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.

Just got to the Lower Ward on my planscape: torment replay. The soundtrack is great, found a couple different paths to take by dying I didn't even think about when I played it last time. Updated my journal.

Been really enjoying Titan Quest 2, Grim Dawn and Albion Online

Tried out The First Descendant for the first time since launch. Since then I've upgraded my PC and no longer have the insane performance issues I had back then. Truthfully I reinstalled for the Nier stuff, but when I found out that it only comes as a $70 bundle I immediately uninstalled. There's no reason a company should sell a few skins for a price like that even if the game is free to play. What baffles me even more is the idea that there are genuine players out there who aren't rich who've actually purchased the pack. Especially given the fact that there are so many other ways out there to see 2B. Actually insanity to me.

Haven't had time to play much else this week.

Wuchang Fallen Feathers. 46 year old man who uninstalled/refunded it. Way tooooo difficult for my reflexes. Plus no difficulty settings is a deal breaker.

Other devs taking on the FromSoft "deal with it" attitude to difficulty/accessibility options is such a shame. I think as there are more and more older gamers out there hopefully things will slowly start to change.

Were you playing on PC? One saving grace there is usually there are plenty of mod options available for toning down difficulty.

Ya, I was on the PC. My stance is that if they don't care about my experience, I must not be their target demographics. No need to give them money so they think I was a satisfied customer.

I might pirate it tho and try modding.
