Community Playthrough - Now With Poll - Please Vote

[Crabmaster2000]

So after a somewhat successful group playthrough of The Last Story, Fleach and I were curious to know if you guys would like to try another community playthrough of something. Since we had a fair amount of interest in The Last Story I figured we could stick with the same platform and genre. Since Pandora's Tower is coming out soon (and for only $40) I thought I'd see if any of you guys would like to join us in playing it to completion shortly after its release.

If another game would be preferred I'm very open to suggestions though. Also we have some time to hammer out the details before it launches, but would you guys prefer to play in a slightly more rigid manor that we did with The Last Story. For example we could set goals like "Week 1 get to point X and stop, Week 2 get to point Y and stop". That way we can all discuss up to the same area with as close to equal knowledge of the plot and mechanics as possible.

Please toss any ideas you might have at me so we can figure out the best way to play for everyone involved.

Would it be possible to have it be a game that exists on multiple platforms?

I'm up for Pandora's Tower with checkpoints.  Got a copy a couple o weeks back, and haven't broken the seal yet.

i'd like to do it again, that was fun for TLS. not sure about Pandora's Tower, i'll have to see if it looks like something i'd want to play...though i was considering getting it just for the potential collectability, you never know if it'll get a bubble like xenoblade did. i do really like the idea of doing a game at launch though, then more people can become involved  because it'll be new to everyone...i know i saw a couple posts for TLS from people that had already beaten the game and so they weren't really participating with us because of it.

I'm game for Pandora's Tower. I actually saw a group playthrough of a Final Fantasy game on some other forum and it seemed to work really well using the book club/checkpoint system.

Fokakis makes a good point about a cross-platform game. Then no one feels left out and maybe we can attract more people to the site. I'll do some homework into fun cross-platform games.

[techwizard]

actually another idea would be to switch systems every time we play, that would work nicely too.

I'm up for Pandora's Tower, got it for xmas but haven't got round to playing it yet. I like the check point idea too.

[Silent Scythe]

Sounds good to me as long as everyone is willing to wait for the US release date. If not that's okay too.

[Fleach]

Is the US release date Aril 16th? That's the release date in Canada.

Throw some specific ideas at us, definitely a good idea.

not a new release but what about Lord of the Rings: War in the North? it's on my list of games to play and would work well for this

The EB Games website says 4/16 2013. But hey, if the game's going to be out in three weeks I won't complain.

I looked into multiple platform games and the ones that  caught my eye were Batman: Arkham Asylum (360/PS3) and Indigo Prophesy/Farenheit (PS2/XBox).

I'd totally play through Batman again. Love that game. Indigo is one I've been meaning to pick up for a very long time too. Would be a good excuse for me to finally grab it.

[Fleach]

I kind of want to play something that would be new for everyone or at least as many people as possible. We'd all be fresh and experiencing it for the first time. That would it really fun.

I have a copy of Indigo and really want to play it before Quantic Dream's next game comes out in October.
