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.

C&C: Tiberian Sun. Damn, that game still looks great.

Me too! So stoked to be playing it again.

One tip for the final Nod mission I would have wanted to know before playing it - the game tells you that you have time until the GDI station makes three orbits and then gives you an hour timer. I was running out of time and made a despearate push for the final objective with just seconds remaining and then... another hour timer started. You have 3 hours to beat that map, I thought it was just the one =/

It's the finale where you have all the toys and get to play with the enemy in any way you want. Don't make the same mistake as me and rush through it, you can take your time.

Oh wow, thank you for the tip! Knowing that will make my playthrough more enjoyable ♥️

I got Far Cry 5 for like $7.50 on sale and have been playing it with a friend, and it's actually been pretty fun, mostly driving around blowing stuff up with a rocket launcher.

I also got Doom Eternal, which has been more interesting than I expected; I thought it would be mostly just hold-left-click kind of gameplay, but you actually really need to think about managing ammo and positioning and cooldowns and tons of stuff like that. I feel really bad at it but it's been lots of fun.

Zenless Zone Zero. Can't stop playing it. Combats fun. Story is pretty good.

I completed Broforce, and it took me 13 hours. It’s a funny and gory game.

I am playing Doom Eternal. It’s a gory and cruel, raging game. The atmosphere is really vivid and cool, the hell scenes and the Cthulhu art are amazing. Masterpiece!

I’m also playing Retrowave as a BGM player. It’s a purely casual and relaxing mini game, and it creates an '80s retro atmosphere. I like it and I really love the synthwave genre.

I’m still playing Cyberpunk 2077, just drive my motorcycle and explore casually. I think everyone knows everything about this game. So I won’t introduce it.

I've been playing Forza horizon 4, Euro Truck Sim 2, and ESO. And a little Switch emulation.

Picked up elden ring on sale three weeks ago, and already have 90 hourd in it, and I'm on my second run. First was a strength build, and now a dex/arcane bleed build!

There was a sorcerer build in between those two, but it trivialised my favourite part of the game so I stopped it

The first one is Space Warlord Organ Trading Similator. It's a simple game of trading, well, organs, but it has good soundtrack, nice visuals and different storylines that you reveal through doing quests and accepting/declining incoming transmissions. The game sessions could be really short, so the game is very fitting when you don't know where to spend 10 minutes of your time.

The other one I've been playing is Fallout 2. Super good. It has its bad sides and certainly has a feel of an old game, but if you're an RPG genre fan, definitely give it a try. Although, it requires some level of effort to play it, you can't just load and start mindlessly doing radiant or other simple quests like in Fallout 4, which is a downer for me when I'm tired after work and want to zone out for an hour or two.

I played Fallout 2 again last year whilst I was on a few weeks break from work. I was hoping to capture the magic of the summer of 98/99 when I spent my entire school holiday playing it.

We’ll that doesn’t really work when a toddler and pregnant partner need you all the time... but still super fun and it was to nice revisit and bring back those memories.

Oh god. I can imagine that was quite an experience worthy of the best RPG games 😅

I haven't played this week, but I've been playing Crusader Kings 3 for a few weeks now, and it's really cool.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I got very high with a couple of friends and we played the party mode of flatout ultimate edition.

When alone with my daughter, we tend to play Goat Simulator 3. When completely alone I play some Bro Force or Binding of Isaac.

I've mostly just been watching videos of things like fireworks instead recently.
