How long have you waited to get it? Was it worth it?

    Starbound. Waited years while it was in development, and my buddies and I just let the hype build and build. When it finally came out, it wasn’t even close to worth it. At the time, it still seemed like something that would eventually get to where we hoped (or at least for the most part), but picking it up every few months/years showed us the dev team’s ideas were great on paper, but they just weren’t capable of implementing any of it well.

    More recently, I’ve seen YouTube docs that have gone into the awful development and bad treatment of young developers who weren’t paid, and fired after they caught on that they never would be.

    On the bright side, it gave my friends and I a new appreciation for how great Terraria is, and why it’s similar features work so well when Starbound’s didn’t

    I waited four years for breath of the wild, and when I finally played it, it was like I was playing an entire new genre. Like I was playing ocarina of time for the first time and the world seemed endlessly exciting. Except this time I could climb mountains and paraglide.

        Oh awesome. Yeah I’m so glad I waited, because the game seemed, in addition to everything I mentioned just so smooth when I finally played it. I would just run in a direction for easily like 15 minutes and then just climb a mountain for another 15 minutes. After 30 minutes of that" game time," I was as satisfied with the experiences I was with almost any other game haha, even though I had done basically nothing. It’s just pretty and fun and engaging.

    As an oldschool GM for the Cyberpunk 2022 P&P Roleplaying game I was immediately hooked when CD Projekt Red announced the video game of Cyberpunk 2077. Despite the initial bugs, I enjoyed it. A lot. Probably the only game so far for which I got all achievements. Now patiently waiting for the Phantom Liberty DLC.

    Hellooooo Night City!
