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.

It's a bitter sweet feeling afterward, but I love it when a game has characters where, after the game is over, I miss seeing a part of their lives. Be it due to the characters themselves or the interaction they have with one another, exiting their world feels more like a loss than when normally putting a story away.

Are there any games where you experienced similar? While it can be a bitter sweet feeling, I know that it is a sign that I really enjoyed what I was playing and love to find these experiences.

The whole Investigation Team from Persona 4. The way the game is framed does an excellent job of making you feel like you've met all your best friends over the course of one school year and then you have to say goodbye to all of them. The multitude of spinoff sequels takes away a lot of the impact of the final scene and credits sequence, but I've never been more attached to a cast of characters in a game.
