I’m still waiting for Elden Ring to go on sale for $20 but might end up settling for $30.

do you have any that you are eagerly waiting to go on sale?
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
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.
i def gave up on that and picked it up eventually
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.
- 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.
dude, this list and reasoning… are you… me?
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.
