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?

BG3, Elden Ring, Armored Core 6, just to name the high profile few I'm going to wait for significant price drops in maybe 2 years.

Besides, I do want to play several other RPGs before diving into Baldur's Gate, especially Tyranny, Divinity Original Sin 1 and 2, and the Pathfinder games. Maybe also the old Neverwinter Nights, got the GOG version of them, am yet to begin a campaign

All in all, those ~5 old-ish RPGs alone can probably run me through an entire year.

I never buy any games now until they're under a tenner.

The irony of that is I will willing spend £30-60 on #TTRPG books instead :D
