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 didn’t watch the video and probably never will, simply because I’ve watched too many and I hate that topic so much I spend the time I used to watch YouTube now on playing games.

I have played a particular western made game for the first time and finished it about a week ago. Without spoilering the massive thing that happens, I try to be as generic as possible: I have not played a single western made game in the last 5 years where the hero physically saves a girl, only to be saved by her emotionally.

I think that was too vague. Also, I'm not real clear if that's good or bad.

If I would be any less vague, it would be like "when Luke found out he kissed his sister shortly before facing his father for the final time"

I'm trying to think of any game I played that was like that. You have some examples (western or not, old or not) on your mind?

Kingdom Hearts would be one, FF9 another one, I think you could count NieR automata as well
