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.

They actually moved some of the base game content from the starting planet to other planets with the DLC. And you can transport things between planets to kick start your factory, so each new planet should take significantly less time than the starting planet. So it's not really as long as playing through the whole base game then 4x more.

Still takes longer to beat but not like 5x. Closer to 2x for most people I think. Don't be afraid. The interplanetary factory must grow.
