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 know we're already in February, but what are you looking forward to playing this year?

I am currently limited to my PS4 and an older laptop as far as big-screen gaming is concerned, and I am going to be playing some sequels:

The Witcher II - The 3rd part is more famous but I hear 2 has the better story. I am also one of those who really enjoyed part 1!
Pillars of Eternity 2 - the first one was so good I can't wait
Red Dead Redemption II - which I got for my birthday. It is absolutely HUGE. RDR1 is in my all-time favorite games list.

As for handheld gaming, I have recently gotten a Nintendo DS Lite and a PSP so I will be playing some:

Deadeus - a 2D horror game that someone recommended on this thread
Final Fantasy Tactics funnily enough, I never played this! I did enjoy the GBA version a lot though.
Jeanne D'Arc apparently it is one of the PSP's best titles.

As someone with a lot of IRL obligations, I will be very happy if I make it through this list.

What is on your list?

I think I'll just keep playing DayZ.

Nothing directly. I've seen my backlog of 70 or so games, and now my goal for 2024 is to just let go of the feeling that I need to complete games, and just play what I want, when I feel like it.

That being said, I'm trying out Cassette Beasts! Pretty fun so far, though I'm only around an hour in.

Also not a patient gamer for this one, but it's free so I hope it counts: Fallout: London is a release I'm looking forward to.

Some that come to mind are:

God of War Collection/3 on my PS Vita

System Shock Remastered

Deus Ex Human Revolution/Mankind Divided

I've been meaning to play The Witcher 2 but I feel like I should play the first one before I do. There's also some large mods I've been meaning to play for Fallout/Elder Scrolls games. I'm currently playing DUST for FNV
