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,

Finally picked it up on this sale with Phantom Liberty.

Played about an hour so far, seems OK, have to get my Steam Controller setup properly for it still.

I've finally been playing through Mad Professor Mariarti on the Amiga. I saw it played many times as a child but now I'm finally playing it myself - and beating it!

I have sunk so much time into Voices of the Void it's honestly crazy

I started and finished The Case of the Golden Idol. Good stuff. Playing the sequel now.

Fallout New Vegas! I'm really enjoying all the characters that I have met so far, but I'm starting to realize that villifying factions right from the start isn't the best idea when trying to get to new places

Yo, I started FNV for my first time this week! A friend of mine is always raving about it, so he sent me instructions to get it all modded out (Viva New Vegas modlist), so I did that and I'm off to the races. So far so good... it was a bit of a grind to get past the first couple of quests (I kept getting my ass handed to me), but now that I've killed some convicts and stolen their stuff, I'm in much better shape. Also I figured out I can sleep in beds that aren't red.

I also heard that about not getting involved with factions yet...

I’m playing Minecraft on the Wii U with my daughter… and since the eShop closed a while ago, I didn’t have any issues unlocking all skins and DLCs by…. Alternative means 😅

I like the style of the Mass Effect texture pack, and it’s fun exploring the included map.

MGS Ghost Babel! Obviously a little primitive because it's a GBC game but the plot's pretty exciting and holds up even today

I have been playing Stardew Valley because the real world sucks and everybody can piss off 😠

I’ve been playing Silent Storm a 2004 strategy RPG that is a total hidden gem. A little primitive but it feels a bit like the battle system from BG 3 with guns.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Silent Storm was a fun turn-based tactics game! Not as polished as something like the Firaxis xcoms, but more complete than a lot of other non-fantasy tactics games I've tried.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 22 minutes ago

Sounds like I should try XCom. I bought every Humble Bundle for a couple years from it’s inception and I have 800+ games in my Steam library. I just played Silent Storm randomly and blind and was surprised.

I finally picked up Balatro on Android. Wow, I'm hooked.

Halo: Combat Evolved. I get what all the hype was about. This is a good game!

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Playing through Hades 1. I never got out of Hades until this time around, and I'm having fun grinding to complete some of the fated choices and lounge renovations.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Have fun, in my opinion it only gets better as you go

Heh, Stardew Valley here. I slept on it for years, until I found that it's available on the Google Play Store lol.

Works really well on mobile!!

Half Life: Opposing Force

Never played it before and the movement feels a lot faster than modern games. Its a good and fun game.

Half Life 2. They gave it to me for free.

Finished it and got Necromunda: Hired Gun for $13.
