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.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2. Terrible game honestly

  • Slow Walk down corridor

  • Fight 2 copies of the same sprite, once you kill one, another appears, button mash till they stop showing up
  • Skip Cutscene
  • Skip Cutscene
  • Use Random New Ability once and only once

It plays more like a visual novel than the kind of games I typically like.

Some games try too hard to be cinematic, but they don’t understand what cinematic actually means.

Fantasy Life 3DS is a great game but I have to skip most of the dialogue because they are unbearably long and boring.

Fantasy Life i seems to be better.
