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.

Sonic Adventure DX gripe (self.patientgamers)

I love this game. I played the Dreamcast version as a kid so many times and recently replaced the PC version.

I learned that you can unlock metal sonic after 100% completing the game, but he is just a cosmetic for sonic and thats it.

My problem with this is that once the game is 100% complete, do I want to still play just to see a different cosmetic?

Maybe if there was some variety to make the levels a bit different or if he was able to be used after getting all the B rank emblems so there is still some challenge to complete.

Patient gamers do not face a lot of disadvantages, but they do include (artificial) scarcity, waning official support and facing old-ass design choices that might not look very favourable anymore.

My problem with this is that once the game is 100% complete, do I want to still play just to see a different cosmetic?

I don't really see this as an issue, but as a choice. Back in the day, games lasted a lot longer. Hell yes we wanted to play as Metal Sonic. The next best thing we had was replaying the game as just Sonic.
