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
just kicked off borderlands 3 over the weekend (it was a freebie on epic a while back).
i can see where they were trying to take the series, but i think they need a "back-to-basics" moment; there were a few decisions that really detract from the ability to be immersed.
(ux)the skill tree system has changed in a way that makes upgrading confusing to the point that i dont even use my special ability (it spawns a mech)
(ui)there are multiple advertisements for DLC that are always on your minimap and block your view of POIs - they look like questgivers
(bug)sometimes fast travel works and sometimes it doesnt (and sometimes it does but doesnt let you travel unless you close and reopen the map)
these 3 issues make it really difficult to enjoy a gaming session without being reminded that i need to spend more money so this convoluted system wont be fixed.
3 days in and i give it a meh 5/10; it seems like the budget was too big.
