Wesley Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 How do you guys feels about starting a Game Club? Basically, this was stolen from Kotaku, but aren't all the best ideas stolen (well... apart from that SIXAXIS thing...)? For those who don't read Kotaku the Game Club is essentially like a regular Book Club. A game is nominated, played by the us gamers and then we discuss the game in the forum/chat room. These chats are then logged (or just kept as stickies or what have you) for others to read. Things we need to consider before doing this is the nomination process that will take place. Many people feel that games we all own should be nominated while others think that more obscure little gems should be tried out. So, discuss. Another thing that needs to be considered is what we will discuss about the game; the usual graphics, sound, gameplay, lifespan shouldn't be used because it's so boring. We want insight to the game so we either need new points to discuss or simply have no points and make it a bit more free and open. So, discuss. Other things need to be considered such as how long we give ourselves to complete the game. Also, this obviously can't take constantly because we can't all keep buying games every week... well, I can. So what do you guys think? EDIT: This was inspired by Link telling us that we suck. :P
Tellyn Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 Nice idea. Considering Nintendo's latest warpath, innovation would be a good topic.
Wesley Posted June 21, 2007 Author Posted June 21, 2007 This is more like it. Great idea, man. Cuh, contribute. We need ideas for types of games, or even specific games to be including in the voting. Opinions, etc.
The Bard Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 I'd say we should all go out and buy Ikaruga and then share our experiences on that. It's a rare breed of game these days, and it's also one of the top ten games on the cube.
Wesley Posted June 21, 2007 Author Posted June 21, 2007 Steal obviously. and that's quite a good idea Mardy Bardy; if we did Gamecube games it would be cheaper and also theirs a wider library; especially odd ones like that little plug that runs about plugging himself in places.
thirtynine. Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 I'd say we should all go out and buy Ikaruga and then share our experiences on that. It's a rare breed of game these days, and it's also one of the top ten games on the cube. Im up for that, Ive been meaning to pick it up but im just not motivated enough to play when there are no achivements involved so this would help.
Wesley Posted June 21, 2007 Author Posted June 21, 2007 Maybe if we try to get hold of it for "educational" purposes?
Jamba Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 I say we do something that we all know and probably have. I'd like to do Metroid Prime.
Zell Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 I vote we go out and play some more retro games. I mean if we did Metroid Prime, we could easily have a conversation about it without actually buying and playing it again. Maybe we could start off with playing some classic SNES games? /idea
McMad Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 I'm up for this, but make sure the game we pick is cheap and not obscure. Is this club only applicable to Nintendo consoles?
Jamba Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 Good call. Something a bit out there, but it needs to be on VC really doesnt it?
The Bard Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 But everyone's already played that. The point of this is new experiences, or so I think. Instead, everyone proceed to buy/ download Chrono Trigger before coming on here and testifying to it's unrivalled awesomeness. Also, if this is going to be like my games club, there needs to be copious amounts of beer. Never mind that it's online damnit, where there's a will, there's a way o_0.
Maiky-NiSuTe Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 nisute is a game club and has been for years. we have events and club days full of the latest games and the latest consoles and you barely have to bring something your self be coarse we have every thing already here. well if you live near Tilburg in the Netherlands come and see for your self. PM me if you want to come.
Zygo Ape Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 I had this idea ages ago, never really began to formulate though. I did have one idea of the first game that should be used. Anyone ever played Vexx? Its a GC title, ive never had chance to play it and it looks like it could be interesting.
Fierce_LiNk Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 Cuh, contribute. We need ideas for types of games, or even specific games to be including in the voting. Opinions, etc. Ok, I'll think of something. Maybe it would be wise to start on Gamecube games first, and then as more and more Wii titles get released, include them. I'm not sure how you could base it on anything else other than graphics, sound, gameplay. Hmm, we need ideas on this.
The Bard Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 Yeah, it's a good idea to start with Cube, cause it's awesome and everyone has one . Games are pretty cheap for it too these days.
Haden Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 I vote for freedom fighters if your doing cube games. Cheap Underated classic noone played Plus I didnt play it! Anyone up for that?
The fish Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 Start with something nice, simple, fun, and common, like Burnout.
Fierce_LiNk Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 Awesome, we're gaining some pace now. Ok, I suggest we post our game suggestions, and then we'll let Wes decide which game to go for, as it's his club.
Hero-of-Time Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 Ok, I'll think of something. Maybe it would be wise to start on Gamecube games first, and then as more and more Wii titles get released, include them. I agree with this. *rubs hands as he looks at his 100+ Gamecube collection* Bring it on!
The fish Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 I vote for freedom fighters if your doing cube games. Cheap Underated classic noone played Plus I didnt play it! Anyone up for that? I've heard it's very good, but I've never played it. If I can find it on the (very, very) cheap, I'm up for that. I'd prefer Burnout though, or Battalion Wars. Actually, Battalion Wars isn't a bad idea...
Haden Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 I've heard it's very good, but I've never played it. If I can find it on the (very, very) cheap, I'm up for that.
