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.

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.
Avowed, Outer Worlds 2, and Fable when it finally releases.
Nope.
Ive got plenty of backlog, and virtually no time. At the current rate, I'll have plenty to play hanging out in hell.
... 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!
Not while it has denuvo.
I believe the linux version is sans Denuvo
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.
In February, kingdom come II is releasing. Excited off my fucking rocker, currently trying to 100% the first before 2 releases!
Yep, I'm probably not going to wait very long before buying it. I got the first one not long after release and I've been looking forward to the sequel ever since! Some of the advanced reviewers are even saying it plays reasonably well on the Steam Deck!
By the way, the 100% is sometimes frustrating but a great feeling when you get there! It was the first (and only) game I ever took the time to do that with.
Jesus Christ be praised!

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.
Civ 7 is steam deck verified and releases Feb 11.
Don't ask me how I know that...
The other issue is that civ is never done until the dlc is out too.
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.

The first beta had issues with crashing on Proton but it seems like they figured out the reason.
Also, there is a second beta upcoming so you can test it before release: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2246340/view/547849766230294535
I know it isn't what you mentioned but it reminded me when I wad reading anyway. I am quite hyped for the new Heroes of Might and Magic.
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.
I'm not a patient gamer generally speaking but I put so much time into the OG trilogy (all pirated) as well as all the modded repacks over the years (countless hours spent in gamma) that I felt obligated to support them this time around. Since I am no longer a broke kid playing on a laptop that can barely handle the game it feels right to give them full price for a game finally.
I put about 8 hours into stalker 2 before I shelved it. Not because I wasn't having fun, but I want them to just put that final layer of polish on the game before I finish it. I had already modded it to basically work the same as previous games with some adjustments to make up for the lackluster Alife on launch, but there were still some minor things that I have heard they have been fixing that will probably make finishing my save in a few months more enjoyable so I am happy to wait a little.
I'm still waiting until it gets more updates but I'm so impatient to play it 😄
almost bought tchia on sale but i have too many real life expenses right now
Not really. I almost bought some during steam sale especially vtol vr addons but ran out of time and didn’t buy lol
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.
Famous last words.
Found a Monster Hunter Wilds key for cheap, already lost.
I generally call myself a patient gamer for most titles.. but the monster hunter series is not one of them. Those games release in good shape, fully formed titles that don't really need to wait on.. I guess generally I'm patient when I feel the product doesn't match the price, but in this case, I feel it absolutely does. If there is DLC, it's either really silly cosmetic things, or a full fledged expansion on the content by at least 2x.
I’ve been playing MH for almost two decades… it’s the one game I buy immediately when new games come out. I KNOW they’re going to be good and they have always been stellar.
Pokémon used to be the only other series I bought on launch day, but that stopped after Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. ScarVio was a garbage and I’m very happy I didn’t waste money on that.
Lost Judgment is tempting, but I would prefer if it didn't have Denuvo.
The only 2 are final fantasy 7 rebirth and the new yakuza/like a dragon game.
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.
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.
i felt scammed, by supporting them, when they were on "early acess" on steam
