Well fuck. I still need it on the JP copy. Wish there was a reminder or something. Doh! Until next year....
Yeah, somebody used to do an article each month for upcoming time related achievements. I remember it from years back when I was doing the Batman AC ones.
As for the sale... as somebody who doesn't have an X1 and only plays on 360 still (with a game now and then for Windows if they run on this dumb PC), there are no words.... well, there are but I won't say them here :P
There's now a setting on TA to get a notification of upcoming date and time specific achievements in games you own that don't yet have the achievement unlocked.
Yeah.... but it seriously is pretty useless for the couple games I have to be honestly. The few time based ones I still need to do involve doing things daily for an entire month on the games and that alert doesn't come up until the very last 3 days of the entire month after it's far too late. Doesn't do me a lot of good honestly by that point :P It's only helpful if the game is already in your collection too and not games you are looking at buying, as in the case mentioned in the quotes above I replied to.
The article was a lot more helpful in my eyes considering notifications are so iffy sometimes anyway on the site and they still rely you to actually come to the site and see them. Whomever wrote the articles before just made it much easier to see any upcoming achievements for all games in a single location, owned or not.
