>What is this? This is exactly how it sounds: A game is chosen each month (which will be relatively or totally obscure on purpose) with hopes of bringing new avenues of playing potential to anons with narrow video game perspectives. The goal isn't necessarily to pick bad games, but obscure ones nobody, or as few people as possible, have played. You can play the game and then use that fact as bragging rights to others! You can use it to broaden your backlog horizons! or you can forget about it. It's up to you. THIS MONTH: Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean For the Nintendo Gamecube, NTSC version cause fuck you it's the 4th of July >Where do I get this? https://cdromance.org/gamecube/baten-kaitos-eternal-wings-and-the-lost-ocean-usa/ >How does it play? I always do a terrible job at describing these, but let's say it's basically a deckbuilder RPG, but an actually good one and not like those shitty indie games being published by the thousands. I want to take advantage of this space to vent on how absolutely fucked beyond repair the modern mainstream information repository of the internet really is. They will not stop shoving remaster news and bits and bobs everywhere. Literally had to resort to watching crappy videos from 2013. GUIDELINES FOR FUTURE GotMs: Poll for MONTH YEAR: https://poal.me/kwvaqd If you do not like any of the games in the poll, you can either add a new entry manually, or reply to the OP with a different suggestion. Don't come crying to me if you don't like the game, blame democracy. If you DO suggest a game though, please, report all relevant information on the game (magnet/dl link, interesting mods, guides, tutorials on tech, speedrun etc.). Feel free to suggest any and every game you can think of, bonus points if it's games that barely anyone has played or talks about in the [Current Year] or that fit the month thematically. However, try and follow these rules: 1) No game that relies on modern hardware. If the game cannot be pirated or emulated properly, or no working emulator for the game exists, most people won't be able to enjoy it, rendering the thread kind of pointless; 2) No always-online games, meaning no live service games or mobile games that are dependent on external servers, unless a backup instance of said servers has been created by its fans or the offline content is significantly larger than the online content; 3) For multiplayer games, provide only free to play games that let players create their own servers, or games with local multiplayer that can be set up to play online (requires someone to be a hostfag, or, and may Allah forgive me for uttering these words, using Parsec); 4) No game that requires gimmicky controls to be enjoyable (guitar pedals, Wiimotes, cameras etc.) unless they can be easily remapped or translated into some other control scheme.
