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.

I started the game Playing Kafka. It is a small and free game on iOS and Steam, but it’s really good.

I am playing Max Payne on my iPad too. It creates a retro vibe.

I am playing Monster Hunter: Rise too, When I have nothing to do, I take out my Switch Lite and defeat the monsters.

I just started a free character on Dark and Darker since it's back on Steam. The gameplay loop is satisfying, and I feel ready to start playing teams and learn to fight other players.

Kiddos have gotten back into the Pokemon card game so we're likely playing Pokemon TCG Live

Also hoping to finally break in the Nexalis ttrpg I've had on the shelf for a while now with the teens

I'm ~~im~~patiently waiting for next week-end when the Elden Ring DLC releases. It counts if I have to wait, right?

Gonna finish Escape Academy with my partner! I only bought it because doseone did all of the music (Enter the Gungeon, 13&God, and one of my favorite albums: “Less is Orchestra” (Look it up please, listen to Fact Colossal or The Deadener) (RIP Alias)

Charming game with cheesy dialogue and great puzzles. Never have done an escape room before and we’re crushing it so far. Do NOT play alone. Must be played with a partner.

I have gotten back into non-patiently playing Helldivers, but I think I'll spend the weekend playing Hex of Steel, CtA:Gates of Hell and Dawn of War:Soulstorm with thr Unification mod, same as I've been doing all week.

Well that, and watching the 24h of Le Mans race, this saturday!

I just finished Star Trek: Resurgence last evening, so I'm now trying to decide what to start next! I'm currently trying to pick from Battletech, Dune: Spice Wars, and Desperados III, or maybe even something else. I'm looking forward to the Steam summer sale, I've got a few more games I've been eyeing up for a while.

Still playing through Thirsty Suitors on my deck on the TV. About 4 hrs in. It’s got an interesting story in there, but the fighting gets tedious sometimes and honestly, I wish I were encountering more of my exes. 7/10 so far

Also playing my second run through of BG3 with my buddy whenever we both have time. 10/10

And unrelated to gaming, I’ll have the 24 Hours of Le Mans on in the background

After watching the new dune movie I got inspired to play through a campaign on Dune: Spice Wars. So probably that!

Playing through ff7 rebirth and was trying to finish a dragon age origins play through I've had going on since 2022. I've had rebirth since launch but I've only really had a chance to play it from last week as I've been ill most of the year until recently. Also have dragons dogma 2 which I haven't played much for the same reason.

Perhaps not very patient gamer, but I think I'll give Another Crab's Treasure a go.

It's very hard for me to feel motivated to play new games nowadays, but that one did spike my interest - seems more fun than Elden Ring tbh, which kinda feels like a generic souls-like - and it's got great reviews and isn't too expensive, so I think I'll try it out.

I've been really enjoying my current Pathfinder:Kingmaker run going for the true ending.

Boom Blox Bash Party with the wife and maybe House of the Dead Returns

[–] kubj31196@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I finally 100% Arkham Knight after 9 years, completing all the Community Challenges trophies, including Requiem for a Killer challenge (the one where you have to do a 400+-combo in a endless combat challenge to reach and defeat the secret boss).

Think I'm gonna install Red Dead Redemption 2 next. Finished RDR for the first time last year and wanna finish the sequel, which I started a few years back on the PS4 but dropped.

Some more high-fi rush

[–] Elevator7009@kbin.run 2 points 5 months ago

I just played some Stardew multiplayer with a friend. First time I have broken out the game in about a year, and what with 1.6 being newly out, now I feel like playing singleplayer…

Also multiplayer Minecraft with friends.

When I was a kid, I played so many more games on my own initiative. Now that I'm older I seem to need to be incentivized to play a game by "your friend is playing this game!" But that does set me in more of a gaming mood afterwards…

[–] ohlaph@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I might play Valheim, mostly for building on my island.

[–] card797@champserver.net 2 points 5 months ago

Civilization III

Sakuna on the Nintendo Switch. It was on sale and I wanted to try it for a long time.

[–] hyhachi@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

just about to crack on star ocean for super famicom on my ps vita. its crashed a couple times tho so plan b is phantasy star and/or castlevania 3. i fidget a lot, i'll probably 5 different games before bed.

[–] theskyisfalling@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 months ago

I'm 25 hours into FO: New Vegas so will be continuing that. I have finally got into it on this, my third attempt to do so.

I used the viva new Vegas mod guide and everything has run so smoothly and generally been a great experience so far so slowly making my way through it and finally enjoying it :D

I just beat NieR: Automata (round 1, of it, anyway) and am debating whether to play through the second part of the story or just skip to the prequel game.

Monster Sanctuary! And helldivers 2
