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.

Skyrim. I'll play it one day I swear.

Honestly it's worth it if you're down for mods. It felt like an insult when it came out, it was like call of duty wearing morrowind's skin, but since then it's become a pretty robust modding community and Legacy of the Dragonborn is miles above anything in the base game.

I know the Wabbajack scene is pretty big for Skyrim, is there any big mod pack you would recommend? Skyrim is also an embarrassing blind spot for me (played enough of Morrowind and Oblivion back in the day so never got around to it) but after all the hundreds of hours I've spent modding Fallout: NV, Cyberpunk and STALKER Anomaly I am not sure I want to dive headfirst into another multi month mod project.

Modded skyrim is one of my favorite games, vanilla skyrim is just... meh.

Starting 3 years ago, it only took me about 3 years to mod it to perfection — which was another exercise in patience I guess.

I nuked mine when I made the switch to Linux 😂

Yep, same.
