How long have you waited to get it? Was it worth it?

I played Destiny 2 when it came out, but then they kept releasing more and more DLC and expansions I didn’t feel like buying for how little content there was. My plan was to simply wait until the entirety of the game was released so I could buy the rest of everything in a single purchase and play it all.
I think I heard recently they have been actually removing old content so this plan no longer makes sense.
Yea, the download size was getting too big (or they couldn’t be bothered QA-ing new gear with old content) so they started deleting old stuff.
Means if you start playing now you can’t play the story from the beginning which seems pretty terrible to me.
The Outer Worlds. Would have been the last game to date that I’d had pre-ordered, but they went Epic exclusive, so I decided to be patient and wait for the Steam release. Year goes by and it releases for Steam, but at original launch price. Decide I’m not willing to pay full price for a game I had to wait extra for.
Now it’s turned into a game of seeing it go on sale and remarking, “Come on guys, you can do better than that.”
Death Stranding. Completely forgot about the game until I got it in humble monthly, and… Damn it was worth playing. In retrospective, I’d have been happy dropping 60 on it. I thought going in it’d be boring gameplay for a weird story, but the gameplay was actually REALLY FUN and the story was weord.
+1. It’s one of those games that got better overtime. When it came out in 2019 there were people like, “Really? A hiking / Amazon Prime simulator?”
But after the Pandemic, the isolation and theme of yearning connections really hit home, and the entire design and philosophy just clicked and worked for me. I started appreciate everything about the game. I think Hideo Kojima even said he’s going to try and not predict the future in Death Stranding 2 😄
I waited four years for breath of the wild, and when I finally played it, it was like I was playing an entire new genre. Like I was playing ocarina of time for the first time and the world seemed endlessly exciting. Except this time I could climb mountains and paraglide.
I’m just now getting into it. It is so so so good.
Oh awesome. Yeah I’m so glad I waited, because the game seemed, in addition to everything I mentioned just so smooth when I finally played it. I would just run in a direction for easily like 15 minutes and then just climb a mountain for another 15 minutes. After 30 minutes of that" game time," I was as satisfied with the experiences I was with almost any other game haha, even though I had done basically nothing. It’s just pretty and fun and engaging.
I waited a while for sekiro. Finally broke down and got it on sale after it had been on my wishlist for 2 years.
I found it too challenging, even as a fan of their other games, it just didn’t click. Finally I hit a wall on some enemy who I couldn’t kill and gave up. Sad cuz I really wanted to like it.
World of warcraft. I’d been playing the games since warcraft 1. My parents wouldn’t pay for my subscription so had to wait years to get it after release. 100% worth it. Amazing game back in the day.
Diablo 3 and 4. 3 was kinda worth it. 4 not so much.
StarCraft2 and hell yeah. Loved it.
Skyrim, again definitely.
Fallout 4. Despite some things lacking I thought it was awesome.
Seven kingdoms conquest. Was very shit.
I was playing Guild Wars back in the days and I remember trying the free trial of WoW. At the end of it, I decided against getting a subscription, knowing how many hours I’d sink in the game. Truely a masterpiece.
Yeah I wasted most of my teens on it haha
Got bored after wotlk but it was fun while it lasted.
Having to resist getting wotlk classic right now!
2002: Kingdom Hearts … 2005: Kingdom Hearts II … 2019: Kingdom Hearts III
14 years!
Love the kingdom hearts games but never had a console as a kid. I always had DS’s tho so I played the shit out of 358/2 days, re:coded, and Dream Drop Distance. Still haven’t played 1, 2, or 3 yet. Well I played a little of one and two at a friends house but not all the way through
IDK, probably Mass Effect? I just got Mass Effect Legendary this year and I’ve been playing it, and it’s fantastic! I didn’t hear about it at release for some reason, and I had heard the game was great, but decided to wait to see if they’d remaster it or something. They did, but it was too expensive, so I held off.
I eventually got it for ~$15 on a Steam sale and about 6 months later, here I am playing it. And yes, it’s worth it, the game runs fantastically on my Steam Deck and it’s a ton of fun.
My main reason for being patient is to get the best experience (fewer bugs, all DLC, etc), not just to save money, and I think I got it at the right time. My coworker is also playing through it for the first time, so I have someone to talk to about it.
Probably Duke Nukem Forever. I told myself that if it were ever $1, I’d buy it.
Then it was in the $1 tier of a Humble Bundle. Gonna be honest, still not really worth it, I don’t think. Never finished it, didn’t really think it was that fun.
Pretty sure it’ll be the latest God of war when it finally releases for PC somewhere next year?
Skyrim, and yes it was. Got it on disconnected in a pack with Prey for €19, so that was excellent value for money.
I only played the first Half-Life about 6 months ago despite having friends who grew up playing it. Well worth the wait, it was fantastic (I played Black Mesa to be fair, not the original Half-Life, but I’ve heard they’re near identical). That’s definitely my longest. The main other one is Dark Souls, I’ve been wanting to play it since it came out and only started it a month ago. I’ve played DS3, Elden Ring, and Sekiro, but this is my first time with DS1.
I’m still waiting for Silk Song, if that counts.
Morrowind would be my choice, since there was almost a decade long gap between when i first wanted to play the game and when i actually played it. it didn’t reach my expectations but that doesnt matter that much to me since i still really liked that game. i didn’t finish it in my first playthrough, but i did once i got around to doing my second
Dark Souls trilogy, waited a long long time to try it out due to the memes of the brutal difficulty.
When DS remastered came out, I finally took the plunge and am now a through enjoyer of souls games. They are difficult, but fair (as long as you’re not doing pvp lol)
