solidbatman Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Just want to gauge interest for an idea I have. I was thinking of possibly starting a Fuwanovel gaming club, where we play... video games. We would all play the same game/s over a period of time, and discuss what we like/don't like etc. Any interest in this? Nimbus and ExtraMana 2
Turnip Sensei Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Sure, group activity makes me strangely motivated to play whatever. I'm definitely in.
Kurisu-Chan Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 I'm a huge huge huge huge huge videogamer, and i completely assume it. It would be an honor to be part of such a club.
Eclipsed Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 It might be hard to get everyone to finish a game by a set time but ya this sounds fun
solidbatman Posted April 2, 2015 Author Posted April 2, 2015 It might be hard to get everyone to finish a game by a set time but ya this sounds fun It doesn't have to be completed. And it'd be enough time to get a good impression. Lord knows it takes me months to finish games usually.
Funyarinpa Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 I am in this, but can I request something A maximum limit for the budget we will need to buy the game. I mean, if it is anything above $20, there is a very very very low chance I'd be able to buy it. We should also determine a platform/ a series of platforms Maybe we could also have a "retro gaming club" where people use emulators to play through retro games ...Sorry a bit tired lately Getsuya 1
firecat Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 i will join but i wont pay for many games that are not interesting.
Tesla Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 I'm interested in joining in but depending on platform and prices of the games I may not be able to take part.
EldritchCherub Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 This sounds interesting. I'll join if this becomes a thing and I have the video game in my possession. Is a review mandatory at the end of the cycle or is this more of a casual venture where everyone posts there thoughts along the way?
Mr. Meogii Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 I'm Game Dat Pun I'm down. Interested, but depends what game/system. would it really depend on the system ? Because most games are offered on a variety of systems. ExtraMana 1
ExtraMana Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 I'm in, I play games more than I weeb out although technically I play plenty of japanese games so I'm still in full weeb mode. Having seen clubs like this on several forums over the years I would highly suggest you aggregate all platforms, new and old games to one place otherwise the activity will drop off quickly. I've seen that happen several times. Currently playing: Atelier Shallie Alchemists of Dusk (working on a video review) Also playing Hyperdevotion Noire thinking of ditching it can't seem to get past one level can't figure out how. My non-weeb game I'm playing is Wasteland 2 on pc which is alledgly moving from Unity 4 to Unity5 soon so yay for a free graphics upgrade. After I review Atelier Shallie I will then be playing Tokyo Twilight. I like my vidya.
Nimbus Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 I'd like to give this a go, the only problem is I'm in a bit of a financially difficult situation. I'd love to buy new games but I simply lack the money.
julyan Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 I have an ancient hardware so I'll pass. Unless someone could give me some budget lol.
sub-zer0 Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 I'll join if its Via steam or any PC game, we should look for a co-op game with lots of slots ,since there might be a lot of people that wants in as well
Cyrillej1 Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 I might be interested, but it depends on what system, game, and how this will work out. I mostly just play Rpgs.. current one I'm playing right now is FFType-0.
Shikomizue Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 I'd be willing to join if it's a free game or something I have.
Getsuya Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 I'll join if we're doing retro games. Shorter, cheaper, gives me an excuse to go pick up a Super Famicom or Famicom again etc etc. Edit: Not that I'm suggesting everyone would need to get legit copies. I imagine most people will emulate old stuff since retro gaming in other countries isn't quite as cheap and accessible as it is in Japan. I'm just looking for an excuse to pick up some retro games to have around the house anyway.
sirjabberwock Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 It sounds cool. Will anyone be getting Mortal Kombat X on PC?
Snowtsuku Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Is this the Video Game equivalent for the VN club and Manga club?
solidbatman Posted April 3, 2015 Author Posted April 3, 2015 I'll get up my full idea for this after I finish this damned homework assignment
solidbatman Posted April 4, 2015 Author Posted April 4, 2015 Alright. That bullshit assignment is done.Now for my more fleshed out idea for this as we have plenty of interest. The first hurdle we have is the cost. Not everyone has the means, or addiction to buy as much as others. Naturally, I will attempt to stick to cheaper games as much as possible, but also would like to tackle longer games, mostly because I hate a lot of indie games (don't get me started on this). One thing we do have going for us, is emulation. Lower end systems can typically run NES and SNES roms without much fuss, and a decent mid range system can handle PS1 emulation. So that is certainly an option. The first step for me, is to get an idea of what everyone has. If you want to, make a list of what systems you own, and how you would classify your computer (lower, mid, high, i have too much money ultra). If we have the numbers, we can certainly split this into groups. For example, us PS3 fags can be playing Eternal Sonata for the month, while another group could be playing emulated Parasite Eve or something. And then we of course have Steam and GoG. This would tie more into what type of computer you have and how you would classify it. How I see this working, is we as a group pick a game. Unlike anime, vn, and manga clubs, we don't have the option of free console gaming unless it is emulated, so we would need to find a game many of us own. Then, over the course of a month or so, we play the game x number of hours. You don't have to beat the game of course, and sticking to a certain number of hours will make sure we dont spoil things for others by discussing it. We then discuss what we thought of the game, and our experiences. I see this as a way to maybe get introduced to new genres and games, as well as here other view points from people who maybe have different taste. We might get some cool discussion out of all of this. So, thoughts on this?
