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.

    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.

    I waited a LONG time to pick up Gran Turismo 7, and boy do I feel like that was a waste. I had fond memories of playing a previous GT title on ps3 with my dad before he passed away, but GT7 is just awful. I HATE how the chat bubble heads “explain” the gameplay. I HATE pretty much every menu outside of the standard gameplay pause menu. I HATE new car showroom/marketplace/museum whatever the fuck it is.

    Idk if I missed more than a few entries in the series but this shit is the most infantile, disrespectful talk down I’ve ever recieved from a video game.

      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.

    The Last Night

    I heard about it because it had music by Lorn. It looked cool. Cyberpunk pixelart aesthetic. ‘Post-cyberpunk’ concept. Then there was some twitter drama about something the creator said in a tweet years before that maybe indicated some unsavory views which they immediately disavowed. They said they were still working on it ~5 years later, which was ~5 years ago. The game remains unreleased.

    There’s also ‘What Lives Below.’ I don’t know what happened with it. Wishlisted it after it was announced, but haven’t heard anything since. It might have died in the womb, as it were.

    Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. I could have got it for PS5 but I knew I would end up also buying it for PC, so I just waited the year or whatever.

    Doing the same with Death Stranding 2.

    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.
