Idea: Book Club but for games

3 years ago by baqpad to c/patientgamers

Basic idea is to have the community all play the same game and then talk about it and our experiences.

I feel the games should be either very inexpensive or free. Even a demo or "Prologue" would be an easy way to make it free. In regards to selecting games we could use community engagement and vote in some fashion, or have a pool of games which everybody contributes to and one is selected at random.

This is just a random idea I had but wanted to throw it out there.

Thanks for listening!

There's already a Gameclub on the official Patient Gamers Discord (https://discord.gg/patientgamers). Every month they choose a Long Game and a Short Game to discuss and play together. This month's games are Hotel Dusk and Hitman: Blood Money.

If you're on Backloggd, there's also the unofficial Backloggd Discord Game of the Week, with a greater focus on weird/obscure short games.

Oh my gosh, this is great! Thanks for posting about this. I'll scoot on over to their Discord.

A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

No memes please.
