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.

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.

Monster Hunter Rise. I've been a big MH fan since Tri and have hundreds of hours in each one since then, but for whatever reason, when Rise was announced and came out I just wasn't really excited for them. Partner and I picked it up over winter sale for an all time low thinking, ah at least we won't be too disappointed at this price. Got just as sucked in as previous MHs and am approaching 100 hours right now, lol.

The bitter vets always whine about the newest MH but it ends up being just as good. Not to say there aren't valid complaints (clutch claw wall ramming is too easy, MH3U underwater hunts felt pretty rough, etc) but I've been around since Freedom Unite and I always have a good time.

I will specifically note that Hunting Horn is so much nicer in Rise, wow.

Heh, funny you should say that. My partner plays HH and doesn't love how much they simplified it in Rise, but she's still enjoying it overall.
