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 there any games you're planning to pick up during the Steam and GOG sales? (self.patientgamers)

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!

The Witcher 3 is pretty good. I normally don't like a lot of fantasy games, but the Witcher and Elder Scrolls games are two that I like for some reason! I finished the whole game and both dlcs once. I started a second playthrough, but that is mostly running around and playing gwent! 😂

Both Euro and American Truck Simulator are really good games. I like to just put on a podcast or some music and drive for a while. If you find you like it, the dlc states are worth the price in my opinion. Especially since they go on sale pretty often!

If you like eurotruck but want something a little more intense, snowrunner is great. Base game has well over 100hr of gameplay

Thanks for the recommendation! I actually already own Mudrunner and Snowrunner, and they are lots of fun. Slightly less relaxing than trucking, but they are good games to play with friends too.

The whole package seemed a bit expensive on the Switch. But I've spent way too many hours despite the blurry graphics

I didn't realize they had it ported to the Switch! I can definitely see it struggling to keep up with the game, but it sounds like it's still at least playable.
