Does it count as being patient with Baldur’s Gate 3 if I ignored everything about it during Early Access and bought it a day after the official, finalized, release? 🤔
I remember seeing nothing but hate when it first came out in EA and thought it was just another reboot flop. 3 years later, and it’s the best fucking RPG in over a decade. Not sure if those initial players were overzealous, or if 3 years development time made the difference. Possibly a bit of both.
Patient usually means years after release. Generally, the benefit is getting it with a heavy discount or having hardware better suited to run it (again for the reduced price). Also tends to weed out bad games that get hyped up and gives you the benefit of others’ hindsight with reviews.
Considering “release day” to be patient just normalizes incomplete games being the typical product.

Yeah, considering they’re not even done with all the post launch patches yet it’s not a patient gamer game.
