May's Games:
Nier: Automata (PC/PS4)
Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones (GBA/Wii U)
Clannad (PC)


What is Game of the Month Club?
Game of the Month is a community project open to all B8ers where users share, discover, play and/or discuss a select few games every month. The games featured each month are chosen by YOU the users (and Lady Luck)

The Basics
- Each month will feature three games that were chosen via a random drawing from a pool of games that users nominated
- For each game 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 games is usually around a week before the end of the month
- 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 can receive up to three more nominations in a month for each chosen game that you beat
- Each game you nominate has to be different from both your and other users' noms and cannot include a game that has already been selected for GotM
- 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 chosen game after the drawing for next month's games but before the end of the month

Played through the prologue and chapter 1 of Fire Emblem. I've had this game on my 3DS since the ambassador program, so I'm glad I'm finally getting to it.

I've downloaded the demo for Nier: Automata.

Will play it through at least; should help me decide whether I'm going to purchase that or not.

Yes, I'm aware (though I feel like I'd prefer a physical copy).

I completed the demo. Was enjoyable enough to go get, I suppose.

I'm on chapter 11 in Fire Emblem. Chose to go through Eirika's path first, as that feels like the right order. I saved another file right before the decision so I can go back through Ephraim's route when I'm done.

Haven't played a Fire Emblem since Awakening. I always get sucked into these games.

Set difficulty to hard. Died right after the flying part, which got me "Ending W".

... in any case... I'm gonna continue of course.

I want to play Nier, but I don't have enough access to my ps4 to really sit down and play it

been playing fe though.

I have a thing where I want to like the series but I just can't

but anyway started a new file just finished 5x waiting for all my motivation to drain out of me and the suffering to begin.

Credits are playing in Nier: Automata (and not at superfast speeds like some "joke" endings)... so I guess that counts as beating the game... there's obviously more to it though, given the "final" boss was only level 30. <_<

The more I played, the more fun it got.

And yes, splash screen sez play more, so that's what I'll do.

Automata has 5 "main" endings.

A, B, C, D, and E.

And then 21 more joke endings.

You always get A then B.

And then you always get either C or D, and then the other, with E being unlocked after you've gotten both.
