What is Game of the Season Club?

Game of the Season 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 season. The three games featured each season are chosen by YOU the users (and Lady Luck).

The Basics

- Each season will usually feature three games that were chosen via a random drawing from a pool of games that users nominated

- For each of the games you beat you get a cool point on our just-for-fun standings as well as a nomination for next season's randomized drawing

- In order to receive the point and nomination, you must beat said game within the three months of the season in question. However, you can get a point but no nomination even if you beat it a season late.

- If you beat one of the current season'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. Note that I used the word "month" here on purpose; the previously beaten waiver isn't for a whole season.

- Drawing for next season will begin around a week or so before the season ends, give or take.

- 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 season
- You receive additional nominations each season for beating one of the featured games
- The same game can't win twice
- 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 season's game but before the end of the season
- You have 3 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 season

The tl;dr is that it's the game of the month club, but seasonal, and you can complete a game late and still get a point because the goal here is to make completing super long games stress free.

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.

Maybe going to tackle Kotor.

I could finally try KotOR

Kakarot has been in the backlog for a long time, so I should play that

Reposting my first post about GTA5:
I've started on GTA5...

My beginning hour of time has left me feeling like an old man, overwhelmed by all the controls, pop ups, etc. The amount of shit I see popping up in the upper left corner is a bit overwhelming: get a haircut, change your clothes, race planes or some shit. There's like 2 dozen radio stations?!? I'm doing the first real mission where you have to steal the bike, and I'm driving after him when he runs, and it took way (way, way, way, waaaaaaay) longer than it should for me to aim and shoot that idiot off the bike (after chasing him literally MILES out of town).

Playing on PS5, btw. It actually uses the adaptive triggers, which is nice...I guess? I had an issue trying to switch characters during the prologue. It kept telling me to hold down on the D-Pad and use the right stick but that just did not work. Eventually I realized the touch pad could get the job done to switch. But that was not a great moment for my patience.

Tag for KotoR

Bump for May. Got Kotor downloaded, hoping to start it soonish this month!
