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.

The Mass Effect series, LA Noire, and Sonic Frontiers are all examples of games where I am waiting for DRM-free versions.

Good Luck.

You could just pirate them, or nows the perfect time to (re)discover the Xbox 360 with how great the modding scene has become lately.

I do have Mass Effect pirated. Just need a hardware upgrade to run RPCS3 better.

Another alternative is to buy on console. I bought the PS4 version of Yakuza: Like a Dragon because the steam version has Denuvo. I'm kind of torn between generally preferring physical over digital media, versus the openness and flexibility of PC vs the closed-off proprietary-ness of consoles. Trade-offs either way.

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.
