Yeah I kind of figured that would be the case.

I should play Dark Forces I've had it on steam for a while.

Unmetal is also 7.99 on ps4

Unfortunately the physical release is May 31st. Just too late to buy for this...

Looks like I pulled Undertale, Yoku's Island Express and House in Fata Morgana.

I kind of wanted to do Great Ace Attorney 2 more >_> what do you do in the main topic if you like one of your other games better..is it legal to swap them

Supports
Kenri- Great Ace Attorney 2

Doing the pull now as it's the 25th.

At least for the 30+ hour games I'd also been considering giving more time. Especially for something like a Persona game which could easily take three months or more if you play it 150+ hours.

I'm thinking of doing the new game pull next Tuesday night, although in some time zones it may be Wednesday morning by then.

Two things to note, I'm accepting supports now like the main game club, as well as I'll be choosing three games from now on, because wow. This month ended fast.

FYI you have my nominations listed under Kenri.

Note that there are supports this month. And I'm thinking of going up to three games chosen because I can see how quickly this ends if people don't like one of the games and the other is really short. Three games at least lowers the odds of this.

Princess Remedy beated!

That was a fun little 45-50 minute game. Only got 99% though. Missed one heart and the Jealous Chest.

yeah literally the same as you

Beaten Princess Remedy

That was a fun and silly brisk little game. Can't believe I married everyone, or at least darn near close. I was missing one heart at the end, wonder if it was in the jealous chest? Tempted to try it again and open that first. Later.

I can't stop now that I've started and I own them all. And some of the text was funny. Also, I have high hopes for part 3 and 4 which were made by Zeboyd games instead of Hothead and are apparently quite different.

beaten Penny Arcade Adventures: On The Rain Slick Precipice of Darkness Episode 1

Long title, short game. Steam has me as beating it in 6.9 hours. Nice. lol.

The last boss definitely had me working for it, must have used up all my items except for a couple. Overall it wasn't bad but it wasn't great either; was hard to get back into every day but I had a decent time when I got going. Being short is in its favor. Although I will have to start nominating Episode 2 now.. >_>

It appears the main club hasn't done it, so I'll have to be the one to suggest it.

Just got to Pelican Bay. Although I still need to find the protagonist a new home, which appears like it will be in a place cleverly labeled "The Shithole" due to that being the only possible place to stay mentioned thus far. I'm sort of remembering how juvenile PA gets sometimes.. other times the stupid dialogue is more funny but sometimes it dates itself..

Areas are still pretty basic, overall it kind of reminds me of one of those Kickstarter video games. The ones that have more heart than budget, and more inspiration than game design. I like it a bit more than it's individual parts would suggest.

The fighting has certainly gotten harder although there it can be hard to tell just if you can handle a fight ahead of time sometimes

At the moment Penny Arcade is a pretty easy atb rpg and a sort of barebones point n click. I can see why it got sort of mediocre reviews; although I honestly started to find the silly dialogue kind of charming as I played it a bit longer. The fruit robots are still rather off putting ... >_> And one of their attacks looks like it's pissing on you. On purpose I'm sure.

It's a pretty painless playthrough so far, although I just finished one area, opened the home base and spoke to someone else in a second area that just sent me to a third...to collect I hope not as many robot parts as it appears I may have to. 100 something would be a lot...

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
- You have 9 supports you can use throughout the year. Your only limitations are that you can't support your own nomination, and you can only use one support per game per month

NOTES: Added Supports this month since people wanted them.

Also I told myself I wouldn't scan everything but I've been scanning everything, I can't help it.

Why would you not scan everything? It's so much joy.

Kenri posted...

I was really excited for Rain Slick Precipice when it came out but never played it, and I feel like it probably won't hold up for me now. Not even the gameplay but just the Penny Arcade part of it. So I'm probably out for that one, but I'll do Princess Remedy

I have no idea what to expect myself either, Penny Arcade stuff is stuff I haven't thought about in years. I had all four games gifted to me once and as a Zeboyd fan I need to try 3 and 4 one of these days so this is my chance to try it out.

(I saw it but i forgot to add it in there, my bad. I made sure to add everything for the die roll however.)

