Not while it has denuvo.

If Civ 7 reviews well and works on Steam Deck, I'll be tempted.

I've been a patient gamer since buying used NES games as a little kid, but I'll buy at launch every once in a while. I was a single adult with a full-time job when Mario Maker came out. I took a day off work just to play it nonstop. It was a childhood dream of mine to design and play my own levels and spent my teenage years making ROM hacks with Lunar Magic.

I still think about how great that day was, staying home all day to play. Sometimes it's nice to treat yourself.

Nope.

Ive got plenty of backlog, and virtually no time. At the current rate, I'll have plenty to play hanging out in hell.

Avowed, Outer Worlds 2, and Fable when it finally releases.

Less temptation and more gave in already. I got myself the ultimate edition of stalker 2. The first ones were some of my all time favourite games and I'm so glad the sequel got made I felt like they deserved my money. Have to say I'm very happy with my purchase and I look forward to the dlc in the future. The atmosphere is great and the gameplay is fun. I strongly recommend it.

Not really. I almost bought some during steam sale especially vtol vr addons but ran out of time and didn’t buy lol

... something Heaven's Vault related is coming in 2025. I really really hope it's a video game and not just more novel things. Really hoping something to do with Mazwai!

If Monster Hunter Wilds plays nice on Steam Deck, I doubt I'll be able to resist. Otherwise, it's a small game, but Heroes of Hammerwatch 2 releases next week, and I am hyped. The first HoH is the GOAT roguelite, IMO, and the demo for HoH 2 was very promising.

I have over 700 games waiting on Steam, over 300 on Heroic... I'm not buying any other game until I get that backlog down.

The only 2 are final fantasy 7 rebirth and the new yakuza/like a dragon game.

almost bought tchia on sale but i have too many real life expenses right now

Lost Judgment is tempting, but I would prefer if it didn't have Denuvo.

There isn't anything on the horizon I am interested in right now. At least, nothing with a concrete release date. The only thing I can even think of right now is getting Adventure Mode in the Steam version of Dwarf Fortress. And that could come anywhere between tomorrow and a decade from now. It's been "coming soon" since the game came out on Steam. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Not a game per se, but I’m probably going to get a Switch2 on launch day. I have a Switch Lite, but want to be able to play couch multiplayer with my kids, starting with Mario Kart and some dancing game to get in some activity.

Found a Monster Hunter Wilds key for cheap, already lost.

I'll seriously consider EU V when it comes out, but it's not even officially announced yet. Until then, I'm trying to whittle down my unplayed games. Hopefully I'll get through a bunch before I find more interesting games.

What do you mean by tempting? Like are you asking about brand new games that don't qualify for "patient" or just games in general? I'm not what most would call a gamer (I'm just an old dude that plays games sometimes) so I don't know that a "Civ 7" gives me much context as to what's being asked.

I am patiently waiting for Kingdom deliverance to get released and a couple of weeks or months to see what the reviews say about the state of the game. Then I will decide whether to buy it or not.

Another two games on my radar are RDR 1 and Indiana Jones, Pentiment and Slay the Princes but waiting for better discounts on those.

Get the Ashes of Erebus mod for Civilization IV instead!

Aloft looks potentially interesting but the alpha was a bit bare on content. I want to see how people feel about it in a few weeks.

For the patient gamers though, perhaps check out Astroneer or Dinkum? Maybe Stationeers or From the Depths if you're into serious simulation.

Been tempted by the several recent Metaphor discounts. But keep telling myself I can wait longer for a deeper one while I play Balatro.

I kinda wanted to try Shatterline. But it’s only on Epic so I can’t tell if anyone's really playing it.

Not really. I mean I'm kind of excited for Killing Floor 3 but not really jumping up and down for, based on how Tripwire handled Killing Floor 2.

Vampires the Masquerade: Bloodlines 2 is another title I've been interested in.

Everything else isn't really grabbing me strongly. I've been going backwards and going after games I've had on my wishlist for far too long than I wanted.
