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.

Mine is the Army Men series. Objectively mediocre games at best but the concept of toy soldiers fighting over our yards and rooms has always been cool to me

Same here. And if they come out with another one I’ll grab it. Although I didn’t play 9 because of bad reviews.

But I did recently replay DW8 Empires yet again. Love it!

I picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms to read finally.

I recently started 9... and it's... Yeah It deserved most of the somewhat negative reviews, but it's still a DW game. I honestly think they should have called it something like Empires. As an open world game it's interesting and unique but it is a little too open for "DW". IT feels like a half step in the wrong direction but if they continued on and made "Dynasty Warriors 10 World" with that system and improved it, it could be something pretty unique. Just not as the main line series.

If you haven't read Romance of the Three Kingdoms you're in for a treat, I really enjoyed those books quite a bit, especially after being such a fan of the series. Getting more of the back story is great, and the characters are way more interesting.
