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.

What are your favorite single player games to go back to often?

Minecraft
Furi
Mario 64
Super Mario World
GTA SA and Vice City

It's kinda rare for me to go back to a single player game and replay it, but there are some games that are nostalgic in the same way place or smell can be nostalgic.

I know them so well that I can't help but want to go back and visit and I never really get disappointment by the experience. Sure, I don't get as immersed as the first time, but I definitely still enjoy the games.

The endings were interesting, but despite being distinct, they also kinda felt samey. Like Mass Effect 3, just a little less so.
It was like after having run around NC for so long, and doing so much, there just wasn't a feeling of fulfillment for me with any of the endings.

That’s fair, I can see where you’re coming from there for sure.

To be honest, I ran through all the different endings once, and then settled on one that I personally prefer every time after that for a bit, but lately I actually just play all the way through, finish every gig, mission, and scanner hustle up to that final point of no return, and that’s where I quit. Then start over from scratch lol. I’ve ended my last 3 playthroughs that way.

Sometimes I hop back in and do some missions, or drive around and kill a bunch of gangers. But having done all the endings I just don't feel like it's really interesting. It's just GTA in the future.
