to that, better for the event to be after, Imo.

TrueAchievements once more grew big time during the holiday season.
On Oct 18th (using the Wayback machine) they had 710k members. Now they have 890k members. Roughly 180k added within 2 months and I'm pretty sure over 100k joined because of the recent MyYearOnXbox event. I recall the amount of members being somewhere around 750k when I couldn't post my stats here.

EU would be super dumb to block the deal. PlayStation is quite close to what is called a monopoly in Europe. And the more you move from the West to East, the worse it gets.

Facts

Would be great. Will replay SMTV aka GOTY 2021 the moment it hits Xbox. And finally finishing Nocturne would be nice as well. Never played SMT IV and if it's true it will mean that the game is finally freed from being stuck in 3DS limbo. Sadly, Shpeshal Nick is not credible IMO

The hardest cheevos will probably be Elizabeth and Margaret challenge battles

Just 100% finished Return to Monkey Island! What a great game and a return to form for old school graphic adventures

Although it was MUCH easier than previous games lol. Not only do you have a to do list, but you're also given a hint book. Made the 2 hour speedrun super easy. The only "grind" is the trivia cards. They're RNG and you have to complete 100 of them lol. Had to restart my game quite a few times to get the trivia cards to respawn.

Played a lot of Yu-Gi-Oh this year....

Sweet mother of god.
