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?

Breath of the Wild - I tried a few times, but never made it past the opening area. Once I finally did, I ended up hating the weapon durability mechanic. Once I discovered mods (Linkle and removal of weapon durability), I started to get into the game.

Starlancer - This is an old PC game (~2000?). I'd messed around with it a lot, but one day it sort of clicked with me. I rapidly beat it from there (of course there was the one ship that could 1 shot everything else, which was why I beat it so easily).
