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.

Started playing MIO, which is a post-calamity robot on a spaceship themed metroidvania. The most impressive thing about it is the artstyle. Really strikingly beautiful.
Only a few hours in so far, but so far so good.
Not the most patient of gaming, but I don't blame you as it looks drop dead gorgeous! I was also enticed when I saw it release but as always with the genre I have to hesitate a bit since I both such at and don't particularly enjoy platforming and will easily get frustrated and not enjoy it if there is too much difficult precision platforming.
Will be interested to hear your thoughts on it regardless, I did still wishlist it purely because of the art.
Omg... i totally did not notice what community i was on... my bad. This is like the exact opposite of the point of this thread.
I think an exception is okay every now and then, I personally just like this community the most so I also broke the rules last year and talked about playing Blue Prince and E33 on release last year. Sometimes you can't actually wait to play a game, you know? I felt both of those merited it, especially Blue Prince as participating in the zeitgeist of that and being part of discovering the game at a point where the community hadn't even discovered all the secrets yet was amazing.
But yes, in general this is for the more patient kind of gaming.
