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.

If every video game was to be destroyed but you had the chance to save five games, what would you choose to save? (sh.itjust.works)

Assuming the equipment was also saved so you could still play the games, and every game in existence you don’t mention gets permanently destroyed, and no new games are ever to be made.

Inspired by a video by OutsideXbox from a few years ago, I thought it would be a fun idea to see what this community would choose. You can choose to be selfish and pick games you personally want to always play, or try to figure out what games would be best chosen for humanity to save for whatever reason. I’d also love to hear why you chose your games. Do they have a special meaning to you? I want to hear your stories.

how could I forget noita

Noita is great but damn that game makes me hate myself.

why!? I'm not sure that game makes me hate myself as much as it makes me hate the game - most of the time it's just bad luck when I die ... once I git gud it's like slowly accumulating power until I'm god, and then it's just so delightful and satisfying - that game is just so psychologically brilliant that way

A lot of my deaths come from accidentally exploding, electrifying, cremating, or goring myself. I love the game for it. A telltale sign of a well-designed game is when failure causes the player to blame themselves and not the game.

I feel this. I'm 300 deaths in. 140 hours. 0 wins.

99% of my deaths now are unavoidable stuff like a worm shooting out of the side of the screen right into me. But I still have never built a really good wand. Some chainsaw sparks, and a few bouncy machine guns. The youtube vids where a streamer builds an amazing wand by the third level just seems faked at this point.

Will I keep trying? Yup. Because I enjoy it? I don't know... I keep opening the damn thing.
