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.

Edit: it looks like the banner is incorrect. On the front page of steam it’s the right dates and says summer, but when I click on it to see all the sales it says spring with the dates for the spring sale. It’ll probably get fixed soon.

Cyberpunk is on sale for 65% off so I finally picked it up (and its DLC). Currently downloading, I’m looking forward to checking it out. I tried it out shortly after launch, I think a demo or a friend’s house, but it never clicked for me so I didn’t get it. It was also incredibly buggy. I heard it’s far better now though, especially with the DLC, so I’ll give it a real shot.

Don't expect RDR2-but-cyberpunk (in terms of the open world) and don't expect a blank slate character RPG: you have some choices for characterization but V will always be V.

If you can get on board with that it's a great, immersive action game with a good story and some well written characters.

Good to know, I’ll keep it in mind. Thanks!

R2D2 but cyberpunk sounds cool as heckin' hell. C3PO too

It's more stable, interesting, and alive than any Fallout, Elder Scrolls, or GTA game in my opinion. If you like any of those, there's a good shot you'll enjoy it.

I love all of those. I’m excited to play it tonight
