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.

Favourite patient modern game? (lemmy.world)

A bit of a weird title, but basically what’s a game that’s more than a year old but still considered “modern” that you love? There’s no real strict definition for modern, I’d just like to see some discussion around great games that aren’t quite classics yet (but probably will be one day).

The nature of this community typically attracts discussion around decade-old games (which is what I mostly play too), but I’d like to see some newer (but not too new) games on this post.

Every 2-3 years I'll fire up Terraria again

Me too, thinking I'll finally have some enlightenment as to how to kill the first night or twos zombies without getting killed and rage quitting.

I've even watched "beginner tutorials" on that game game, and conveniently they ended the first video just after nightfall of the first night, and started the second video during the second day, but that's not how it friggin works, you need to murder the enemies lest they murder you, and in 5 different starts of the game, across 3 different devices, I've yet to kill the first or second nights horde without them breaking down my doors and wrecking my shit.

That game is one of my biggest regrets, I bought the 4 pack when it first came out thinking my friends and I would all have a great time, it makes me feel like I'm old and disconnected that I can't enjoy that stupid (supposedly fantastic) game.

If you dig a 2x3 pit immediately adjacent to your door outside the zombies can't break in

............

Thank you for that! Maybe it's that time of the decade again.

Why couldn't any of the tips for noobs have given that advice? (I watched at least half a dozen, many years ago though)

Also if you have an entrance on the ground and build the rest of the base above it you should be set for the early game stuff. (see the first picture on the bases wiki page)

I hope it works for you. I think I've played it more than any other game. The wiki is a fantastic resource if you're feeling stuck.
