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.

Eternal made it really difficult to go back, everything feels so slow afterwards.

Idk if I just don't play enough newer games, but Doom 2016 felt so fast-paced to me

Eternal is a lot faster, once you get used to it the original will feel like a tutorial.

Éternal doesn't have the arcade mode though. That was such a blast. Also they complexified everything, which really broke my balls. Doom 2016 really was the peek.

I find DOOM 2016 too simple, even the 10 hour run time starts to drag when every single fight is just strafe and shoot.

I still think it's a great game but Eternal is on a whole other level.
