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.

Pretty much, I'm looking for a game where I'm not the hero, I'm not the protagonist, I'm just a pawn in the big picture.

Preferably a game with a big open world too, one that feels real and isn't just a predetermined path for my player.

I also like games where you aren't clearly stronger than all your opponents like you're some sort of God so they actually feel intimidating and there is a fear of dying

All suggestions are welcome

Thanks :>

Came in to say Elite as well. Unfortunately I personally find the gameplay to be way too grindy and uninteresting to "progress". But in a way progress is somewhat irrelevant in Elite. I found a carrier hosting a tour of the galaxy and had an amazing time in my crappy little ship just looking at things. Few games do scale better then Elite.
