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.

Name a game game: "...and then it ends with you fighting A GOD." (lemmy.world)

Trope or not, gods just end up being a common target for games about heroes escalating in power while fighting increasingly world-destroying consequences.

So, for each post, name a game and describe it, with the assumption being that every description automatically ends with the phrase:

"...and then it ends with you fighting a god."

To some extent the majority of JRPGs fit into this trope. It's a long running joke that it isn't a JRPG if you don't end up fighting a god with the power of friendship.

In fact, there are particular reasons behind this that are influenced by Japanese culture and history.

This is exactly the kind of long form content I love watching. Thanks for sharing!
