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.

Tell us what game you are currently, or recently played, greater than 6+ months old.

If the game happens to be on sale, a link would be fantastic.

I actually like Automata's prologue :D

"Game Over" having to rewatch the opening 6 times in a row was almost enough for me to toss the game out. I ended up putting "super-duper-easy" auto-fight mode on until I reached the first save point.

Who though that having a 1-hit-kill boss 15+ minutes into the game BEFORE the first save point was a good idea?

Even Soulsbornes aren't that cruel

I probably just got lucky because I beat him first try. Just a completely different experience.

Fair point

But that damn double-saw is one of few bosses that both have one-hit-kill situations that also attempt to hit you with one-hit kills (instead of them being incidental collisions). One could say it's one of the hardest bosses in the game.

It really sucked how many times I had to watch the opening cut-scenes. They went from beautiful to annoying.
