Patient Gamers
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.

Same, but I'm maybe a little disappointed in how much horse riding I'm doing...
Man I'm bothered by how fun this game can make riding a damn horse. I care about her a lot more than some boosted convertible. I missed the suggestion in the beginning of the game that I wasn't meant to keep the draft horse but fuck that he climbs mountains like he's from Skyrim.
When you upgrade Arthur’s tent (after first upgrading Dutch’s), you unlock fast travel.
I unlocked fast travel and don't even use it
What I started doing if I have to cross the entire map and don’t wanna ride the whole way is just plop down, set up my tent, and fast travel from there.
If you have to ride your horse you can set a waypoint and turn the cinematic camera on. It’ll basically auto-navigate for you and looks cool while you’re doing it.
Such an amazing game. The scope of the world!
It was the second game I played after getting back into gaming during the pandemic, and it’s not an exaggeration to say it’s sort of spoiled me for other games.
I don’t think we’ll see it’s like again for a long time.
Favourite game of all time. Gorgeous looking and jaw dropping plot. Only complaint is I find the gunfights a bit samey.
Absolutely gorgeous game. Sometimes makes you want to stop playing and just look at it for a second and take it all in
The cinematic mode on demand at basically all times is such a perfect touch.
I'm still confusing Outer Wilds and Outer Worlds.
I've played the spaceship one but not the ehhhhh — well... not the rpg one.
That's Worlds! They came out around a similar time too. Very confusing.
I just picked it up on sale too. Haven't played it yet, just got the updates installed on my Xbox series X. When there's two discs you know it's gonna be a huge game.
I would count RDR2 as the last great AAA game we will see for a long time. Every thing else is eathera rushed peice of dogshit that needs a million patchs to work or is an indie open world survival game with zero content.
I think RDR2 is an amazing game but I don't agree with the rest of your statement. I think there are a lot of games out there that are very meaningful to people. I really like Street Fighter 6, as an example of a AAA title that isn't "dogs hit". No hate on your perspective but it's OK to relax and take in what people make, not set a big expectation of what you think a AAA game should be.
Bugs on release is a fair criticism, but games have gotten incredibly more complex, quickly, since the 64 days.
I also recently got RDR2 on sale. Definitely worth the wait.
I'm so envious of your ability to experience Arthur and the gang for the first time around. Such a brilliant game, enjoy!
Once I got over the slow controls, it grabbed me for 200 hours :)
Every now and again i try to get into it,but i just can't get over clunky controls to immerse myself. I know if i could just endure few hours probably it would be worth it, but just can't. So little time for so many games.
It is so worth it. I'm not really bothered by clunky controls personally at this point as I just feel like if you are playing with controller then most AAA titles are clunky to control at this point. But I do absolutely see where you are coming from and could even see the argument that RDR2 is a bit worse in that regard than most.
But holy hell is it worth it. I really think that it is the deepest game I have ever played. World building, story, character writing, cinematography, humor, self awareness, difficulty and fun. Its absolutely phenomenal, and I had high expectations going in.
Please do yourself a favor and push through the control schemes. There's so much to love there.
