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.

Games that are good at getting you ready to play? (lemm.ee)

This might sound a bit random, but Cyberpunk 2077 has this sort of warmup sound that plays through the game startup sequence that always gets me relaxed or psyched up to play. Another example is the title song in Trails from Zero. Calms me every time.

Whether it's a sound effect, music, or a loading screen, is there a game that does this for you immediately when you open it?

One of my best gaming experiences is when you boot up Half Life Alyx. It has a giant and fully 3D model of the bald dude with the valve on his head and he does the slow turn at the end of the iconic music.

Not only is it a killer intro, but it’s one I felt like I’ve poured so many hours into valve titles to receive in what feels like its best and final form.

It wasn't as classic, but the valve intro for The Lab was really unsettling for me. Giant room with hundreds of valves, felt very surreal. A simple space that would/could never exist, but here I am standing in it. But I might just have trypophobia lol
