One of the advantages of being a patient gamer for sure. Shoutout to !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works
Doesn’t that mean that for you the wait is even longer?
You’re not getting it on release date like most people, you’ll get it at least a year later.
By the time I get to playing a series usually several games in that series have come out. I usually play games that are 5+ years old, I don’t have time to keep up with current releases and that’s more expensive anyway. Playing on a multi-year delay keeps me away from over-hype of game releases and by the time I play them they’re patched, have all dlc, whatever else is applicable. I don’t do it for every game obviously but it’s my typical way of buying games
Play like a dead franchise like parasite Eve or syphon filter or something. They're moderately short only a few sequels and you're done.
That’s a good point too. I like that idea
And every question, plot - wise has been answered, and every guide has been made. No more getting stuck waiting for the answers. Hi
Very true
