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.

Are you holding off on any game in particular right now? (lemmy.world)

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

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.

BG3 too Bust mostly cause of the two things I saw

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.
