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.

Now that Deus Ex has been cancelled, what other games scratch the Deus Ex itch? (lemm.ee)

It's kind of sad that one of the greatest video game series is on hold for now.
Conspiracy theories, multiple ways of solving a mission, game lore hidden in computer inboxes...
Are there any (pre-2010) games that gave you the same feeling or do a similar thing?

Ctrl Alt Ego is new, but is a fantastic immersive sim. If you want pre-2010 though, you're limited to System Shock 1 and 2, Thief Gold/2: The Metal Age, Hitman: Blood Money, and the original Deus Ex.

Immersive Sims are coming back, but pre-2010 cuts you to essentially the formative classics of the Immersive Sim genre.

If you want to branch out of the strict boundaries of Immersive Sims, Fallout: New Vegas and Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines are both incredible.

Added Ctrl Alt Ego to my Steam Wishlist - never heard of it, great tip!

Indies are absolutely crushing it, especially in the ImSim scene. Not an ImSim, but In Stars and Time recently blew me away with how much I loved the characters, even if it was cheesy.

I'm a half-patient gamer, I play older AAA and AA games, and newer and older indies. It's a good mix!
