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.

My son bought Cyberpunk 2077 on sale. I got hooked immediately.

[–] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I just started it too. It’s a ton of fun.

Same here. It hit my <$60 AUD buy point for the ultimate edition.

[–] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Likewise. I picked up the ultimate edition and a dirt cheap game and that was it. The last few sales I’ve favoured getting a bunch of cheap games rather than one good game on a decent sale, but my backlog is getting out of hand at this point.

Haha same here, backlog is not going well. I made a bunch of folders in steam to organise it though so there's that.

Crash Nsane trilogy and Stanley parable were cheap so I got those too.

CP2077 now feels like it's what it was hyped to be before that awful launch, so I'm glad to have waited 5 years.

I need to play through all the short games on my backlog, that would make me feel a lot better about it. Maybe I’ll sort everything in folders based on length so I can finally put a dent in it.

Stanley Parable was awesome. Enjoy it.

I know what you mean about 2077. I’m glad to have waited as long as I did, both because of the cheaper price and also the patches and extra content. It’s a really good game now.
