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

My last run was over 300 hours... But you are right. I haven't really picked it up again since.

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.
