What is this: In this thread we all play a game for 2 weeks and discuss it in this thread, at the end of the 2 weeks we pick a new game and start all over again.
Current Titles:
Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines - May 1st
Hydorah - May 15th
---
So looking at the backlog of shame thread it seem like a lot of us have similar games we're all trying to play in the near future. For me one of the reasons it's fun playing a game when it first comes out is there is usually a thread for it on here and I can talk/read about how other people are doing in the game, commiserate, etc. So if we can get a game that enough people want I think it might be fun to all play through it together at roughly the same time and have a thread for it similar to how racketboy does together retro. Would anyone else be interested in something like this?

So it's like a book club for video games. Could be cool.
I'd be in. Pick a game, Dustin.

Romancing or Unlimited Saga. Actually, save that for the summer, when I can get my hands on my PS2 again. But I nominate one of those two.

I've got some adventure games like Starship Titanic, Curse of Monkey Island, and Syberia I've been wanting to play through. Those might be more doable in a shorter amount of time.

yeah I'd like to play a bunch of these but I think it'd work better at first if it wasn't a really long rpg.
It sounds like people are down so I'll wait for some more suggestions from people and then put up a poll with the top choices and we can all pick the first game to play. Some things to consider...
Shorter is probably better. More people will have time for a 20 hour game then a 60 hour one.
Multiple platforms or emulatable is good so that people can play it even if they don't have a specific console. Since most of the games people are mentioning aren't current generation this probably isn't that big a deal since worst comes to worst you can emulate it. Also, if it's not new it won't be super expensive to buy.
Glad to see some people would be interested

I'm getting close to finishing Saga Frontier, so I could probably do an RPG if I had a whole month to devote to it.
PS2 titles might be pushing it, though, as availability is a little irregular. I can drive 30 miles to score a copy of Romancing Saga, but for others that might be a problem.
I'd also rather play something new than a game like Deus Ex, fun as it was. That's pretty much what Dustin's goal was.
And I got a bunch of replies while I was typing this, but whatever.

I am down as long as I do not spend any money (holy shit I'm poor). I'd also be down for either Deus Ex or BG2 or whatever. Someone pull the trigger on this shit.

DEUS EX
Deus ex is fine with me, as I've only played it for five minutes and it's just been sitting there in my steam queue. But honestly, anything would be good as long as it can be easily emulated/bought. |
