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.

Do you think the rest of your life is enough time to finish Star Citizen or do you like it as it is now?

Haha hard to say, I'd hope they finish it before I'm dead but there's no guarantee there. I think they've made a lot of good progress lately though, I'm hoping that trend continues.
