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.

Enjoy! Would love to hear a newcomer's thoughts on it. I remember it being so immersive and cinematic the first time I played.

Though many of its innovations are now common in other games.

That's been what I've heard from others too.

Like a lord of the rings situation where after coming to it after growing up on things inspired by it, ends up not having the impact. While still being defining and classic of course.

Always like to see the growth over time and development of trends etc.

I did my first ever play thru in vr not long ago, and yes I was around when it first released tho the closest I ever got to playing was counter strike.

I was very invested in the playthru even tho I was chatting with viewers. The story and mechanics were amazing, the jumping spots were a little hard the first time as I have a thing with heights. Absolute blast, it does show its age in how certain areas have infinite mobs till you pass a point but, like Abraham Simpson says - "It was the style at the time"

HL2:Episode 1 and 2 are also quite intense, and save yourself the torture of Half life 1 in vr hehe
