A gaming sub 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 you didn't like but suddenly clicked (self.patientgamers)

Hey folks! Here's an interesting thing that happened with me: I love action RPGs, I love western RPGs, I was addicted to Skyrim. So when The Witcher 3 launched, one of the most well received open world action RPGs I loved it, right? Well... No. In fact, for some reason I can't really understand I could never play more than 2 hours before dropping it.

I restarted that game about 5 times before, never liked it, wished I could refund it.

Until about two weeks ago I randomly decided to try it again and... oh boy, let's just say I'm a child considering if I should sleep for work tomorrow or continue playing all through the night.

Does anybody else have a game that they couldn't like but it suddenly clicked and now they enjoy it?

Total War Three Kingdoms. I bought it on release, put a few hours in, but it didn't click with me.

I am a huge 3K fan including the Dynasty Warriors and ROTK games. Also put hundreds of hours into Rome classic. But the newer TW games didn't gel with me due to the gameplay differences from the older games. Never cared for the Warhammer franchise.

For whatever reason I put a hundred hours into Rome 2, which helped immensely when I finally came back to TW3K. It's a shame it isn't still supported because it is the best single player TW experience by far. The diplomacy possibilities especially make things a lot more interesting.
