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.

I just did the same thing myself. Played Burnout 3 until Trails released.
It is crazy how well Burnout holds up over 20 years later.
Hah, what are the odds!
Agreed, it has held up exceptionally well. I never played it when it was newer, but I'm also not well-versed in the genre (outside of Mario Kart and some F-Zero). I guess maybe since it released later in the PS2 gen, the modern design patterns were already falling into place. Or maybe it's just really well made.
