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.

We've got two big sales going on, and I'm currently deciding what I would like to pick up. I'm planning to get Expeditions: Rome since it's 60% off, and I'm trying to decide if I want to finally get Terra Invicta.

What patient games are the people here planning to pick up? Maybe I'll find a few that I "need" to try!

I got Witcher 1 and SW:KOTOR for like $2. Not sure when I'll play them since I'm currently in the middle of a BG3 obsession and then I'm going to play Ghost of Tsushima. But it was cool to get them for so cheap.

Sounds like a really good deal! I've got all of the Witcher games, and they're pretty good. I'm not really a Star Wars fan, otherwise I would pick up some of the games while they're on that deep a discount! It makes me wonder how good some of them are for a non fan.

Ghost of Tsushima is a game I'm definitely keeping an eye on. I've unfortunately been disappointed with a lot of the recent PlayStation PC releases though, so I'm a bit wary. I'll wait to see what kind of discounts show up in a year or so!

Yeah I was surprised they were so cheap. That's not $2 each, that's $2 total lol. They were like 1.25 each or something. I've played TW2 and 3 and I really liked both of them, but I've heard TW1 feels really dated at this point; though really I'm just playing it to round out the series.

Not patient gaming related but I have started GoT. Its amazingly well optimized on my Steam Deck. I'm kind of blown away on how well it runs, though I've only been playing for two hours. Sometimes the game can fall apart at the end optimization wise, like Baldurs Gate 3.

For a long time I only played World of Warcraft, (I'm clean now) so I don't have a lot of experience with Sony. I think the last Sony games I played were the OG COD:MW2 and some of the first Ratchet and Clank games, but I've seen they get a lot of hate. Why is that? I did play the 2018 God of War last year and its one of my favorites.

I'm amazed by how well many games run on the Deck. You obviously can't have every graphic setting cranked, but it's still pretty good.

I'm not sure of the reasons why other people don't like the games, but for me it's primarily just not being pulled into the story and world. So far I've tried Horizon: Zero Dawn, Spiderman Remastered, Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves, and God of War, and the only one I actually finished and liked was Uncharted. Horizon I liked the gameplay and world fairly well, but the story was a bit boring. The others I put a number of hours into and quit because I wasn't enjoying myself. I didn't have super high expectations of any of them, so I don't think it's that. They may just not be my kind of game anymore, although I do like some games that are somewhat similar.

Personally I find that terra invicta requires way too much micromanagement and waiting for turns to pass so I can't recommend it but if that seems your speed or idk if there are mods to help then go for it

I don't play the series, but they're definitely very cheap right now!
