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.

When will people learn? Seriously. They keep touching fire and act equally surprised every time they get burned.

No Man's Sky. (Great now but holy hell was it a shit show)

Cyberpunk

Diablo IV

Far Cry 6

StarField

And now this latest Assasins Creed: Mirage.

Probably forgetting plenty of recent releases too that just faded into nothingness.

Personally, I'll be starting Batman Arkham Asylum this weekend. Heard it was pretty good. Should keep me busy for a while.

Is there anything non-indie that's released in the last 2-3 years and hasn't been an absolute shit show on launch?

Elden Ring, Tears of The Kingdom, Baldurs Gate 3 comes to mind.

Armored Core 6 as well

The release of Baldur's Gate 3 was when I re-purchased Baldur's Gate 1 for a play. Owned the physical for windows 98 back in the day and wanted to give it a nostalgia run while I wait for the price to come down on BG3.

Elden Ring PC port was rough but the game itself was great

Yeah, performances were shit, barely playable in the open world with a r7 2700 and a 1080ti

[–] Sigh_Bafanada@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I definitely seem to have gotten lucky with that. Were the issues performance related or something else?

Nintendo's first-party titles are usually very polished on release (Pokemon being a notable exception). Other than that, Elden Ring and Baldur's Gate 3 are two recent major titles that I didn't hear many complaints about, though I'm not sure if the latter counts since it released a couple years ago in Early Access.

Pokémon games are developed by Game Freak, so although they’re published by Nintendo & The Pokémon Company I wouldn’t put them in the same category as a Zelda or Mario game.

lol I kept being like, "oh, there was..." and then remembering that it was an indie game.

God of War: Ragnarok was pretty polished at launch. There was also LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga that launched in really good shape, IIRC. Tears of The Kingdom wasn't too bad either. Those are the only AAA games that I can think of from the last couple of years that weren't shitshows.

Well, at least it's not empty; but that's a pretty short list...
