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.

Is there a game that you've been very patient for, which turned out to be dissappointing when you finally started playing it? (lemm.ee)

Personally there are a few games which left me very dissappointed, after hyping myself up for years in certain cases.

Divinity Original Sin: turns out I prefer more streamlined, less packed games (love Pillars of Eternity) and that coop play in a CRPG stresses me out.

Wasteland 2: I actually managed to finish this one but secretly I admit I was hoping for a better Fallout which I didn't really get. New Vegas did the cowboy theme much better.

INSIDE: while the design was cool, it was just a ton of boring, easy puzzles in comparison to LIMBO, its predecessor.

More unsolicited advice. Consider an easy mode mod (if you have it for PC). There's a few good ones that rebalance it to be a "normal" dodge-and-hit action game instead of a full on soulsborne. I also like a "keep runes on death" mod to take away that terror of actually leaving your little stomping grounds and exploring the beautiful world.

The game is so much more fun when it isn't forcing "play it this way" down your throat.

Thank you for the advice, but my 9 year old son has now marked the computer as his territory and I'm now exiled to the Playstation.

Fair enough. There's always Persona 5. It's a lot less headache inducing.
