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've been playing a lot of inscryption and while kaycee's mod is fun, it can get a little boring after a while. Is there anything that will scratch that itch? (that's not magic the gathering, too predatory).

Edit: Just bought slay the spire and it is really fun so far. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.

HARD agree with you.

Indie games are completely different to me than big name titles. I have zero issues picking up an indie game on day 1-2 if it’s rated well. I’ll even PREORDER and/or donate if it’s a dev that I love (lookin at you, Mullins, you fukkin genius…)

AA/AAA games, I will almost NEVER buy in the first year. I do kinda regret not snagging Elden Ring earlier, but a year later at 30USD it was a steal.

Cyberpunk I still hafta start but apparently now is the best time to play it! Very happy I didn’t get that on launch.

Returnal is the last game I caved at launch (on the computer). Full Dualsense triggers and haptic support, ran incredibly on day one, and I got a 10USD discount from launch price (which was 60 to begin with, fuck a 70 money price)

CP2077 had a great little patient trick. I took a gamble, bought it on clearance for $17 during the whole "this game will never be playable" phase. I let it age like a fine wine, and cracked it open 3 months later when the price was back to full and people were enjoying it.
