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 picked up a Vita recently. So far, Gravity Rush is the only game that I definitely want to play. Any other recommendations? I’m pretty open with genres, as long as it’s something with a story.

I see Ys mentioned a lot! I'm a casual JRPG fan (played Persona 3, 5, maybe half the Tales games, maybe 3-4 FF games, Xenoblade trilogy, Bravely Default + both sequels, 2 or 3 Dragon Quest games, and probably a handful of others). Anything in particular that you'd compare Ys with? And do you recommend I play it in any specific order? I skimmed the site and it looks like they're all connected, although not in order, which makes me think of MGS.

I’m just getting started with Ys myself having just finished I&II and moving to Origins. I’m playing on a Steam Deck and using this site to determine my play order.

So far I’m getting the impression that this series is going to be kind of like Zelda, but instead of exploration, puzzles and gizmos, you get storytelling, combat and magical items. There are probably much better comparisons to other popular franchises, but this is just what popped into my head as of starting Origins last night.
