Board 8 > September Nominations for the first Game of the Month Club Replay Topic

(+) Yeah! (+)

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 game featured each month is 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 one game that was chosen via a random drawing from a pool of games that users nominated
- For beating the game, 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 the current month's game 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 the featured game
- 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

Thanks to KCF0107 for giving permission for the GOTM Club Replay topic to exist. Most of the rules of the Replay Topic are the same as the GOTM club. If you're wondering what the Game of the Month Club is, here's the link to the current club; https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80114199

Neat. I'll look through the old games later today, or tomorrow.

I'm interested but yeah, don't have a nomination in mind.

Are you only doing one game each month?

That was the idea since I was thinking of it in addition to Game of the Month, but if there was demand to do three like the main topic I could change it.

I will nominate Return of the Obra Dinn

You probably also want a link to eligible games for this.

Well I guess that didn't link directly to the specific sheet, but there's one labeled previous games that has them all separated in alphabetical order.

Good idea, thanks.

Gotta go with my #1 game

Nominate Banjo-Kazooie

I'd actually be okay with either FF or Obra Dinn

I think I'll nominate Alan Wake

Nominations so far:

KCF0107: Return of the Obra Din
Great Paul: Banjo Kazooie
MZero: Final Fantasy X
FakeAccount3000: Alan Wake

ViolentAbacus: ff or Obra Din? Going to make an official nomination?

I'll nominate Portal

KCF0107: Return of the Obra Din
Great Paul: Banjo Kazooie
MZero: Final Fantasy X
FakeAccount3000: Alan Wake
Cody11533: Portal

I'm going to do the pull tomorrow, so this is your last chance for this month.

Portal chosen by 11533 is the game of the month replay game!

Its hard to overstate my satisfaction at this selection.

A classic!

I never did go back to beat the first Portal after beating the 2nd for the normal GotM, so this should be good.
Also, thank you for this topic series, I know I brought it up once in the main topic but didn't want to push it since most people would nominate stuff I still couldn't play due to not owning. So I appreciate this kind of series that lets me go back after these at points when I finally own the games.

I mean, I did allow people to nominate previously done games for the December drawing for two or three years, but I think only one or two such games were ever nominated.

You were quite lucky with the rng this month! :)

lso, thank you for this topic series, I know I brought it up once

Welcome, thought it might be fun.

Nice. Will definitely replay through that - was wanting to play through those on the Steam Deck anyway

It's short enough for sure.

Let me know how the Steam Deck works, I kind of want one myself.. I'm not very tech savvy though so I wonder how easy it is to use. I just want something to play steam games on the go on.

bump to remind you it is September, unless you weren't planning on making a separate topic for it

I wasn't thinking of doing that, but I can do that.
