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 started a playthrough of System Shock 2 last week....... But it just made me want to go play Prey instead, so that's what I'm doing now. I absolutely love how much interactivity exists in the world, I've been using the nerf gun to unlock doors way more than in my first playthrough. I also love the concept of a mega-dungeon game like how System Shock 1 & Prey do it.
For some reason System Shock 2 was just not working for me, whenever I had a new idea about how to approach a situation, I kept being prevented from it because I didn't invest in a specific skill or perk 3 hours ago. Whereas in Prey I always feel like I have some way to solve a problem without relying on the skill tree
I'm hoping my chronic inability to work through my backlog means SS2 will have a full Nightdive remake by the time I get to it.
Completely unrelated to my backlog: I hope I'll get to Prey soon...
