There's an idea that was floating around a little while ago and I'd like to get some feedback on it from anons - to see if people would participate or not. There are lots of multiplayer games that are dead, abandoned or just not played very much nowadays, all for different reasons - perhaps a quality MMO died of shitty devs or naturally, maybe some first person shooter game just never took off for some reason - all of it doesn't matter. What matters, however, is that some games are very dead when they don't have any right to be. So, what could be done to alleviate the problem?
Imagine, if you will, a recurring general where anons pick one vidya to play every month and try to get as good at it as possible. The genre doesn't matter, if the game's fun, if it has a high skill cap and if you can play it together, you could play it with anons and have boatloads of fun. At the end of each month, people could reflect their thoughts about the game and about how good they've gotten and then move on to the new one. It would kinda be like the Gauntlet threads and what /radcorp/'s doing, except it'd be a full month's worth of multiplayer vidya, non-stop.
There's tons of videogames that could be nominated for this, but for now I'd just like to get your opinion - would you participate or not? Are there enough people that might consider concentrating on getting good at a vidya that anons have voted on? What kind of games would you suggest? Would you be willing to talk about in-game strategy if those threads do happen? Pls reply.
