For me is it starfield. I am a bit to hyped up for it. I will try to wait a year or more. Just like I did for cyberpunk and I was hyped for that game since the first trailer haha
if you wait that long then stuff that is still buggy usually have a mod that fix it.
Same here. Any Bethesda game deserves time to simmer for a good while before playing in my opinion.
I would wait on Starfield myself and wait for mods, but considering it's part of gamepass, I see no reason to not give it a fair shake, especially since I have a few more months of gamepass I got gifted. I do however plan on buying the game like a year or two from now (or maybe ten, if Skyrim is anything to go on) on Steam to do another modded playthrough
Oh so many!
I've a huge backlog that I'm chipping through one by one, and thse games are only going to get better with patches or cheaper with sales, I can wait for that and reduce my backlog at the same time :D
Bout cyberpunk 2077 for $20 three months ago.
Still buggy. It was okay. Lots of boring combat. But the story, acting, and world? Amazing! I had to use a mod to help change some of the hotkeys.
After 25 hours... Update broke my save.
Id say keep waiting until 2025 when the GoTY is released and fanpatches exist.
Starfield, waiting to see how many issues it has and what actual gameplay and graphics looks like.
Yeah I'm shocked at how quick people forgot Fallout 76, and the plethora of other broken Bethesda releases.
Don't get me wrong I'd love for it to be good, but I've just been burned too many times to trust it at launch haha
I've been holding out on getting Stray for about a year now. I'm just not willing to pay full price for a relatively short game.
Same. It looks adorable but the price is a little too high for me.
I thought it was worth the $30, but I do wish it had a bit more. Like an extra Zoomies mode for timed runs or races.
I'm sure it really is worth the money but I'm a patient gamer because I'm cheap. I'd rather support a good company in other ways like buying soundtracks and swag versus getting burned on a overpriced game.
Every playstation exclusive that ends up on PC.
Those Spiderman games look SWEET. I'm super excited about Ghost of Tsushima and can't wait for it to be released in 2024, and finally play it in 2027 when it's on sale.
Starfield. Too expensive at release and likely to be buggy
Same. But add not having anything able to efficiently run it at a satisfactory level at the moment.
Starfield, Baldur‘s Gate 3, and Cyberpunk.
I‘m so tempted to just be part of the Starfield start hype but… let‘s be honest, it‘s a Bethesda game so it probably needs another year of patches and mods.
And Baldur‘s Gate seems to also require a few patches and I‘m not paying more than 40 bucks for any digital copy of a game, even if it‘s the second coming of Christ among videogames.
Cyberpunk I‘m merely waiting to have a PC that is powerful enough to play it in all its glory. So probably gotta wait half a decade lol
Obviously, on top of my mentioned reasons, it‘s not like I don‘t have 100+ untouched games dozens of them critically acclaimed, so it’s not like I’m just staring at my wall waiting for my moment to strike lol
The Expanse: A Telltale Series
I see it has been received well but I'm avoiding all details and waiting for all episodes to be released.
Tears of the Kingdom because I basically just purchased Breath of the Wild a few months ago and haven't finished it.
Baldur's Gate 3, because my friends want to play it all together and so I'm waiting for them
I am still waiting for Cyberpunk 2077 to go better than half price.
Stray as well, it seems too expensive for a short game.
For me there are a couple.
Hades (2020) - I'm not in any hurry with this one. I'd get it if GOG starts to sell it, otherwise I'll wait a bit more.
Outer Wilds (2020) - I'm getting impatient with this. I'd like this more on GOG too, but I think I'll just buy it when Steam winter sale comes.
The Guild III (2022) - quirky trade/life sim game and I have some fond memories of the second one. But that had quite a few bugs even long after release and I hear the third game still looks unfinished so I'm patient.
It's a shame that the Outer Wilds went for a timed exclusive to epic, but it did help me wait to get it!
Hades is so very good.. I don't think it will come to gog soon ish because, if I remember correct that is, epic payed a lot of bucks for it.
Just Starfield. They keep making statements that, as a long time Bethesda fan, sound ridiculous. Tell me lies, tell me sweet sweet lies, Todd. I would like to be pleasantly surprised, but I am reserving judgment for the actual release of the game.
Remember when Todd went on stage and spent 5 minutes joking about the "tell me lies" memes before lying his ass off to sell the steaming pile of shit that was Fallout 76?
I bet he's laughing his ass off at all the Starfield preorders, cupping his hands together like a Saturday morning villain and preparing to drink the tears of his customers - Granting him eternal youth.
I'm holding out on starfield. There must be a cyberpunk moment waiting right around the corner because you can't jam all that in a game and expect it to work too.
Also 80% what's out there of so called features of this game only exists inside the heads of influencers. That hopium is the real problem.
