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.

I never tried it before because I thought the RPG part would be dumb. But it's surprisingly fun and has the great Meretzky humor.
it's even on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1104470/Super_Hero_League_of_Hoboken/
EDIT: GOG version is probably superior: https://www.gog.com/en/game/superhero_league_of_hoboken
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.
Dont know yet, but a very stressful period is done at the end of this week and i have some vacation after so from next week i will find an old gem and play the heck out of it
I started and finished The Case of the Golden Idol. Good stuff. Playing the sequel now.
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!
Heat Signature is really fun haha
I have sunk so much time into Voices of the Void it's honestly crazy
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 have been playing Stardew Valley because the real world sucks and everybody can piss off 😠
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.
Halo: Combat Evolved. I get what all the hype was about. This is a good game!
I experienced the whole original trilogy last year with a friend on coop. I get it now. Why so many people love Halo.
Btw, Halo 2 and 3 are much better than the first one. If you already liked that, you're in for a treat.
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.
Half Life: Opposing Force
Never played it before and the movement feels a lot faster than modern games. Its a good and fun game.
Yeah growing up with that and quake 2 modern games always feels like im running in quicksand or my controls are broken.
This is why I cannot abide the Halo series. I came to them having been raised on Quake, Unreal Tournament, and Half-Life. Halo was like moving through molasses.
Yeah I was excited for halo when it was previewed as a PC game first then MS took it for Xbox never got into it
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!!
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.
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.
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.
Factorio, checking out Space Age. Discovered that Cliff Explosives are moved further down the tech tree...
MGS Ghost Babel! Obviously a little primitive because it's a GBC game but the plot's pretty exciting and holds up even today
Half Life 2. They gave it to me for free.
Finished it and got Necromunda: Hired Gun for $13.
I finally picked up Balatro on Android. Wow, I'm hooked.
goty, this gsme got addictive too damn fast
Got back into Slay the Spire on a whim. Nice little turn based card thingy, with beautiful art, and fun synergies.
Started playing Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice this week. I may or may not have bought it because I got it mixed up with Ghost of Tsushima, so the fact that it's essentially Bloodborne but in Japan caught me a bit off guard, but it's not bad. There's been three separate times now where I've gotten stuck on a boss, closed the game thinking "I hate soulslike games, this was a waste of money," and then beat the boss on my first try the next day.
It seems like they took into account the fact that you can't summon friends when they tuned the difficulty. It's not easy by a longshot, but it's not as impossible as other Fromsoft games.
The posture gauge is my favorite game mechanic. Having both defense and offense move the fight along makes it so much less of a slog than other soulslikes. Normally I just dart around the battlefield getting one light attack in every 30 seconds, but this game has me standing right next to the boss, actively rewarding me for memorizing telegraphs and attack patterns. It's super satisfying.
ETA: I almost forgot another good thing about this game! You don't level up individual stats one at a time! Some see this lower level of customization as a drawback, but I see it as an improvement. You'll never get to the end of the game and hit an insurmountable roadblock because you levelled up stamina too much. You can get every skill and use every tool. Boss fights become a matter of mutable equipment loadouts instead of irreversible level choices.
Gave Warframe a shot again, game is still shit, but I am still having fun, so we'll see how long that lasts.
I've been replaying Pillars of Eternity II - in fact I have the tavern music stuck in my head right now. Mostly I just need some CRPG gameplay, so I'm not doing anything wildly different with my character this time around. Maybe I should do an evil run...
Knowing how the ending works, I'm still not sure which faction to go with.
