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.

When will people learn? Seriously. They keep touching fire and act equally surprised every time they get burned.

No Man's Sky. (Great now but holy hell was it a shit show)

Cyberpunk

Diablo IV

Far Cry 6

StarField

And now this latest Assasins Creed: Mirage.

Probably forgetting plenty of recent releases too that just faded into nothingness.

Personally, I'll be starting Batman Arkham Asylum this weekend. Heard it was pretty good. Should keep me busy for a while.

Gamers who preorder non-physical games need a legitimate intervention

I did it ONCE and got burned so bad I've never even considered it ever again. Just Cause 4. So bad, it's not even on the lists of biggest letdowns. A letdown of letdowns.

But ... but... collector and exclusive content!

Reviewers won't give anything below a 70% and marketing material is just that. Also, it rubs me the wrong way when a game's first section is full of scripted stuff specifically to "trick" reviewers, who invariably go "WOW look at the scenic shot here!" As long as it keeps working they're going to keep doing it. Bad ratings and record sales, why would they change?

At this point I really only watch ACG, he seems the most honest out of them all.

Seems like most reviews are afraid to say bad stuff about a game until the general consensus has turned against it.

They make money from this, and I think many feel they'll be locked out of getting review copies if they don't "play ball" with these companies.

There's no such thing as reviewers for video games. Anyone actually critical gets blacklisted quickly. It's just more marketing at this point.

Is there anything non-indie that's released in the last 2-3 years and hasn't been an absolute shit show on launch?
