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.

Been playing the new Quake episode - Dawn of the Machine.
It’s very ambitious. Makes changes to enemies, weapons, and even the fundamental gameplay.
I don’t dislike it, it’s just an unsettling new take on what’s normally a comfortably familiar game for me.
I'm enjoying it. I liked the little glitch at the beginning where the environment suddenly changes, which took me by surprise. It's harder in some bits, but not overwhelming.
Yeah, it’s a good challenge and the dimension-hopping is neat. I typically play on hard and so far it’s put up a decent fight without being cheap or frustrating, which is more than I can say for some of the original expansions.
