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 is it starfield. I am a bit to hyped up for it. I will try to wait a year or more. Just like I did for cyberpunk and I was hyped for that game since the first trailer haha
if you wait that long then stuff that is still buggy usually have a mod that fix it.
Same here. Any Bethesda game deserves time to simmer for a good while before playing in my opinion.
This is gonna sound crazy, but I’ve basically played every Bethesda game (except redguard) from release, going all the way back to Arena. I know they have bugs, but they’re not really more buggy on release (or later) than a lot of other games I’d played back then. I agree that we should always be expecting better from game companies that are expecting more profit, but if I compare tES games to my other faves… well, let me use examples.
I love Vampire Bloodlines. Famously fan patched for its extreme bugginess after the studio dissolved. Master of Magic? Yup, fan patched. In fact, I think almost every game I put on my top 20 list has fan patched for major bugs that never got fixed in the full lifecycle of the game.
I would wait on Starfield myself and wait for mods, but considering it’s part of gamepass, I see no reason to not give it a fair shake, especially since I have a few more months of gamepass I got gifted. I do however plan on buying the game like a year or two from now (or maybe ten, if Skyrim is anything to go on) on Steam to do another modded playthrough
Is it going to be on the PC version of Game Pass? I was going to wait because that’s a lot of money for me not having much time, but I can probably get behind “renting” it by paying for Game Pass.

In waiting on it because my vr headset isn’t as good as it could be
I finally got one and played it this summer, worth the wait for sure
Oh so many!
- Cyberpunk 2077
- Elden Ring
- God of War Ragnarok
- Hogwarts Legacy
- Jedi Survivor
- Horizon Forbidden West Burning Shores
- Baldur’s Gate 3 (though it’s not on consoles yet …
I’ve a huge backlog that I’m chipping through one by one, and thse games are only going to get better with patches or cheaper with sales, I can wait for that and reduce my backlog at the same time :D
BG3 is the only game I’ve bought at launch price in my life. No regrets, what an amazing job from Larian.
+1 for God of war ragnarock, no ps5 here so I’ll be waiting for steam release. I just played the prequel this year anyways so I can wait
Tears of the Kingdom because I basically just purchased Breath of the Wild a few months ago and haven’t finished it.
Baldur’s Gate 3, because my friends want to play it all together and so I’m waiting for them
I’ve been holding out on getting Stray for about a year now. I’m just not willing to pay full price for a relatively short game.
Every playstation exclusive that ends up on PC.
Those Spiderman games look SWEET. I’m super excited about Ghost of Tsushima and can’t wait for it to be released in 2024, and finally play it in 2027 when it’s on sale.
Same here, I don’t have $499 burning in my pocket to justify getting Spider-Man 2 when I have a perfectly serviceable PC that can do about as much as a PS5 and then some.
Starfield. Too expensive at release and likely to be buggy
Same. But add not having anything able to efficiently run it at a satisfactory level 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.
Just Starfield. They keep making statements that, as a long time Bethesda fan, sound ridiculous. Tell me lies, tell me sweet sweet lies, Todd. I would like to be pleasantly surprised, but I am reserving judgment for the actual release of the game.
Remember when Todd went on stage and spent 5 minutes joking about the “tell me lies” memes before lying his ass off to sell the steaming pile of shit that was Fallout 76?
I bet he’s laughing his ass off at all the Starfield preorders, cupping his hands together like a Saturday morning villain and preparing to drink the tears of his customers - Granting him eternal youth.
I believe every single thing you said to be true, except the part about eternal youth. He is definitely looking older lol
Maybe a Sith like extension of life? He’ll still be around in 50 years, but looking like Palpatine after being left scarred and deformed.
it just works
I am still waiting for Cyberpunk 2077 to go better than half price.
Stray as well, it seems too expensive for a short game.
The Expanse: A Telltale Series
I see it has been received well but I’m avoiding all details and waiting for all episodes to be released.
im so patient that im waiting for BG3 to come to ps5
I’m holding out on starfield. There must be a cyberpunk moment waiting right around the corner because you can’t jam all that in a game and expect it to work too.
Also 80% what’s out there of so called features of this game only exists inside the heads of influencers. That hopium is the real problem.
I tried holding out on armoured core. I couldn’t. Glad I didn’t. Amazing game. Easier then Elden ring but still very clearly a from software title.
People are mad because starfield doesn’t have things they never said they would have. It is not no man sky, but the comparison is going to be hard to shake
I’m savoring Baldur’s Gate 3, not necessarily waiting to play it per se but not wanting to binge it. I’m planning on waiting on Starfield for at least a few months.
- Tears of the Kingdom - I thought BoTW was fun, but not as fun as older Zelda games; I’ll probably get it eventually, but I want to pay $40 or less
- The Great War: Western Front - still seems pretty buggy, so I’ll wait a bit for patches
- Victoria 3 - I love Paradox games, but they seem to need a few years to get good
- Mount & Blade: Bannerlord - still getting patches and some new content, so I’ll keep waiting
- Starfield - undoubtedly going to be buggy, so I’ll be waiting at least a few months, if not years, after launch to get it
I’m actually considering getting BG3 soon, once I get a few days to play a lot of it. It looks like a solid launch, so I’m happy to pay a bit more for something high quality. I hope they continue to work on it and maybe provide content heavy DLC at some point.
I bought Victoria 3 shortly after release and it’s frustrating how long it’s taking. It clearly has the potential to be a great game, but there’s still so much to be done.
On the other hand, a buddy and I got into Victoria 2 a few months ago and it’s been a blast. A bit clunky at first but it’s so easy to map paint with a friend in vanilla
Mount & Blade II is frustrating for me. I’m just not good enough at the combat to play on the front lines and I’m a shit commander trying to organize my troops in battle.
Basically i just play the exploration and management side and auto-resolve the combats :/
Doing the tournaments is a good way to practice combat.
Actually I’m half decent at one on one and the small melees. But once it’s a ‘real’ fight I get so sweaty palmed lol
Maybe I should try a console controller instead of mouse & kb?
