I play a lot of SP player games but stories are too dumb to pay attention to. I read books for stories.

Well there genres of videogames that are basically fancy e-books

I don't play multiplayer so easy peasy to be patient. I'm still on my PS3 backlog.

I don’t have time to play things on release. Very few games anyhow that I can justify the cost at full price when I know they will usually drop quickly.

Why on earth would I want to pay full price for something when I can get it for cheaper. It’s the publishers responsibility to convince me, not mine to keep the industry afloat.

Me as well but since i have no extra monies, Would love to play anything day 1, but Game Pass helps.

 

[Rush2112]

Yes but they don’t market to patient gamers. They market to 90% of this board who will follow the hype no matter what.

I agree with this, except for sports games

FIFA/Madden is a day 1 buy for me

 

[Crayon]

All agreed.

But if there's a game that excites me enough to pay full price, I call that a win.

This wasn’t true some years ago but absolutely is these days. I almost never buy games at launch anymore, I don’t mind waiting a few months or even a few years.

Being a patient X is the best way to Y.

Try to find something that doesn't work.

Being a patient rock is the best way to roll.

It works!

Being a patient painter is the best way to fap.
Being a patient bitch is the best way to shit.
Being a patient incel victory is the best way to rare.
Being a patient pencil is the best way to Pencilvester.

Considering a lot of tripple A games are buggy as hell on release, it is good advice just to wait until it is cheap.

Ubisoft seems to actually bank on this.

I don't buy many games anymore, so for the few I do buy I don't mind getting them day 1. Like this year I was glad to support Stellar Blade and Astro Bot at full price. The other two I bought (Rebirth and Space Marine 2) were decent enough. Though in hindsight I should have skipped Space Marine 2 but my friend convinced me to get it for co-op (only for us to play it like 3 times lol).

It I can't get to know online before everyone how can I call them noobs

If you wait 2-3 years you won't see a lot of spoilers unless you actively start digging in the archives. Discussion dies fast.
