    Pretty much same here. I am a patient gamer, with very few exceptions. Like some Nintendo games, or something highly anticipated (like Helldivers 2 - though I had to postpone buying it)

      I’m an extreme patient gamer. I haven’t bought a Nintendo/new Nintendo game in a decade. And if I wait long enough, they become remakes/bundles that I also don’t buy! And by that time, their games used is super cheap!

      Last year, I finally played through all of the Wii Zeldas.

      And five years ago, played through all the N64/GAMECUBE/handheld Zeldas!

      I can’t wait to play Breath of the Wild in 2027.

        I, too, am a patient gamer, the last game I bought on release date was Child of Eden back over a decade ago.

        console games, particularly the Nintendo ones can be a gamble, though, you have to find the sweet spot for the prices to not be going up again due to retro collectors

        Well, with the speed my backlog is increasing, I may reach your level in a few years. There are many games released in 2023 that I may not get around to playing before 2027. 😀
