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.

Personally there are a few games which left me very dissappointed, after hyping myself up for years in certain cases.

Divinity Original Sin: turns out I prefer more streamlined, less packed games (love Pillars of Eternity) and that coop play in a CRPG stresses me out.

Wasteland 2: I actually managed to finish this one but secretly I admit I was hoping for a better Fallout which I didn't really get. New Vegas did the cowboy theme much better.

INSIDE: while the design was cool, it was just a ton of boring, easy puzzles in comparison to LIMBO, its predecessor.

Horizon Zero Dawn

I thought this would be right up my alley but I really did not like the protagonist and the fighting and exploring seemed kind of boring.

The Last of Us

This game gets praised all the time but it felt too limited and 'on rails' whilst the gunplay and stealth was not for me.

You seem like a mountain dew game fuel and CoD kind of guy.

RDR2, I eventually caved and bought it after months of friends telling me how good it is. But the movement and control scheme are just so bad it instantly ruined the game for me. Even qwop has better controls.

YES!

I've been a PC gamer for 25 years, and RDR2 is by far thebmost annoying control setup. Everything feels laggy due to the emphasis on fluid and realistic animations.

Plus it suffers feom the same issue as GTA5: "Press Key to progress story". They both seem more like open world tech demos to me.

Good graphics, though. But graphics don't matter if the gameplay is good.
