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.

Parasite Eve (never played it myself but I know it's considered a classic)

AMAZING games, 1 & 2 both

The woman in that game is an adult in a child's body. Skip this one.

“Aya Brea is the main protagonist of the Parasite Eve series. She is 25 in Parasite Eve, 27 in Parasite Eve II and 38 in The 3rd Birthday.”

Please elaborate.

The villain, Eve, uses a child's body iirc.

Meanwhile, her younger sister Eve (a genetic clone of Aya) is an example of the inverse, as when she was rescued she was chronologically only 2-3 years old but had the appearance and behavior of a preteen girl. Ten years later on the day of Aya's wedding, Eve still looked about the same age instead of aging into a 20-something, even though by now she'd graduated from college. In the ending, it's revealed that the person the player has been controlling is actually Eve in Aya's body. She permanently takes over after Aya's death, making her a young teen in an 38-year-old body that looks 20.

That’s the third game in the series. Not only is it completely different in style and tone, but it’s generally disliked and dismissed by the fandom. Are you recommending they skip 1 and 2 just because of this third game?

If someone asks you if you like pe, do you say yes? Or, do you say, yes expect for the borderline csam?

oh fuck off, they were amazing games 1&2, I've never even heard of the third game until your comment, you're dismissing the series based on something irrelevant
