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.

Asked "sell me on your favorite game" to a group of friends, they said it made for a great discussion, so maybe copying it to here might make a nice discussion too.

Nah, I can't sell anyone on The Wonderful 101 😂 It's an insane game for mentally unwell people…

I guess if you like Saturday-morning cartoons and goofy action games with considerable combat depth, and are comfortable with motion inputs a la fighting games, pick it up on sale?

My blurb on the back of the cover would be: "You can air juggle alien kaiju in this one…"

If you were ever at any point into Super Sentai/Power Rangers, it should be a no-brainer to at least give it a shot; however, keep in mind this is THE Kamiya game… so if Devil May Cry 1 or Bayonetta annoyed you in any way, you'll probably find the same 10x in The Wonderful 101.

It's also the most video game-y video game that has ever video gamed. Wall-to-wall insanity, no chill.

I haven't played it, but I watched a Two Best Friends playthrough of that game when that came out, and the way it plays with scale is pretty fun as well.
