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.

Race Driver: GRID
My racing career continues. I'm focusing on this rather than Stunt GP since I played that game quite a lot a year or two ago so there's not much new to experience there. I'd rather go all in on the title I didn't spend much time with for now.I finally decided against skipping 24 Hour Le Mans (took until I bought my own car until I had some fun with it) and played through two so far. Still not my favourite event but it's not bad. What I did give me more enjoyment however were the open-wheel races - grip on those cars makes it super fun to just zip around the track. I might have to look into some F1 games in the future.
One thing that stands out is something I already mentioned last week - limited content. I don't need hundreds of tracks but when you start repeating them across regions within the first 18 races (each region consists of 3 tiers made of 6 events) then something is not right. I still like the game and have a great time but it won't be replacing Colin McRae Rally 04 as my mainstay racing title.
Shadowrun: Dragonfall
I took a few month break after finishing this and Returns back to back and I'm starting to feel ready to go back in. I tried playing custom modules: Antumbra Saga and SNES Reboot.The first one started pretty alright, a simple task to infiltrate an office and place a box in specific location. The same mission then turned into a dungeon crawl of a magical cave located under said office, in the middle of a city and fighting through rooms of ghouls and spirits. I was hoping for a slow start with more choices about your approach but it didn't deliver. I'll be skipping this one for now unfortunately.
SNES Reboot... I'd say it was a similar story, except it doesn't even pretend to focus on non-combat gameplay. You'll get "random" encounters on the very first map (technically second, since you start in a building) you travel through and based on the info text at the start of this campaign, fighting is pretty much the main thing in this game.
Not that I expected different considering this is just a remake of the ancient SNES title but I hoped for a little more diversity (dunno, perhaps there's some later).
So yeah, my return to Dragonfall was a bust. I'll probably move on to Hong-Kong next since it's the only one I haven't played yet. I just wish there was more to look forward to (especially in terms of custom modules). Oh well, not every game can be Skyrim.
