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.
Yeah, it is. Apparently you can even get the early access if you really wanted to by just buying the deluxe upgrade and skip buying the base game. I have it pre-downloaded for the main release (no idea if I even have time to play it then)
Nice! I might not have to be patient for Starfield at all. I mean, at least after Wheel of Time season 2 anyway.

Starfield, waiting to see how many issues it has and what actual gameplay and graphics looks like.
Yeah I’m shocked at how quick people forgot Fallout 76, and the plethora of other broken Bethesda releases.
Don’t get me wrong I’d love for it to be good, but I’ve just been burned too many times to trust it at launch haha
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.
Same! Waiting for it to hit the $10-15 range.
Same! It’s like Abzu, or Journey and I’ll get it when it’s 9.99 or less.
Eh it has so much more production wise than journey though… I love journey, it’s a one of a kind play experience… but everything is minimalistic. Stray is the opposite so chucking them another 15 bucks to cover character design and animation, level design, voice acting, etc doesn’t feel too bad to me
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
Starfield, Baldur‘s Gate 3, and Cyberpunk.
I‘m so tempted to just be part of the Starfield start hype but… let‘s be honest, it‘s a Bethesda game so it probably needs another year of patches and mods.
And Baldur‘s Gate seems to also require a few patches and I‘m not paying more than 40 bucks for any digital copy of a game, even if it‘s the second coming of Jesus among videogames.
Cyberpunk I‘m merely waiting to have a PC that is powerful enough to play it in all its glory. So probably gotta wait half a decade lol
Obviously, on top of my mentioned reasons, it‘s not like I don‘t have 100+ untouched games dozens of them critically acclaimed, so it’s not like I’m just staring at my wall waiting for my moment to strike lol
BG3 is the only game in my life I’ve bought at launch. No regrets. This studio definitely deserves the full price tag. I’ve experienced like 5 bugs throughout my 130 hours of playing. I came from a poorer country and still made sense to me to vote with my wallet what games should be striving to look like on launch.
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
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.
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.
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.
My friend was the motion capture actress for the main character in this game! Her job is so much cooler than mine…
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!
GoG has a sale right now, and Outer Wilds is in it. I played when I had Game Pass but have almost no desire to buy it, even though I almost beat it.
Are you sure that’s Outer Wilds? https://store.steampowered.com/app/753640/Outer_Wilds
Maybe what you are thinking of is Outer Worlds, which is a common mix-up. https://store.steampowered.com/app/578650/The_Outer_Worlds
I don’t think Outer Wilds is on GOG unfortunately.
You’re right, Outer Worlds. My bad.
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
im so patient that im waiting for BG3 to come to ps5
Have some respect for those of us waiting for Xbox 🥲
I’ve got Disco Elyseum, factorio, and Cyberpunk 2077 waiting for me to get into the mood to play them.
If you haven’t bought Disco Elysium already, don’t.
Don’t misunderstand, you NEED to play it. It’s an amazing game.
But even the devs themselves will tell you to pirate the game.
On the other hand, devs who promote pirating their work are the kind of people I do want to give money to.
They’re encouraging it because the studio sacked most of the team abruptly. The developers who actually made the game are long gone
You should read about the situation that prompted them to say that. Their work has basically been stolen from them, and if you do buy it, the people who made the game won’t see a dime.
You’re better off pirating it and sending them money on Patreon or something.
