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 spent a mostly uneventful morning sailing the high seas in Sea of Thieves. It was nice.
Continuing Metaphor: ReFantazio. It's the most consistently polished game Atlus made (that I played) in years, though maybe SMT VV has a chance once I get to it. The only ones that come to mind are Persona 5/Royal (however much I prefer P3 and P4), and Etrian Odyssey V. Both of which had longer development times compared to their series, who knew?
My only complaint is that it doesn't have any 10/10 aspect that I'd love, most of my favourite games are somewhat flawed anyway, as long as they have that special aspect that clicks. But then, Persona 3 had nothing like that until the endgame, so there's still time for it to surprise me.
All of my favourite games, artists, movies, and anything else I’m interested in all have something that I don’t consider 10/10 so I definitely see what you mean
I think for me this weirdness is most obvious with books, the best novels that change you, stick in your memory and make you see the world differently are never 10/10s because that would mean they simply fulfilled the expectations you had before picking the book up.
A 10/10 novel is still awesome but it is more of a comfort food experience which while wonderful isn't the same kind of experience.

I started playing No Man’s Sky again recently. My game from XBox didn’t transfer to Steam and I didn’t feel like trying to troubleshoot it, so I just started fresh. I’ll probably play that until my new character has unlocked everything.
I also picked up Stray and haven’t yet gotten into it much. I also recently bought Everspace, but haven’t even started the game yet. Soon, though.
I really liked Stray, short and sweet with an engaging narative and solid visual design. Simplistic gameplay, but it's satisfying enough to keep things moving.
I’m going to try getting back into RDR2, and start on Undertale and Prey. Maybe Shadowrun: Hong Kong and Fallout 4?
Started Grim Dawn (ARPG) and Genesis Order (AVN, although I suppose that one is fairly recent).
Finally grabbed a copy of Sekiro, and though I’ve never been much of a fan of uncompromisingly punishing games, I’m optimistic that this will be the one that gets me there.
Haven’t started it yet, so it’s possible, if not likely that it’s going to kick my ass.
Sekiro is awesome! I really hope you enjoy it. If you feel stuck, just watch fightincowboy's guides on youtube. It helps to view the fights from a calmer perspective -- it's better imo for learning patterns than throwing yourself over and over again at a boss.
Thanks! That’s good advice. Even in easier games I always have to stop and remind myself to chill and figure out the pattern. And whenever I do, it’s much more manageable and ultimately more fun.
Some ESO, some Counter-Strike in the usual amounts, however I just bought GTA IV and want to finally play the story instead of just ducking around with RPGs and "the swing" 😁

Just started Disgaea 1. For whatever reason I've bounced off this game half a dozen times since first trying it all the way back at release, but I've more or less settled into a groove with it now.
Having a good time with it, though I'm wondering if I should pick up a manual or something somewhere. Kind of obtuse systems and details I'd normally be able to get out of the UI, but not here.
I've had games where it can take a few tries to get into it. Some of them have ended up being my favorite games.

I just started the thaumaturge and it's freaking awesome. Looking forward to Stalker 2 later this year after they patched it a bit more
Dune Imperium: Uprising. Gotten my whole group into it. Might organise a tournament for the heck of it.

Just picked up a PS5 finally. Price dropped and tax free. First thing I did was go to the library. They had a copy of RoboCop Rogue city available which is perfect for me.
I've already put a hold on the dead space remake
Elden Ring’s expansion! I failed the tree boss multiple times, with help.
Noe, Class of ‘09: the Re-Up!
Make sure that's the last class of 09 game you play. Do not. Play Flip side.
Ahhhh I’m so sad to hear the third game isn’t good, especially after the hilarious short anime episode. I will still play it but my expectations are set hahaha
Good luck! I absolutely loved SotE
It’s so hard! I love it.
I'm gonna be booting up Pathologic 2 once my new computer comes in.
Replaying ranked Mario kart and seeing the meta evolve has been cool. There are so many yoshis now.
Finishing up Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom (not patient, I know), Hogwarts Legacy, and A Hat in Time.
After that, I'm excited to play some games I got in the Steam sale:
- Bomb Rush Cyberfunk
- Firewatch
- South Park: The Stick of Truth
I'm going to try holding off buying more games this year to get through a bunch of games I have that I haven't played.
I'm still playing Warband
Hopped back into Octopath (the first one) after finishing Sea of Stars. It's a honker of a game haha I feel like it's going to take me a while.
