Patient Gamers
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.

Oh so many!
- Cyberpunk 2077
- Elden Ring
- God of War Ragnarok
- Hogwarts Legacy
- Jedi Survivor
- Horizon Forbidden West Burning Shores
- Baldur's Gate 3 (though it's not on consoles yet ...
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
Starfield, waiting to see how many issues it has and what actual gameplay and graphics looks like.
Yeah I'm shocked at how quick people forgot Fallout 76, and the plethora of other broken Bethesda releases.
Don't get me wrong I'd love for it to be good, but I've just been burned too many times to trust it at launch haha
I've been holding out on getting Stray for about a year now. I'm just not willing to pay full price for a relatively short game.
Same. It looks adorable but the price is a little too high for me.
I thought it was worth the $30, but I do wish it had a bit more. Like an extra Zoomies mode for timed runs or races.
I'm sure it really is worth the money but I'm a patient gamer because I'm cheap. I'd rather support a good company in other ways like buying soundtracks and swag versus getting burned on a overpriced game.
Starfield. Too expensive at release and likely to be buggy
Same. But add not having anything able to efficiently run it at a satisfactory level at the moment.
Every playstation exclusive that ends up on PC.
Those Spiderman games look SWEET. I'm super excited about Ghost of Tsushima and can't wait for it to be released in 2024, and finally play it in 2027 when it's on sale.
Starfield, Baldur‘s Gate 3, and Cyberpunk.
I‘m so tempted to just be part of the Starfield start hype but… let‘s be honest, it‘s a Bethesda game so it probably needs another year of patches and mods.
And Baldur‘s Gate seems to also require a few patches and I‘m not paying more than 40 bucks for any digital copy of a game, even if it‘s the second coming of Christ among videogames.
Cyberpunk I‘m merely waiting to have a PC that is powerful enough to play it in all its glory. So probably gotta wait half a decade lol
Obviously, on top of my mentioned reasons, it‘s not like I don‘t have 100+ untouched games dozens of them critically acclaimed, so it’s not like I’m just staring at my wall waiting for my moment to strike lol
The Expanse: A Telltale Series
I see it has been received well but I'm avoiding all details and waiting for all episodes to be released.
im so patient that im waiting for BG3 to come to ps5
For me there are a couple.
Hades (2020) - I'm not in any hurry with this one. I'd get it if GOG starts to sell it, otherwise I'll wait a bit more.
Outer Wilds (2020) - I'm getting impatient with this. I'd like this more on GOG too, but I think I'll just buy it when Steam winter sale comes.
The Guild III (2022) - quirky trade/life sim game and I have some fond memories of the second one. But that had quite a few bugs even long after release and I hear the third game still looks unfinished so I'm patient.
It's a shame that the Outer Wilds went for a timed exclusive to epic, but it did help me wait to get it!
Hades is so very good.. I don't think it will come to gog soon ish because, if I remember correct that is, epic payed a lot of bucks for it.
Their exclusivity period is over either way. The game has been on Steam for years. I don't think it would block a GOG release in any way now.
Just Starfield. They keep making statements that, as a long time Bethesda fan, sound ridiculous. Tell me lies, tell me sweet sweet lies, Todd. I would like to be pleasantly surprised, but I am reserving judgment for the actual release of the game.
Remember when Todd went on stage and spent 5 minutes joking about the "tell me lies" memes before lying his ass off to sell the steaming pile of shit that was Fallout 76?
I bet he's laughing his ass off at all the Starfield preorders, cupping his hands together like a Saturday morning villain and preparing to drink the tears of his customers - Granting him eternal youth.
I've got Disco Elyseum, factorio, and Cyberpunk 2077 waiting for me to get into the mood to play them.
- Tears of the Kingdom - I thought BoTW was fun, but not as fun as older Zelda games; I'll probably get it eventually, but I want to pay $40 or less
- The Great War: Western Front - still seems pretty buggy, so I'll wait a bit for patches
- Victoria 3 - I love Paradox games, but they seem to need a few years to get good
- Mount & Blade: Bannerlord - still getting patches and some new content, so I'll keep waiting
- Starfield - undoubtedly going to be buggy, so I'll be waiting at least a few months, if not years, after launch to get it
I'm actually considering getting BG3 soon, once I get a few days to play a lot of it. It looks like a solid launch, so I'm happy to pay a bit more for something high quality. I hope they continue to work on it and maybe provide content heavy DLC at some point.
I'm holding out on starfield. There must be a cyberpunk moment waiting right around the corner because you can't jam all that in a game and expect it to work too.
Also 80% what's out there of so called features of this game only exists inside the heads of influencers. That hopium is the real problem.
