Nominate
Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair
Nier: Replicant

One sec about to nominate

Oxenfree also had this issue where you could learn information out of the intended order and have characters refer to things you didn't know yet; it stuck out extra hard because of all the times the dialogue did take into account all your choices.

Beat Psychonauts 2

Hella great game there. Going for the Platinum now, almost done with that too.

Oxenfree is on sale for $2 USD on Xbox

I bought the physical edition for ps4 off eBay for $73 because I'm certifiable about getting physical copies.

Beaten Oxenfree

That was wild. Some kind of new game + opened that I'll definitely be giving a try later; Want to complete Psychonauts 2 first, I've been waiting a while for this one..

I've gone through a couple of the worlds/levels in Psychonauts 2. From a pure gameplay perspective, everything seems to be a step up from the original (It has been roughly 15 year since I played that). However, none of the levels have come remotely close to how awesome Milkman Conspiracy, Velvetopia, or Waterloo World were. Maybe it gets better around the middle.

Psychonauts 1 really had some rough patches as a game but the sheer creativity and atmosphere was like noting else..even the final level was a cool unique concept despite being a pain in the ass to play..

Seanchan posted...

I guess I was thinking that you wouldnt want to have a game repeated for a period of time, like maybe a year? So it would be good to know whats been re-done.

I was going to allow it so long as it wasn't the same as the previous month if there was a demand. But if people don't want that to happen a year could work.

Seanchan posted...

Is there a list of all the games picked for Replay?

I think it was Portal, Portal 2, Return of the Obra Dinn, SMB3, and The Sexy Brutale so far?

Yes, that sounds right to me. I don't have a list right now. Did you want one? I'm allowing games to be replayed multiple times if that's what people want, but if you would prefer to replay a lot of unique games and have a list to make sure you don't repeat too often or at least for a while I can add one.

Yeah that gives you two bonus nominations iirc

I think I just remembered how it was done wrong or something. You used those last month right?

Cody has two bonus nominations, not the others I posted. He beat two games late.

Didn't you beat a game last month? Or did I do it wrong? It says you beat sexy Brutale in my records. Hmm actually yeah never mind, you redeemed those already, derp

What is Game of the Month Club Replay?

Game of the Month Replay is a community project based upon the Game of the Month Club. Much like the GOTM Club, it's open to all B8ers where users share, discover, play and/or discuss a bonus chosen game every month. The two games featured each month are chosen by YOU the users (and Lady Luck).

The only catch is, it must be a game that the GOTM Club has already played, so it's an opportunity to replay games you may have missed out on the first time or just want to try again.

The Basics

- Each month will usually feature two games that were chosen via a random drawing from a pool of games that users nominated
- For each of the games you beat you get a cool point on our just-for-fun standings as well as a nomination for next month's randomized drawing
- In order to receive the point and nomination, you must beat said game within the calendar month
- If you beat one of the current month's games in the previous month, you can apply for a "recently beaten waiver," but you will only receive a point and no nomination should you do so
- Drawing for next month's game is usually on the 25th
- If you periodically keep us posted on your progress and/or talk about different aspects of the games, then everyone will think you are super awesome!

Nomination Rules

- You get one nomination automatically each month
- You receive additional nominations each month for beating one of the featured games
- Each game you nominate has to be one that was already nominated for the GOTM Club.
- You can nominate games that have already been selected for the Replay Topic, but not the same game twice in a row.
- Each game must be a standalone game that can be acquired and played on its own (aka cannot be DLC/expansion that requires the base game)
- Nominations only carry over if you beat a featured game after the drawing for next month's game but before the end of the month

Congratulations to the winners!

Dang, what a nice guy! Guess I was close but not close enough. I'll have to buy my own copy after all. This was a nice thing for you to do for people. :)

Nominate Alan Wake

I'll make the drawing Sunday since people tend to be busy on Christmas Day.

I'm probably just sticking with Mario, December is a busy month. So far I'm up to world 3. Playing the Super Mario All Stars version so I can save.

Definitely going to play Super Mario Bros. 3 this month.

I'm definitely going to replay Super Mario Bros. 3. That's a good one.

KCF0107 posted...

Not for a normal drawing, but for special months where a 4th game is offered, maybe depending on the length. Back in 2015 I believe, Fallout: New Vegas was a 2-month feature.

Good to hear we'll be doing it again sometime.

The Sexy Brutale and Super Mario Bros. 3 are the Game of the Month Replay games for December!

KCF0107 posted...

As well as Xenoblade Chronicles (Switch/3DS/Wii) finishing up its 3-month residencey

I'm probably not going to finish this before the deadline, yet I really liked the idea. Any chances of longer games appearing this way again?

KCF0107 posted...

I haven't touched Xenoblade since my initial session. I think it is safe to say that I will not finish it by the end of the year. I will try to get at least another session in by the end of the month though.

I have like 20 hours, but I feel like I just scratched the surface

Nominations:
Severed - KCF0107
The Sexy Brutale - KCF0107
Super Mario Bros. 3 - Cody11533
Alan Wake - FakeAccount3000

I think I'll choose two games starting next month to help people have more choices.

I've been very slow at gaming lately.

Are you doing the Switch version? I can't even get that because finding where to do any quest and for what npc is a nightmare....

Beat Cthuhlu Saves the world

I'm glad my pc was fixed soon enough to at least beat it for the point, if not the nomination (unless it carries over, which I think it does?)

Seanchan posted...

Ha my choice again!

I dont actually own Obra Din. Might wait until the Steam sale to pick it up.

Has it been your choice all three times? Maybe that's a good reason to do two a month, gives more chances to pull a variety.

I'll nominate Alan Wake again myself.

Wolfenstein: The New Order - KCF0107
Batman: Arkham Asylum -Cody11533
Super Mario 64 - Cody11533
The Last of Us - Seanchan
Return of the Obra Din - Seanchan
Braid - HaRRicH
Alan Wake - FakeAccount3000

This is the Game of the Month Replay Game for November
Return of the Obra Din - Seanchan

Last call for nominations

Guess I'll Nominate Infliction: Extended Cut

Not many playing Portal 2 I guess. I'll randomly select the new game on the 25th like in the main club.

Damn,,lame time for my PC to break.

Can I get an extension on Cthulhu since my PC broke?

Nominate Frog Detective

If it's Frog Detective 1, I'll suport frog detective because looking it up it looks fun
