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.

Final Fantasy XVI :/ combat was fun but the RPG elements were pretty bad tbh
I've been a huge fan of the series for over 30 years at this point. I just wish the last twenty years were as good at the first ten.
I waited to buy every entry after FF10, and everytime (with the exception of XIV 2.0) I've been disappointed.
I really feel let down by XVI. None of the trailers made me excited, everytime they showed the gameplay I was betrayed, and when I played the demo I was bored.
All of the post-release feedback was so positive though, so I ended up buying it 2 weeks after it came out.
I still haven't finished my, despite having it for almost 6 weeks. It's just so bad. I was able to push myself through XV and I actually enjoyed the XIII trilogy, but this just feels like some Final Fantasy flavored (barely), easy to the point of inducing sleep, action game.
