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.

Which game have you been the most patient for (as in, delaying purchase)?

For me, it would have to be GTA V. I stopped playing games for years, then built a new rig in 2018. Since then I've played through GTA IV (well, I beat the story, and it was amazing), but I never played GTA V.

My plan is to purchase it and start playing it the day GTA VI is released, as I have enough other games to get through in the meantime.

One of the nice things about Factorio is that you can finish a level and put it down and come back later. That's harder to do with an RPG like Expedition 33 or Dragon Age.

Not a ton of plot. It's mostly just a building sim.

How does one 'finish a level' in Factorio? I thought it was pretty open ended (until you launch a rocket)?

But I do get what you mean - it's definitely harder to drop and return to a story based game.

Finish a run, excuse me
