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.

Never played Doom 2016 but I've heard it's very good.

Picked up lords of the fallen and it's been scratching that souls-like itch I've had since I finished elden ring.

Too poor to be in this community

[–] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

I feel that. I’ve missed the last couple sales and will probably sit this one out too.

I bought operation Tango. Insanely fun co op game! Enjoyed it very much. Just wished it had a longer story

Picked up Eastern Exorcist. Got it for free for Android from epic but no gamepad support. So now I buy the Steam version for gamepad support. Solid game

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 1 points 3 hours ago

Got it for free too on Epic and was super surprised by it. Solid game indeed.

Vein. Bought a full copy today, been playing their free demo version. Still in development, but potentially a great game for people who enjoy crafting survival. You explore and scavenge for components you need to build supplies to survive. Everything can be broken down with the right tools. It's not a fast-pace bloody hack and slash game, but more focused on building, occasionally dealing with zombies that want to eat your brains.

Can you play with friends?

[–] EchoCranium@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 minutes ago

Have not tried it, but there are supposed to be multiplayer options. Not sure how well it works, sounds like there are plans to fix bugs (whatever they may be) in the near future.

It's like a first person Project Zomboid. Lots of potential

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Just added the demo to my library, thanks for the recs

My plan to work on my backlog this fall has utterly failed. Instead I've not been playing any games at all for the past month and a half, instead just working on a mod for STALKER Anomaly. Consequently I know in my heart of hearts that the right thing to do is not spend any money this sale. However, I am still looking at:

Tails of Iron (-92%)

The Banner Saga (-85%)

Bloodstained: Ritual of Night (-75%)

Virgo Versus The Zodiac (-75%)

Road 96 (-75%)

HYPER DEMON (-75%)

INMOST (-70%)

Trepang2 (-66% - if it was any lower I would just snap it)

Been picking up hot wheels games for my son recently. The monster truck game just came up for 70% off, putting it right in the zone I'm willing to pay.

[–] Vupware@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 hours ago

The Hot Wheels Unlimited games are great!

[–] imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

2 days ago snatched Tomb Rider trilogy for under 6 euro.

Today got Slay the Spire, Witcher 3 and Detroit: Become Human for under 10.

[–] Vupware@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

The original trilogy, or the reboot trilogy?

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Probably talking about the 1, 2 & 3 remastered set that just came out as I just grabbed it too. Original trilogy.

You can switch between the original and remastered graphics instantly, at any time, by pressing start. You can also use tank controls if you're a masochist

None of my wishlist games were under 10€ so I skipped all of the deals there. Instead I bought (or put to the cart as I wanna sleep over my decisions) lots of DLCs to Total War Warhammers, Powerwash Simulator and other games I already own and like to play.

One new game I want to purchase is the Case of the Golden Idol which looks really interesting
