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

People missed the point of this, its games that you waited for after release, not games you waited to release.
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.
I’m just now getting into it. It is so so so good.
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.
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.
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.
