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.

Not sure if you know this but on the off chance, that's a deliberate choice by the devs, so it really won't ever be on sale.
Although I haven't explicitly heard anything, I kind of assumed, given the years it's been on my wishlist :D.
I'll play it one day, but Dyson Sphere is still filling that hole for me for now.
Literally every game I own is either from Fitgirl, free from epic or bought on sale
Who's Fitgirl?
Nice try Anti-P2P :P
She lives in a non-extradition country
The repacker (they don't crack anything!) that could teach a thing or two to those morons who send games with packages in the hundreds of gigabytes to users. Seriously good work.
I was recently looking at modding fallout 4. Top collection is 100+ gigs. For mods alone on a ten year old game!
Meanwhile fitgirls repack of Cyberpunk2077 is 80 gigs.
She's a repacker, she takes cracked games and repacks them into way smaller downloads, think 20Gb download for a 60Gb game.
- NieR: Automata - I'm hoping for $20, but $25 would work; I think it's about time for another price drop
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - I kind of like BotW, but not enough to jump on TotK; I want it eventually, so I'll buy it once I can find it used for $40 or so; I can wait a couple years though
- Mount & Blade: Bannerlord - looking for $20 or so; I'm thoroughly enjoying Warband so I'm in no rush
- Elden Ring - I'm not super interested, but I'd pay $20 or so to give it a shot
I'm not against paying full price for games but I need to be really interested. I'm probably going to pay full price for Cities Skylines 2 in lieu of buying more DLC for the original. If Paradox makes EUV, I'd probably buy that near launch (I have all but the latest expansion for EUIV). Likewise if there's a new Portal game.
I'm mostly a patient gamer because I don't feel all that excited following the latest trends and prefer to play a less buggy game than join a community playing something new. The discounts are nice though.
I always buy games only on sale. My rule of thumb is: if it's around 20€ it's a no-brainer. Anything above that I only buy for games that I really really want and that stay above 20€ even when on sale.
I picked up the RE remakes this summer sale that were -75%. I’m a pirate at heart but pirating on the Steam Deck is annoying so I’m willing to buy video games (talk about GabeN being correct once again that piracy is a service issue) for it. I’ll wait until the RE4 remake is -75% and then buy it as well, likely the next summer sale.
The first spider man game. I wont pay more than 20 bucks no matter how good people will say it is.
Just came back from a cruise and played it.
It's a good game, but definitely gets repetitive after a while.
Spiderman is ridiculously under powered. He's fighting regular henchmen and it takes FOREVER to get them down... IE one of them shoots a rocker launcher, you catch the rocker and yeet it directly back into the fucker... Aaaaaand he just stands back up......
There are also segments where you are MJ and miles which are pure stealth and just boring as shit.
Overall 8/10 it's fun, but certainly not the greatest game ever. I'd still put the Batman games above this for sure.
Elden Ring, Hogwarts Legacy, Dying Light, Cyberpunk 2077, Resident Evil remakes and Village.
All of these have a lot of hype but I'm not fully sold on their gameplay, convinced about their quality/performance, or just haven't been able to justify buying more games while my backlog still has decent amount of bought games.
Also Steam Deck. I'm waiting for an OLED version or next version. There are so many games i just don't even consider playing on TV but would love to play on a handheld device. Mostly 2d/isometric games.
Until the Steam Deck or ROG don't have a better battery, there is no point buying a tethered handheld
I'm thinking Starfield. Ship building and their procgen both look amazing, but if I'm waiting at least 6 months for the bugs to get worked out by both the devs and the modding community, why not at least wait till it's $30 or less?
I'm waiting for the Harry Potter to get down in price
