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.
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.
Beyond Good & Evil 2?
Rdr2. Still waiting for a fps patch on console (most powerful machine I possess)
Im still waiting for a pc release of RDR1. And for RDR2 to srop in price significantly
RDR1 is on PC already!

I want to grab mgsv when it drops below $20. $20 for a 2015 title feels a bit steep.
Titanfall 3. Took a while but it was worth every single moment that the devs spent polishing it.
Still hurts, why are you like this?
I’m still waiting for the right sale price to buy Cyberpunk 2077
I guess KSA (successor of KSP). Still in dev.
only just got bg3
too early
Elden Ring. Every time I get close to buying it, something else has a better sale. One of these days though…
Final Fantasy vii, just bought it on gog. I think I first saw screenshots of it in a PC magazine almost 30 years ago.
Enjoy it, it’s an incredible game.
Nobody mentioned Megaman X Corrupted? Really?
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. I am a big classic mythology nerd, but I got Valhalla as a present and I want to finish it first, yet life keeps getting in the way.
Half-Life 3.
I’m still waiting, Gabe. No pressure. You do your thing.
Skyrim. I’ll play it one day I swear.
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.
Thank you, Nordic Souls does look pretty great. I’ll jot that down for the future!
Modded skyrim is one of my favorite games, vanilla skyrim is just… meh.
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.
10 hours? I’ve been at this for over a week (of total time spread across 6 weeks).
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 nuked mine when I made the switch to Linux 😂
Not worth it
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.
Yep, same.
