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?

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

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.

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.

That's my usual approach for Bethesda games. After about six months, the community will have made some much-needed quality of life mods, and Bethesda will peobably have fixed any major performance issues or game-breaking, savefile-bricking bugs.

And this is supposed to be a huge game, so there will be a few serious issues as a matter of course.

Aliens Dark Descent!

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.

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.

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
