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...

I know this isn’t strictly related to patient gaming, but I think it fits the ethos of this community and I can’t think of a better choir to preach to....

I want to tell you about an often overlooked game that I really enjoyed my time with....

I finished Control last week, likely the best game to marry a creepy funhouse with a sprawling government office that you’ll ever play. I was up and down on this one for a few months. There’s a fun narrative and plenty of atmosphere, but I wasn’t always enjoying the gameplay....

I played Resident Evil when I was a child on the starting on the PS1 with Resident Evil 3. I fell in love with this series and played all the games....

Tell us what game you are currently, or recently played, greater than 6+ months old....

I have a lot of respect for developers who bring new ideas and game modes and are thus keeping such a great game alive

Are there games that you tried but just couldn’t get into because they feel outdated? Games that, in theory, you would enjoy, but don’t because the controls, graphics, writing, or mechanics just don’t feel good anymore. Games that, compared to today, just don’t hold up to your standards....

TL;DR This game is awesome and you should consider playing it if you haven’t and you like retro games from this era or if you like similar collectathon games....

Hi guys, A very happy new year!!...

I have a huge backlog of free giveaway games, because I have less time for playing than I think I do and because I never know if I’ll be able to play a game or if it’ll be too visually challenging - my username is both literal and relevant....

I’ve played the game around seven years ago for the first time on my laptop and enjoyed my time a lot. Back when I got my first PS4 around a year later (2017ish), I got the game on there too but ended up not playing the game at all because I couldn’t get used to the controller gameplay....

I really enjoy time loop games where the player can explore and there’s a story, and isn’t just a puzzle game. I played Outer Wilds a few years ago and I loved everything about it, it’s my favorite in the genre....

I googled it, and the top result wanted to download/install a PuP.

8AM PT, 11AM ET....

So this isn’t directly related to patientgaming but my hardware and personal tastes kind of filter me to playing games no newer than five years old....

This game has a pretty interesting premise with a story centered around cults and the Cthulhu legend. I don’t know much about either so I was intrigued and since I received this game in a bundle some time ago, I wanted to give it a shot. The game is narratively focused so I’ll talk mostly about theme, art, and story as I go....

Hey everybody! My wife and I have recently been playing Destiny 2. It’s excellent imo and both of us are having tons of fun, except for one little detail…...

Back on the other website, there used to be a sub called r/12in12 where people would try to beat 12, 24, 36+ games per year. I never really set myself any specific target like that, but the end of year reviews were always fun to read/write. Considering that I don’t think a single game I beat came out this year, I think this is...

Might not be a game worth playing, even for free, based on the various scummy actions Bungie has done to it over time (what I heard was grind-heavy events, content that people paid for deleted, the vanilla game and plot experience for newcomers making no sense). However, if it was ever on your radar of interest, now would be a...

After several months I’ve eventually finished this game. I’ve played other ‘mixed-genre’ visual novels before (Danganronpa, Persona and Ace Attorney for example) and generally enjoyed them. And yes, I did find 13 Sentinels interesting and fun to play for the most part. I’d definitely recommend trying it....

This might sound a bit random, but Cyberpunk 2077 has this sort of warmup sound that plays through the game startup sequence that always gets me relaxed or psyched up to play. Another example is the title song in Trails from Zero. Calms me every time....

I’ve just replayed Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, and I think this video sums up quite well why 2 wasn’t quite as good as the original. It’s more than it just being more of an expansion than a sequel, it’s the little bits that make it feel a bit more special.
