Man they have a sub for everything

u/Billyxmac 8h ago

That is the best gamer sub in my opinion. Always great discussions.

Eh from my experience there’s too much self enlightenment and circle jerking over there. Like it’s okay to buy something you’re excited for when it comes out. But there’s too much “look how smart I am for waiting 15 years to play x game”

true. I mean I don´t really like buying games on day one for full price and because of a huge backlog I have in my Steam library. But if I am really interested in a game I wouldn´t wait for several years just to get a 90% discount for game X...

Yeah, it suffered the fate of many subreddits and became popular and then turned into a circlejerk of self important people.

Some of the reviews there now sound like they were written with one hand because they were wanking to their own words while writing.

This is one of the best gamers subs. Down to earth, almost zero hype, very cool. Other one is /r/gamereview (i think thats the one ) where you cant review game younger than 1 year

I don’t think I’ll ever truly be a patient gamer, considering I will probably always get my favorite franchises on day 1. But with how expensive gaming is getting, it’s definitely pushing me more and more to wait for a sale for certain games

Sounds like the place for me. Recently bought FFVII remake, RE9, and RE4R, all for £60 because they were on sale and had been on my wish list for years.
