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.

Red dead 2, persona 5/royal, sekiro, Elden ring, Stardew, Skyrim, tekken 7 and 8, botw and totk, animal crossing games in general going back to the gamecube one. Sank a lot of hours into taiko no tatsujin too
That also makes me think of all the games that didn’t track playtime or where my saves are long gone. Like really that’s just modern era stuff. The snes and psx final fantasy games, chrono trigger, secret of mana, earthbound, parasite eve, etc are all fairly long and I’ve played through them multiple times. Then there’s games like streets of rage and sonic 2 that aren’t terribly long but i played them to death. Oh and stuff like street fighter 2 and tekken, mario 64, so many hours of my youth that I probably should’ve been studying
I kind of forgot about untracked hours from many years ago. Probably a lot of Pokémon games would count here for me too
oh my god Pokémon! For sure. This is just making me think of more: the games from when i was really young, like leisure suit Larry, police quest, day of the tentacle, sam and max, the dig, grim fandango, that are ultimately like 1-2 hours if you know what to do but in the absence of a walkthrough take like 600 hours of trial and error with endless save hopping
Those old adventure games used to be punishingly difficult
