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.

Are there any games you're planning to pick up during the Steam and GOG sales? (lemmy.zip)

We've got two big sales going on, and I'm currently deciding what I would like to pick up. I'm planning to get Expeditions: Rome since it's 60% off, and I'm trying to decide if I want to finally get Terra Invicta.

What patient games are the people here planning to pick up? Maybe I'll find a few that I "need" to try!

That'll bring you quite a few hours of enjoyment I'm sure! I've got a lot of hours into both of those games.

indeed! tonight I discovered those wide load missions that must have been from one of the cargo packs I picked up. brings a whole new element to the game!

Oh yes, those are a lot of fun! It does add a lot to the game. Just a warning, I've found them to be a bit buggy at times, so I would recommend doing a save before taking one. They may have fixed it since I took one though.

definitly a challenge. I had one that took me down a route so narrow there was probably a centimetre clearance either side and the escort wouldn't merge, but like you said having a regular save helped

Yeah, it can be frustrating in times like that.
