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.

MODERATORS
Mine is Alpha Protocol. While it has some minor cult status its really Obsidians least known modern title.
Its clunky and ugly, but one of the best espionage RPGs with tons of meaningful choices and really unbalanced combat (looking at you pistol head shot god). I would kill for a sequel.
I loved the timed dialogue system in it, I can understand why people would hate that, but I think it really put the pressure on a game mechanic that's usually pretty stale.
I really enjoyed the game and I think it's one serious weakness was the RPG dice role combat being applied to a skill based combat system, if you can target with the mouse/controller you shouldn't have to worry about hitting a target and damage rolls as much as they did.
I followed a guide to use pistols and it was excellent.
