A gaming sub 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.

Games you didn't like but suddenly clicked (lemmy.world)

Hey folks! Here's an interesting thing that happened with me: I love action RPGs, I love western RPGs, I was addicted to Skyrim. So when The Witcher 3 launched, one of the most well received open world action RPGs I loved it, right? Well... No. In fact, for some reason I can't really understand I could never play more than 2 hours before dropping it.

I restarted that game about 5 times before, never liked it, wished I could refund it.

Until about two weeks ago I randomly decided to try it again and... oh boy, let's just say I'm a child considering if I should sleep for work tomorrow or continue playing all through the night.

Does anybody else have a game that they couldn't like but it suddenly clicked and now they enjoy it?

Two games for me:

Trials Fusion: I expected/wanted a fairly easy going full-speed flow type of ordeal but only the first few tracks are like that. Only when I booted it up years later to have another look did it click as a 'skill-based momentum puzzle game'. Finished the game, loved it, got Trials Rising, Evolution and 2 SE.

Death Stranding: got to somewhere early mid game, got bored running standard deliveries. One of my first open world games like this, I didn't know when to move on with the story. When after a while I returned to the game and got back on track with the story it became one of my favourite games of all time.
