Octobers Games: Splatoon 3 (Switch) Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice (PC/XB1/PS4/Switch) Cthulhu Saves the World (PC/360/iOS/Android) Xenoblade Chronicles (Switch/3DS/Wii) (eligible from October through December) 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 tried both Hellblade and Cthulhu in the past but didn't stick with them, but I downloaded them again in case I want to give them another whirl.

I'm close to finishing the third chapter/releasing the yellow streamer Its a better game than Color Splash (the Wii U one) but that doesnt mean much. That was one of the few Nintendo games I gave up on. I just really hated the battles. Origami Kings battle system was neat at first but didnt have much long term interest outside of the boss battles.

Yeah, I agree that the puzzles aren't well-designed and probably should have completely revamped or been done away with, but combat is pretty basic and hardly terrible. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy ... Copied to Clipboard!

Started on Xenoblade... Holy shit SYSTEMS! Right out of the box and this game has NO CHILL. It's just dumping tutorials and pop ups and all sorts of crap on you. And then you get to District 9 (or where ever) and everyone's got a quest and a trade option and affinity and, fuck me this is all a bit overwhelming.

Seanchan posted... At least you don't have to run back to the quest giver when you finish their conditions?Bad news. You do unless they're a generic npc. And you have to figure out where and when they appear from the affinity chart and then track them down. I think I may skip a lot of sidequesting, it took me about a half hour to find the watch quest lady. --- Dokkan Battle ID:3175154559 JPN Dokkan Battle ID1270165763 Dragon Ball Legends ID brggv8m3 ...

Ah damn I did notice one quest that I could only find the person at a certain time of day, so I was a little miffed about that.

Started Hellblade. Its been interesting but Im not sure that Id call it good. Combat is fine. The puzzles are sometimes annoying. I was surprised by the complete lack of tutorial prompts. Like, they don't even teach you how to swing the sword! I stumbled into the Focus slowdown mode by accident. Or maybe the voices going focus finally sunk in The game also wasnt kidding about the benefits of using headphones. Ive got a decent 7.1 system but the very directional audio was driving me a little crazy. I switched to headphones and it was a lot more enjoyableor at least as enjoyable as the constant stream of voices can be. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! ...

I'll probably finish up Cthulhu this weekend. Probably not much further if I don't do the optional content. blargh that fallen angel boss was a pita since it healed every other turn, and the amount it heals goes up dramatically the longer the fight goes on. though, it's an optional fight. --- The only certain death in the universe is Mother Hitton's Littul Kittons.

Hellblade beated! It's a solid game. Some annoying parts, some fun parts. Certainly some interesting mechanics and vibes that make it worth at least trying out if you've got Game Pass.
