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 fantastic.

Last night I finally finished MGS The Twin Snakes, and soon about to be starting MGS2. Was pretty fun even if I had no idea what I was doing most of the time.

The Twin Snakes is excellent. I've not played 2/3 or 4 so kinda makes me what to go play them.

MGS3 is the best one in the series. They really nailed the MGS formula with that one.

I'm honestly not a big fan of Twin Snakes (I think the mechanics ported over from MGS2 broke a lot of the original design of MGS1, and I don't prefer the cutscenes over the original), but if you think it's excellent you absolutely should play 2 and 3 at least. MGS3 is a masterpiece.

Make sure to play the original version of MGS1 eventually. It's different enough (and arguably superior) to Twin Snakes to be worth a play.

I've tried it multiple times. I don't like it, it looks worse and controls are clunky

Have you played any of the series before? MGS2 and 3 are some of the best games ever made, IMO :) Twin Snakes is ok, but I much prefer the original.
