People missed the point of this, its games that you waited for after release, not games you waited to release.

The Outer Worlds. Would have been the last game to date that I’d had pre-ordered, but they went Epic exclusive, so I decided to be patient and wait for the Steam release. Year goes by and it releases for Steam, but at original launch price. Decide I’m not willing to pay full price for a game I had to wait extra for.

Now it’s turned into a game of seeing it go on sale and remarking, “Come on guys, you can do better than that.”

Yakuza 0. Had a PS4, but wanted to play it on the PC instead so kept waiting hoping it would be ported to the PC. It later then did and I waited longer for a price drop and it ended up showing up on a Humble Bundle so finally snatched it years later.

It was worth the wait. Very enjoyable and I did all the side quests. Cabaret club was an amazing part of the game.

Death Stranding. Completely forgot about the game until I got it in humble monthly, and… Damn it was worth playing. In retrospective, I’d have been happy dropping 60 on it. I thought going in it’d be boring gameplay for a weird story, but the gameplay was actually REALLY FUN and the story was weord.
