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.

Games that still need more patience: what games released a year ago (or older) are you waiting for a sale on? Or that need another patch? (lemm.ee)

Other than a slew of Nintendo titles that maybe hopefully will come down in price (the patient gamers' bane), I have my eye on the next time Divinity: Original Sin 2 goes on sale. A friend who never plays anything other than WoW loved playing Larian's newest with me and I'm trying to get her to pick this up. Pretty sure she'd like it.

I was also watching Star Trek: Infinite's progress. I was quite interested in that one at launch but firmly decided to be patient. Naturally, it was discontinued last week. Oof.

Are there any games you're currently price watching? Or hoping for bug fixes/more content?

VA-11 Hall-A. I played like an hour of it when it was on gamepass and liked it a lot, but then it left and I've been waiting on a sale ever since. It's not like it's even that expensive, but I'd hope to get it like 50% off because it came out in like 2016.

Oh, I got it in a HumbleBundle years ago. Very good game, could probably do a replay of it

Apparently GOG has it for 33% off right now which is basically the historical low, so I'll probably pick it up. Glad to hear you liked it, I've heard nothing but good things so far
