[Rarutos]

Is it okay if I claim the Atelier Meruru OT? I'd love to do that one! Atelier is probably my favorite series. It'd be my first one but I'd do the best I can to make it awesome!

[Sciz]

Serious Sam 3: BFE by Sciz (November 16th 2011)

Due out on Tuesday, so this isn't exactly highly contested, but just putting it out there.

[CarbonatedFalcon]

I haven't started working on it yet (we still don't have a release date!) But particularly if there is someone more versed in the lore/story of Diablo, I'd appreciate if someone could write (or help with it) for a "The story so far..." section.

I'd probably have to do a bit of research myself for that section, even if the copy is only a paragraph or two, as I'm not well-versed in the story.

[Jarmel]

How do we volunteer for certain OTs? Do we just PM the guy doing to OT and offer assistance?

[Blue Ninja]

We'll talk when the time comes. :)

Very well, good sir.

[dorkimoe]

Someone make a dota 2 one please

or can we not have beta threads?

[Mr. Sam]

Ctrl + F: "Bioshock Infinite" = 0 Results

Tremendous! Would you kindly grant me OT duties?

Bioshock Infinite by Mr. Sam (19th November)

[Radec]

I'd like to work on Metal Gear: Rising if it comes this 2012.

[Seda]

I'll go ahead and claim the OT for Kingdom Hearts 3D. That is, the localized version, not the import thread, so bebpo or whoever can still do an import thread.

Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance by Seda (26th November).

May need help with graphical things although I don't plan on it being way fancy.

[The M.O.B]

Luigi Mansion 2 by The M.O.B (26th November)

[Exterminieren]

Kid Icarus Uprising by Exterminieren (26th November)

If anybody wants to help with graphical things, I'm crap with them, so the help would be appreciated.

[pramath]

Can I claim the Kid Icarus Uprising OT?

EDIT: Never mind

[BY2K]

Is it too soon to call the E3 Thread? Because I really want to do the Nintendo Conference Thread a second year in a row.

Nintendo E3 2012 Conference by BY2K (27th November)

[FreeMufasa]

Can I claim the Phantasy Star Online 2 import |OT| ? I think it's releasing Q1 2012.

[Emitan]

Star Wars: The Old Republic by Billychu (28th November)

I vaguely recall someone else claiming this OT months ago, so if you're reading this, just post a link to that post and I'll let you handle it.

[Pranay_]

Those who wish to take the ME 3 OT can take it.

Might as well give it a shot... I'll do it.

Actually, Chinner was next in line for it. You should check with him first.

Ah, nevermind then, he can have it. Less work for me. I'll just call "dibs" in case he doesn't want to anymore.

[Pranay_]

Ok, Chinner !

[Chinner]

yeah i'l ltake it!

[Wiseblade]

Just checking in to say that Legend of Korra's final title has been confirmed as Avatar: The Legend of Korra.

Thank goodness. I'd be seriously pissed off if James Cameron's travesty somehow stole the name.

[Kagari]

FFXIII-2 OT will go live this Thursday since it releases in Japan on 12/15, with the western release just over a month later.

[ULTROS!]

Is anyone doing the Ni no Kuni OT? I'm willing to do it but I need collaborators for the banners.

[Goon Boon]

How about Super MNC for me? It's still in closed beta, but I can probably ready up one now if so.

[Buckethead]

I'm doing the GTA V thread.

Called it awhile ago. :D

[Chet Rippo]

Is it fine if I call the Western OT for a game that hasn't been announced for localization yet, though it most likely will get localized? Or should I just wait until it is announced?

[Divvy]

Can I claim the Mechwarrior Online thread?

Mechwarrior Online by Divvy (12 Dec 2011)

[Nemesis_]

Okay guys, all done and indexed. We're back up to date now. Also went through the boards first few pages to get all the December and November OTs. So this will also act as an archive of sorts so all those awesome OTs and the work put into them doesn't go into waste.

Continue requesting. :)

[Chavelo]

Hmmm... if possible, can I put in my interest on the THPS HD OT?

[Lord Ghirahim]

Please add:

Time Travelers (Import) by Lord Ghirahim (December 15th 2011)

under General 2012.

[Lord Ghirahim]

nvm

[Jarmel]

yeah i'l ltake it!

OK no offense is this even a good idea? Is Chinner capable of doing a neutral unbiased OT considering his hatred of the game? I literally just got a PM from a guy who was concerned that Chinner might try to pull something off like DA2.

Didn't people love that OT?

[Blue Ninja]

Didn't people love that OT?

Eh, some did, some didn't. I personally didn't mind (it was pretty hilarious), but a lot of people felt that an OT should be celebrating (or, as Jarmel said, just be a neutral presentation of) the game instead of smashing it repeatedly over the head with a shovel.

Correct. I would prefer neutral but there really hasn't been anything to warrant a DA2 OT, not to mention this is the biggest game in the first half of the year.

[Chinner]

i'll do the game proud, don't you worry!

I'm sure Chinner will do fine.

See? :lol

don't let the haters get you down chinner

I think Chinner's right. Seventeen page OTs that look like they're paid marketing brochures are pretty awful and generally unreadable anyway.

Joke threads are probably the best way to go forward with this, and it does really capture the spirit of mud slinging we have in the RPG GAF community.

I'm calling Dark Souls 2, The Witcher 3, Deus Ex 4, Fallout 4, The Elder Scrolls VI, and Final Fantasy XV.

I'll try to keep to the high standard Chinner sets for us.

[BY2K]

So we're going to see the Return of the Revengeance of Shit Mountain for the ME3 OT?

I'm okay with this.

[Nirolak]

So we're going to see the Return of the Revengeance of Shit Mountain for the ME3 OT? I'm okay with this.

And the above six.

Essentially I'm giving Chinner ownership of seven RPG OTs, but they will all receive the same treatment in regards to quality (either Chinner's normal masturbation/pandering to nerds jokes with bad fan art or a more thoughtful thread analyzing how that company's promises match up to the end result a la Dragon Age 2) and tone (serious or satirical).

Unless of course he delivers a level of satire I feel I am incapable of matching. At that point threads will be delegated out to someone capable of delivering satire of the appropriate level.

[Chinner]

i know on gaf i sometimes struggle to form coherent sentences but i am already putting effort into the ME3 op. i think you guys will really like it. i understand what nirolak is saying about quality control and stuff, and its chill.

the only thing i lack is manpower, as in i need somebody who is good with photoshop and making gifs.

[Snuggler]

Chinner I can do OK gifs so PM me if you need anything done.

Yeah, it doesn't make sense, no disrespect but why would Chinner make the ME3 OT given the fact that he's one of the biggest ME detractors on GAF, this isn't a secret since he shits on the game in every possible thread. The result is obvious, the thread will be directed to the negative side of the fanbase, redundant as there is already a Mass Effect Franchise Bitching Thread for that specific purpose.

As Nirolak implies, why to contaminate these threads from the beggining? really.

I'll gladly offer my help (with some of the visual elements) to Blue Ninja, Jarmel or whoever wants to make a neutral unbiased ME3 OT.

[Chinner]

you guys keep assuming i'm going to be slagging it off. trust me guys this will be special.

[Great Rumbler]

Chinner, I'll be expecting at least THREE pages dedicated to how the Story Mode is a startling revelation, eye-opening in its brilliance, in an industry bogged down by relying too much on outdated ideals like "gameplay" and "difficulty" and instead takes gaming the next step towards being non-interactive movies.

And don't forget the Kinect integration.
