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.

I know we're already in February, but what are you looking forward to playing this year?

I am currently limited to my PS4 and an older laptop as far as big-screen gaming is concerned, and I am going to be playing some sequels:

  • The Witcher II - The 3rd part is more famous but I hear 2 has the better story. I am also one of those who really enjoyed part 1!
  • Pillars of Eternity 2 - the first one was so good I can't wait
  • Red Dead Redemption II - which I got for my birthday. It is absolutely HUGE. RDR1 is in my all-time favorite games list.

As for handheld gaming, I have recently gotten a Nintendo DS Lite and a PSP so I will be playing some:

  • Deadeus - a 2D horror game that someone recommended on this thread

  • Final Fantasy Tactics funnily enough, I never played this! I did enjoy the GBA version a lot though.

  • Jeanne D'Arc apparently it is one of the PSP's best titles.

As someone with a lot of IRL obligations, I will be very happy if I make it through this list.

What is on your list?

Most of Chapter 1 (not the prologue) is just not great. The rest of the game more than makes up for it.

Thanks. I doubt I made it past the first chapter. I was just like what the f*** who cares about any of this. Where's the story?

And considering how immersive the first and third games were and having so many other great games to play, I was shocked when the second one caught me with such boredom and aimlessness.

I'll tuck in though, I am still excited at the prospect of having another witcher game to get into at all.
