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.

When I'm not playing baldurs gate 3, I'm stopping in on baldurs gate 1 which I didn't play back in the day(I only had 2), The original kingdom hearts, a second playthrough of final fantasy remake in anticipation of rebirth, outer worlds, midnight Suns, guardians of the Galaxy, star ocean the last hope, and thr ever present vampire Survivors and Binding of Isaac. I've been hopping games frequently recently.
I admire your ability to keep track of all that. I actively play FF14 to fill my MMO slot and then some other game that is my mainstay at the time. If I dare even touch another serious title, it tends to completely push out the prior one, so I have been really trying hard not to start another bigger game while I'm not done with the last one.
It's how I've been playing Yakuza 0 for the last entire year, coming back every half eternity. I really need to just sit down and play a title or take forever.
Ff14 is the reason my Backlog got as bad as it did. My plan was to quit after end walker but instead I never even finished the story and I hate myself for it cause I played since 1.0, but every time I go back I just keep thinking of every other game I could be playing instead and don't wind up playing more than an hour.
I am just barely at the start of Shadowbringer now and I've been playing for more than two years now. I personally really enjoy having an MMO to continuously play next to other games, but it definitely doesn't help with my backlog either, lol
