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.

Not that old, but I've been playing some Far Cry 5 recently since it went on decent sale for 14 bucks on steam and I was bored.

I remember being amazed at how good far cry 3 had been all those years ago, and I know that pretty much every far cry since has been a similar game with a different skin and some updated mechanics.

The whole "home grown USA cult" does hit a bit more interesting these days, but I honestly keep finding myself shaking my head because it feels like reality is somehow more ridiculous than this far cry game in that essence.

Game is fine, I am enjoying doing the same shooting over and over as a little mental break . I feel like this game is a real missed opportunity not having a set, voiced protagonist. Choosing your blank, voiceless murder machine makes every cutscene awkward because everyone is just talking at you instead of having actual dialogue or growth.
