Patient Gamers

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.

Which game have you been the most patient for (as in, delaying purchase)?

For me, it would have to be GTA V. I stopped playing games for years, then built a new rig in 2018. Since then I've played through GTA IV (well, I beat the story, and it was amazing), but I never played GTA V.

My plan is to purchase it and start playing it the day GTA VI is released, as I have enough other games to get through in the meantime.

Modded skyrim is one of my favorite games, vanilla skyrim is just... meh.

Modding Skyrim is one of my favorite games.

Load game. Load mods. Break game. Repeat until pretty. Finish 10 hours later. Play for 2 hours and drop game.

10 hours? I've been at this for over a week (of total time spread across 6 weeks).

Starting 3 years ago, it only took me about 3 years to mod it to perfection — which was another exercise in patience I guess.

I nuked mine when I made the switch to Linux 😂
