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?

For me there are a couple.

Hades (2020) - I'm not in any hurry with this one. I'd get it if GOG starts to sell it, otherwise I'll wait a bit more.

Outer Wilds (2020) - I'm getting impatient with this. I'd like this more on GOG too, but I think I'll just buy it when Steam winter sale comes.

The Guild III (2022) - quirky trade/life sim game and I have some fond memories of the second one. But that had quite a few bugs even long after release and I hear the third game still looks unfinished so I'm patient.

It's a shame that the Outer Wilds went for a timed exclusive to epic, but it did help me wait to get it!

Hades is so very good.. I don't think it will come to gog soon ish because, if I remember correct that is, epic payed a lot of bucks for it.

Their exclusivity period is over either way. The game has been on Steam for years. I don't think it would block a GOG release in any way now.

GoG has a sale right now, and Outer Wilds is in it. I played when I had Game Pass but have almost no desire to buy it, even though I almost beat it.

Are you sure that's Outer Wilds? https://store.steampowered.com/app/753640/Outer_Wilds

Maybe what you are thinking of is Outer Worlds, which is a common mix-up. https://store.steampowered.com/app/578650/The_Outer_Worlds

I don't think Outer Wilds is on GOG unfortunately.

You're right, Outer Worlds. My bad.
