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.

It has been a while since the last one. So...

Tell us what game you are currently, or recently played, greater than 6+ months old.

If the game happens to be on sale, a link would be a plus.

Played and beat Final Fantasy 8 for the first time. Bit of an unpopular opinion, but I enjoyed everything about it more than FF7 (which i also played for the first time a few months ago). As a long time JRPG player, the mechanics were really interesting and fresh. I liked the majority of characters more as well. Maybe it's just the fact that I'm coming to these games 20+ years later and don't have the nostalgia for them - I'm not sure. I can definitely see why people loved FF7, though I'm not one of them.

I'd love anybodies thoughts on this and their opinions on the two games!

As a kid I played ff8 so much. Truly love that game. While ff7 never really grabbed me.
