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.

Mine is the Army Men series. Objectively mediocre games at best but the concept of toy soldiers fighting over our yards and rooms has always been cool to me

Too Human

The development of it made the game not live up to it's hype, but it was still a really playable ARPG.

I really enjoyed the control scheme too which used two joysticks for combat, instead of the buttons, the idea was to put less stress on the player over long gaming sessions and I think they got very close to that. It's a shame no other games followed that control scheme

I was obsessed with this game when it came out. Rented it from Gamefly for 360 and immediately fell in love with the twin stick combat. Had a good loot system too from what I remember. I really want to go back and play it again now.
