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 there any games you're planning to pick up during the Steam and GOG sales? (lemmy.zip)

We've got two big sales going on, and I'm currently deciding what I would like to pick up. I'm planning to get Expeditions: Rome since it's 60% off, and I'm trying to decide if I want to finally get Terra Invicta.

What patient games are the people here planning to pick up? Maybe I'll find a few that I "need" to try!

I'm really hoping for an armored core 6 sale soon!

Not sure what platforms you have available, but it's 30% off on the Steam summer sale!

I yoinked Undertale and Fallout 76. I just finished FO4, before that was New Vegas, and 3 before that. Finally got hooked on Fallout after years of trying and just not jiving. The show motivated me to try again.

I'm thinking about either Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth or Warhammer40k: Rogue Trader.

However, I wouldn't be playing them anytime soon with my backlog. So, I'm likely to just sit this sale out.

I bought Dreamfall Chapters, which is back to its historical low on Steam. I've heard good things about it, and Dustborn from the same dev looks super promising.

Monhunt Rise seems like a good price. Undertale would be a nice gift for my nephew.

I spent about $140AUD on euro truck sim 2 DLC, plus American truck sim and a lot of DLC

[–] stargazingpenguin@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 months ago (4 children)

That'll bring you quite a few hours of enjoyment I'm sure! I've got a lot of hours into both of those games.

Crow Country and Chained Echoes were ready choices for me.

[–] retrieval4558@mander.xyz 3 points 6 months ago

My pickups have been Horizon Forbidden West, Subnautica, Spelunky, middle-earth: shadow of war, and Pony Island

I don't have exact price breakdowns, but it was total about 60$ with the vast majority of that being H:FW at 45ish.

Nah, Warframe still keeps getting updates and it's free and not p2w so I'll see y'all there

Debating to either purchase Hi Fi Rush or Persona 5 Royal.

Already got Persona 5 Royal on PS5 but kind of want to replay it on PC and I’m not sure whether I’ll like Hi Fi Rush.
