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.

I have had playstation for a while, but aside from Petz, Rollercoaster tycoon, and the sims <4 I never had a pc that could handle games.

I was gifted a used custom gaming PC cuz the owner was getting a new one! I have an $80 steam gift card I'd love to spend on multiple pop culture classic games I've missed out on and can only enjoy on PC/Xbox.. my favorite are 3rd person rpg with exploration as an important element in learning about the lore/story. Some sort of reward for exploring thar isn't loot.

Games I loved Control Horizon zero dawn Persona 5/royal Those three are S tier life changing, think about forever types

Bishop trilogy (2 is best @me bro) P5 strikers Persona 4 golden Final fantasy, 7, 9, 10, 13, 15 Catherine Full Body Alan Wake Ni no Kuni2 The forgotten city Until dawn A plague tale 1 innocence TLOU1 Uncharted 1-3 Portal 1 & 2

Meh life is strange 1 TLOU2 Nier automata (ikr, wtf? )

Did not finish/Gave up Mass effect 1 (and thus none of the sequels) Little nightmares Fallout 4 Cyberpunk 2077 and not for glitch reasons Ghostwire

So far the only game I'm sure of is the fable series but I dont even know what version to get? It often gets confusing for older games for a newbie

Everyone is recommending games, but you haven't told us a thing about this gifted PC. It's important to know that prior to recommending anything, as a "custom gaming PC" could be an i7-4790k system from a decade ago.

What are the specs?

Don't diss i7-4790k, you'd be surprised how well it can run some modern titles!

I'm aware, I built such a system in 2015. Unfortunately my ex got it in the divorce.

That still doesn't tell us anything about OP's system.

Oh, okay, then it sucks. You're missing out on nothin'!

I know, I'm just failing to be cheeky.
