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.

What's the best game you played this year (that didn't come out this year)? (lemm.ee)

Since the normies are starting to do their GotY thing.

I think mine's Hardspace: Shipbreaker, although 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim continues to grow on me.

Bloodborne, Sifu or Hyper Light Drifter.

I don't really want to pick between the three, but I'll go with Sifu, because it's got a little of that super tough, Fromsoftiness built in.

Runs like a dream on my Steamdeck too, and has some genuinely really impressive moments of beauty that I wasn't expecting from a super-hard-beat-people-up-with-a-pipe game.

I opened up Bloodborne again a few weeks ago. Performance isn't good, but it's a lot less miserable than the time I played before that. I definitely like the mechanic of dual mode weapons. The chain-cane is pretty fun to approach enemies with.

I wish it was on PC for steam deck though. I'm not in front of the console as much.

Same. I ended up playing it on my partner's PS5, and it ran well enough (30FPS be damned). Put that on my Steamdeck though, please.

Last time I tried it was a slide show. I never got past the first area because it was just such a choppy piece of shit, on the original PS4 and with/without boost on the pro. So not that is a big step forward.

But it's still stuck to a TV or bad streaming and I don't really want either.

Edit: finally pulled the trigger on a PS5, killed the boss I'd been stuck on on the actual first try running it on there. So maybe performance was still an issue.
