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.

Hearing that Civ 7 is going to have Steam Deck support is tempting me.

I generally call myself a patient gamer for most titles.. but the monster hunter series is not one of them. Those games release in good shape, fully formed titles that don't really need to wait on.. I guess generally I'm patient when I feel the product doesn't match the price, but in this case, I feel it absolutely does. If there is DLC, it's either really silly cosmetic things, or a full fledged expansion on the content by at least 2x.

I’ve been playing MH for almost two decades… it’s the one game I buy immediately when new games come out. I KNOW they’re going to be good and they have always been stellar.

Pokémon used to be the only other series I bought on launch day, but that stopped after Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. ScarVio was a garbage and I’m very happy I didn’t waste money on that.
