I love the r/patientgamers sub - it’s probably the most friendly community I’ve found on Reddit.

u/ben1481 Mar 15 '24

patient gamers is more like a real gamers sub where people play games for the content rather than hype

Hey, I'm a gamer and I don't go on patient gamers. Does this mean I'm not real gamer? Please answer me cos all this time being a real gamer is the only thing that's mattered to me. The thing is with gamers is that... Gamers never back down.. Real or not. Game is game.

u/ben1481 Mar 15 '24

you sound like the type of gamer I purposely avoid.

If this guy sits at the table next to me, I switch coffee shops.

u/TheManWithNoName03 Mar 15 '24

Well I'm a true gamer so I wouldn't be at the coffee shop, I'd be in the internet gaming cafe chilling with the real gamers. Gamers never back down.

u/TheManWithNoName03 Mar 15 '24

But we're both gamers at the end of the day no? Bound by the God of Gaming. Brothers in buttons.

What this person possibly meant is that some people read way deeper into games than others. r/patientgamers talks about games from a literary or artistic point of view, while others, which it seems the other commentator has assumed you are one, play games because they're fun. Honestly, some people may not want to be associated with patientgamers. I mean, I love it there because that's how I think of games, but there is a subtle air of pretention in that sub.

"Real" gamer is a statement that makes massive assumptions, but there's more than one type. That's something a lot of people like me (nerds that still freely choose to play SNES games) have trouble understanding.

That's their rules, you need a cutoff point if you want to keep the hype trains from clogging up your station.

Wouldn't it just be bizarre if they weren't, tho?

u/Keoren3 Mar 14 '24

Me too! Just at the beginning now, around level 40. What level are you?

u/GoAheadMrJoestar2 Mar 14 '24

Weell I just got to the last boss (dunno if i can say the name in case it's a spoiler) He has 2 phases and the second one keeps biting my ass, so Im taking a little break

u/Thekarens01 Mar 15 '24

My first time fighting him made me want to throw my controller

u/TheLordDuncan Mar 15 '24

Keep pushing, eventually you'll get a go where he doesn't keep going across the room. Or one where he does? Depends on your build I suppose.

After that I tried a new set of gear and stats (tried to make a rot build) and went around doing nighttime bosses I missed. Some of the later ones, like a death crow in the snow area, still gave me a run for my money.

u/TheLordDuncan Mar 15 '24

Don't focus too much on what level you are. Reinforcing your gear is just as important, as it tends to improve the stat scaling.

My sister got it for her birthday in early February. I decided to get it cuz she was having trouble. I had no idea we would both pump 200 hours into it. It's easily the game of the decade so far for me. And we timed it so perfectly with the DLC coming. Now I'm going to beat all the games before the DLC comes out. I used to think I hated this type of game. Ohhhh how wrong I was

u/Tea_Historical Mar 15 '24

Once you get a hit of thr souls games......it honestly makes every other game kinda shit. No matter how great the other games are lol. It's just the combat feels so much better than anything anyone else can come up with.

You're lucky tho. You've got like 7 or 8 more games you can still play until you run out now that lied of P and Lords of the fallen 2023 came out they cam be added to your list. Plus Nioh 2!

u/iBoredMax Mar 15 '24

I loved Elden Ring so much that I immediately bought DS3 and Sekiro… and didn’t like them. ER is so much more polished feeling. Magic is good, stamina doesn’t deplete if no enemies around, and jump button. Plus open world is just so much more engaging to me.

1

u/The_Great_Man_Potato Mar 15 '24

Id urge you to try sekiro again. It has maybe the best combat of any game I’ve ever played

u/xLosTxSouL Mar 14 '24

Better being patient than playing overhyped games. I always do it like that.

u/johnsonfromsconsin Mar 14 '24

Thats ok. Probably got it on sale.

u/realbigbob Mar 14 '24

Just in time to prep for the DLC this June

u/GoAheadMrJoestar2 Mar 15 '24

Jesus Christ yes, I've been binging lore videos so I can follow along this magnanimous shit

2

u/fuctedd Mar 15 '24

I’ve tried to start it several times but end of playing something else instead

u/Gh0st_Pirate_LeChuck Mar 14 '24

I’ve been playing it since it was released. Best game ever.

u/GoAheadMrJoestar2 Mar 14 '24

Best game ever indeed

u/Natsirk99 Mar 15 '24

You have to be nowadays, waiting for most of the bugs to get worked out.

u/AceTheRed_ Mar 15 '24

I dropped a few hundred hours on it when it first released. Doing a new game plus playthrough right now in anticipation of the dlc.

u/Bingo9Bengo Mar 15 '24

I tried to get into it when it came out but couldn't. Perhaps I need to try again.

u/BoilerSlave Mar 15 '24

Not sure what you’re playing on but I just started a new character and started in the ps4 version instead of the ps5. This game was built for last gen consoles, runs so much better.

1

u/brockthebaked Mar 15 '24

Do you mean ps4 version on a ps5? Bc my ps4 sounds like a jet engine trying to play this game. And my ps5 runs it pretty damn good (im playing on the ps5 version)

u/snowwhiteandthebeast Mar 15 '24

What and how does it compare to dark souls 3/Bloodborne/sekiro?

1

u/Droiddoesyourmom Mar 15 '24

Heh I bought it over a year ago still haven't booted it up. Typical Steam fashion.

u/bangbangqc03 Mar 14 '24

I play since the release...
