That's a good point, we'll just keep it as is.
And thanks, I'll mainly be spending it at home though, but it's nice to have a break T_T

OK. I'll try to claim it when it is announced then in that case. Or is that what you are saying to do?

E3 2014 | General Information and FAQ by Rösti (15th January 2014)
I just became a proper member and was interested in making some OTs, but I have a question. Someone already said that you can't make OTs for games not formally announced, but what about games announced in certain territories but not yet announced to be localized for others?
I saw some people already nabbed the Persona games back when they were announced for Japan back in November, but no details for any other releases have been made. They're basically guaranteed to come out in America, but in Dantis' case, he lives in Europe, which is notorious for having nebulous release dates for Atlus games. I would've assumed that you just get dibs for all the releases, but the fact that there are going to be two Bravely Default OTs kinda shot that down.
Sorry if this should be obvious, but I'm just genuinely confused.

That's what "Import Thread" is if I recall correctly.

Needs to be added to the OP.
They seem to have said it simply needs to be formally announced.
Often, if an game is released separate times several months apart, there will be a main OT, and then perhaps a separate one specifically for the second release that got left out of the original release.
So for example if Persona is released in Japan exclusively, there will simply be an OT for Persona. If there is a Europe/US relase later, then there will often (thought not always) be a separate OT for the new versions, especially if there are any new or changed features. In this case, there is no OT for the Japanese version. All versions subscribe to the main OT. Only later-released versions of the game receive a dedicated OP, if at all.
This often happens with games that release exclusively on consoles and then later on PC. There is almost always a PC OT of the game when this happens, often indicating what has been done on the new port, whether and what DLC for consoles is now included in the PC version natively, etc.
In that case, I believe I have seen the main OT for the game updated with PC version info, and perhaps a link to the PC OT before.
Somebody please correct me if I am wrong here.

Basically, when you claim an OT, the assumption is that you've claimed the US release (Which is specifically what I claimed for Dancing All Night). Import OTs aren't as big a deal, so there's usually just an import impression thread instead.
If there's like nine months between the US and EU releases, a second OT is sometimes made, or in some cases, the original OT is moved out of Community and back into Gaming.

both good pieces of info, thank you.
Okay, got it! Part of me assumed that was the case, but it hardly seemed fair to just assume that as the default mode of operation, particularly with GAFers all over the place. Basically, I was just checking to see if I needed to check my "US-centric privileges" at the door. =P
Has anyone mentioned this yet? I'll put my hand up if not..

HI GUYS
Could I please request the OT for 24: Live Another Day? It'll be up in late April, posted in Off Topic as it's a TV show.
I've never done an OT before, so I dunno if this is the correct procedure
24: Live Another Day by richisawesome (22nd Jan 2014)
OT will go up last week of april

That'd be cool, but to be able to post that, you're going to need to step up your post count. You've been a member for more than three months, so you're all good there, but you still have to reach 300 posts as well to become a full member, so you can make a thread. Hope that's helpful.
Otherwise, I look forward to your OT!

Oh really?
I did not know about any minimums. I come to Neogaf everyday but I guess I am more a reader than writer. Hotline Miami 2 is a game I know I will be very active in the OT so might as well make it
Thank you for the tips!
Excited for this.

Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z by Tizoc (28th January 2014)
A quick thread search would show that nobody has, and I believe you're supposed to follow a certain format for claiming OTs. It'd be rather crappy of them, but I believe somebody else could technically take claim to Ninja Gaiden Z if they did it the proper way. I would suggest following the format in the OP.

This is overdue, since the game came out on the 29th, but nobody has done one and this game deserves one.
I don't have posting privileges, so will need someone else to make the actual post. I should have it ready later today.

As a city building game in the vein of SimTown, only better, this game will deserve to have it's own OT!

So no one wanted to make an OT for Octodad? I mean, I could, but I'm too busy to work on anything before Saturday, and I'm not likely to buy the game any time soon

Sounds more like a community thread, which should cover all the games, so just cover Doom 3 as well.
I'd feel icky if Doom 3 were included in a thread for 2.5D Doom games. Not like my opinion counts for anything :\

Well, it's not likely anyone's going to want to play D3, but may as well put it there for reference!
I liked doom 3
I liked it, too. I'm not going to say that I wish they called it something else, because I don't.. but I can understand why some people may be hesitant to welcome it as a Doom game.
That said, most people have no problem accepting Final Doom so they shouldn't talk
edit: Levyne, that works

Generally they get a couple days in Gaming to draw attention then get shuffled into Community.
