I’m still waiting for Elden Ring to go on sale for $20 but might end up settling for $30.
Factorio! That thing is never on sale…
Not sure if you know this but on the off chance, that’s a deliberate choice by the devs, so it really won’t ever be on sale.
Although I haven’t explicitly heard anything, I kind of assumed, given the years it’s been on my wishlist :D.
I’ll play it one day, but Dyson Sphere is still filling that hole for me for now.
i def gave up on that and picked it up eventually

do you have any that you are eagerly waiting to go on sale?
I always buy games only on sale. My rule of thumb is: if it’s around 20€ it’s a no-brainer. Anything above that I only buy for games that I really really want and that stay above 20€ even when on sale.
The first spider man game. I wont pay more than 20 bucks no matter how good people will say it is.
Just came back from a cruise and played it.
It’s a good game, but definitely gets repetitive after a while.
Spiderman is ridiculously under powered. He’s fighting regular henchmen and it takes FOREVER to get them down… IE one of them shoots a rocker launcher, you catch the rocker and yeet it directly back into the fucker… Aaaaaand he just stands back up…
There are also segments where you are MJ and miles which are pure stealth and just boring as shit.
Overall 8/10 it’s fun, but certainly not the greatest game ever. I’d still put the Batman games above this for sure.
Literally every game I own is either from Fitgirl, free from epic or bought on sale
Who’s Fitgirl?
Nice try Anti-P2P :P
She lives in a non-extradition country
She’s a repacker, she takes cracked games and repacks them into way smaller downloads, think 20Gb download for a 60Gb game.
The repacker (they don’t crack anything!) that could teach a thing or two to those morons who send games with packages in the hundreds of gigabytes to users. Seriously good work.
I was recently looking at modding fallout 4. Top collection is 100+ gigs. For mods alone on a ten year old game!
Meanwhile fitgirls repack of Cyberpunk2077 is 80 gigs.
I picked up the RE remakes this summer sale that were -75%. I’m a pirate at heart but pirating on the Steam Deck is annoying so I’m willing to buy video games (talk about GabeN being correct once again that piracy is a service issue) for it. I’ll wait until the RE4 remake is -75% and then buy it as well, likely the next summer sale.
i need to look into those. it’ll be my first play through and the remakes might be a good way to do that
- NieR: Automata - I’m hoping for $20, but $25 would work; I think it’s about time for another price drop
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - I kind of like BotW, but not enough to jump on TotK; I want it eventually, so I’ll buy it once I can find it used for $40 or so; I can wait a couple years though
- Mount & Blade: Bannerlord - looking for $20 or so; I’m thoroughly enjoying Warband so I’m in no rush
- Elden Ring - I’m not super interested, but I’d pay $20 or so to give it a shot
I’m not against paying full price for games but I need to be really interested. I’m probably going to pay full price for Cities Skylines 2 in lieu of buying more DLC for the original. If Paradox makes EUV, I’d probably buy that near launch (I have all but the latest expansion for EUIV). Likewise if there’s a new Portal game.
I’m mostly a patient gamer because I don’t feel all that excited following the latest trends and prefer to play a less buggy game than join a community playing something new. The discounts are nice though.
As someone who followed the development of Bannerlord since the first blog post and who first played Warband in 2010, I can confirm that it is truly excellent and with a handful of mods is straight up better in every way but one: in Warband, the total conversion mods are fully mature entire alternate campaigns. I must’ve sunk 100 hours into Gekokujo (Warband mod that puts the campaign in warring-states era Japan) alone, let alone A Clash of Kings (the Game of Thrones total conversion).
dude, this list and reasoning… are you… me?
Elden Ring, Hogwarts Legacy, Dying Light, Cyberpunk 2077, Resident Evil remakes and Village.
All of these have a lot of hype but I’m not fully sold on their gameplay, convinced about their quality/performance, or just haven’t been able to justify buying more games while my backlog still has decent amount of bought games.
Also Steam Deck. I’m waiting for an OLED version or next version. There are so many games i just don’t even consider playing on TV but would love to play on a handheld device. Mostly 2d/isometric games.
Until the Steam Deck or ROG don’t have a better battery, there is no point buying a tethered handheld
I’m waiting for the Harry Potter to get down in price
I’m thinking Starfield. Ship building and their procgen both look amazing, but if I’m waiting at least 6 months for the bugs to get worked out by both the devs and the modding community, why not at least wait till it’s $30 or less?
yeah, that’s definitely a benefit of being patient. allowing all the kinks to be worked out for a better overall experience.
