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.

Games that still need more patience: what games released a year ago (or older) are you waiting for a sale on? Or that need another patch? (lemm.ee)

Other than a slew of Nintendo titles that maybe hopefully will come down in price (the patient gamers' bane), I have my eye on the next time Divinity: Original Sin 2 goes on sale. A friend who never plays anything other than WoW loved playing Larian's newest with me and I'm trying to get her to pick this up. Pretty sure she'd like it.

I was also watching Star Trek: Infinite's progress. I was quite interested in that one at launch but firmly decided to be patient. Naturally, it was discontinued last week. Oof.

Are there any games you're currently price watching? Or hoping for bug fixes/more content?

I bought it on sale then there was some force account creation I didn't notice on the purchase page and that was it for me, I refunded it. I'm not interested in some additional account I don't need for any reason. I was just looking for a single player experience.

I agree that forcing you to create an account for a single player game is stupid and annoying. And they only do that on the PC version. However, I can never recommend RDR2 enough.

I bought it because I had just finished GTA V and wanted more. Some told me RDR2 was like GTA with horses. But it is so much more than that.

It is now my favorite game of all time. I've done 2 complete playthroughs on PS4 and recently started another on PC. Once I finish the PC playthrough I plan to start messing around with some mods.
