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.

Looking at my Steam wishlist, Dead Cells is the game that's been on there the longest. It looks like a fun game, but it also being a roguelike always has me hesitant to pull the trigger on it.

I played that game so much in Early Access and then they redesigned the gameplay a fair bit towards the end and I didn't enjoy the release as much. I wish they had some rolled back versions to revert to.

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.
