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'm still waiting for Elden Ring to go on sale for $20 but might end up settling for $30.

I picked up the RE remakes this summer sale that were -75%. I’m a pirate at heart but pirating on the Steam Deck is annoying so I’m willing to buy video games (talk about GabeN being correct once again that piracy is a service issue) for it. I’ll wait until the RE4 remake is -75% and then buy it as well, likely the next summer sale.

RE4 remake is absolutely fantastic and put to shame a lot of modern action games.

i need to look into those. it’ll be my first play through and the remakes might be a good way to do that

The RE 1 remake is quite good as well, still, despite being originally made for Gamecube. The pre-rendered backgrounds on Gamecube era hardware led to graphics that still hold up today. That said, the controls are much more old school, so maybe save it for after you've beaten 2 and 3
