Januarys Games: Batman: The Enemy Within (PC/XB1/PS4/Switch/Android/iOS) DOOM II (PC/XB1/PS4/Switch/iOS/Android360/PS3/GBA/Saturn/PS/Tapwave) Hitman 2 (PC/XB1/PS4/Stadia) 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 around a week before the end of the month - 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 If you smell what the rock is cooking he's cooking crap - ertyu ...

I think all three of these games are sequels to games done on this project before... All of which I didn't end up playing much of. Probably a bad sign for completing anything this month for me! I still might get back to playing DOOM (1993), though, so I guess DOOM 2 might still be a possibility. --- Our eyes were removed For our own safety ... Copied to Clipboard!

BUT ALL IS NOT LOST! There is an option to manually input your choices from the first game.

I ended up playing a few chapters of Batman. I'm playing on Xbox, which has had free cloud saving for nearly a decade, so it was a simple process for me to import my season one choices. I was unsure at first because the old and current Telltale are different companies, so I didn't know if they would retain such a feature, but I'm guessing that because Batman was one of the few licenses they got renewed, the import would work. I'm curious what would happen if tried with the Minecraft games. For a game engine that hadn't been updated much, or maybe even at all, for at least half a decade after it was first used, I always felt like the Batman games utilized the QTEs the best. The stylish font/UI, set pieces with accompanying music, and how they slow down the scene when it is ready to input the prompt are all very fitting for a superhero game. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy If you smell what the rock is cooking he's cooking crap - ertyu ...

Episode 2 of Batman finished: 81.7% saw Tiffany become worried 99.8% saw Waller become content 33.9% saw Alfred become stressed 60.2% saw Harley become happy 81.1% saw Gordon become worried 50.1% saw Tiffany hand over key and hide 28.4% called Waller over Gordon 44.2% tried to calm Willy down in bar with a drink 42.2% followed Harley instead of Bane during the street heist 95.0% pinky-swore John The only two that I really care about getting a more positive relationship, as the game refers to it as, with are Alfred and Tiffany. Tiffany seems to be on the way, but I guess that I'm struggling with Alfred. I'm a little disappointed with the portrayals of Bane/Mr. Freeze since they seem to be throwaway villains, so I'm hoping the return of Catwoman marks an improvement in episode 3. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy If you smell what the rock is cooking he's cooking crap - ertyu ...

I finally started DOOM II, beating Levels 1-7. The change away from an episodic structure is certainly interesting. The way I tend to play, it means I'll have to consciously let myself restart from scratch upon death sometimes, as indeed I already have. Otherwise, diminishing returns were inevitable, and this batch of levels generally felt samey, but the DOOM formula still holds up. I'll also use the first of my nominations on Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney right now, since we've apparently never had any Ace Attorney games for GotM?

It doesn't make sense that the only explanation for the altercation in the streets from the previous episode could only be due to someone tipping law enforcement off. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy If you smell what the rock is cooking he's cooking crap - ertyu ...

KCF has beaten Batman: The Enemy Within Episode 5 results: 40.2% remain in a stalemate with Waller 1.9% left Gordon feeling disillusioned (whoa such a small percentage) 35.1% made no deal with Waller on Selina's behalf 80.6% took Tiffany under your wing 54.9% asked Avesta to come work for you 58.0% let Alfred go rather than give up being Batman 54.0% told Joker you were still friends 15.4% saved Agent Harrison 77.4% took Tiffany out in the field 68.5% refused to hand over Joker to Waller 58.0% chose to never give up being Batman 55.1% defeated vigilante Joker Overall, I was very pleased with this. Only including games using this formula that Telltale used (Jurassic Park on), I would probably rank this third after The Wolf Among Us and Tales from the Borderlands. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy If you smell what the rock is cooking he's cooking crap - ertyu ...

I absolutely adore these games and will look forward to playing the 3rd in about a year.

Up to stage 20 in Doom 2 (including finishing the secret stages). it definitely has sort similar vibe that you'd expect to see from amateur custom levels in these middle parts. Trying recreate buildings/spaces that tile set isn't really suited for or fit with the setting/story (mostly the feeling of indecisiveness, that they couldn't decide whether to make a scifi game or a fantasy game so you've just got a big medieval castle in the middle of an industrial area that doesn't feel very mechanical or gritty, and I keep expecting to find log cabins in the middle of what's supposed to be a futuristic city), levels with more vertical elements and open spaces that the engine isn't really suited for, and going a bit overboard on the number of enemies.
