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.

Mine is the Army Men series. Objectively mediocre games at best but the concept of toy soldiers fighting over our yards and rooms has always been cool to me

As someone who invested an embarrassing amount of time into each mainline game since 3, 9 was awful. I think there may have been a decent (musou) game under there, but even several years and patches later it's rough. The battlefields are empty. The traversal is buggy. The upgrade system is grindy in the least fun way. I don't want to mine metal in a DW game...

The best musou games in the last 5-10 years have been spinoffs like Hyrule and Fire Emblem. I don't have much faith in Koei Tecmo releasing a DW game that captures the essence of 3-5 in a modern way.
