Julys Games: Paperball (PC/Switch) DOOM 64 (PC/XB1/PS4/Switch/Stadia/N64) Tunic (PC/XB1) Maneater (PC/XB1/PS4/Switch) 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 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 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 - 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 --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy ...

I played a little bit of Paperball just to get a handle on how things were set up to know when I would be beating the main game since I bought the Deluxe edition on Switch. There are a lot more modes than I expected to where there can be multiple interpretations of what is beating this game, but things are sectioned off within each mode to where I can determine what is and is not DLC. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy ...

I've also finished Novice on Paperball. I started on Intermediate and I had to stop on the stage Skeleton for the moment. I'm using an XBox One controller paired to my laptop and the combo of underpowered CPU/GPU and very touchy controls makes this very difficult. I feel like a really need to just nudge the stick; any more than that and I'm completely out of control. We'll see if I'm able to get through this one.

Seanchan posted... I've also finished Novice on Paperball. I started on Intermediate and I had to stop on the stage Skeleton for the moment. I'm about halfway through intermediate and Skeleton has been responsible for the most fallouts thus far, and it was the last section of the stage where when going downhill, I nicked something to launch my ball into the unknown. I also started Maneater and am up to Dead Horse Lake. I thought I could take on alligators, but I was dead wrong, and I tried each time that I leveled up lol. One thing that I didn't like was how I kept killing catfish for one of the quests but it didn't count because it had to be catfish from a particular area for no discernible reason. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy ...

I kept dying on the very first stage of Expert, so I have put Paperball on the backburner while I go through more of Maneater. While I enjoyed exploring and picking on smaller creatures, especially humans, fights against the aggressive animals was getting frustrating for different reasons. Alligators were just too agile and tanky while barracudas were too small to accurately target. While I don't think that I will ever love taking on alligators and the like, once I finally reached adulthood and in general leveled up myself and skills, fighting was a lot more fun. I still need to take on the apex back at the bayou in order to go past Golden Shores. That creature is several levels higher than me (I think it was level 20 when I fled when I am 16), so I went back to the lake to do some side stuff there to hopefully gain a few levels. I loved Golden Shores, but so far it is the most egregious example of me wishing that the detailed map extended to the cave/pipe systems. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy ...

I'm now up to Prosperity Sands in Maneater in addition to being a level 24 Elder. I've found it difficult how to best customize my shark through all of this, but I have settled on one with the mouth/teeth that has increased damage to boats and a bio-electric fin that gives me a shock attribute evade. I've pretty much kept the same organs all throughout (radar, increased health, and increased speed). I should probably look to change my body, but nothing has really jumped out as a must-swap for my tiger that has 25% extra materials.

KCF has beaten Maneater This has been compared to Jaws Unleashed, which I never played, but I am sort of interested in it with how fun this was. The game is at its best when you are an unstoppable beast wrecking havoc whenever and wherever, which was mostly revisiting areas post-game and also the middle areas as they first came up (Golden Shores, Sapphire Bay, Prosperity Sands). Chris Parnell was an excellent choice to narrate the game and its hilarious, unapologetically savage commentary on humanity. This game could have been more though.

Finished Intermediate on Paperball. Turns out playing this on an underpowered laptop is a bad idea. I'm back on my desktop and beat Skeleton first try. The rest of Intermediate wasn't too bad once I had a better framerate and more responsive controls. Expert really fucks with you right out of the gate. But I've persevered and gotten up to level 21, though with one skip along the way (I think it was level 10). What's considered "done" for Paperball? Finishing Expert? Finishing Champion? I'll definitely pick away at this one some more this month but I really do need to start on Tunic in the next few days. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! ...

There are plenty of modes that I think can be used to count as beaten, but if you are playing arcade mode like me, it is my opinion that you should clear all the base game stages, which I think is through Champion. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy ...

Nearly finished with Expert in Paperball. Couple stages left. Had to use skip 2-3 more times, as some of the stages are fucking ridiculous. Of course, then you'll have 3-4 "easy" stages in a row. Sometimes it feels like my best shot is my initial go.

Paperball Beated? Finished the last few stages in Expert. I think there was another skip in there... Stage 50 was kind of neat. Champion #1 had me stumped for a while until I realized what to do, where I promptly lucked into the hidden exit to warp to #4. Which is good because Champion is pretty fucking tough. Of the ten stages, I think I beat 4, warped past 2, and skipped 4. I did beat #10 though!
