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.

I started this year off with NIER (Ps3 Version). I've been thoroughly enjoying it thus far. I'll likely do several runs to get the 4 endings and full lore. Can't wait to sink my teeth into NieR Automata afterwards!

I got Caves of Qud on sale over at itch.io, and have been struggling to get anywhere. The learning curve is steep, so when it gets too much I go back to my Dwarf Fortress game that I started over Christmas.

Some ESO, some Counter-Strike in the usual amounts, however I just bought GTA IV and want to finally play the story instead of just ducking around with RPGs and "the swing" 😁

I’ve never actually finished GTA IV before, though I have messed around in it a fair bit. It’s a great game

Just found out you need to read half a book of terms to create a Rockstar Acc and need that to play the game. Refund worked tho ^^. Will probably just crack it next month.

Oh that sucks, I’ve only ever played it on the 360 on a disc without internet connection.

I'm still playing Warband

Still busy with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 since it launched and got dragged into Helldivers 2 by the friends.

My friends and I are doing Dungeons of Eternity this month. We've had three on at once but tomorrow is the first time all four of us will be on together. Excited!

Skyrim.

My goal is to play through the entire series this year.

Metal Gear Rising : Revengeance

I watched a few playthroughs earlier this year, and was struck by the games' vibes. Maybe I've become jaded, maybe 2013 was just a different time, but the over-the-top-bombastic, gratuitous-yet-totally-sincere meditation on power, violence, and humanity feels incredibly relevant, not to mention a breath of fresh air compared to the games I see coming out today.

It's also very similar to the type of video game I'd like to make someday, so it counts as homework as well!

Not to mention it feels like half of the media/art that I love from the past 10 years has been heavily influenced by this game, so playing it could give me a fuller appreciation for them.

That’s awesome. I hope you enjoy it

I'm gonna be booting up Pathologic 2 once my new computer comes in.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

Finishing up Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom (not patient, I know), Hogwarts Legacy, and A Hat in Time.

After that, I'm excited to play some games I got in the Steam sale:

  • Bomb Rush Cyberfunk
  • Firewatch
  • South Park: The Stick of Truth

I'm going to try holding off buying more games this year to get through a bunch of games I have that I haven't played.

Dune Imperium: Uprising. Gotten my whole group into it. Might organise a tournament for the heck of it.

Replaying ranked Mario kart and seeing the meta evolve has been cool. There are so many yoshis now.
