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.

I suppose Baldur's Gate 3 could be an example for a lot of people. Any recent or just "recent" release you are waiting for to get at the moment?

I'm a big Larian fan and D&D enjoyer, so I made an exception for BG3 since I knew I'd be sinking hundreds of hours easily into that game :P

I just picked up Moonlighter for like 3 bucks so that's my next adventure.

Cyberpunk 2077 comes to mind with the Phantom Liberty DLC being around the corner. Also waiting out on Starfield to see how it goes, Fallout 3 and New Vegas have a special place in my heart but Bethesda has had a lot of misses for me since then.

Not one that’s already out, but I am anticipating the cyberpunk expansion and starfield. Especially the latter will be hard to be patient on if it’s anything close to what is promised so far.

BG3 too Bust mostly cause of the two things I saw

  1. A couple years ago, the intro cinematic, which was a tentacle spaceship flown by cuthulu
  2. And the beastiality "joke"

The game made it kinda easy for me to be patient for the inevitable "GOTY" edition

I bought and downloaded BG3, but I'm waiting to play it until I have the mental energy to really dig into it.

Out of choice? Because silksong is kind of doing its own thing.

I bought and played Diablo 4 but got bored. Waiting for Blizzard to enhance the end game / seasons so they’re more interesting/on or with D3.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3. I played the first one on 3DS then Switch. I'm not playing 3 until I start then finish 2 and the expansion.

Hogwarts Legacy for me. I've watched a friend play it on PS5, and it looks really cool. I'm considering getting it on Steam while it's on sale, but I'm guessing it will be the same discount when the autumn sale comes along.

So many great games I'm going to be waiting on until they go on sale:

  • Wukong
  • Lies of P
  • Starfield
  • Armored Core 6
  • Eiyuden Chronicle
  • Baldur's Gate 3
  • A million little games that have just gotten out of early access on Steam
