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.

When will people learn? Seriously. They keep touching fire and act equally surprised every time they get burned.

No Man's Sky. (Great now but holy hell was it a shit show)

Cyberpunk

Diablo IV

Far Cry 6

StarField

And now this latest Assasins Creed: Mirage.

Probably forgetting plenty of recent releases too that just faded into nothingness.

Personally, I'll be starting Batman Arkham Asylum this weekend. Heard it was pretty good. Should keep me busy for a while.

Reviewers won't give anything below a 70% and marketing material is just that. Also, it rubs me the wrong way when a game's first section is full of scripted stuff specifically to "trick" reviewers, who invariably go "WOW look at the scenic shot here!" As long as it keeps working they're going to keep doing it. Bad ratings and record sales, why would they change?

There's no such thing as reviewers for video games. Anyone actually critical gets blacklisted quickly. It's just more marketing at this point.

Reviewers have always considered themselves and been considered part of the games industry. With a few rare exceptions they’re a glorified marketing wing.

I find him too emotional. Nakey is a better "joke" response.
