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.

Usually I’d be making this post from my main account, cod, but for some reason I’ve tried posting multiple times today and it hasn’t let me, it keeps giving me an error. So here we go! Weekly post from a different account this week. Hopefully next week I can go back to my main again.

Finished Hi-Fi Rush over the week. A fantastic, innovative, extremely charming game that lived up to every bit of hype I heard, and more. Made me even more mad over everything that happened to Tango Gameworks (and, frankly, the game industry for the past decade or so)

Hi-Fi Rush really is a nearly perfect game. Everything from the gameplay to the art style to the animation to the writing is just... *chef's kiss*

Made me even more mad over everything that happened to Tango Gameworks (and, frankly, the game industry for the past decade or so)

Fortunately for Tango Gameworks, they did find a buyer (Krafton) after Microsoft cut them loose, and they kept the IP and plan for more Hi-Fi Rush content.

Let's hope the new owners treat them better.

But I'm paying Microsoft if I buy it now, right? I wonder how Tango feel about that. Like, I wanna buy it, but I cannot justify giving money to Microsoft.

Yeah, Microsoft kept the publishing rights to the first game and Tango gets nothing if you buy it.

I don't know if they still do it, but Microsoft used to give a free month of Game Pass to entice new signups. If that offer's still open, you could grab it and play the game without giving them a cent.
