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.

For me it's Chrono Trigger. I always want to play it. I want to show it to my children. I hope it will be regarded as a masterpiece for generations to come.

Agree on Lords of the Realm 2! Just something about it.

Yup, I just replayed the campaign last weekend.

If I ever make a game, it'll be a LotR2 remake. I have some ideas I'd like to play with these take it in a completely different direction from Total War games, such as:

  • play as the merchant
  • play as a general in the battles, while someone else handles empire management
  • play as a mercenary band

All of these could play together in MP, and each has a separate win condition.

But every time I get excited about building it, I replay the game and it scratches that itch.
