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.

Are there any games you're planning to pick up during the Steam and GOG sales? (lemmy.zip)

We've got two big sales going on, and I'm currently deciding what I would like to pick up. I'm planning to get Expeditions: Rome since it's 60% off, and I'm trying to decide if I want to finally get Terra Invicta.

What patient games are the people here planning to pick up? Maybe I'll find a few that I "need" to try!

Dying Light's gameplay is pretty good, but I like immediately got a mod to fix the idiotic weapon break system. It's the extremely tiresome "Your hammer breaks after hitting 20 zombies" system plus "you leveled up! now you can use a better hammer with bigger numbers!". Easy enough to mod to taste.

The story, however, is kind of bad. You don't really get any choices, which is fine, but what happens is not satisfying. The DLC is also fun, but the story ending is trash. I just uninstalled it after instead of doing any of the extra bits.

Hades, on the other hand, is very good. No complaints.
