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'm still waiting for Elden Ring to go on sale for $20 but might end up settling for $30.

I'm hoping they keep working on Darktide. I played it on gamepass when it came out, and the gameplay feels just great, but the progression is very bare-bones and doesn't really feel complete.

Vermintide went through a similar period too, so I have hope that it's going to be a great game eventually. Fatshark has something of a reputation for making games that feel great but then just boondoggling some kind of implementation. It seems like they're devs that care, but their corporate overlords keep their hands tied too.

Yup, I got into Vermintide early then too late. By the time I got back in 4 out of 5 matches was just people either speed running through the map or someone aimbotting the Gatling bow.

I'm holding off on Darktide for the same reasons as you. Hopefully we get that sweet spot soon.
