Which game have you been the most patient for (as in, delaying purchase)?
For me, it would have to be GTA V. I stopped playing games for years, then built a new rig in 2018. Since then I’ve played through GTA IV (well, I beat the story, and it was amazing), but I never played GTA V.
My plan is to purchase it and start playing it the day GTA VI is released, as I have enough other games to get through in the meantime.


For what it’s worth, the final version of Civ V with the expansions is for me the best game in the franchise, even better than Civ IV. Maybe you should give it another chance.
I’ve been playing Civ games since III shortly before IV came out and they all seem to follow this pattern. VI was a mess on release, but now it’s actually pretty good though not as good as V.
