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.

Just finished system shock 1 so like 20+ year old lag, I don't really have a strong urge to play modern AAA games. I mostly just gawk at what's popular and just play indie and old games. I also have a problem of not being able to pick up games in the middle of a series. I need to play a series from the start no matter how mad the earlier iterations are.
recommend me some 10+ year old game series uwu
Depends on what you like my brother.
Immersive sims like thief, system shock, deus ex are very good. System shock 1 is the least playable for normal people but the enhanced edition isn't that bad (you can even play the remake) but the rest are very playable.
Prototype holds up pretty well though you might need pcgaming wiki to get it to run properly if you are unlucky.
Stronghold series, universe at war (not on steam), knights and merchants (with the remake patch), aoe 2 (you can get the 2013 version) though de is good and technically the same game, company of heroes are all good rts games.
Rayman 2, Rayman 3 and Tasmania Tiger if you like collectathon platformers.
somehow i didn't get a notif when u replied & i thought u hadn't lmao
will bookmark to try basically anything cuz i only play overwatch and it's getting old.
Yeah I can imagine over watch mind breaking you especially with the "new" one. If you like multiplayer games rainbow six siege is pretty much the best competitive fps on the market.
finally found R6S on sale on steam and bought it lol, $2.6 for the deluxe version with argentinian pesos
Hey friend, long time no see, but yeah it's worth about that much because you have to grind or pay for a million extra operators. My recc just either buy the meta ones or ones that look fun to play. Given that they do give you a few depending on the edition and the older ones are much cheaper in terms of in game grinding.
Sadly my laptop is making weird noises. Brrrrrrrrrrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrrtrtrtrtrtttrtr. I think the fan is filled with dust. But I don't know how to open it without breaking it so I haven't done it. I'm in pain.
If the fan itself is worn out you will need to replace it, broken fans make the wildest of noises.
Had it replaced. All good now!
I'm a big fan of Endless Ocean 2 which came out in 2009 but you need to use Dolphin to run it on PC (also torrent the disc files unless you can find a disc copy). Also it's still the best diving game out there which is kind of crazy considering how old it is
Did you play Half Life 2?
Still holds up!
