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.

Is there a game that you've been very patient for, which turned out to be dissappointing when you finally started playing it? (lemm.ee)

Personally there are a few games which left me very dissappointed, after hyping myself up for years in certain cases.

Divinity Original Sin: turns out I prefer more streamlined, less packed games (love Pillars of Eternity) and that coop play in a CRPG stresses me out.

Wasteland 2: I actually managed to finish this one but secretly I admit I was hoping for a better Fallout which I didn't really get. New Vegas did the cowboy theme much better.

INSIDE: while the design was cool, it was just a ton of boring, easy puzzles in comparison to LIMBO, its predecessor.

Halo. I picked up the collection in the summer steam sale for $10 and it was just ... boring. I guess that's to be expected for a 20+ year old game, the genre has innovated and improved a lot since then.

I felt this a bit too. I never played it back in the day so I was playing it fresh as each game released as part of the PC master collection. Playing Halo 1 without nostalgia googles is rough as that campaign has not aged well. It’s starts decent but then reusing the same levels made the second half a mediocre slog.

Yep, same here. I found it really strange when the running was much slower than other games too
