patientgamers

It has been a while since the last one. So…...

Other than a slew of Nintendo titles that maybe hopefully will come down in price (the patient gamers’ bane), I have my eye on the next time Divinity: Original Sin 2 goes on sale. A friend who never plays anything other than WoW loved playing Larian’s newest with me and I’m trying to get her to pick this up. Pretty sure...

I played a fair bit of GTA Vice City back in the day round friends’ houses, but never played all the way through. Mostly just ran people over, got as many stars as possible and died. Don’t get me wrong… I had a blast… but recently thought I’d play through the whole thing....

I’m not sure if this counts as a “patient gamer” because I played them to death years ago…but I’ve been playing both again recently and they’re just perfect little games with a ton of replayability. They’re not retro (FTL 2012, ITB 2018) but they’re old enough to regularly go on sale which is great!...

So I finally started it....

What’s the best game deal you ever got?...

I love the original patientgamers subreddit so I was stoked to find this community. And because lemmy seems to have a more knowledgeable crowd any topic I posted here had great engagement and discussions, despite the small community. I am too busy to be a mod but maybe I can help by sparking this discussion: what would be needed...

Alas, the live service, bane of the patient gamer....

I picked up a Vita recently. So far, Gravity Rush is the only game that I definitely want to play. Any other recommendations? I’m pretty open with genres, as long as it’s something with a story.

Mirror’s Edge - This is a game I’ve been meaning to play for some time. A few years back I played the first couple of levels on a friend’s PS3 and recalled it being a fun experience. So when it went on sale for under £2 on Steam I couldn’t say no. It holds up exceptionally well for a game from 2008! The stylised...

So two-part question here:...

TL;DR This game is still really funny with crude humor that mostly holds up and gameplay that doesn’t disappoint. Its showing some age but not enough to get in the way of the fun. If you’re a fan of movies from around the year 2001, this is a must play....

This game is about to be 4 years old but i finally got around to playing it. I am floored by this game, i couldn’t put it down. I love the new combat style, the cut scenes are great how they just roll straight from the gameplay and back. The music, holy shit, the music. Every track is a banger and makes the fights and story...

A friend of mine was a gamer many years ago but hasn’t been gaming in a while. They run a Mac and I run a PC. What are some good patient games we can play together?

I’ve missed this series for a long time, and I’ll never forgive Epic for dropping it like a baby giraffe....

See my Banjo-Kazooie review here...

It’s kind of sad that one of the greatest video game series is on hold for now....

Ico is lesser known/underrated because it’s the spitirual “prequel” to shadow of the colossus. The game first released on PS2, but you can play it on PS3 from The Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Collection which is a HD version of both games on a single disc....

I decided to try this game, almost 4 years after the PC release and 5 years after the PS release. To me it felt like this game got released a year ago, truly a patient gamer....

Top 10-25 games articles are all the same and obvious. Are there some less known or even obscure games, including bad-that-it’s-good ones, we can have fun with? What’s your experience with them? Bonus points if you played via an emulator.

I want to make a case for Saints Row IV: it is my go-to relaxing game. I have it installed on my PS4. The game has a GTA-esque setting and gameplay style, but where GTA is a clever satire of the real world, SR IV doesn’t concern itself with the limits of reality: in fact, You play as the President of the US (with super-powers)...

I was writing this out on my local !letstalkaboutgames and realised I was basically making a patient gamers post, so here’s a copy and paste:...

I know we’re already in February, but what are you looking forward to playing this year?...

Lost Odyssey is a JRPG that started as a collaboration between Final Fantasy grandfather Hironobu Sakaguchi’s independent studio Mistwalker and Microsoft for the Xbox 360. With a script written by Sakaguchi himself, it’s a by-the-numbers entry in the genre but with an inspired idea to insert a collection of short stories...