I tried holding out on armoured core. I couldn't. Glad I didn't. Amazing game. Easier then Elden ring but still very clearly a from software title.
I'm actually considering getting BG3 soon, once I get a few days to play a lot of it. It looks like a solid launch, so I'm happy to pay a bit more for something high quality. I hope they continue to work on it and maybe provide content heavy DLC at some point.
I've got Disco Elyseum, factorio, and Cyberpunk 2077 waiting for me to get into the mood to play them.
If you haven't bought Disco Elysium already, don't.
Don't misunderstand, you NEED to play it. It's an amazing game.
But even the devs themselves will tell you to pirate the game.
Saints Row. I don't see it being a possibility but I have this false hope that volition will bounce back and give a good game.
Cyberpunk 2077. Waiting for the complete police overhaul to play the game. Have not played it yet.
Factorio, waiting for the sale that will never come
Didn't the Dev say it's never going to go on sale ever? Or was that the joke and I missed it
Stray, cyberpunk and red dead 2 and forza. I'm waiting until they come down in price and it forces me to play through my backlog.
I'm savoring Baldur's Gate 3, not necessarily waiting to play it per se but not wanting to binge it. I'm planning on waiting on Starfield for at least a few months.
As always, waiting for sales.
Looking forward to Baldur's Gate 3 and its horny crazy shenanigans, Cyberpunk 2077 now that it's in better shape and I have a PC that can run it decently. Hi-Fi Rush is definitely on my list, rhythm action is a cool genre. I might go for Elden Ring if the price is good, see if I'm going to finally like a single souls games or if I'll bounce off that one too.
Still waiting for a rare chance at a 33% off on Smash Bros Ultimate and who knows Wario Ware Get It Together.
Im just waiting to get a new computer before I burn through my steam games. I havent purchased a new game in a long time. My backlog is huge!
Armored Core 6, Jedi Survivor, Starfield. Until some sale I think. I’ve already bought Elden Ring, Diablo 4, and Baldurs Gate 3 this year, and I might get another before the year ends. Gotta slow it down lol
Edit: Hogwart’s Legacy, forgot about that one.
I really want Armored Core 6 after seeing gameplay but my budget is tight right now. Also itching for BG3 but I have owned BG1 EE for years so finally playing that, and also just bought BG2 EE last night on steam for $6 so those will hopefully hold me over a while.
And then there's MK1 coming out soon but I know that'll eventually be packaged with all the Kombat packs for cheap in a few years so holding off there too.
I splurged on Baldur's Gate and have enjoyed every minute I've put in so far. I'll have to get back to Tears of the Kingdom at some point too.
But I'll be fully holding off on Armored Core, Starfield and the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection for a while.
Like many others Balders Gate 3. I am now going through the first two. Hopefully when I have completed I and II I might have a PC that can run BD3.
I'm focused on back-to-school and getting some outdoor projects done before winter. To help with that, I disassembled my PC. Once snow starts falling and (hopefully) the Adventure Mode update is released, I plan to snuggle up and finally enjoy the graphical version of Dwarf Fortress.
Well, I already have it, Quake 2. I haven't played yet cause I'm trying to get a couple friends to coop our first go.
Was in the military when Quake came out, so it's one if the few true classics I get to play now for the first time.
Tears of the Kingdom! I actually never finished Breath of the Wild, I had one more divine beast to go before I got to Ganon, but instead of finishing it I always just chose to run around Hyrule. Now I feel like I can’t start TotK until I’ve finished BotW but I don’t have any plans to finish BotW 😅
Baldur's Gate 3
Armored Core 6
Remnant 2
...and (depending on your definition of "recent") a lot more. Any of the big games coming over from PlayStation (God of War, Spider-Man), Cyberpunk, etc. I don't generally buy games for over $20, unless it's someone I want badly and it hasn't gone below that after a couple years.
BG3, Elden Ring, Armored Core 6, just to name the high profile few I'm going to wait for significant price drops in maybe 2 years.
Besides, I do want to play several other RPGs before diving into Baldur's Gate, especially Tyranny, Divinity Original Sin 1 and 2, and the Pathfinder games. Maybe also the old Neverwinter Nights, got the GOG version of them, am yet to begin a campaign
All in all, those ~5 old-ish RPGs alone can probably run me through an entire year.
Diablo 4. I’m gonna wait quite a while for this one I think. Firstly I’m not willing to pay the price it is right now but mostly because the game needs to get better. It took a long time for Diablo 3 to turn in to a decent game.
Starfield. I’ll definitely be giving this one at least a year, probably more. I’m expecting it to be riddled with bugs at release, possibly even borderline unplayable.
Diablo 4 at launch was decent. It's been downhill since. The first patch sucked. The next patch (season 1) walked back half the changes, so it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't fun. Waiting on season 2. Contemplating POE.
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.
