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.

Ace Combat 7 but maybe I'll go back to Ace Combat Horizon Legacy +... I always seem to find later titles in a series and end up playing them in confusing parallel.
BlazBlue Entropy Effect. This one has been fun and weird. I jumped into it because of the Dead Cells collab and that content feels almost like it could be a Dead Cells 2. This game took a while for me to understand what's going on. I like the gameplay a lot, not so much the overworld stuff.
Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth. I went back to this game and realized that I gave up on the first boss months ago. Might try to beat that boss or I might just start it over. This game is a lot like Blade Chimera (same engine, I think. definitely the same team) but I have nostalgia for Lodoss stuff so I picked it up last year.
BlazBlue mention. I think it's funny how non fighting game people are getting into bb entropy effect (BlazBlue is a pretty old fighting game series and entropy effect is a recent spin off made by a 3rd party)
Oddly, I got into EE because I like the fighting games a lot. The Dead Cells collab just put it on my radar. I was kind of bummed that EE seems to have nothing to do with the rest of the titles. I shouldn't be, however, because there's BlayzBloo on the NDS and Clone Fantasma on the 3DS. Neither have any real story but feature the characters as well.
Side note: I badly wish that the Legion 1.5 mode in BlazBlue Contiuum Shift II was available on other releases. It's my favorite mode but the d-pad on the 3DS wears my thumb out. I would love to be able to use my leverless controller. Perhaps emulation is the way to go for that one.
