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.

Is there a game that you've been very patient for, which turned out to be dissappointing when you finally started playing it? (lemm.ee)

Personally there are a few games which left me very dissappointed, after hyping myself up for years in certain cases.

Divinity Original Sin: turns out I prefer more streamlined, less packed games (love Pillars of Eternity) and that coop play in a CRPG stresses me out.

Wasteland 2: I actually managed to finish this one but secretly I admit I was hoping for a better Fallout which I didn't really get. New Vegas did the cowboy theme much better.

INSIDE: while the design was cool, it was just a ton of boring, easy puzzles in comparison to LIMBO, its predecessor.

Can you confirm or deny this game rhymes with Bar Shield?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

i can in fact deny that one. would be neat tho, bethesda's only dropped one game in the last decade plus that i was wholly uninterested in (76).

Ah, yes! The very hyped new Garfield game! I can't wait to eat virtual lasagna and complain about Mondays.

Punting Odies, whacking spiders...

Also it wasn't until just now that I realized that Odie might be short for 'Odious' :p