Warning; I'm doing the pull for new games for April tomorrow. I'll try to do it later in the day to give people some time, but when it's done it's done.

KCF0107 posted...

Oh wait, you are asking something different. Let me see if I can remember and edit this post with what has been done, but hopefully Fake chimes in.

Alan Wake
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow
The Last of Us
Metroid Prime
Oxenfree
Portal
Portal 2
Return of the Obra Dinn
The Sexy Brutale
Super Mario Bros. 3
Wolfenstein: The New Order

That looks accurate to me.

I just Beat Castlevania Lords of Shadow

That last flying titan was a real pain in the ass let me tell you, and the final boss.. Well let's just say I can see why having to do quicktime events to finish off bosses died. In general. That post credits scene was a real surprise though let me tell you.

Walking across the giant chains was pretty epic. I can't say it's not true the game is improving, although the fussy movement controls and way too many moves cycles between fun and frustrating. That blowtorch fire attack can be quite handy if you actually get enough time to use it, for example, but it's quite a complicated one to activate. I'm not sure I've actually pulled off some of the moves yet even...

One thing I find is so much of your powers being related to the hidden gems makes them basically essential to find, but the game really likes locking you into your progress in stages which makes searching for them difficult without a lot of replaying stages entirely.

Castlevania, Man those giant titans are a real pain. They shake you so often. Just finished off a second one. I'm so much better at the smaller bosses. Only two tries on the lycan lord.

Dual Destinies is the second best game in the series, every case (except the intro case) is above average

The first game > Dual Destinies > everything else

Athena is the best lawyer

Ace Attorney is better than Zelda

It takes that long to beat?

Seanchan posted...

It's not the worst idea, though I could see someone trying to "game" it.
.

I won't say I didn't consider that on some level, but I also realized that it being hard to do wasn't the point; it being something easy enough everyone wanted to do it is more likely to get a conversation started.

If it became egregious that someone was posting fluff maybe I'd have to do something but I don't really anticipate that? Besides, I don't see the people who play in these clubs as the kind of people to try and cheat the system. The whole club is on the honor system as it is.

Simply put I trust you guys. :)

I was thinking; part of the fun of an x of the month club ( such as book) isn't just playing or reading the same thing, but discussing it. So I was trying to think of how to encourage discussion and came up with this; if anyone posts five times about one of the game of the month games they can have a bonus nomination. Discussion is intended to encourage conversation, and while I wasn't planning to enforce a character limit, things more than just "beat x game" would be encouraged. I figure this isn't a difficult task but it's more to encourage participation than a challenge. Even if you aren't playing the game that month engaging someone who is in discussion seems worth the nomination to me, since it can only enhance the enjoyment of playing games together imo...thoughts?

plasmabeam posted...

I highly recommend playing Lord of Shadow on Hard difficulty. Makes you appreciate the gameplay mechanics much more.

I see what you're saying but I'm going to counter by saying I generally don't play games on raised difficulty levels and don't consider challenge to be my primary motivation for gaming any longer.

Nominations so far

I'm not pulling today; I'll be pulling tomorrow, so you have the rest of today to get your nominations in.

Buh I've been having rough luck with these draws

Probably nothing for me this month unless I decide to play Bloodstained

Beat Space Funeral

wow, weird. The bit with the spooky poetry was actually pretty freaky. The game was like if Earthbound and Monster Party had some kind of baby... if some of the areas and the combat were fleshed out more and such man, this could be a real classic. As it was it was an interesting little slice of weird.

Nominate: Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion

Man that was quite the ending.

Last of Us Beaten

That seems weird for such a story based game. What was it, a deathmatch? Also I think there's a place to choose multiplayer from the menu screen of the remaster, saw something labeled factions.

Yeah, I'm pretty tired of zombie stories and Joel is kind of an asshole sometimes. I feel like a lot of that is a me thing though. Just started the bit after the sniper area you probably mentioned, with a dam.

Beat Alan Wake

Alan Wake was so damn awesome. Immediately in my top 50 games list for sure.

I've played a lot of games...

Worth doing another run on Nightmare to get those exclusive pages or maybe just look them up (probably on this very site)?
