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.

Cyberpunk 2077 released in December 2020. Almost 4 years later, what is your opinion on it? (lemmy.cafe)

A solid game in its current state. Probably one of the best games of the decade for me, just not in top 5. Has that "once you start playing, suddenly it's 3 hours later" factor. Extremely atmospheric world design. Lots of great writing too.

Now, it does have the annoying thing that it sometimes keeps reminding me of games that did some aspect better. For example: Vehicle physics feel completely hokey. ("Man, I wish I was playing Saints Row 3/4") Can't really go exploring everywhere, would have loved to explore more rooftops and such. ("Man, I've got to get back to Mirror's Edge") Not exactly a prime stealth game in accordance with the laws of the art form. ("Man, Deus Ex was the shit, got to play it")

Man, I love the vehicle handling. It's far from perfect but I much prefer the weightiness of Cyberpunk (or GTA IV) over more "Hollywood" approach of most games. I realize I'm in a minority on this one but I hope they keep it in the next game (just with extra polish, obviously).

Same. I like feeling every bump.
