and my own personal experience; most games I have bought in the past 10 years have been off of recommendations from r/gamingsuggestions before Reddit went to crap and Lemmy came into existence; and even moreso when it is a personal friend recommending things to me.
Mods, feel free to nuke if this feels too close to advertising or better-suited for [email protected] (my own community); I mean it more as a discussion piece but I don’t run the place.
EDIT: The “not” in the title is optional; I’m asking about both successful and failed recommendations.
Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines
I didn’t get around to playing this game until about a decade after its release, and I seriously don’t understand who could find that game enjoyable except 13yo edgelords.
I played it and had a great time a few years ago and I’m certainly no 13yo or edgelord.
Vtmb has a very unique setting, good writing and a great soundtrack. The gameplay is probably the worst part about it though, it’s also quite unfinished in the later parts. Don’t open it.
I mean most of the people shilling it probably were teens at the time they played it. It’s like Neon Genesis Evangelion: teenage drama that’s “deep”, but when you watch it as an adult it just doesn’t hit.

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.
