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?

Same, I'm probably going to wait until the first sale since I don't want to support $70 as the new game standard unless the game is actually worth it (not a big ridden mess and bugs get patched in a timely manner, content and gameplay lives up to the hype, etc). If it sounds like there aren't many bugs and the content lives up to the hype I may buy it at $70, but I'm trying to avoid it without missing out

It's on Game Pass if you're on PC/Xbox and your country is covered. Feels good to be able to play a triple A game for "free" tbh

I'm just glad it's on gamepass so I can try it out without having to pay full price
