Patient Gamers

I purchased outer wilds and soma… haven’t touched them.

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 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.

Waiting for an eventual Elden Ring + all DLCs sale, whenever that (may) happen

I'm not a big CRPG guy but all this talk about Balder's Gate has definitely sparked my interests, that said there's three or four games coming out in the next month that I'd much more likely to enjoy (Trine, Lies of P, LOTF and Starfield) so I'll hold off and wait for a price reduction.

I've been waiting for tears of the kingdom. I know the game won't go on sale by a lot, so I'll just wait for a good deal at my local swap meet.

Starfield is honestly the only new game that mildly interests me (ES6 is years away still), and I'm holding out on that one until 1.) a GPU that can run it smoothly at 2,5k with no DLSS/FSR shenanigans costs 500€ or less so I can actually afford it; 2.) script extender comes out and lays the framework for not just mods, but amazing mods; 3.) the ongoing thargoid war reaches its conclusion and wraps up and doesn't immediately lead to rogue guardian AI showing up or Empire and Federation throwing themselves into mutual assured destruction or whatever.

On the other hand, if Starfield won't have HOTAS support, I'll probably put it on hold indefinitely and try out Star Citizen instead, if I ever get bored of Elite. Maybe pick it up when it's 10€ on a sale in half a decade. Fallout 3 didn't turn out to be my cup of tea, after all, and Starfield may fall in the same category. And this is fine.

Pathfinder WOTR - they still have like 2 DLCs planned to release

I'm still waiting on Star Wars Jedi: Survivor to go on sale. I refuse to pay full price, months after release, for a game that seemed to have a few performance issues on release, plus it's an EA game. I also have a bit of a backlog of games I'm still playing, so I'm in no rush to buy a new game at the moment.

Honestly in the indie area, it's not recent, but Blade Kitten. Spotted that on Steam and remembered having fun with it on my Xbox 360 long ago. Real cheap at 3$.

But I need to finish more indie games First! So it will be a reward once I finish Protodroid Delta. Which would've been a lot easier if it had cloud support so I could play it on my Steam Deck without restarting the game, but nooo

BG3 like most people and I'll hold of on Starfield for a few months to see how it held up against the hype.

Dark and Darker, it's out on Chaff games but with their legal troubles I'm not sure I wanna give them my money and risk the game getting taken down again.

Does Starfield count? I know it's not out yet but I have no plans to get it until/unless it starts getting near universal praise for quality and stability.

Waiting for Elden ring to go on sale. Have enough games to keep me busy at the moment. But I'm getting there almost done with the Dark souls series.

Aliens Dark Descent!

Granblue Fantasy Versus since they're coming out with Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising in November. I'm not in a rush since I have Street Fighter 6, and Guilty Gear Strive had a big update recently as well.
