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.

Assassins Creed games are basically the Derek Zoolander calendar where each month showcases a different one of his looks.
What a beautiful image!
Arkham Asylum is dope. My favourite of the trilogy.
Have fun with this one :)
Played Starfield so I can have memories of how it used to be. Putting it down for a year for the modders to do their holy work.
Just bought Cyberpunk 2077 after the 2.0 update dropped and it was half off. Worth it!
Took me a while to realize what you meant by that list of games. I thought I was on the piracy community so I was thinking "why would I want to pirate any of those???"
Arkham Asylum was a blast, any of the Arkham series really is a solid choice
Is there anything non-indie that's released in the last 2-3 years and hasn't been an absolute shit show on launch?
Elden Ring, Tears of The Kingdom, Baldurs Gate 3 comes to mind.
Armored Core 6 as well
The release of Baldur's Gate 3 was when I re-purchased Baldur's Gate 1 for a play. Owned the physical for windows 98 back in the day and wanted to give it a nostalgia run while I wait for the price to come down on BG3.
Elden Ring PC port was rough but the game itself was great
I definitely seem to have gotten lucky with that. Were the issues performance related or something else?
Yeah, performances were shit, barely playable in the open world with a r7 2700 and a 1080ti
Nintendo's first-party titles are usually very polished on release (Pokemon being a notable exception). Other than that, Elden Ring and Baldur's Gate 3 are two recent major titles that I didn't hear many complaints about, though I'm not sure if the latter counts since it released a couple years ago in Early Access.
Pokémon games are developed by Game Freak, so although they’re published by Nintendo & The Pokémon Company I wouldn’t put them in the same category as a Zelda or Mario game.
lol I kept being like, "oh, there was..." and then remembering that it was an indie game.
God of War: Ragnarok was pretty polished at launch. There was also LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga that launched in really good shape, IIRC. Tears of The Kingdom wasn't too bad either. Those are the only AAA games that I can think of from the last couple of years that weren't shitshows.
Well, at least it's not empty; but that's a pretty short list...
Gamers who preorder non-physical games need a legitimate intervention
I did it ONCE and got burned so bad I've never even considered it ever again. Just Cause 4. So bad, it's not even on the lists of biggest letdowns. A letdown of letdowns.
But ... but... collector and exclusive content!
If it's not physical swag it's just DRM'd pixels that you don't actually own. 🤷
