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.

Are you holding off on any game in particular right now? (self.patientgamers)

I suppose Baldur's Gate 3 could be an example for a lot of people. Any recent or just "recent" release you are waiting for to get at the moment?

I've a huge backlog that I'm chipping through one by one, and thse games are only going to get better with patches or cheaper with sales, I can wait for that and reduce my backlog at the same time :D

Bout cyberpunk 2077 for $20 three months ago.

Still buggy. It was okay. Lots of boring combat. But the story, acting, and world? Amazing! I had to use a mod to help change some of the hotkeys.

After 25 hours... Update broke my save.

Id say keep waiting until 2025 when the GoTY is released and fanpatches exist.

BG3 is the only game I've bought at launch price in my life. No regrets, what an amazing job from Larian.

+1 for God of war ragnarock, no ps5 here so I'll be waiting for steam release. I just played the prequel this year anyways so I can wait
