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’ve got 50% completion on Marvel’s Spider-Man. The swinging mechanic and combat are great and never wear out their welcome. What gets old is the unending cycle of finishing two missions then running into someone who starts yet another collect-athon with, “Help me find my lost pigeons strewn about the city,” or “Fight five groups of enemies in each New York neighborhood”.

I just hope they haven't abandoned it completely. But it would be nice to hear from the mods about the issue you raised. Would be a pity to lose such an active community.

As for games, I started Earthbound, finally

The most active one hasn't been around for a month, so I'm a bit worried they might be gone.

But that's not an issue per se, someone else can take over

Like the old super nintendo rpg featuring Ness? Gosh why the rush? Seriously tho that's a neat one. I played not many years ago for the first time. It's wild seeing so much of what I love in games so old. Even if we owned a super Nintendo back when and I logged absurd hours....

Super Mario RPG was major for me, I got it because it said Mario. Hated it for the first few nights, loved it for years. Equally realized rpg was a genre of games.

I was playing AC Valhalla and Jedi Survivor, but then my game pass expired and I didn't like the games enough to renew it. So now I'm back to Red Dead Redemption 2.

I've recently become addicted to realm of the mad god

I've been playing Metroid Prime 3 and largely enjoying it. The most recent boss fight was incredibly fun and refreshing, easily the best in the game and high in the rankings for best boss fight period.

I've been playing QuakeWorld for a few months, and I started playing EverQuest on Project Quarm. Been kinda wild playing EQ to see how the MMO genre has evolved over time. Only level like 8 or 9, but it's been fun.

I've been having trouble focusing on a game and finishing it, but I've recently played God of War (2018) which was quite disappointing, and last week I've played Trails in the Sky which I enjoyed, except for

::: spoiler the incest, which was a bit weird :::

I've also been playing the original FFVII .

I recently finished Mass Effect Legendary, a very nice experience. I’m now starting Andromeda and so far I’m enjoying it a lot. The game is gorgeous! Its flaws may start showing later, but for now it’s great - and it’s not like the other ME games don’t have flaws.

Got roped back into Tarkov because of the PvE mode. (I got the EoD edition on sale a while ago)

Picked up MW5 Mercenaries the other day and liked it so much I picked up all thr DLCs for it too. Not sure that was the best move as a few early mechs have some annoyingly powerful equipment

I'm playing thronefall.

Difficult but super fun. Only made it past level 3. A bit too preoccupied to play further.

Also playing on a steam deck!
