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.

Playing through the entire Dragon Age series, then Pillars of Eternity and Sea of Stars.

Yakuza 3. Probably for the 3rd time as well because there was too much time since I played and lost track of the plot.

I am currently playing ORAS, BOTW and Rayman Legends, after finishing at least one of them I'll start with Metroid Zero Mission for once, to break that nightmare deal I did to myself of not playing more metroidvanias until I get to finish Super Metroid and SOTN!

Return to Moria has been really fun! Playing online with my buddy all day the last two days.

Pretty slow moving for a survival/crafting game, but we're both big Tolkien fans and the fan service is pretty great.

Boss fights have been quite interesting and when progression finally happens it feels really satisfying.

I've been playing Sonic Frontiers, which has been surprisingly fun. It has a similar vibe to what "Mario Odyssey" did for mario, the mixture of 3D, camera controlled, and 2D segments was done well in my opinion.

[–] Dutczar@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Personally, I actually gave it a negative review. The exploration generally is very fun, but so much of the levels, activities, combat ranged from unimpressive to infruriating. It's basically carried by just being open-world Sonic, which is a formula for success.

I actually enjoyed the open-world HUB of Shadow Generations, and the game as a whole, much more. In fact, that game probably set my expectations too high, even knowing Frontiers was infamously janky.

Elden Ring’s expansion! I failed the tree boss multiple times, with help.

Noe, Class of ‘09: the Re-Up!

[–] cod@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Good luck! I absolutely loved SotE

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

It’s so hard! I love it.

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Make sure that's the last class of 09 game you play. Do not. Play Flip side.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

Ahhhh I’m so sad to hear the third game isn’t good, especially after the hilarious short anime episode. I will still play it but my expectations are set hahaha

[–] Ashtear@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Just started Disgaea 1. For whatever reason I've bounced off this game half a dozen times since first trying it all the way back at release, but I've more or less settled into a groove with it now.

Having a good time with it, though I'm wondering if I should pick up a manual or something somewhere. Kind of obtuse systems and details I'd normally be able to get out of the UI, but not here.

Finally grabbed a copy of Sekiro, and though I’ve never been much of a fan of uncompromisingly punishing games, I’m optimistic that this will be the one that gets me there.

Haven’t started it yet, so it’s possible, if not likely that it’s going to kick my ass.

[–] minyakcurry@monyet.cc 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sekiro is awesome! I really hope you enjoy it. If you feel stuck, just watch fightincowboy's guides on youtube. It helps to view the fights from a calmer perspective -- it's better imo for learning patterns than throwing yourself over and over again at a boss.

[–] BertramDitore@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

Thanks! That’s good advice. Even in easier games I always have to stop and remind myself to chill and figure out the pattern. And whenever I do, it’s much more manageable and ultimately more fun.

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

Started Grim Dawn (ARPG) and Genesis Order (AVN, although I suppose that one is fairly recent).

[–] Monument@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I started playing No Man’s Sky again recently. My game from XBox didn’t transfer to Steam and I didn’t feel like trying to troubleshoot it, so I just started fresh. I’ll probably play that until my new character has unlocked everything.
I also picked up Stray and haven’t yet gotten into it much. I also recently bought Everspace, but haven’t even started the game yet. Soon, though.

[–] FippleStone@aussie.zone 2 points 1 week ago

I really liked Stray, short and sweet with an engaging narative and solid visual design. Simplistic gameplay, but it's satisfying enough to keep things moving.

[–] BartyDeCanter@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 week ago

I’m going to try getting back into RDR2, and start on Undertale and Prey. Maybe Shadowrun: Hong Kong and Fallout 4?

I spent a mostly uneventful morning sailing the high seas in Sea of Thieves. It was nice.

[–] ISOmorph@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago

I just started the thaumaturge and it's freaking awesome. Looking forward to Stalker 2 later this year after they patched it a bit more

[–] jeff@programming.dev 2 points 1 week ago

Psychonauts 2. I picked it up for 80% off during the autumn Steam sale and just getting around to playing it.

I also picked up It Takes Two and have been playing that with my wife.

[–] HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone 2 points 1 week ago

I'm gonna be booting up Pathologic 2 once my new computer comes in.

Finishing up Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom (not patient, I know), Hogwarts Legacy, and A Hat in Time.

After that, I'm excited to play some games I got in the Steam sale:

  • Bomb Rush Cyberfunk
  • Firewatch
  • South Park: The Stick of Truth

I'm going to try holding off buying more games this year to get through a bunch of games I have that I haven't played.

[–] Stormdancer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Continuing my replay of Red Dead Redemption 1, probably followed by 2. Probably going to finish my replay of Subnautica. Not sure what new games will slot in after that.

Replaying ranked Mario kart and seeing the meta evolve has been cool. There are so many yoshis now.

[–] polarpear11@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Hopped back into Octopath (the first one) after finishing Sea of Stars. It's a honker of a game haha I feel like it's going to take me a while.
