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!

Baldur's Gate 3. Currently 20% off on steam, but I want to wait for at least 50% or something, especially for a $60 game.

I'm keeping an eye on it as well, but I'm waiting for a major price drop/bigger sale. Divinity Original Sin 2 didn't really click with me, and BG3 reminds me of it a little too much. Fantasy isn't really my favorite setting, so it may just not be the game for me.

Yeah bought it full price due to hype don't regret it as vote since product is good but I could not get into it.

Learn curve might have been it

I've run into that with a lot of games recently, especially some of the big open world RPGs. Everyone seems to be hyping them up and enjoying them, but I get about 5-8 hours or even less in and realize I'm not having fun.

I am waiting half for this reason and half because I'm busy! I won't get around to playing it anytime soon, so why buy it at this price now when it'll probably be for sale cheaper in a few years, which is when I predict I will have time to play?

If you can't afford it you can't afford it. My two cents though is I would have paid double the cost to play BG3.

Infant I did, I bought it for myself had such a great time I bought it for my wife too

Look at this discipline and self control!

The "discipline" and "self control" is having way too many games in my backlog. Currently playing through S.T.A.L.K.E.R. trilogy, will do Metro next.

does not stop most us from loading on more things we likely won't play.

Do we have next stalker around the corner?
