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.

Which game have you been the most patient for (as in, delaying purchase)?

For me, it would have to be GTA V. I stopped playing games for years, then built a new rig in 2018. Since then I've played through GTA IV (well, I beat the story, and it was amazing), but I never played GTA V.

My plan is to purchase it and start playing it the day GTA VI is released, as I have enough other games to get through in the meantime.

Similar boat here. I own all RE games (cept Requiem) and I really wanna play Village but omg it’s hard to get started. Took me a long time to get started on RE7 too. And I still got RE4make too but I wanted to finish RE4 first but also dropped that one ugh (tho technically I finished it on release already I want a fresh perspective).
But like holy hell the series has like 4 different entry points and my ADHD brain can’t handle it.
