Octobers Games:
Resident Evil 2 (2019) (PC/XB1/PS4) The House in Fata Morgana (PC/Switch/PS4/Vita/iOS/3DS) StarTropics (Switch/Wii U/Wii/NES) 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 usually 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 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 receive additional nominations each month for every featured game that you beat - Each game you nominate has to be unique from all other nominations 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 featured game after the drawing for next month's games but before the end of the month - As a special feature for 2021, you have 11 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 --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy If you smell what the rock is cooking he's cooking crap - ertyu ...

Made it through the first two chapters and the first dungeon of chapter 3 last night in Startropics. Playing on the Nintendo switch, the yoyo is called a star now? This having to avoid a copyright or something?

Played about an hour or so of Resident Evil 2, made it into the police station and explored a bit. Having no hands-on experience with the series, this is fun but stressful. I'm a very average shot so trying to conserve ammo on zombies is an experience.

Started Fata Morgana. Going through it slowly, for now, mostly because I wasn't a big fan of chapter 1. I'll probably start going faster once I'm on chapter 2, and won't be able to put it down once I'm on chapter 4.
I also picked up Star Ocean and started making a lot of... Oh, Startropics. Darn. (I want to play it through the Switch, but also don't know if I want to sign back up for online before I know more about the N64 subscription.) --- Our eyes were removed For our own safety ... Copied to Clipboard!

Beat chapter 6 of Startropics last night. This may be the best chapter in the game, tbqh. Though I'm partial to chapter 7 as well. Going to play it some more tonight, maybe I'll manage to finish

Ok, finished Startropics.
This was a replay for me; this was a nostalgic game from my childhood, one I'd purchased for like, 10$ at a closing KB toys. I even had the original letter which I recall dipping in water, but lost it after my first playthrough, making me have to guess the frequency in chapter 4 to go on going forward. (of course there's the internet nowadays As far as NES games go; it's one I'd recommend, though it does suffer from some products of its time and the games it's trying to put a unique spin on. Starting with three hearts on every death is a product of its time, but at least there's ample hearts in later chapters to fill up your health with. Which is incredibly necessary given the whole "you can only use your upgraded weapons if you have enough red hearts" thing... which makes bad luck or poor play snowball really fast. Chapter ranking: 6>7>>>3>2>8>1>5>>>>>>>>4 6 is the best; a lot of bosses, two tough dungeons; two big hearts making it worth it to take a little time to explore. The big-headed walking around minibosses are the true boss for this chapter; the twin statues are basically an afterthought after. 7's remixed theme is fantastic; and the stages really have that different feel to them; they are definitely tough. And there's some interesting robot bosses here too. 3 is a very expansive chapter; something like four or five dungeons, most of them fair; though the ghost village for first time players with all the stairs out is probably a bit too troll-y for this day and age I like it still. 2 is a good chapter everyone likes saving animals, and the octo was always my fave early boss of the game. 8 caps off the game pretty effectively; though having to face zoda at 3 hearts right at the entrance was sure... a choice by the designers. Can't knock them too badly for the other two boss fights though, they're great. 1, there's nothing really wrong with 1 (besides the instant deathtrap above the second potion room) but I don't like the snake boss that much. 5 is kind of an annoying chapter with the deathtraps; the backtracking for peter's gift, and it doesn't even give us a cool ghost pirate boss (or any boss at all) to cap the experience. 4 is easily the worst of the lot; a maze is the entire gameplay. Final thoughts; still recommend it highly despite its NES-isms --- Lolo ... Copied to Clipboard!

I binged the back half of Leon's campaign today but made it. Very good game, but more stressful than I felt like playing for most of this month lol. Definitely gonna come back to this when I'm more in the mood. Excellent atmosphere and setting and fun to play though. The police station was what interested me in the first place and I'd say it was my favorite section of the game. --- "Video games are meant to be just one thing. Fun.