I tried holding out on armoured core. I couldn't. Glad I didn't. Amazing game. Easier then Elden ring but still very clearly a from software title.
People are mad because starfield doesn't have things they never said they would have. It is not no man sky, but the comparison is going to be hard to shake
Im just waiting to get a new computer before I burn through my steam games. I havent purchased a new game in a long time. My backlog is huge!
I'm savoring Baldur's Gate 3, not necessarily waiting to play it per se but not wanting to binge it. I'm planning on waiting on Starfield for at least a few months.
Stray, cyberpunk and red dead 2 and forza. I'm waiting until they come down in price and it forces me to play through my backlog.
Saints Row. I don't see it being a possibility but I have this false hope that volition will bounce back and give a good game.
Cyberpunk 2077. Waiting for the complete police overhaul to play the game. Have not played it yet.
I purchased outer wilds and soma… haven’t touched them.
You're holding off on two serious video game gems right there. Hope you get time to play them soon. :)
As always, waiting for sales.
Looking forward to Baldur's Gate 3 and its horny crazy shenanigans, Cyberpunk 2077 now that it's in better shape and I have a PC that can run it decently. Hi-Fi Rush is definitely on my list, rhythm action is a cool genre. I might go for Elden Ring if the price is good, see if I'm going to finally like a single souls games or if I'll bounce off that one too.
Still waiting for a rare chance at a 33% off on Smash Bros Ultimate and who knows Wario Ware Get It Together.
To an extent, Kingdom Hearts. Still waiting for the Steam Deck release
Re4 remake. I really love Resident Evil, but I haven't set up the time to get immersed in it and experience it.
BG3, Elden Ring, Armored Core 6, just to name the high profile few I'm going to wait for significant price drops in maybe 2 years.
Besides, I do want to play several other RPGs before diving into Baldur's Gate, especially Tyranny, Divinity Original Sin 1 and 2, and the Pathfinder games. Maybe also the old Neverwinter Nights, got the GOG version of them, am yet to begin a campaign
All in all, those ~5 old-ish RPGs alone can probably run me through an entire year.
Wayfinder. They released into early access and it's very early. Needs more time to cook.
Palia. Interesting concept, but the launch reviews say it's kinda shallow. I'll check in a year or so to see if it's got any depth.
Diablo 4. It started pretty good! Then went to the shitter and hasn't recovered.
Well, I already have it, Quake 2. I haven't played yet cause I'm trying to get a couple friends to coop our first go.
Was in the military when Quake came out, so it's one if the few true classics I get to play now for the first time.
Like many others Balders Gate 3. I am now going through the first two. Hopefully when I have completed I and II I might have a PC that can run BD3.
Waiting for an eventual Elden Ring + all DLCs sale, whenever that (may) happen
Starfield is honestly the only new game that mildly interests me (ES6 is years away still), and I'm holding out on that one until 1.) a GPU that can run it smoothly at 2,5k with no DLSS/FSR shenanigans costs 500€ or less so I can actually afford it; 2.) script extender comes out and lays the framework for not just mods, but amazing mods; 3.) the ongoing thargoid war reaches its conclusion and wraps up and doesn't immediately lead to rogue guardian AI showing up or Empire and Federation throwing themselves into mutual assured destruction or whatever.
On the other hand, if Starfield won't have HOTAS support, I'll probably put it on hold indefinitely and try out Star Citizen instead, if I ever get bored of Elite. Maybe pick it up when it's 10€ on a sale in half a decade. Fallout 3 didn't turn out to be my cup of tea, after all, and Starfield may fall in the same category. And this is fine.
I've been waiting for tears of the kingdom. I know the game won't go on sale by a lot, so I'll just wait for a good deal at my local swap meet.
I'm focused on back-to-school and getting some outdoor projects done before winter. To help with that, I disassembled my PC. Once snow starts falling and (hopefully) the Adventure Mode update is released, I plan to snuggle up and finally enjoy the graphical version of Dwarf Fortress.
Armored Core 6, Jedi Survivor, Starfield. Until some sale I think. I’ve already bought Elden Ring, Diablo 4, and Baldurs Gate 3 this year, and I might get another before the year ends. Gotta slow it down lol
Edit: Hogwart’s Legacy, forgot about that one.
Baldur's Gate 3
Armored Core 6
Remnant 2
...and (depending on your definition of "recent") a lot more. Any of the big games coming over from PlayStation (God of War, Spider-Man), Cyberpunk, etc. I don't generally buy games for over $20, unless it's someone I want badly and it hasn't gone below that after a couple years.
I splurged on Baldur's Gate and have enjoyed every minute I've put in so far. I'll have to get back to Tears of the Kingdom at some point too.
But I'll be fully holding off on Armored Core, Starfield and the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection for a while.
