A gaming community 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.

I know we're already in February, but what are you looking forward to playing this year?

I am currently limited to my PS4 and an older laptop as far as big-screen gaming is concerned, and I am going to be playing some sequels:

  • The Witcher II - The 3rd part is more famous but I hear 2 has the better story. I am also one of those who really enjoyed part 1!
  • Pillars of Eternity 2 - the first one was so good I can't wait
  • Red Dead Redemption II - which I got for my birthday. It is absolutely HUGE. RDR1 is in my all-time favorite games list.

As for handheld gaming, I have recently gotten a Nintendo DS Lite and a PSP so I will be playing some:

  • Deadeus - a 2D horror game that someone recommended on this thread

  • Final Fantasy Tactics funnily enough, I never played this! I did enjoy the GBA version a lot though.

  • Jeanne D'Arc apparently it is one of the PSP's best titles.

As someone with a lot of IRL obligations, I will be very happy if I make it through this list.

What is on your list?

I don't really plan things out like that, but here are a few I've been putting off for one reason or another:

  • Red Dead Redemption 2
  • Mass Effect Legendary
  • Xenoblade Chronicles
  • Witcher 3

I also have a lot of IRL obligations, so I usually end up playing shorter indie games instead. I love those games, but I also enjoy longer stories, but they're a bit harder to get into.

I'll probably also play some classic Nintendo Switch games, like Kirby and Mario (haven't played any this gen aside from Mario Kart 8).

Even speaking as a big fan of Xenoblade, it is a typical JRPG with an extremely expansive story. I hope you like it and then play the second part which is my personal favorite.

I've already started it (got to the invasion part), and I can already tell it's going to have a great story. Just need to make the time to finish it.

And yeah, I hear the rest of the series is great, so I'll be playing in order.
