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.

Far Cry 1 is the best one! It was made by crytek, the same studio that did Crysis. I still occasionally go back to replay that game. It's really fun.

Far Cry 1 was amazing, but so were 2 and 3. The first 3 were all something really special. 4 and 5 were cool too, but the first 3 were really unique at the time.

I love the atmosphere of all of them, and 2 felt really revolutionary at the time. I kind of wanna play some Far Cry 2 again some time soon, I've been feeling like taking in some of the African atmosphere of it, especially since I've got the travel bug recently and I don't know if I'll ever visit Africa in real life.

My favorite aspect was the B-movie feel to the whole thing. I was dying when my character got punted right in the face out of a flying helicopter. I wish I could find more games with some humor like that.
