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.

    Resident Evil Village. I played most of the middle games, but skipped the first one because I hate tank controls and 0 because I heard it was awful. I told myself I won’t buy Village until I play those two. I own them, I just can’t get myself to want to play them for more than ten minutes at a time.

      Similar boat here. I own all RE games (cept Requiem) and I really wanna play Village but omg it’s hard to get started. Took me a long time to get started on RE7 too. And I still got RE4make too but I wanted to finish RE4 first but also dropped that one ugh (tho technically I finished it on release already I want a fresh perspective).
      But like holy hell the series has like 4 different entry points and my ADHD brain can’t handle it.

      It’s a pretty good game, doesn’t take long to complete a playthrough, either. I think you’d enjoy it if the spirit moves you one of these days.

    Super Mario Run on the iPhone. I won’t buy it until it goes on sale and, since it’s Nintendo, it’ll never go on sale.

    I’m waiting until I finish Sonic & The Seven Rings before moving onto Sonic &.The Black Knight. I am very slowly going through the game I never beat growing up and at this rate I’ll probably get around to finishing it near when the heat death of the universe occurs.

    Looking forward to Black Knight since it was a game I wanted but never got. I just hope I can get an official wiimote by then because Seven Rings controls poorly on the 3rd party one I currently have.

    I want to grab mgsv when it drops below $20. $20 for a 2015 title feels a bit steep.

      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.

          I could not for the life of me get wabbajack to work, but I did get steam tinker launcher to work out of the box and used nexus to put together asking related to LotDB

          I’ve been enjoying Nordic Souls as a Wabbajack pack. It’s got gameplay adjustments that do change the difficulty curve but is closer to the base game in difficulty than many of the other prominent mod packs. It also has a smaller footprint (~100GB maybe?) as compared to some others. Skyrim feels more modern and fresh, for sure.

          I downloaded it on a whim after I used Wabbajack/Nexus Premium for some Fallout New Vegas modding (went with Viva NV). I wanted to get full value from that premium sub lol.

          Edit: I will say that I don’t think Nordic Souls includes Legacy of the Dragonborn, so I’d look into that and choose another pack if desired.

          Modding Skyrim is one of my favorite games.

          Load game. Load mods. Break game. Repeat until pretty. Finish 10 hours later. Play for 2 hours and drop game.

          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 completely agree, if you need to heavily mod Skyrim for it to be good, is it even Skyrim any more? Grossly overrated on release in my opinion

      Having played literally 0 TES games in my entire life, I do own some sort of Skyrim enhanced edition in my Steam library. I share your promise. Haven’t got close to play it yet.
