A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

So this isn't directly related to patientgaming but my hardware and personal tastes kind of filter me to playing games no newer than five years old.

I'm looking for some recommendations for games that can be completed within ten hours. I've realized recently that this is the sweet spot how much I enjoy playing a game before I get bored of it. I'm open to all types of games. Thanks in advance!

I'm playing through the original metal gear solid and it has a pretty good pacing that keeps things fresh while also being a short game. I think you can beat it in about 10-12 hours depending on how much you call in your codec to get extra dialog if you want.

Vs MGS 4 packing in a LITERAL full feature length movie.

Mgs 2 and 3 are also about 5 or 6 hours each if you skip the cutscenes.
