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.

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.

I agree with you. I bought the entire Halo collection on sale. Played it for a while but it got extremely boring after a while. Haven't I cleared this room before? Guess not. Let's see where this leads... oh, another room just like the others. Screw this, I'll spend my time on Half-Life 2 instead.

Also, finally got Quake 4 (free on Amazon Prime Gaming) and it feels a lot like Halo. I prefer the newly launched Quake 2, thank you very much.
