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 a plus.

I started Watch Dogs Legion, but I don't think I'm likely to finish it. As someone who actually lived in London I just can't get over the terrible voices and insane things the characters all say.

Can you give some examples? I think it would be fun/interesting to learn what a londoner actually says and what the world/devs guess they would say.

I've never unironically called someone fam, or bruv. I don't speak Cockney Rhyming Slang on a regular basis, nor do my China plates. Almost every person in that game is a caricature based on the worst stereotypes of Londoners throughout the ages.

Oh wow. That would be offensively cringey!
