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.

How long have you waited to get it? Was it worth it?

Secret of Mana 2, when I was a kid in the 90'. I knew back then it was released in Japan, and I was waiting for it in Europe. … and it never happened. πŸ˜‚ I think I've seen they finally translated it recently, as a retrogame, but hey, my tastes and priorities changed a bit in 30 years.

My dad commented that One Man And His Droid was supposed to be good, when we were in a shop (Woolworths?) looking at games. Mid-late 1980s. I finally played it a couple of years ago.

I think it was, yes!

Duke Nukem Forever. And no it wasn’t.

Same. What a dumpster fire of a release.

Pretty sure it'll be the latest God of war when it finally releases for PC somewhere next year?

Persona 5 on PC. Fuck Sony and their exclusive policy.

[–] MyOtherCarIsEpona@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is there evidence to suggest that Sony was responsible for Persona 5 being exclusive for so long, and not Atlus's usual confusing nonsense? Honest question.

I know that when Xbox decided to consider PC as part of the "Xbox ecosystem" it lit the fire under Sony's butt to start porting some of their banger titles onto Steam, which is much appreciated. Days Gone, God of War, Uncharted 4, Spiderman, and Returnal were all fantastic on day one. Horizon needed some time to fix the issues but the PC version now does it justice way better than the original 30fps version.

A couple of games I've been looking at for a while like The End is Nigh and 20XX ended up being free on Epic, they were great games and definitely worth playing if you picked them up for free. Glad I didn't have to buy them.

I finally completed fallout 1/2/tactics at the end of last year.

I'm looking forward to playing baldurs gate, planetscape and arcanum soon.

Spiderman 2 for the PS2. I used to watch the updates, disseminating every screenshot. When the game came out, I thought it was okay. It was only months later when I realised that I was still playing it that I realised how perfect it was.

Uru. I spent hours wandering the halls of D'ni waiting for something to happen.

Mega drive version of Theme Park.

I saw it getting closer in the release section of gaming magazines, closer.. then delayed.. closer.. delayed.. then I finally got it and the cartridge casing was deformed and wouldn't fit in the console.

My mum had to brute force it because I was losing my shit.

Metroid prime 4.. it’s been far too long

[–] TotallyNotSpez@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

As an oldschool GM for the Cyberpunk 2022 P&P Roleplaying game I was immediately hooked when CD Projekt Red announced the video game of Cyberpunk 2077. Despite the initial bugs, I enjoyed it. A lot. Probably the only game so far for which I got all achievements. Now patiently waiting for the Phantom Liberty DLC.

Hellooooo Night City!

[–] Flag@kbin.social -1 points 1 year ago

For shit that isnt out:

  • Star Citizen... one of these days man :| yes i have an unrelated copium subscription @_
  • Command & Conquer 4. C&C3 was/is great, so it makes sense to get C&C4 eventually.
