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.

If you could only play 10 games for the rest of your life, which would you choose? (sh.itjust.works)

Related to a post I made last year, but a little different because (1) you get to choose 10 now instead of 5, and (2) other games don’t get deleted, you just aren’t able to play them, so you don’t need to think about the good of humanity or anything, purely just selfish picks because it only impacts you.

A couple notes:

Any equipment necessary to play the games, you’re obviously allowed to have
You can play any DLC for the games you choose
You’re not allowed to make any games for you to play. If you make video games, either as a career or hobby, only other people are allowed to play them
Mods are allowed, but you’re not allowed to make any for you to play. You can try to commission someone else to make them for you, though
If there was historically a trilogy, for example, that now is sold on a major storefront (Steam, Xbox, PlayStation) as a single game (such as Mass Effect or Hitman) that counts as one game now. Game bundles, though, do not count. Basically, if it’s in one entry in your steam/xbox/ps library, it’s one game

I’m interested to see what this community chooses, and hopefully it’s different enough from my old post to warrant some good discussion here.

GTA V - when my wife and I first got a place together, we used to play this game together (pass the controller back and forth) after work every night. We still occasionally pull it out to play together, and I wouldn’t want to put a stop to that

You inspired me to see if my partner would want to share playing GTA 6 in this way. That sounds fun! Thanks :)

There’s lots of fun stupid stuff you can do, at least in 5. Obviously I can’t comment on 6.

Set a countdown timer and you have to switch right at the timer, then right before the timer goes off drive off a cliff or jump out of a helicopter and the other person has to try and survive. Basically death swap
Try to steal a tank or fighter jet from a military base and switch after every death
One person exclusively controls the left half of the controller, one person exclusively controls the right half of the controller, try to complete a mission or a custom objective
Start a timer and see who can get a five star wanted level the fastest

Basically do stupid shit and don’t take it seriously. Extra points if you both suck at the game.

Yeah my wife enjoyed watching me play the GTA v campaign and we played a bit of online together for a while but the used GPU on her PC would always start to crash out
