Are you a patient gamer?
There's no magazine on any instance that I see of such a community on the topic matter. To anyone not familiar, a patient gamer is someone who is immune to FOMO, doesn't get caught up or tied up with current modern gaming. Someone who doesn't care that they've beaten a game from 1996 and here it is 2024. Someone who doesn't care...
I’m almost 60 hours into factorio’s space age expansion that just came out out 10 days ago.
That being said, factorio is notorious for never once having gone on sale.
The only other game I play launch day for is path of exile expansions.
Everything else I buy later on sale.
It’s that pricing model which has consistently kept me away. Lots of people like it, and it’s supposed to be really fun, but it’s not the only fun factory builder out there.
I’d rather get a good deal, and I’ve never (re)played a solo game for anywhere close to the thousands of hours some people have played Factorio. I might be missing out, but I can buy an entire bundle of games for that price and still have money leftover.
And that’s what some people have said. I’ll play the demo tonight, but even for lots of fun, I can think of other ways to spend $35, as that’s a large sum for me.
But who knows? Maybe it will knock my socks off.
I always rate my games on price per your played, rather than just total cost.
Factorio is one of my cheapest games ever.
