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?

I recently played it and have a similar take. I'm really curious about what might have happened differently if I had made different choices, but right now that is still my story and I don't want to ruin it with a second run or watching videos from other players.

I had the same experience with the Life is Strange series of games. I haven't played Life is Strange 2 yet, but for the rest of the series I've only had a single run on each and am still not ready to change my story.
