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.

Spider-Man 2. I did initially buy it when it first released on PC, but the performance was so bad I literally couldn't even do anything. So I returned it.

Edit: I'm also waiting for a good sale on Sonic x Shadow Generations. I don't really care about the Sonic half of the game, I just wanna play as Shadow.
